The morning cashier... Older man with glasses... One day I asked for Marlboro reds and when I got home I noticed that he had put lights in my bag instead... Sucks I thought but I can go back in the morning no problem... The next morning I go there and he says to me that I am wrong and if he gave me lights than I 100% said to him lights not reds... I've never smoked lights and I know what I ask for everytime... Now I have this guy standing in front of me saying he's 100% right and I didn't say what I said... I don't care who's right or who's wrong or if he misheard me I just wanted to exchange my cigarettes without the hassle of somebody trying to make me feel like that I'm 100% wrong... horrible customer service at best... read more

Update: No change given by older gentleman with glasses... $15... So the owner is out of the country and won't be back until the middle of February... I had one of the other employees call him and he said he refuses to review the tape... Obviously they are all covering for each other... The employee Shin told me wait a few days and he would talk to the owner and now I'm convinced he did this in an effort to get the owner to destroy his tapes before showing them to me... I will not accept the fact that you gave me my change like you said you did until a see the tape where the cashier puts the money in my hand... I will be contacting the authorities and openly will boycott your establishment... That means me and all my neighbors that are heavy alcohol drinkers... Hell if they're only seasonal drinkers... I'm still going to influence them to boycott read more

Had a solid variety of beer and wine, didn't check out their liquor. It was my friend's birthday and he is a big fan of craft beers, found him two that seemed like novelties and he ended up loving both of the large bottles - back to back. We'd go back if we are ever back in the area! read more

Good selection of spirits and a long line of fridges filled with beer. Not much in terms of bargains and the aisles are very narrow, but I found a sixpack of something decent for $9.99 plus tax. I couldn't tell you about their wine offerings - I spent no time in those aisles. read more

The black haired new girl with her nails always done and looks like the girl from Mighty Ducks, is so rude. I've watched her pour and take a drink and hand one to her more embarrassed black coworker before taking a few sips and then ringing me up... wtf!? She always whispers a rude comment and is disdainful... I've purchased from here for my tasting parties for 10 years, and now I go to Dobbin, she is GREAT! read more

This place is under new ownership and has changed a lot over the last couple months. The store is much cleaner and more inviting, they've got a very decent collection of the craft beers I love and a greater selection of import wines I've seen in the past. The thing I love the most about this place though is the staff, very friendly and knowledgeable, and if theres something you want but they don't have, they're more than happy to put it on special order. Also, wines are 10 percent off on mondays which is a really big plus when the week starts out roughly. read more

And the location has an attached drive through. You can tell that the people working at ROCO are passionate about what they do. This was one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had; We were lucky to snag a table, but ended up waiting for a member of our party for over 30 minutes. While we waited, our waitress offered us a complimentary donut, which we split between the 3 of us. I'm not a big donut person, but the donut was amazing. The flavor wasn't overly sweet and the dough felt a little undercooked (?) in the best way; The inside of the donut was slightly chewy in the way a hot and fresh croissant might be. The donut was so good that my friend ordered another for herself. And we got lucky; At one point the chef came out and brought us another complimentary donut because he wanted our opinion on a new flavor he was experimenting with (equally amazing). I've never had so many pleasant interactions the staff at a restaurant before; I felt like it was my lucky day. When it came down to our actual orders, the food was just alright. I ordered the migas breakfast taco. I loved the texture of the tortilla, but felt the egg mixture could profit from a little more salt or a sharper cheese. The rest of my party ordered the potato, egg, & cheese breakfast tacos and raved about the sauces. 2 members of my party also ordered a latte and remarked that they wished it was stronger. Overall, I had a great experience at ROCO. It's a great community spot, and you really can't beat the value (half of food items $10 or under). I'm excited to return to grab more donuts and try their lunch/dinner options. I've heard great things about the burger.

If you go, I highly recommend trying one! The coffee was good, but it's not very sweet on its own. If you're someone who prefers more of a dessert-style coffee, you'll probably want to add some sugar or sweetener. If you like a more traditional coffee taste, it'll be perfect as-is. The space itself is beautiful inside--bright, clean, and really well designed. It's a place you could easily sit and relax for a while. The staff also seemed very friendly and helpful, which made the visit even nicer. I also ordered the breakfast tacos. They were fine, but nothing that really stood out. The eggs weren't as fluffy as I expected, so while they're okay if you want something quick to eat, they're not a must-order in my opinion. Overall, it's a great spot for coffee and especially for a doughnut, and the atmosphere alone makes it worth stopping in. Welcome to the area, Roco!

I was able to easily order online before leaving a dental appointment, and by the time we arrived at their location, the wait was only a few minutes. They provide an electronic pager so you can wait comfortably in your car until your food is ready, which was especially appreciated with unmelted snow still on the ground. Although this is a food truck, they have their setup very well organized. The smells coming from the ordering window were absolutely mouthwatering. Chicken Tacos - Four freshly made tacos with your choice of meat (we chose shredded chicken), topped with onion, cilantro, radish, lime, and multiple sauces. My grandson dove into his meal so quickly -- after kindly sharing one taco with me -- that I forgot to grab a photo! Birria Pupusas - Three generously sized pupusas stuffed with beef birria, cheese, onion, and cilantro, served with cabbage on the side. We also ordered the Plátanos (fried plantains), served with a dollop of sour cream -- delicious. The portions were very filling; I have more than enough for another meal. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the prices were very reasonable. The best compliment I can give? My grandson has already requested that whenever I come to visit (which is pretty often -- I live just three miles away, LOL), we order takeout from here again. I think we've found a new regular spot -- one I only wish I had tried much sooner!
