Marco's Bar in Rochford

The staff are really great, the place was busy but everything ran like clockwork and I couldn't fault anything at all. Food was delicious, with a great range on offer.

Great customer service especially from our waitress leah she told us was only her second shift, was very accommodating and polite, delicious food and a great atmosphere

Love Marcos. Went for a business networking event this time. I have been before with friends and it never disappoints. The garden out the back is lovely. Paella and the various sharing tapas are excellent.

Great on a summers evening in the garden. Food was lovely and staff very friendly.

Nothing authentic about this place, the food bore no resemblance to Tapas that is served in Spain. The only thing worth having on our order was the carrot cake which they admitted was bought in, even that was spoilt by them putting 'squirty' cream on the side of the plate. The service was indifferent and insensitive.

Spent pretty much every night in marcos, absolutely brilliant friendly staff ! live music every night followed by top notch dj till 2.30

Second Tipsy Tapas and the evening was even better. Food was amazing, and the staff were attentive, bubbly and genuinely enjoyed looking after all the guests👊 Thanks for a great time!!!!🍾😁🍾

Lovely place Great food Service was wonderful 5*

Great welcome as we arrived and very hospitable.The food was lovely.

Marco's Spanish Restaurant & Wine Bar ... Well we popped in today for the £15 3 course light lunch... Choose one starter,one main,one side and a desert for £15 per person ... Absolutely delicious.... Starts mains and side are a smaller portion of the main menu as our waitress explained at the start and then a choice of three deserts... The tastes of each dish were so well seasoned and flavoured... With just the right amount of spices and flavours... We will definitely be back at lunchtime soon. Thank you to Marcos and their amazing staff...

Marcos never lets you down the food and service is amazing , no matter what dish you select every single one is delicious and cooked to order, the staff can’t do enough for you and the setting/atmosphere is absolutely lovely,

Great food, nice staff. Good prices.

Fantastic to have a little bit of Spain in Rayleigh high street. Food is excellent and staff are very friendly.

Delicious paella (very authentic), with prawns and mussels tapas. Great service, friendly and efficient. The coffee could be improved, tasted like instant, and the bread, although tasty, was a bit bland.

A big favorite with anyone who's been there before, excellent food, lovely staff. You will be well looked after! If you love Tapas you MUST try it! I used to DJ at Marcos Bar, and if you would like a quote for a DJ & Photographer package I'll be pleased to hear from you.

Lovely food thank you staff were also lovely :)

Such a wonderful dinner again .. Came here for our anniversary tonight. Funny as we both thought of Marcos as we had such a good experience last time. Prawn dishes are a winner , especially the Coco and the sizzling. Staff were SO helpful , especially as my wife is on crutches right now. Great music and decir too. We will be back again for sure. Food was so amazing we'd eaten it all before I remembered to take a photo. Last mouth of delicious Drizzle cake in the pic !

Excellent food service and quality, went lunch time and had there choices of special lunch menu ,which is good value for money, definitely will go back .

Fabulous meal, lovely staff Great place!

My favourite 😍 place. Great food, team. Overall always a top meal and night (or afternoon) 🎉🥂👌 Recommend white sangria and Aubergine brie salsa bread 😋❤️

Lovely food and brilliant service

Excellent tapas lunch. Best restaurant by far

Love this bar even better since it was all refurbished Great staff obv good selection of Spanish beers & the tapas is excellent Always a lovely time in this bar would recommend it for a great day/night out

Really nice food and staff very helpful

As per usual great food and service for what was a party of 12.

A really enjoyable night…great place. Food was very nice and service was amazing (Sophie is a natural!). We will see you again

Great restaurant, top quality food and very friendly staff.

Went for lunch with friends. Lovely food, great service, reasonable prices.

Great mid week lunch deal, excellent value for the food on offer.

