Rolando's Restaurante

Queso fundido was worth the walk in 100+ degree heat.

Food was very good, although a bit overpriced for some items. The patio provided a nice atmosphere and beautiful scenery. Unfortunately our dinner was interrupted by 2 young boys running around and their dog coming over 3 separate times to beg at our table. While this is not a fault of the restaurant, at some point it would have been best for them to kindly ask the parents to leash the dog and request they keep the kids either at the table, or go with them when they got up to keep them from running and disturbing other patrons. A few other couples came up to the patio and asked staff to turn on the heaters next to their table, and were told they couldn't do that despite the temperature dropping quickly as the sun set.

I would say that this place is like a hidden gem. The food was delicious. They have a heated dog friendly patio (extra points) with decorative string lights. It was a very pleasant dinner.

Rolando's is one of my favorite places downtown. I love the tilapia, pickled cucumbers, and black beans and rice. Their tortilla soup is also delicious. Then the best part is the bananas foster. Yum! What a treat!

Food looks fancy but isn't all that at all. Quantity is good though. Price is incredibly high! Definitely not worth that price. I think people just come for the patio seating. The ambiance is nice in the patio. But the food is a disappointment. The drinks are good though. The service isn't the best. They do have live music on the weekend.
