This was the worst ever. Food cold. The waitress needs to find a different job because she was horrible. I have always tip well even to bad for services but not this time.. I can not even put in word how bad it was.
Service was great. The staff members were very friendly. I can't say much for the food though. I had dinner there last Thursday July 22nd before going to the movies. Anywho I had the spaghetti it wasn't that great. It was bland and it didn't have zing in flavors. The pasta seemed like it was overcooked too soft. The pasta was not al dente. My date had the rocket burger he also didn't like his meal either. He said there was too much toppings for a small burger. Oh yes! we also ordered salsa and chips. The chips were okay. The salsa was too salty and not spicy enough. The Rocket Cafe is losing its touch. The food use to be great and it would hit the spot satisfing your stomach. I don't think I'll ever go back there again.
Was expecting meat to be warm, and at least extra salsa if no choice of dressing is given.
This time, I enjoyed breakfast at the restaurant. I ordered the Spanish Omelette, which was delicious and hearty. Just a heads up: they use fresh jalapeños in the omelette, so it has a nice kick. As always, the staff were warm and welcoming. Overall, it was a great breakfast!
The steak was overcooked and burnt, and they charged me an extra $4 for a chicken enchilada, which was disappointing. The Mexican food here isn't good, so I recommend trying Genaro's or Panz for better options. It's best to stick with the American dishes at this restaurant.
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.

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
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 wasfantastic and the veggies on our pizza were fresh, not canned. I highly recommend this place. Thank you, Rocket Cafe, for one ofthe most pleasant dining experiences we've had in years! And two the young girl who served the two volleyball parents...thankyou for your sweet smile and genuine happiness.
This is a gem that visitors don't find. Go it is great. We started at the Casino which thinks Covid lickdowns still apply so we walked out.
Always treated kindly here. Food and Service is great wings a lille pricey but over all great place to hang out and eat.