Great tapas. Staff were wonderful. Not cheap but worth the money

It was the second time my friend and I visited this place. Food and atmosphere, staff, owner and service all awesome they even fitted us in on a fully booked Saturday night with an impromptu visit. Cocktails are very good and prices reasonable. Lovely selection of tapas.... spot on. Love this place my fave in rayleigh bar none x

My first time experiencing tapas WOW Variety, great quality food , only negative some dishes have too much salt .Atmosphere lovely . Service was 1st class as the owner I would be very proud .

I'm giving it 5 stars because in these days of corporate chains of restaurants it's great to dine in a family owned and run restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere are second to none. I have eaten there a few times and have never been disappointed. I shall definitely be going back.

Attended a private function here. Staff were so attentive. Loved it.

The best Tapas by far. A firm favorite to visit.

Good food, great service kept the mango vodka overflowing all evening! Enjoyed themusic to listen to whilst eating and drinking for 3.5 hours as a couple. Love the different tastes with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. The pig cheeks are still a definite must mmm

We have been to Marcos a few times and have always loved it. We feel that recently the food has even improved and we love the paella and Sangria! Garden looks like it’s had a refurb too and really nice to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. Staff are always super friendly and attentive.

We had our wedding meal at Marco’s and it was everything we wished for. Pam (the owner) couldn’t have been more accommodating when we asked if they could cater for our guests of 20. Pam made everything seem like a pleasure to do for us, on the day, the service was superb as was the food, just fabulous. Highly recommend Marco’s for an event or just a lovely meal.

Can’t recommend this restaurant enough, great food and amazing service every time. Thanks for having us once again 👍👍

Always good tapas - and now love the newly renovated washrooms too 😜🤩🤩!! Happy 20th year Marcos - keep going!

We booked for the cheese and wine night to help celebrate Marco's 20th anniversary... Congratulations by the way🥂 Food was excellent and staff are fantastic. Will definitely be booking again.

Hadn't been for a while, why we don't know because there is absolutely nothing to fault and we will be regular visitors from today on! Atmosphere spot on, staff so friendly and professional, range and quality of food and drink was first class and such good value. We chose the lunch deal and weren't in the least dissapointed. Brilliant! Thanks Marcos 👍👍

As always food, atmosphere and service all top class.

Today had yet again a fantastic meal,all the dishes were so tender,sauces outstanding and where specified spicy, eye watering.The new toilets alone are worth a visit,I went 3 times so enjoyable,beat that.The staff so welcoming made our day.Forgot to mention the tasty lemon cake sweet, no good for my weight but at my age a little of what you fancy is ok.Thanks from jim & jen

Incredible food!!! Great atmosphere! Friendly staff! Definitely worth a visit! Authentic food !!..🩷

Had a bottomless brunch there. Couldn't ask for better service. The drinks were flowing.

First time, here, will not be our last. Food was amazing, service brilliant, atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable.

Lovely place and beautiful service and food. Took advantage of their lunch menu and was not disappointed. Good value for money and stunning food.

Consistently good with friendly and welcoming staff.

Excellent venue and great staff. I would recommend

We ate here and it was fantastic! The food was delicious and there was plenty of choice. The staff was great, I highly recommend going here!

Lovely staff and amazing tapas.

Amazing tapas and atmosphere ☺️✌🏼

Such a lovely restaurant offering outstanding food. Great friendly service. Highly recommend Marco's. Can not wait to return.

First time here and was impressed, especially as its not that expensive. Welcomed in at start, served decent food/portions and said goodbye to.

Seating a little cramped,other than that I would go back.

Great food and atmosphere and top staff

Really enjoyed it good food friendly staff.

We moved from rayleigh and we still go back there. Absoloutly amazing food. Smashing size portions. Chloe and Lauren are amazing as are the rest of the team. Love this place. And the sangria..... well let's say indint remember much. Xx thankyou alll

Amazing as always!!! Firm favourite!

Great little lunch menu and charming staff

A must visit Restaurant was excellent

My nephew loves this place, I am not so keen. Food for him is really good, I find it OK. Each to their own. Atmosphere is really nice, service was good and attentive.

All in all had a good experience will definitely be returning

Been to alot of places and ive never had a paella like it. Absolutely amazing. And thats what spanish food is about. From starters to desserts. Its really unbeleivable. Amazing.

