I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was very cute and the vibe was perfect. The menu is quite limited as well as the seating so I’d recommend making a reservation. The food was good but it wasn’t great. I would definitely go again if I was downtown but it wouldn’t be my top choice. Our table ordered the Queso Fundido and added chorizo. It came with bread which was warm and soft but I instantly wished I had ordered a side of House Tortilla Chips to give that nice crisp. As for the entrees, we ordered Braised Lamb tacos and Al Pastor tacos. The braised lamb was nothing special. Nothing stuck out with that dish. The al pastor tacos were slightly dry. I had avocado crema added when I ordered but still had to get a side of sour cream once I started eating. Overall, it was good. Would go back to try other menu items. The sevice was good, but again not great. I felt rushed to order in the beginning even after mentioning it was my first time there but once I did, the service lacked which is why I didn’t get a chance to order chips for the appetizer. The waitress was very pleasant and the bathroom was clean. It was a tight aisle to get to the bathrooms where only one person could walk down at a time but that is just due to the restaurant being small in general. Not a layout issue. Modern design and walkable location.

A great tapas bar. It is true tapas without much substitution but very tasty. Thoughtful crafted cocktails and top shelf tequilas to suit all your needs.

Cool spot serving up dishes with big flavor and good service.

There aren’t a ton of vegan options on the menu at Roca, but they did have an interesting option! I got the vegan chile relleno. What wasn’t to like? Fried to perfection, great filling that was….well, filling, and tons of flavor. The dish was seasoned well, slightly smokey, and carried a nice level of acidity. Super impressed to find a vegan cream being incorporated here as well.

I came hungry, but left filled and happy with my meal. What more can one ask for?

Our waitress was absolutely delightful and super attentive. Not included in the photos are the lovely cocktails we enjoyed. The grilled pulpo was amazing and the lamb tacos with that birria were 10/10! Everything else was also fantastic and we are looking forward to our next visit to try a frw things that looked wonderful but we were too stuffed to indulge in 🙂 thank you for making our engagement anniversary so lovely, and for a very sweet valentine’s day!

The atmosphere was awesome, the food however was a huge disappointment. My husband ordered the steak and there was no seasoning at all and I got the enchiladas and they were sour. Nothing we ordered had any hint of Spanish or Mexican food. We needed our meal with 2 bites out of each and the server acted like that was normal. Received the the wrong bill and waited another 10 for the correct check. We had high hopes but the food was very disappointing.

Came here for dinner with my fiancé 🙂 We started with the Taquitos de Papas. Those were really good, like way better than I thought! Great texture and even better flavor!

For my entree I got the sea bream Frito. Wow, what a presentation! It was my second time eating a whole fish, and the first time one was curled up like that, it was neat! It was delicious, and I thought black beans with it honestly sounded kind of weird at first, but it was a great combination!

Then for dessert I got the churro cheesecake. That was really good! It honestly tastes just like you’d expect! And there was an interesting effect, about 10 seconds after each bite your taste buds would experience an explosion of yummy, sweet flavors!

The service was great too Emma was our waitress and was very attentive and even packed my fiancé’s leftovers for her, that was very nice of her!

The interior is cool and modern, I like the ambient lighting that changes color.

If you’re looking for a location to get a glimpse of what Mexican food and culture is like, Roca is an excellent place to start. They also offer alternatives such as the mushroom chorizo to substitute for the pork typically used. Perfect portions with excellent seasoning amounts.

We arrived at Roca with 20+ people about an hr before closing. It was our 1st time here as we are visiting from B.C., Canada. We had a wonderful time. Andrea was our server and she was great! Attentive, helpful and friendly. The food was wonderful! Hope to return someday!

Food was good but was overpriced for what it is. Modern take on Mexican cuisine that just doesn’t hit the level it should. Not bad by any stretch though and still recommended.

Roca is such a lovely place to dine. The menu allows for several different dining experiences — you could order individually or family style, get a full meal or drinks and apps. The Paloma is our favorite drink, and the mushroom tacos are our favorite tacos. Outdoor seating is lively but still quiet. The staff are really friendly, knowledgeable, and are attentive without being bothersome.
