This gem is proof positive that not all ratings are fair or accurate. I don’t understand how this place has only 4.0 stars. We had an amazing time here.

Ah, Rocco’s Tacos! I recently had the pleasure of visiting their new location in Sarasota, Florida, and let me tell you, it was a fiesta for the senses!

The restaurant and the atmosphere was pleasing to the eyes. But ambiance and decor aside, the service was great. Jessica C. provided us with excellence in customer service. Her recommendations were on point and delicious. From the spicy mango margarita to the table side guac and the skirt steak with sweet potato, ALL OF HER RECOMMENDATIONS made you want to come back for more and tell friends and family to give Rocco Tacos a try. But if you decide to, be sure to make reservations. There wasn’t an empty table in the house. We will be back!

Had a lunch meeting with a Vendor (about 10 of us) Choked on what looked like a sand spur in my beans. Waitress got the manager on duty. He did take a report. Said HR would call me. Because they take this stuff seriously. No one ever called. So I called and spoke to the GM (Jamie I believe he said his name was). He got me over to the head cook. Which makes no sense. I just wanted to see what steps that they were taking to avoid this in the future. During this conversation, my cell phone dropped the signal. I tried to call back and was transferred to a voicemail.

We had a great experience at Rocco’s Tacos and Tequila Bar this weekend. The restaurant has a lively and festive vibe that makes you feel like you’re in Mexico. We ordered the guacamole, which was made fresh at our table with ripe avocados and spicy peppers. It was creamy and flavorful, and we devoured it with crispy tortilla chips.. The portions were generous and satisfying. Our server was attentive and helpful throughout our meal. We also enjoyed their signature margaritas, which were tangy and refreshing. We left feeling happy and full. Rocco’s Tacos is a great place to enjoy authentic Mexican food in a fun atmosphere. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

The service was very attentive & friendly! The drinks were AMAZING! Otherwise, I would probably give less stars if it weren’t for the service + drinks. Save your money when it comes to the food. It was all “ok” but nothing memorable. Would return for the fun environment & drinks alone.

I visited Rocco’s for the first time in Aug as I am new to the area and was quite impressed with the relaxing atmosphere coupled with a touch of class. We found a comfortable place at the bar where Carter, Elizabeth, Justin and Roger made sure that we were thoroughly taken care of. The food came within a few minutes, the $5 margarita Mondays were a hit for me and my guest, and the conversation with staff was enjoyable with plenty of laughs. If the management doesn’t give them a 15% raise, I might have to recruit them myself as the talent is well trained, hospitable, and very engaging. Kudos to the team for how this restaurant is ran, I will definitely be back next weekend with a group of friends.

Brand new Rocco’s Tacos in UTC. Ambiance is amazing. Food is delicious, with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Lots of mixed drinks and tequila. Super popular and very packed. Our wait for a table for 7 was an hour and 45 minutes. Definitely expect to wait. Overall great experience.
