Parking was atrocious, made a reservation was told that if we be more than 15 minutes late it would be canceled. Can't park in the parking lot behind the building construction everywhere else. when we showed up found that there were 12 people in the whole building so it seemed a little silly to have us panicked. Since we could lose our spot for being 15 minutes late. Service was good food was average all and all not a bad experience. Little dark inside neighborhood not the most inviting after it gets dark outside. Especially cuz I had to park four blocks away. even though the rear of the building was empty other than three cars in a lot capable of holding 30.

Great flavours but the food portion size was a bit disappointing for the price. Taco platter were flavourful, had the shrimp and grilled fish but the Carne Asada (steak) was suspiciously smaller than the advertised “10oz” cut and was a bit chewy. Still good food but didn’t hit expectations when dinning at this elevated themed, hip Mexican, business casual, restaurant/bar. Good place to go if you’re celebrating but wouldn’t be my go to every day pick. Reservations is recommended. Children can dine here but there’s no kids menu and the atmosphere tend to get loud during the evening. Happy dining!

Kudos to the waitress that helped us, she was very thoughtful of our dietary restrictions and made sure to confirm with us multiple times even when we forgot. The food was ok, but the excellent service and the great music moves it up to 5 stars!

Great place to grab a bite and drink. Live music a few days a week and they had a musician there the night I went. Great vibe and atmosphere and very friendly staff. I would recommend.

Having lived in Mexico for 10 years and owing a Mexican restaurant I can say this place nails it! The tacos ?, tácitos, guacamole ?, the service and drinks are 6 star! Great place to watch ? ?. Located right downtown near the arena. Highly recommended. Viva La Roca, la comida rica!!!

First time ever being there and Kerstie was phenomenal! super busy due to a Jets game and we still got our food quickly with amazing responsive service. definitely going back to see her soon!!!

I liked the styling of the restaurant. The tacos were rally taste. I wish there was a bit more. But overall good. I'd go back.

Who the f’s idea was it for a “dance bar” to be at this location? And have no one wearing masks inside OR outside? I live around area and I’m kept up until wee hours every single weekend from the excessively loud music and drunk people stumbling out at all hours.Hope this place gets shut down/relocated.Overall VERY disrespectful establishment. If you want a better idea just go to the 1-2 star reviews.

Overall very disappointed. Our party of four had the $12 Margheritas , the $27 mucho nachos with extra beef and cheese ,and the $22 and $20 beef and chicken enchiladas. The drinks were OK at best and the food terrible. For the price point, we expected adequate sized portions, flavorful food, and a nice ambiance. Portions were small with very skimpy ingredients. Enchiladas tasted very bland and we felt ripped off by the up charges for extra sour cream and salsa. On the plus side, ambiance was very nice and our server was professional.

Great mexican food, quality tequila, good selection of mexican beer paired with excellent service.
