"El Bar El Rocío es ese sitio donde siempre te reciben con una sonrisa. Ambiente de toda la vida, cañas bien tiradas y botellines helados, como nos gusta en Madrid. Y lo mejor: siempre te ponen unas tapas ricas que hacen que no quieras levantarte de la mesa. Un bar de confianza para venir con familia, amigos o para tomar algo rápido y quedarte un rato más."
