    Pupusas

    I love this restaurant! The food was absolutely on point, and the service--while it's a small, locally owned business--was incredibly attentive and welcoming. The space was clean and well maintained, and you can truly taste the authenticity in every dish. I would definitely recommend it and will absolutely be coming back. If you're looking for authentic Salvadoran cuisine, this is the place to go.

    Chicken Fajita
    Nikki H.

    Ambiance: This is a diamond in the rough. Clean and nice bathroom. Service: Good service. Not many customers in there, but our server was attentive. Food: Delicious. I don't think I've ever had Salvadorian food so I didn't know what to expect. I got the chicken fajitas. The chicken was flavorful. The beans were my absolute favorite. Not a big fan of corn tortillas, but that may be traditional. I cleaned my plate!

    Desayuno Salvadoreño

    Food was authentic and so delicious, we were so impressed. We had the pupusas, tamales, and desayuno salvadereño and everything was excellent. The horchata was also so good and refreshing, service was very friendly. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

    Desayuno Campesino

    Excellent! This place has a very nice casual look, very warm and "feels like home". The music is very nice and appropriate to the atmosphere and type of food served. We enjoyed the Desayuno Campesino the plantains, beans and everything papaya is delicious! The avocado was served very fresh and delicious, well done El Ranchito Salvadoreño ! My wife had the tacos al pastor which were fresh and tasty. Everything was very fairly priced.

    Stopped here while vacationing at the beach. One of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever visited.

    Since they opened 4 years ago, we always make a point to dine at Roca Roja. This year was…read moredifferent. 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.

    The southern hospitality given to us by Karissa was outstanding!…read moreShe went above and beyond to accommodate our party of six with two children. The tacos made with short ribs of beef, were amazing and my favorite. The freshly made tortilla chips and guacamole, were fresh and better than any chips I have had in a while.

Checked on us often but not hovering! We started with free chips and salsa, very good salsa with a tiny kick. Next we ordered mango margaritas and table side guac. The margaritas are definitely made from scratch, very good mango flavor but get an extra shot if you want to taste liquor. The guacamole was delicious with nice lime flavor. I was disappointed that they had no enchiladas on the menu so I ordered the Molcajete. It's definitely large for one person so plan on bringing home a bag! The food was delicious. The only con was that the meats were not sliced all the way so you had to pull out a chunk to slice. I also feel the steak was a little tough to chew. The pineapple slices were unexpected but delicious. The food came out hot which was great. The chicken fajitas and the steak fajitas were also very good. If you order it with cheese, it's going to be melted in and the pineapple is cut up and mixed in which was unexpected and was the only downside. Hubby liked the shrimp bowl. All in all we had a great meal and would come again.
