Especially when we were looking for a place to celebrate some very exciting family news! Rockas serves a delicious menu of food inspired by both Jamaican and Caribbean influences, with (of course) a dash of classic Mexican cuisine too. From their appies to our delicious meal, nothing disappointed. What put this latest experience over the top, though, was the kind and amazing service we received. When they found out our special occasion, they celebrated right along with us and brought out a special treat too. Simply amazing! And of course, you can't beat the Calle 38 jungle vibe and outdoor seating here. Definitely worthy of 5 stars or more!

While vacationing in Playa del Carmen to celebrate my sister's birthday, we decided to have dinner…read moreoutside of our resort. After reading some amazing reviews, we chose this restaurant. We called ahead to confirm if a reservation was necessary, but they assured us it wasn't. The place was charming, and we opted to sit outside. The service was great, and we started with drinks--a rum punch and a Long Island. Both were well-made, and the rum punch, crafted with Appleton rum, was good, though I've had better. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the hype. The honey BBQ jerk wings had a good flavor, but they were incredibly spicy--perfect if you love heat, but a bit much for me. We also ordered the lobster, which was extremely dry, tough, and rubbery. My sister couldn't eat it and was very disappointed. I ordered the oxtail, and while the portion was generous and the meat fell off the bone, the flavor was lacking. The rice was mushy--I prefer it more grainy--and it was missing seasoning. The salad was nice, though I wish there had been more avocado, and the plantain was served cold. They did surprise us with a birthday ice cream sandwich cake and song happy birthday. While they do have other menu options, I'd recommend anyone considering this place to decide for themselves. Would I return? Probably not--there are so many other dining options nearby to explore.

We will definitely return.

This most recent time we of course ordered the crispy grilled fish again, plus the shrimp pasta and the Jamaican Jerk Chicken....all delicious dishes! Overall: It's definitely worth trying out because you won't be disappointed.

The pork belly tacos were mentioned as a new item. Unusual for Mexico. I've only had them on Tybee Island, GA, at a foodie place. Complimentary chips and salsa were offered while I waited, but Inpassed on those, not wanting to spoil my hunger for the pork belly taco. They arrived - three on the plate. The pork was cooked nearly crisp to the edges but soft in the center. They were seated on a small amount of sauce. They were better than the ones on Tybee Island! So tasty! I could have had a second plate! Service was excellent - friendly and attentive! Highly recommended.

There's no doubt the food is overpriced here but when you think about how you're getting beachfront dining, then it's a little more palatable. After dining here a few days in a row, my favorite was the beef quesadillas. I also got to try the chicken tacos (3 in an order) and chicken nachos, but the beef quesadillas were by far the best thing I got. The beef was tender and the cheese was perfectly melted. Charge your order to your room and you're good to go! When you're staying at the Ritz, you don't have another option but this option isn't that bad... just a tad overpriced.
