Found this little place and I am so glad I did! The place is small but the food is amazing! I ordered chilaquiles with mole poblano and they were so good! I also got an agua fresca that was so refreshing. The service was FAST! Definitely worth the try. My husband go green chilaquiles that were also good and we ordered a waffle on the side 10/10

Great Food! Good portions... I come to this hidden gem every time I'm in town! I've tried just about everything on the menu. You won't be disappointed.

Everything I've had has been wonderful! Cucumber aquas, breakfast burrito, green cheese enchiladas, salmon, chilequiles. The service was pleasant, and the atmosphere, well the food makes up for anything else!!

Do yourself a favor and drive down and explore what true mole is supposed to taste like. Such an exclusive experience at this hidden gem. This Michelin recognized restaurant is something to be appreciated. The banana sopes are something out of a fairytale. The service was top notch. Ambiance a fine dining experience.

Small restaurant with huge impact. The dishes are so flavorful. Different types of mole, there's something for everyone. There are vegetarian dishes as well as pescatarian dishes. My favorite has been the salmon with squash blossom sauce. This dish is AMAZING. The exterior is colorful and a delightful little potpourri of color and art pieces that are mixed with Mexican flavor. There's a giant Catrina at the doorway to greet you. If you drive by, she's large enough to see from either side of Garfield. There is some outdoor seating and indoor seating. During hotter days the inside can be sweltering hot due to the small space. Service is great, the servers are super friendly and helpful with the menu or any questions. I've dined in and grabbed take out, every time the service is great whether it's over the phone or in person. There is a small parking lot on site, street parking is available.

I wish this place was closer to me. I'd go here at least once a week. I'd like to think this place has one of the best moles you can find here in the states. I order a mole dish whenever I see it at a Mexican restaurant and nothing comes close to Rocio's. They've perfected the art of mole - every mole they have on the menu tastes distinctive and the staff there knows exactly which one to choose out for you based on what you're looking for. Sweet, spicy, savory, rich, nutty, chocolatety, you name it. For one of my recent visits I decided to try a mole that I typically wouldn't go for and originally asked for chicken, but our server recommended I try Mahi Mahi with it. I was skeptical, because you never really see fish with mole. It's always chicken! But I took her rec and I'm so glad I did. The mole worked so well with the fish and they cooked the fish so juicy and tender too. Looking to find time at the end of the year to make another visit soon.

This neighborhood gem is known for their moles. That's how the menu works too. A good portion of the menu is where you choose they type of mole and then choose the protein to eat it with. There are some other items on the menu, but I think the moles have the spotlight. The restaurant itself is not large. It is cozy and comforting though. There is some seating on the inside and the outside. Also, as soon as I walked through the door, I was greeted by a really friendly person and seated right away. It was in the middle of the week and it super busy. Being my first time, I got the popular pick: the mole Oaxaqueno - the black mole and chose to put it on chile relleno. This also comes with some of their fresh fluffy tortillas. I also got a cucumber drink to wash it down (refreshing and delicious). I'm already a big fan of mole, but I have to say this might be some of the best mole I've ever had, if not the best. The flavors, the spices... all cohesive and well blended and prepared. The presentation of the dish itself was beautiful. I really enjoyed my meal here. I definitely would love to come back and try their different moles and protein combinations. Again, since this was the middle of the week, it seems parking was really easy to find in the provided lot or nearby on the street.

We went to Rocio's for a late lunch on a weekday. The restaurant has a small parking lot where parking was readily available. Interior is small with nice decor, very bright and cheerful with a nice ambience. There were only two parties dining in when we arrived, and we were seated immediately. We started off with complimentary tortilla chips, which were drizzled with several different mole sauces that we were able to sample. I ordered the Chicken Enmoladas (Enchiladas) with the Mole Oaxaqueno. It came with a side dish of rice and beans. JJ ordered the same thing but with Mole Poblano. Everything was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend both of these moles, both rich, flavorful and reminiscent of the best moles that I've had in Mexico and Oaxaca. We thoroughly enjoyed our plates, and most definitely will return. They also serve breakfast, which we'd love to try next time. Service was excellent--- very friendly and quick service. Overall great value for the quality and portion sizes served. Highly recommended! There is also a nice outdoor patio for dining.
