Beautiful seating, lighting, & exceptionally clean. Oh & the service was five stars. The food though...I think I cried for a moment out of pure joy when they brought the Mexican street corn to our already overflowing table. My fiancé & I actually high fived over the fajitas texanas. The margaritas were so big i had to use two hands to hold my glass & I have zero complaints. To sum this up. I would live there if they let me.

Down through the years I've never had any meal that wasn't a great experience. They have a great location and the restaurant is beautiful with an outside dining area. I order takeout a lot and I'm never disappointed. The dish that I order the most is the ACP Texcano. It's delicious and reheats very well. Recently I tried the Mango Habanero Wings and I think they are delicious. You get a great portion for the price. I would also recommend trying the white sauce with the chips and salsa. When eating in I've found the staff to be courteous and helpful.

I would love to have that recipe. They also had cheese quesadillas, steak and chicken with peppers, refried beans, but I didn't get those because of the color was way off. Also had queso and rice on the buffet. Then behind it, they had a salad buffet, which also had shredded cheese you could put on your items. They didn't have taco shells at the buffet, but when we asked, they gave us some no issues so if you want to make a taco, you can just ask them. They also had cinnamon covered tortillas for dessert, but we didn't try those. If you like sweet tea, the sweet tea was delicious. The restaurant was pretty typical of any Mexican restaurant decorated with vibrant colors. The server was great.

There were only six active tables in the restaurant and no one was in line in front or behind us. We just stood there for 15 minutes waiting to be acknowledged by the staff who walked by us several times. After finally being seated, we waited another 15-20 minutes before a server took our order, and this was only after I stood up to track one down! We finished our meal and waited an additional 15-20 minutes for someone to come check on us. I found four staff members hanging out by the check-in podium, completely oblivious. They didn't care. If the food here was great, or there was a huge crowd, then the wait times and the horrible service might be acceptable. But as it is, I think the only thing this place has going for it is it there is nothing else in Pulaski.

Roca's is literally maybe two miles away from RU Campus. When we arrived we were immediately greeted and sat down. The table was attached to a window and there were a few ants crawling around. We simply just killed them and moved on. It took nearly 10 mins for the server to come take our drink orders and another 5 minutes to actually get our drinks. They were not crowded at all. The food came out quickly and was tasty. Would go again.

We will definitely be coming back often.

We didnt order anything complicated, basic off the menu items. Took ten minutes to get a glass of water? People came in a good ten to fifteen minutes behind us and got their meals before us? It was obvious there was an issue in the kitchen, and an out of sync front of the house. We wanted to pay for our drinks and go after an almost 40 minute wait for rice and beans? The staff avoided us, so we went to the bar to pay and that was even difficult, none of the staff came to help. Finally a guy from the back came out and said dont worry about the drinks? How was that so difficult from an employee to say? We offered to pay for what we had. Literally a waste of time, it is what it is but... 1 Star 01251

The vibe is incredible from the second you step through the door. The staff is so genuinely cheerful, and the rustic, country-bar aesthetic--complete with cozy wooden booths--makes you feel right at home. Plus, they've actually mastered the music volume! It's high enough to keep the energy up, but you can still totally hear your friends across the table. But let's talk about the food, because it is next level. Whether you're starving and need the Arroz Con Pollo or craving something lighter like their amazing grilled salads, the portions are always perfection.
