Rocco's Tacos & Tequila Bar - Mexican Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Outstanding service and great food. Our server Patrick K Wes very nice and knowledgeable.

Rocco's Tacos celebrates the dead by waking them up, and Gomez Addams would feel right at home. This is a Day of the Dead party overlooking a man-made lagoon, where neon glows hot against the darker establishments around it and tiki torches wave you in toward an adventurous evening. Inside: spectacular lighting, creative fixtures, carved wooden masks, three bars (indoor, outdoor, and one that splits the difference). The seating is plentiful and so is the wall of sound. If you're hard of hearing or hoping for a long, quiet conversation, this is not your jam. If you're ready to lean into your party and raise your voice, you'll do just fine. The pumice guacamole bowls at every table all but order the tableside guac for you (we devoured what felt like two cups). House-made tortilla chips arrive with a house spice they politely refused to reveal. The tacos are the namesake and they deliver: my new honey-hot chicken strip tacos, topped with street corn, rival the best at Popeyes or Shake Shack, and Lesley's pork belly held its own. Three is a full meal; they don't skimp on filling. Keto fans can have any taco served in lettuce leaf, and I had two that way. Service was responsive if straightforward (not chipper, but these folks earn a break in a room this busy). 4.4 stars out of 5 It's hard to fault a restaurant for being loud when the noise is the point. A touch more warmth from the floor, and these craft tacos earn the half-star back. Want to nudge that score higher? Slip the service crew some of the kitchen's mojo, the food and environment are already throwing a party, the staff just needs to RSVP. read more

After several previous visits to Rocco's Tacos with consistently positive experiences, we left tonight feeling a bit underwhelmed. Our server, Kennedy, appeared to be relatively new, but after taking our order and bringing our waters, it felt as though our table of two was forgotten from there on out. Within about ten minutes of ordering, our appetizer was prepared and our entrées quickly arrived, but we still had not received our alcoholic beverages, refills on our waters, nor even utensils to eat the food we were served. We would have understood if she had simply been overwhelmed with other tables, but throughout our meal we watched her regularly attend to two neighboring tables, preparing tableside guacamole for both, without once checking on us as she passed by. Eventually, we noticed our drinks sitting at the bar pickup area while we were already eating our meals without utensils or beverages. At that point, we had to ask another staff member for assistance, who helped bring over nearly everything we were still waiting on. The food itself was excellent, and we continue to enjoy the lively atmosphere that has brought us back in the past. However, after spending nearly $100 on dinner and leaving a 20% gratuity, it was disappointing that the only time we felt prioritized was when Kennedy delivered our check promptly. In fact, she began to clear our table while we were still sitting there, finishing our drinks that had arrived so late. We hope for a better experience in the future. read more

The happy hour here is great. They offer great deals on drinks and appetizers. I ordered the jalapeño margarita, and it was so good. It had a great flavor with a perfect spicy kick to it. I also ordered the chicken enchiladas, which tasted amazing. I loved the cheese that it was topped with. Our server was good, but seemed a bit rushed at times. He was overall friendly, making sure that we were taken care of, but at times he seemed occupied with many other things. The ambiance was also very nice. It has a Mexican street vibe that perfectly fit the vibes of the restaurant. read more

Not the best customer service. Pretty slow and not caring. But the food and drinks were pretty good except the chicken fajitas. Little bit too bland and boring, also very very oily. I would not order this dish again. The best part - cocktails and the view! read more

Excellent place to go. The menu is massive, but not so massive you won't be able to make a choice. Just enough to have options. Service wise you will be happy. We ordered two different tacos and within five minutes they were being served. It was amazing. The table side guac is good but the medium is not spicy if you like spice. Drink wise, they make great margaritas. We tried several but they all were good. Price wise, you are going to pay but it is definitely worth it. Sit outside. The outside tables and bar are so worth it. The scenery is beautiful and you won't regret it. I recommend a table side guac and a marg! read more

It was a beautiful day, so we sat on the patio and enjoyed the gorgeous view of the water. The inside seats were also gorgeous to see the water and enjoy the ambience. We started with some guacamole and strawberry basil. Margarita, which was delicious. They do not bring you salsa unless you order it so I cannot comment on the salsa. My cousin and I ordered the fish tacos and Birria tacos and split them, they were both delicious. Definitely will go back here when we visit again. Our waitress was very helpful and picking the perfect margarita and food for our lunch. read more

