I have never had a problem there. You really should not trash a man's business on the internet because you ordered items "off the menu", and neglected to ask the price. You know a burger and fries with a soda is under $6 @ Rocky's or Britannia Pub?
Here it is. I'll trash any somebitch that gives me an 18dollar bill for a friken burger off the damn menu....out
I feel for you Bryan. About $5.00 for a burger, coke and fries at Rocky's, about $6.00 at the Scandanavian Bar on the beach.
La Roca was one of my visits several years ago, food was just so-so, nothing special. What stood out was the final talley on the bill with tax and service. I went back a couple years later for the Friday night barbque. Now I know what happens to all out of date meat.

Actually you'll find all that for sale in the back of Club 59 @ 1 AM!
tambo' make funny
It's been ages since I ate there. Last time I ate in Sosua was the famous Rocky ribs which were excellent
but when I did last eat at La Roca the menu then had burgers on it. And prices. Can you remember Tambo if your menu had burgers on it?That's wild! How much for a burger and salad???? First of all, I would never order ANYTHING from a menu with no prices. First mistake. The first and only time I ever went to La Roca was when I came here to secure an apartment back before I moved here. We sat down at La Roca and were presented with (I guess) the "special menu" and it didn't have any prices on it. I was suspicious. Then I looked around and didn't see any other people eating there. Doubly suspicious. So I looked across the street and saw Morua Mai and I had no problem getting up and saying "no thank you, we changed our minds" and walking directly across the street. From that time, I've never even thought about going back to La Roca. And now that I am reading about the ribs, oh heck no, Rocky's is waiting for me!!!

And u paid it?????
Daaaamn....I wouldn't pay that!
Did you even complain or question the price at the time?
I haven't been to La Roca personally, but unless its some super high class fancy a$$ place...I would def. not pay that!
I'm heading to the Hilton Hotel in Toledo in about 1 week, and I've checked their room service menu. Their hamburgers are 18 euros plus taxes!!! (7%)
Then again I don't know if La Roca would compare to Hilton Room Service??:cheeky:
But I know for sure I won't be paying for a 18 Euro burger..lol..even if it's "gourmet"...

Sometimes, one has no choice.
I've been there, done that, where a waiter brought me a gigantic surprise bill.
What can you do?
You pay it begrudgingly and never go back.
If You Have "KIDS",or "Grand Kids", You take them to the Circus!
Pay "Whatever" it costs!
"Memories" are "priceless"!
Funny you should mention "Garlic Chicken",and "Ribs" at Rocky's. I just send a long time friend to Rocky's. I told him that he MUST have "Garlic Chicken" and "Ribs"!!!
They are only a distant memory for me.:ermm:

Yup, It's not a good feeling to overpay or feel that you've been scammed, and the only thing one can do other than not going back, is to do as the OP did, write about it on the net.
The following thread is not quite the same deal, as I actually found foreign objects in my meal, but the result was the same, when the waitress insisted that I pay for the meal just the same, so I did as the OP did and wrote about it on the net.

It gives one the chance to vent a bit, and maybe even get even, if others decide to not frequent the place in question, and maybe, just maybe, the owners will see the post and smarten up and not scam people in the future. (referring to AguaCerros)
Yuck! Yes, the internet is amazing and I'm sooo happy I happened to read this thread. I've eaten at Aguaceros several times. The first time, I had a turkey club sandwich which was really pretty tasty. That's why we went back a couple more times but the food seemed to have changed for the worse. Then one day I went with my cousin and his new bride for lunch and was quite disappointed with my food. I decided then and there, I'd never go back. But the last time took the cake. We went for dinner with another couple who had just gotten married and I ordered fish. It was awful and didn't feel like it was done (you know how it feels in your mouth when it's not cooked thoroughly?). Well I hardly ate any of it. NOW after reading this thread, I KNOW I'LL never eat there again. Even if someone invites me, I'll just have a Presidente and call it a day.
Next time you get a bill like that ask for the proprietor and tell him if insists on charging you inflated prices, that whenever you get back to the States that you will post your experience on a "well known" internet forum that is visited by thousand of international tourists who visit the DR every year and the word will get out quickly that the place is a ripoff and their business will surely suffer.
This may not be far from the truth, we had a poster here complaining about a business here in the DR and I made a call to the business on the poster's behalf. It turned out the owner of the business was quite upset that the aforementioned person(the poster) had posted a bad experience on the "internet" and it was all over the island, giving him bad publicity.
