Latino Joes - Rochester

Me and my partner visited here this evening 7/9/19, and it was just an incredible restaurant, the staff are lovely, the food was the absolute best we’ve ever tased, was very clean and inviting place to eat, BEST FOOD EVER!!!!!!!!!

I 'm not sure where to start with this place. We booked a table for 5 upon arrival were put on a table for 4 and squashed together. Our drinks orders were taken after 30 minutes. A man came over 20 minutes later with drinks which we hadn 't ordered and insisted they were ours. When we did get our drinks they were abysmal mostly with no taste and VERY watered down. None of the cocktails tasted liked they had any alcohol in at all. The same man then asked us which table number this was! He didn 't have a clue. We asked to be moved as there was no way we could eat around such a small table. We were put out the back in a dark corner with no lights. After waiting over an hour an a hour with still no sign of starters we asked where our food was. Food arrived cold 1 sea bass was ordered and the waiter asked who had ordered a sea bird to which he met much confusion from us. The food was inedible McDonalds burgers were much tastier than these. No sauce so condiments nothing offered. We asked for the bill as we wanted to leave this is where the real trouble started. We called over an older man who appeared to be the manager and explained our problems who said he would sort our the bill. He then send over the other man from before. The bill was not ours he said I have taken £50 off and we only had to pay £75!!!!! For 3 burgers and 1 round of drinks 2 of which were soft drinks and 1 drink had been sent back. The bill had desserts and beer again we explained this is not our bill. This man went absolutely crazy stating he didn 't care and if we get our calculators out he would add it up again we asked for the bill. He was told the food was inedible and the service was so poor. He told 1 member of the party to shut up and shw had a wild mouth!!! Repeating himself screaming and shouting and being very aggressive and confrontational. 1 member of our party then threatened to call the police to which the older manager came over and told him to go away. We were all in dismay at what was unfolding. He apologised and told us everything was complimentary and to leave. Please do not waste your time and money going to this place. The poor girl waitressing was on her own and told us the bar man has just walked out which was no surprises really. We are in total shock as to how the night unfolded and it completely ruined our evening out. Please avoid this place especially if your a group of women!

Visited here for the first time last night. My first impressions were quite good as a venue itself. I ordered piri piri chicken with pineapple and when my food came out there was no pineapple in sight and definitely no piri piri. I got a microwaved rubbery, plain chicken breast with a cheese slice on top, wilted salad and chips. I then called the waitress to ask her if I had been given the right dish and she said I had. I explained about the pineapple and she went off to the kitchen, came back and said the chef had no pineapple! The cocktails were nice but the food, considering the price was very very disappointing. Based on my first impressions, I will not be returning.

Resturant is huge and due to special event going on town there was a set menu. It was quite highly priced for what it was. For example 4 jalapeno poppers for £5.95 and were of poor quality. We also had chilli and the fajitas ans portions were small,yet tasty. There was no kids menu either!! Deco was poor with a sploge of chewing gum by a poster on the wall ans the toilet not well keot and the toilet roll dispwnser hanging off wall in pieces. Bearing in mind it was a busy event day in the town resturant was empty for lunch time. I will not be returning

Went with a large group of people and had the £20.95 party menu, which incorporated a free shot of tequila, mixed starters including ribs and potato croquettes and a sizable main with fajitas/burritos/chips etc. The starter (with complimentary nachos and dips) was great quality, the meat just fell off of the bones, excellent, and everything else was great. For mains, the fajitas were excellent, very generous portions and everything was cooked to perfection. The chips and tequila was initially forgotten but the staff were quick to react and couldn't have been more friendly/apologetic. The atmosphere was really good, the staff make a real effort and had no problem bringing out a birthday cake and that.The cocktails were also of a really high standard, the mojitos were excellent. Overall, very, very good, a hidden gem and an excellent array of food for just £20.95. Very relaxed, fun and enjoyable, recommended.
