I have been coming to Santa Teresa for 4 years. I do love Rocamar. If you're visiting for the first time, you have to eat here. the tacos are great, they have the best yucca fries in town. Owned by Tom Brady's personal chef, the food is top tier, however the prices have gotten a little out of hand but I think that's just a Santa Teresa thing. The location is unbeatable. It's a great location to watch the sunsets from. But my god, the service is ATROCIOUS. The servers are nice. They are super friendly. And no, it's not a language barrier. It's also not that the restaurant gets very busy. The service is just bad. It's so slow, the servers are typically congregating by the front talking to one another, they are pretty forgetful when it comes to asking for simple things like ketchup, napkins, utensils, etc. Once it comes to the point that you need to order 2 drinks at a time because service is really just that slow (when there's only 5 tables total), I mean, there just needs to be better training in place or something.

I recently visited a beachfront restaurant with stunning views, hoping for a memorable dining experience. The location is undoubtedly a highlight, offering breathtaking scenery that adds a unique charm to the place.
The service started off friendly and attentive, which made a positive first impression. However, the experience took a turn when we received the bill. The waitress asked if we wanted to add a tip, despite the menu clearly stating that a 10% service charge was already included.

As for the food, it was mediocre at best and definitely not worth the high prices. The flavors were underwhelming, and the dishes lacked the quality you’d expect for the cost. On a brighter note, the cocktails were delicious and well-prepared, which partially redeemed the experience.
Overall, while the location and drinks were fantastic, the food and awkward tipping situation left much to be desired. It’s a great spot for a drink by the sea, but I wouldn’t recommend it for...
Read moreSaw a few mixed reviews but my experience was very positive. I arrived at around 5 on a weekday and there were a few people there but it wasn’t too busy.
The place itself has a great atmosphere. Practically on the beach surrounded by greenery and very relaxed.
The staff were a highlight, service was quick and very friendly. They went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed and that everything was okay. They spoke both English and Spanish with ease.
The food was great. The fish tacos were amongst the best I’ve had and the yucca fries were new for me but delicious. I had the Alfajor ice cream sandwich to finish off and it was really lovely.
Definitely recommend checking it out. Great place to watch the sunset with some great food and I imagine it would be a fun place to have a relaxed lunch...
