"We ate here on an evening where many towns, including Camden, where we were staying, lost power during the rain storm on 9/16/23. Our hotel suggested we go to Rockland where they still had power, so we decided to swing by Rockland Cafe as they weren't too incredibly busy. My friend ordered a seafood chowder and salad while I had the fried whole clam basket. Food was OK we've both had better chowder and fried clams. But service was lackluster and inattentive. We had to call for service as well as our check in the end. No one ever came by asking if all was OK. They simply took your order and dropped off your food and that was it. What was very disturbing was watching our server, an older female brunette, eat in the kitchen and LICKING HER HANDS during her shift within view of her customers. She had her back to us, but we could see what was going on the kitchen. This is UNPROFESSIONAL. How about you take a break from your shift and then eat?? On top of this, she did NOT wash her hands afterwards but instead proceeded to touch plates of food and bring these said plates to her customers. Yuck!! We also witnessed the chef scratch his head while handling food. He too, did not wash his hands. And there was an older female blond server who wore her hair down. We think whenever you deal with food, hair should be tied up and kept back somehow so that hair does not get in people's food. The menu is nothing special pretty run of the mill offering a little of everything to try and satiate all palates. You can find most seafood plates offered here at all the restaurants in town and beyond in Midcoast Maine. Definitely consider sanitation and cleanliness before you dine here. The staff does not seem to take this seriously. Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2"

"First things first. My dad mom was Mexican and his father Spanish. The doing in the home was the best ever. I know what excellent carnitas taste like and perfection in the preparation. In search of the best tasting Mexican food near me and it being one of the last places to try, I discovered THE ABSOLUTE BEST! When we think of getting food out we usually just think if the food is good or not. I've been going there mostly on Friday nights for almost a year. This establishment is popular, it's busy, it's festive, it's authentic inside and holds its roots to its culture very well. Their is music and usually a little bit of a line. While I stand in line I'm able to observe the full operation. I realized that every single time I've gone in there I'm so very impressed at their operation. That being said not only is the food excellent but this establishment is a very well organized operation. I've been in line behind some rude guest and I've observed the employees responses. Absolutely professional! Great smiles I'm greeted with when it's my turn and when I leave. Then energy behind the service counter is impeccable. The multitasking by all individuals is far and beyond. Seriously, Instead of looking at my phone while waiting in line I like to access the establishments operational skills. This says a lot of one's business. I always order via door dash thank you door dash) and I go and pick up. I had thought that the to was always added on and this Friday after being handed my food I realized the tip was never there. Oh my! I made up for it. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT MY BURRITO OR TASKS OR FOOD! IT'S ABOUT THE HUMAN. IT'S ABOUT THE HUMANS DOING ALL THIS WORK ON A FRIDAY NIGHT SO I CAN GO BACK HOME AND WATCH MY FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIE WITH MY FOOD! NO! IT'S NOT! IT'S ABOUT THE HUMAN BEINGS AND OUR INTERACTIONS. All this said, it's also about the food. In my life people come first, animals, then food . I hope this is a good thank you for everything. Bless you all. I appreciate you and all your hard work."

"I ordered the "bistek a la poor" and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the dish when it arrived. Everything was simply delicious, especially the plantains! The steak was well-seasoned and delightful, and the white rice had exceptional flavor. My boyfriend ordered the ceviche mixto, and while he was initially disappointed that it was listed as an appetizer, he found the portion to be quite satisfying. By the time he finished, he felt content without overindulging. It does not come with chips or tostadas, which is what we're used to, but I asked for chips, and the cook explained that it is traditionally enjoyed without them, which is understandable given the different culinary customs. They did manage to serve some chips for him, though. I told my parents about this place, and they’re planning to check it out soon. The green salsa they provided reminded me of a creamy cilantro dressing (which I adore), but it had a different texture and a nice kick. I ended up taking the leftovers home because it was so good. I'm trying to lose weight and stick to a diet, but I might just have to sneak back for more of their food! I believe the older gentleman is the owner, and he occasionally came over to our table to check on us. I saw him helping out and serving food as well. The service was excellent, and the food was outstanding. You definitely get your money's worth, and your taste buds will definitely be delighted!"
