Reviews - Rocket Cafe
Reviews summary
The Rocket Café presents a charming atmosphere with attentive staff, but opinions on the food are varied. While some rave about the outstanding Mexican and Italian dishes, recommending the pizza and chili, others are left disappointed by bland offerings like lasagna and overcooked spaghetti. Service has received both praise and criticism, with experiences ranging from friendly and attentive to frustratingly slow. Despite the inconsistent culinary experience, the owner's hands-on approach and the café's welcoming vibe keep loyal patrons returning. Just be cautious of tight parking during peak hours! Overall, the café is a mixed but memorable dining option in town.

In Gallup from Albuquerque and decided to try them because of their pizza reviews...we were NOT disappointed. The service was excellent... I haven't seen so many happy employees in one place, and our young server was genuinely kind! Our pizza was fantastic and the veggies on our pizza were fresh, not canned. I highly recommend this place. Thank you, Rocket Cafe, for one of the most pleasant dining experiences we've had in years! And two the young girl who served the two volleyball parents...thank you for your sweet smile and genuine happiness.
Dining here is always a delightful experience! The Mexican cuisine is outstanding, and the Italian options are equally impressive. Be sure to try the pizza—it’s some of the best you’ll find! Their chili, whether red or green, is full of flavor and absolutely worth the price. They also serve the best fried mushrooms in the city. The customer service is top-notch; the staff consistently checks on your drinks and is always ready to assist with anything you need. Just a heads up: parking can be a bit tricky, as some customers don’t park properly in the assigned spaces, making it challenging to find a spot without risking damage to your vehicle, especially during busy times. This restaurant is one of our family favorites whenever we're in town. Highly recommend!
The lounge is nice, and a very hospitable environment. However the restaurant is alright, some food is good but do not get the lasagna! They served me a flat lasagna piece, the pasta was hard the sauce on top was bland and the whole dish just was not lasagna. I received what was equivalent of a pasta pancake covered in tomato sauce.
The staff is always friendly. While the food and service can be a bit pricey, the large portions make it worth it. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy a meal.
This is a jewel that visitors don't find. Come on, it's great. We started at the casino that thinks Covid-Luckdowns are still valid so we are out.

This time around I had breakfast. Had the Spanish omlette which was good and filling. Be advised that they use fresh jalapeños, so it has some bite. As usual, staff was very friendly and courteous. Very affordable breakfast.
Steak is not good over cooked really charred and charged me extra for one chicken enchilada 4 dollars Mexican food isn't good here suggest Genaro's or panz for Mexican food stick w the American food here