This afternoon, my mom and I decided to get lunch at a place near Hollywood Studios. We decided to get lunch at Rocco's tacos tequila bar. This restaurant is located in the doctor Phillips area near the same strip that does the Publix as well as the 60 vines. , I got the watermelon margarita however, with the tequila in the margarita, I asked if I could get spicy tequila so I could do a spicy watermelon margarita. My margarita was $14. We also got the chips and salsa trio which was eat and my mom got a Coke Zero. Was great our server was really nice. She has yet to come over to the table, but she had a couple tables this afternoon. The food is really good here. I normally get the fajita for 36 with the steak on top of the heating pad with the onions and tomatoes . However, we just wanted a quick snack this afternoon and we did the chips and salsa. If you haven't been here, I definitely recommend it. I also recommend going maybe right when they start doing lunch or maybe around two or 3 o'clock normally after four they get really busy. read more

Amazing food and great vibes, you'll definitely be back for more. read more

Our food was good, and overall a 4* in terms of food. Our Mexican Cobb salad and our 2 tacos and rice and beans were very tasty. The portions were a little small though and it was pretty expensive for the amount of food you get. It was also pretty loud in the restaurant and the parking situation is a little tough to find spots since so many are reserved for valet. It has a neat decor and vibe on the interior though. Overall, food was a 4* and everything else was around a 3*, so we went with 3* overall, but this is definitely a high 3* or low 4* experience overall. read more

From Valet parking thru dessert - service was excellent. The place has a great vibe - with allegedly 300 tequila choices.

Definitely give Rocco's a try! read more

Unfortunately this missed the mark for me. I ordered the piñta mocktail was supposed to be Tiki Tonic Syrup, Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice, Pineapple Juice, Mint. It tasted like only pineapple juice and had a lot of ice. The quesadillas were soggy, they would flop open when going to take a bite. No flavor just bunch of spice. The chicken taco was decent but also not much flavor. It was pretty busy, and loud. I wouldn't returned, there's better Mexican places. read more

Had a nice visit with friends to this lively Mexican spot. Absolutely love the freshly made table-side guacamole. It's a must do. The queso is pretty good, but I like to add beef to it. The taco salad was good. Of course they have a huge full bar and tons of specialty cocktails. I recommend the margaritas with a tajin rim. They come in every flavor. The lava bowls are amazing and served bubbling hot. My favorite is the shrimp one. They have a pretty good happy hour offering so it's a great time to try them out. Restaurant is always clean and service is consistently good. They usually have music and a DJ on the weekends. I recommend and will return. read more

Overpriced for the quality. Gave it a try based on yelp ratings and being in the neighborhood. The host seated us quickly and our waiter came right over to take our orders. I went with a "roseberry "mocktail and ordered a shrimp burrito bowl as my entree. The drink was ok. The rosemary taste in it was a bit strong but it got better after I took the rosemary out. My burrito bowl was "eh". Not very tasty, yet very spicy. There seems to be a trend of making everything spicy to hide the lack of flavor behind the food. The plate was just pretty boring and didn't do anything. The elote corn on the other hand was pretty good and our waitress (Riley?) was kind and helpful. For the price, there are a lot of better Mexican spots that would even include more in their service for your money. Something as small as some chips and salsa on the table goes a long way. I won't be back. read more

I was so excited to try this restaurant, as it has gotten 3.8 stars out of 2.7K reviews. I was even more excited that they offer Molcajete, a delicious Mexican dish. What a disappointment the restaurant and the food was. They clearly don't know how to make a Molcajete. Start with the fact that they didn't put any cheese, a key ingredient of this dish, and it lacked the nopales. It came with 4 small flour tortillas that were oddly hard. I asked for beans and rice to make tacos, and each little ramekin of rice and beans was $5 each. I asked for more tortillas as I shared the Molcajete with my wife, and that was $2, and the chips and salsa were not complimentary, $8 for ordinary chips and salsa. The ambiance was one of a night club almost, very loud. I do not recommend this place at all read more

This place was such a staple for me when I lived in orlando. We got the mocalate bowl and it was delicious although too saucy. I'm not a fan of their queso at all, so I recommend the guacamole instead. read more

This place looks really awesome on the inside and out. But sadly the food was not the best... if you're from California and are used to that kind of Mexican food, you most likely won't care of this place. The tortilla soup tasted like chicken noodle without the noodle. The chicken wet burrito was a good portion size. The rice was yellow which was interesting... the flavor just wasn't what we were looking for in any of it. Same for the tacos. The salsa was alright. Our hostess, Jenna, was pretty great though! read more

