Rocy&#x27;s Mexican Food

My dad was craving a…read morebomb menudo after a bad hangover, lol, so we decided to come here since it was one of the only Mexican places nearby that offered menudo. I would honestly recommend this place. My family is from LA, and we would definitely come back to this place if we were to come back to Bakersfield. Our service/server was great; she was very attentive and quick. The space was great, the environment was welcoming, and it honestly felt authentic. The food was delicious, and the menudo was definitely appreciated by my Mexican dad (that shows how good it was lol). The prices were very reasonable (IMO). Would definitely recommend!

It had been a while since my last visit to this restaurant, so we decided to stop by again. The…read morefood was good and flavorful, but it's definitely on the pricier side. To give an idea of the cost: a two-item combo was $17.95, a kids bean and cheese burrito was $5.95 (not including the $3.95 apple juice), and the shrimp cocktail was $20.95. They also charge extra for sour cream (about $0.75). I'm guessing some of the pricing may reflect the location on this side of town. As for the food itself, it was solid and pretty standard for Mexican food. I ordered the shrimp cocktail, which came served in a huge margarita glass (super cute presentation) and it was loaded with shrimp. It was delicious, and I finished every last drop. My husband ordered the enchilada dinner special, which is his usual favorite, and my child had the bean and cheese burrito. Overall, this is a good spot for an occasional meal, but probably not somewhere I'd visit every week because of the prices. One tip: if you have those local high school football discount cards, use them here. They can save you about $5 on a $35 purchase.

I had a mango chamoy margarita, while my husband got a roasted chili cucumber margarita on the rocks. His drink was SPICY! I ordered the shrimp fajitas and my husband ordered the chicken and steak molcajete. Our food was brought out super fast! The portions - humongous! But the food is so good! My husband is super picky when it comes to Mexican food, and he said this molcajete is his favorite so far compared to other Mexican restaurants we've been to. The bright colorful colors and great music selection really make it joyous and fun dining experiences. Highly recommend.

I am looking forward to future dining.

This restaurant has popped up numerous times on my social media feeds so I decided to pop in today…read morefor a quick lunch. The place is in downtown Bakersfield and does not have dedicated parking so make sure that you plan to park in the parking garage or on the street. Luckily I was able to find something on the corner across the street at one of the busiest times of the day. The place is very small, so true to its name... It's in a very small corner of the building. It was hard for me to tell where the front desk was because there is a wall partition that goes well above the heads of anyone standing over at the counter, so I waited a few minutes before anyone noticed I was there. There were no tables on the terrace... It was full of mosquitoes anyway so I doubt anybody would want to sit there. The front part of the restaurant was occupied as well as the booth along the corridor, so I had to go sit at a very small table around the corner next to the bathroom. The menu has a lot of food options, and there are definitely options for vegetarians. They range from common appetizers to seafood and soups to Oaxacan specialties such as mole and quesadillas with Oaxacan cheese. I was super excited to try this place based on what I saw on social media and was quite hungry. Despite the place being small, it had a very busy and bustling kitchen, you could hear the activity in the kitchen, such as pots and pans, and the fryer being used. The places decorated in Mexican decor and is actually quite cute. I ordered chicken mole Oaxacan-style, which means the mole was very dark almost black. My plate came with refried beans and some cheese as well as Mexican rice. It also included flour or corn tortillas, the corn tortillas I was told were made on site so I opted for those. I ordered Jamaica but the server accidentally brought me cucumber and lime. I had a tiny sip of the cucumber and lime beverage and it was very sweet and did not taste like cucumber or lime. When I reminded the server that I ordered, hi Mika, she brought it over immediately and was very nice about it the Jamaica was better tasting. The server brought over chips and salsa. The salsa was was not thick and it was almost as if they added water to make it stretch a bit. The chips were nothing special, they like salt and they were starting to go stale. I was super excited when I got my food. It was nice and hot. The mole was tasty but not as tasty as I've had at other places and it seemed like they just put more sauce on top of a boiled chicken thigh. I am used to the chicken being cooked with the mole sauce so that it integrates with the sauce or it is served shredded and then integrated into the sauce. The rice did not seem fresh to me, it was tasty but dry like when you reheat it. The beans were OK, there was nothing special about them. While the tortillas did appear to be made by hand, I don't think they were freshly pressed and made right as I ordered my meal, even though it took a moment to get my food. The tortillas probably were made before and reheated therefore, they got cold quickly and were dry. I hope to go back and try the enchiladas and maybe the experience will be different or perhaps I can go on a day when the rice is freshly made and the tortillas are hot off the press. But today was not that day. Enjoy! PS. I forgot to add that my mole dish was rather pricey coming in at $18. Also, the restaurant charges $.75 as a service fee, I did not ask what it was for... But I will say it was not advertised anywhere at the front desk or on the menu that you would be charged a service fee. Overall, with tax, service fee and tip my meal was just under $32.