Brilliant food and service, nice atmosphere, loved that the toilet signs were looking out for us. Hope to go back some time!

Staff are great! very nice place. paella is definitely for 2 people.😅 we went for the first time and everything was great.

Lovely date night venue. Excellent staff, service and food. Be sure to attend when you're hungry though, the food is lovely and filling.

Lovely food, very nice staff & fantastic 80's music was a great nite 👌🏼 will definitely go back

Great little restaurant, went tonight for the first time on a recommendation, staff were awesome especially Dillon. Yes you do have to wait a while as the food is cooked fresh to order but it's well worth the wait. Will defiantly go again. AAAA++++

Lovely food, good value. Excellent service

Marco's is, quite simply, our favourite restaurant. Not just favourite tapas restaurant, but our favourite restaurant in general. The food is absolutely incredible - so tasty and all tastes fresh. The service is very good as well, all staff are polite, attentive and knowledgeable. A stocked bar means you can have whatever drink you want. We have never returned to a restaurant as much as we have here. Dishes are 50-70p more each than another tapas place we visited but it's still very good value for money when you consider the quality of food, drink, service and dining experience you will get at Marco's. A 'must visit' as far as we are concerned!

Great ambiance and excellent staff. Paella also very good

Amazing dinner at Marco's Tapas. Food was all delicious and great service. So good having this restaurant down our high st!

Wow what a beautiful lunch menu, very generous and tasty also the lovely and funny lady that waited on us made the experience even greater.

Fantastic food and staff were friendly as always, the best tapas food around

First visit to Marco's bar and we loved it. Buzzing with life, staff very friendly and the food was excellent. Lots of choice too.

Friendly staff, loved the ambience and the set menu was so tasty and filling to share with group of friends. The food was not disappointing at all enjoyed every bit of it.

Waited ages for food and food was not authentic. Originally, we planned to select our own food for the party and turned down the offer for them to arrange it. However, when we arrived food was already selected. The majority of which was bread based. It was disappointing not being able to order what we wanted.

Visited on Friday evening. What a great place! Very welcoming and the food was perfectly portioned and lovely. All the staff were very friendly and very attentive. Price was very reasonable and we will definitely be coming back soon. 👍🏻

Great place reasonable priced great staff, would recommend

Great food and friendly staff can't wait to go back

Friendly staff. Food not great, poor value for money.

Amazing service, lady with blonde curly hair served us and was nothing but amazing! Will definitely be coming back as this place is like a home from home!!

A great place to eat and drink or just for a drink and not expensive

Absolutely delicious food ❤ Freindly, good service & clean

Great pealla and lovely atmosphere

We went here to eat and had tapas, which I have to say was the best I,d tasted. The portions were generous and tasty. Staff were friendly, would definitely go back again

Love this place, cocktails are great, foods always good and the staff are always friendly. Family run and it reflects in the experience.

Lunchtimes, the service is friendly and efficient but not pushy. Nice relaxed atmosphere. The food is excellent - expect to order a selection of small, tapas style dishes. Ideal accompanied by a jug of sangria. We have never visited in the evening so cannot comment on this.

Good value lunch menu. Friendly staff.

Delicious food, great service and wonderful value for your money

We had a lovely meal here mid week, good atmosphere and attentive staff. Very welcoming. The tables are a little cosy next to your fellow diners, and are never big enough for all the dishes ..... or do I order too much🤔🤦‍♂️

what an amazing place to eat and drink the staff are polite and take detail to customers needs. the food is out of this world.

Great place with lovely owner, see you soon marco

Excellent restaurant, staff are always friendly and happy. Such a great atmosphere in there. Food is delicious. Can't wait to come back.

Food fantastic, staff amazing, recommend to anyone.

Absolutely amazing. Love the garden area. It's like a little hidden paradise in the heart of Rayleigh

Friendly tapas restaurant and bar.

It was dirty and evil. I adored it. Massive portions and purely delicious.