This place has a sense of humor and I like that! It is well decorated on the inside and has a fun atmosphere. It was really really busy so the service was definitely slow and missed things like drink refills but she was super nice. I ordered the coconut water and a selection of tacos, camarones and carne asada with refried beans and rice. My food was great! Everything was cooked properly and seasoned well! The tableside fresh guacamole we ordered for the table was delicious as well. I heard mixed reviews about the food from the other guests at my table. They said the mojitos and margaritas were great! But the best part of all was definitely the lake view right behind the restaurant! read more

The food here was fantastic. The guacamole was made at the table so they could make it to your spice level. The queso fundido was melty and delicious but it had huge strips of inedible onion, which was odd. The drinks were my favorite party. The black diamond was a cherry margarita, it was the best thing I had. I do think it is overpriced, and they were only doing happy if you were physically at the bar so that was kind of false advertising. I ate the burrito bowl - it had so much food it easily made 2 meals. read more

Met a group of friends in time for happy hour on a Saturday. Opted to self-park rather than use the complimentary valet. With 3 bar tops to choose from, there's no problem ordering off the happy hour menu, which is only available at the bar. The bartender was bubbly as she happily served us. Her smile and energy were very welcoming. The place gets pretty busy. We had a reservation, and eventually went to our table after having apps and drinks at the bar. There's stimulating decor, with the unique, artsy light fixtures truly making a statement. As for the food, the tableside guacamole is a must. The freshness and superior taste makes you want more and more. The chips are nicely seasoned and sturdy for dipping. Our flautas were also delicious. My pork belly tacos were decent, but I'd probably go with something else next time. We had a nice experience. The margarita pitchers we ordered for the table took quite a while to arrive, but they were good. Overall, this isn't a place I'd frequent mainly because of the distance for me and regular busyness, but it was enjoyable as a special outing. read more

Katelynn made our visit to Rocco's Tacos exceptional! From the moment we sat down, she was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She had a great attitude, made excellent recommendations, and checked on us throughout the meal without ever being intrusive.

Thank you, Katelynn, for making our visit memorable--we'll definitely be back and hope to have you as our server again! read more

Our party of 4 arrived at around 8 on a Wednesday evening and we were told there was about a 30 minute wait for a table, though a few booths and tables appeared to be open. Service was very slow and spotty, and our drink orders took a very long time to be served (it was a simple order of 1 cocktail and 3 Coronas). The food was good, but this place charges more than it deserves to for both food and drink, especially considering one can get similar dishes in a truly authentic Mexican restaurant a few miles from here for less - and at the end of the day, Rocco's is located in a strip mall. Had service been better and our food and drink come in an acceptable time after ordering, those things alone would've earned this place another star. read more

First time visiting this restaurant and was very happy with the food and service. It's very bright with lots to look at. It was very loud with lots of families people enjoying themselves. There was a good mix of families and couples of all age groups. The food was really tasty. I hade the belly pork tacos and they were delicious. We'll definitely go back again. Our server, Christian, was very helpful and was able to change the orange mimosas to pineapple for me. He was really cheerful and even though it was busy he was very prompt at refilling drinks and checking up on us. read more

Probably deserves one star based on what they charge for their food, but it is perhaps the blandest tex-mex I have ever eaten in all of Orlando. First, the good, the queso and the house margaritas are light in a good way. The tortilla chips weren't fresh, but I also like the seasoning they dust them with. Also, the staff are friendly and attentive and you really can't hate on a water view from the bar just for pure reset value. I actually quite like the ambiance of the space even if I know it's a literal coin flip on quality. Now, the bad, almost nothing has flavor. The rice, might as well of been steamed white rice instead of mexican because there was no flavor only color. The black beans looked great, no flavor at all, no spices or flavors built into the beans like they came straight out of the can. I had the pork and steak taco platter and the steak was at least decent, but the pork was cold, fatty, and flavorless to the point not even pickled red onions could save them. Their "soft" corn tortillas taste like they came straight out of a bag. No warmth, no char from at least 30 seconds to a minute on the grill. Just the final nail in a coffin of bland. read more

So many people recommend this place to me. I have been to other locations (Fort Lauderdale )and wasnt really impressed with the food so I avoided it and to be honest, I still stand on that. I came with a friend to try to change my mind. I ordered fish tacos and the table side guac and once again was not impressed. My tacos were so greasy after 1 my stomach started hurting so I suffered through the night. The guac was just ok. My friend ordered the steak tacos and was underwhelmed. The views were nice, it was busy but the staff and service was quick and friendly , drinks were good but that never the issue. I still cant do their food. I know so many others who really enjoy this place so Id say try it and make your own decision, but for me it's a no unfortunately. read more
