Rocio's Mexican Kitchen — Restaurant in Bell Gardens

If you're on the hunt for the best Mexican brunch in town, Rocio’s Mexican Kitchen is the place. I’ve been to my fair share of brunch spots, but nothing compares to the vibrant flavors, warm hospitality, and authentic experience you get here.

First off, the food is absolutely phenomenal. Rocio has a way of turning traditional Mexican dishes into elevated culinary art. Every plate is thoughtfully crafted, full of bold flavors and fresh ingredients that honor Mexican heritage while adding her own signature twist. The chilaquiles verdes? Hands down the best I’ve ever had—crispy, tangy, and topped with the perfect amount of crema and queso fresco. The mole poblano is another standout. It’s rich, complex, and clearly made with care (and love). You can tell the recipes come from generations of tradition.

But brunch here isn’t just about the food—it’s the whole experience. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, filled with the aroma of freshly made tortillas and simmering salsas. The service is always warm and attentive, making you feel like part of the family from the moment you walk in.

Don't even get me started on the agua frescas and café de olla—they’re the perfect complements to the meal. And if you’re lucky enough to catch one of their weekend specials or seasonal dishes, do not hesitate. Rocio always surprises with something incredible and unique.

Whether you're going with family, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself to a solo brunch, Rocio’s is one of those places that stays with you. It’s not just the best Mexican brunch spot around—it’s a culinary gem that deserves all the...

We notice it was highly recommended by a renown gourmet website. We were totally blown away. The chips brought to the table were topped with a light drizzling of molé and some pipian. The chips and its toppings were really telling us we were in for an unforgettable eating experience. We started with Queso fundido with chorizo. It came with hand made corn tortillas. The chorizo comes cut in bit-size chucks, not the crumbly pan dripping you get at most places. We enjoyed it very much. The cheese and the chorizo were flavorful. For our main course, we ate tacos de chapulines (grasshoppers), taco feos (ugly) and an empanada plater. My teenagers loved the grasshopper taco. I ate two of them. Absolutely delicious. The tacos feos are a chicken taco with some molé manchamanteles over them. It also has a pineapple slice and small slices of fried plantain in the taco. It was a flavor explosion. The empanadas were crispy and flavorful. I ordered some extra molé manchamanteles to dip them in and that took them over the top. We highly recommend you try the platanos in tequila. It beautifully presented on a plate with strawberry garnish. The bananas were slighly carmelize and topped with a flavorful cream topping. You could take the hint of tequila in the topping. We loved it. We even took some molé home. This is Mexican food its truest form. You could tell it was cooked the love and respect for the customer. We will...

i have a few recommendations, to hire more staff there's only one cook and one server she's about 7 or 8 month's pregnant and can't move fast enough,she needs someone there to help her she's the one that takes the orders,serves the drinks,takes the food orders to the tables and take in mind that's inside and the outdoor sitting aswell,she picks up dirty dishes, cleans the tables and is the cashier aswell.she forgot to bring 2 drinks to two people in my table they didn't get there drinks until they finished eating and that's because they got up and asked for it again. Poor lady i hope the owner is paying her enough to do multiple roles at this establishment! And one thing that i didn't notice until we were leaving is the cook doesn't wear a mask or gloves!! I saw him cooking scramble egg on the grill and fixing it making sure it stayed together with his hand Are you kidding me.plus no one sanitizes the menus after the customers use them on...