I understand they have meat already seasoned but everytime I ask for more seasoning on the already seasoned meat they make it a big issue.

I am on a diet, but when a co-worker suggested we go to this restaurant close to where we work -…read moreone that I had not been to yet, I jumped at this opportunity. She described it as a small hole in the wall that has incredible, delicious authentic Mexican food. Very true! It smelled wonderful when we walked in - yes, it was small place with a nice patio to sit. The people who worked there were terribly friendly. We were given free samples of aqua Fresca to try - and they were delicious. I couldn't follow exactly what the owner said was in them (my Spanish is terrible)- but the first had pineapple and cucumbers I believe and it was so refreshing and wonderful. The second tasted as if it had chocolate in it, but when my friend clarified with the owner - no, there wasn't chocolate in it. It reminded me of Mexican hot chocolate - only served cold. It was so good. My friend got the Horchata, which she always gets. I couldn't decide between the grilled fish and shrimp plate or the steak ranchero, so the very accommodating owner said he would make me a "plate" (singular) with both! How nice! I love it when I can get food the way I like it! In the end, I was served two big separate plates of delicious food !- The fish which I believe was tilapia - was perfectly grilled, lightly breaded. I asked for a salad, to go with it (passing on the beans and rice), and I was surprised when the salad came with a lot of sliced avocado. Then he brought out a whole plate of the Steak Ranchero. It was sooo spicy (even for me), but I couldn't stop eating it! I was on a diet, like I said, but who could resist fresh tortillas! My friend got the quesadilla, which is her favorite. It was huge... and she was very happy with it. She's a tiny thing, but she ate all of hers. The owner came by a handful of times to check on us. Did I need a box to take my food home? He assumed I guess that I would not be eating all that food. "OH NO!" I told him, "I'm eating all of it!" Our intention was to give the sweet faced dog who was hanging out, a bit of our lunch, but we ate everything except a few tortillas. I tried to get a little bit of the juice from my plates to flavor the tortilla and offered it to her. She said, "Eh, I'm on Keto" and walked away. Oh well.

Los Tacos de Huicho was always the thing that hit the spot. I've been coming ever since. It feels like a hole in the wall spot; a bit out of the way from the downtown area, but it's definitely a hidden gem. Dining is a straightforward process. You walk up to the counter, pick your meat of choice (they have so many options!!) and how you'd like it (as a taco, burrito, etc.). Like I said, their fish tacos are the way to go, but I make sure to order an assortment to keep it interesting. They give you a receipt and will call your number. Seating is spacious with plenty of seating inside & outside in their beautiful patio area. Don't worry about missing your number being called. They have a speaker that goes to the patio area. When you get your tacos, if you're like me, you might want to load it up with all the toppings. And what's so awesome is that they have a toppings bar, so you can fill up your tacos with onions, cilantro, lemon, radishes, jalapeños, mild or hot sauce, etc. I always know I'm getting a great meal when I come here. And I'm getting hungry just looking back at the pictures! If you haven't been, you need to try them out!
