Reviews
Over the course of 4 years of patronage Hot Rocks has continued to get worse and worse. Originally they were actually a pretty good choice. But over time they have managed to consistently screw up orders, take at least half an hour to take a sandwich out of the refrigerator, have apparently sold their microwave as burritos are consistently served cold, and have a coffee machine that ensures that 10% of any given cup of dark roast will be burnt grounds. And all of that is ignoring colleagues who have found cockroaches in their burritos (it was a whole one though, so don't worry), the ongoing joke that you should never order a panini (I hear some people are still waiting to this very day), and horribly rude wait staff (nothing beats hearing the cashier rant to the people behind the counter that you ONLY tipped her a dollar for an 8 dollar wrap...). And consistently having a dirty order slip resting on top of your burrito when they finally decide it has sit on the counter long enough that it might be warm enough to eat (it really isn't). And speaking of burritos, make sure you order yours without onions because the Hot Rocks way is to shove half an onion in there otherwise. Although, they have caught on to this trick and now just sell burritos that would look small if you pulled it out of a box in the freezer (and it is only marginally colder) I understand that this is Los Alamos and that we have much lower standards for service and even food quality. But Hot Rocks is one of those rare places (of which there are two...) that is genuinely bad by Los Alamos standards. Do yourself a favor and go to the cafeteria (which is actually surprisingly good) or take advantage of the fact that everyone else is at work and drive into town for a quick bite to eat.

Great little place to grab a cup of coffee or a quick bit to eat if you are working at the lab.

Good for coffee or informal lunch. Caters to Los Alamos National Laboratory crowd.
