Fortunately, the new owners do too. As always, I ordered the authentic tacos; however,the cilantro they contained was mostly yellow. Otherwise, they were okay. Still what has mostly impressed me over the years was the general freshness of everything. The empanadas were still tasty, as were the chicken, black beans and rice. It seems that the place has been refreshed a bit by the new ownership. Of course, prices have increased significantly too. Overall, the food is still good, the new owners are very friendly and we still like this place and hope to return again next summer.

While the food was delicious and drinks were flavorful, the atmosphere and service left me underwhelmed. Plus the tables and chairs looked tired and well worn. Our drinks were ordered first and not served until after we started eating...and only after a couple of inquiries. They were quite flavorful. Especially the cucumber jalapeño martini. It appeared the only bartender was also waiting tables. The kitchen staff were the highlight of our experience, because our food was delivered at the speed of light! Carnitas Verde were tender and mouth watering. They were so good that I ate them with a fork vs wrapping them in a tortilla. The verde sauce had the perfect amount of heat. Plus the portion size was generous. We sat inside by the door to the back porch. Unfortunately the door leading outside didn't close properly, so every time staff went outside, we were blasted with nuclear hot heat. Even after closing the door ourselves and mentioning the issue several times, it appeared the staff was unable to keep the door closed which made for a very unpleasant dining experience. I think we were all sweating profusely and ready to leave quickly to get back to the comfort of our AC! Our table service for 6 was also subpar. We had to repeatedly find our server to ask for drink refills and finally our checks. When preparing our checks, he came back to the table 3 times to ask us which orders were on our 3 checks. Even then our checks were incorrect. We simply decided to pay without attempting to rectify the error with our server. I understand staffing can be a challenge. Besides the bar, the restaurant appeared adequately staffed for a 5:30pm dinner service. Possibly they were having POS issues. Maybe it was an off night. Or maybe our server was new and inexperienced. Bottom line, I'll have a difficult time convincing my family to indulge me with my annual visit to Roca Roja visit next year.

I've tried a wide variety of dishes and loved every one. The space has that cozy, classic hole-in-the-wall charm. My only suggestion as someone who loves the food: I would visit so much more often if there were complimentary tap or filtered water available for dine-in guests. This sometimes keeps me from stopping by as much as I'd like to, especially when the extra cost for bottled water starts adding up. Still an easy 5 stars for the quality of the cooking, and I really hope you consider offering basic tap water in the future!

This is not a 4.5-star restaurant as the reviews would indicate. On a good day 4 stars. I read…read moreall the reviews and was excited - and I will tell you this - the ambiance and the watermelon mint margherita were on point. That drink was amazing. My wife's burrito was as good as you can get at any Mexican restaurant but not really better. I was pretty excited to try the chicken mole because so many reviews were talking about how authentic this restaurant was. When I first got the dish I tried the mole sauce. In my experience a good mole sauce is something that is a passed down for generations with a complex and unique flavor and a minor unsweetened dark chocolate undertone. This mole was not all that flavorful - was somewhat cold and painted over a fried 1/2 chicken. I was going to power through it and this may have been a four-star review - but when I peeled back the breast part of the chicken it was really cold - like refrigerator cold - almost frozen. Not undercooked - cold. This tells me that I was eating a meal that was prepared in advance and then re-heated. I will say that the server was excellent - and when I returned the dish he handled it like a pro, I ended up getting a different dish that was pretty solid - nothing exceptional. I haven't returned a dish in years and was happy with how this process went. I did get comped one of those excellent watermelon drinks which made me happy. All in all - I will probably go again - but I would probably only go to the bar for the drinks and ambiance. I'd give 3.5 stars - but cannot give 4 stars.
