    Enormous steak tacos, not really in a good way
    Nicole S.

    Not stand out. Not at all. Baja fish tacos tasted like Gordon's from Walmart's freezer. The steak tacos had so much crap on them and HUGE chunks of steak. Nobody wants a taco with beef tips, please. The tacos de pescado, different from Baja Fish. Those being from California. Anyway back to the "other" fish taco. It came out like a slab o' fish balancing on top of everything else in the tortilla. Didn't look appealing. The guacamole is bad. Like, get a tub of preservative full at Sam's and slather it on. No. Please don't. I'd be interested to see what kind of tableside guac you'd get for the appetizer? Maybe it was made today rather than 3 wks ago? It was that bad. You could taste the store-bought-ness. Smash a damn avocado, sprinkle in some salt and garlic and that is HEAPS better than this was. Solid A ++ on the chips & salsa. Best thing they serve.

    Chicken Taco

    My boyfriend and I tried Rockin Tacos on Cinco de Mayo. Overall, the service was fast, but it felt very rushed because I know they were trying to get people in and out. We were here a total of 45 minutes (if that). The service was fast but very unpersonable. I ordered the chicken tacos and they were just alright. My boyfriend ordered the lobster tacos and loved them! Price is reasonable for everything we got. We both ordered the house margarita and I'm convinced there is 0 tequila in the drink - I have felt that has happened at every restaurant The Crab Trap owns (including Al's and Rockin Tacos). We had to order individual shots to pour in the margarita (extra $20). Wouldn't come back because it's nothing special.

    Tuna Tacos and Mexican Street Corn
    Rita G.

    One of the best skinny Margaritas that I ever had. Fresh and delicious yellow fin tuna tacos with crunchy coleslaw. They let you substitute the sides. I tried the street corn and their side salad both yummy. Music at lunch time was a great touch plus lovely views of the ocean from the balcony . Great friendly servers. We actually went there two days in a row.

    Island Water Bucket and Queso

    We went to watch the sunset while having a drink. The outside seating was slightly too close for anyone larger than a ten. The lighting was just right to see the beach during sunset with the ocean breeze keeping you cool. They were extremely busy yet our server made sure to check in several times even though we only had an Island Water bucket and queso. The food we saw being served looked incredible.

    Great view, great margaritas, and great company -- it doesn't get much better than this. The food was really good, the service was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere made for a great experience. I would definitely come back again.

    Mango peach mojito
    Abby T.

    By far the best tacos I've ever had! I am saddened that I can't have them again as we were just visiting Florida. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. The flavor was out of this world! They pack the tacos with meat, two is plenty. We shared the gator and shrimp tacos, the shrimp was my favorite but the gator was good too! Both cooked perfectly and paired well with the sauce. We also shared the avocado fries, fried perfectly and the dipping sauce was divine. I got the mango peach mojito, my two favorite things mangos and mojitos. It was strong, sweet and minty. I was delighted with it. Great views but even better food! 10 out of 10 recommended stopping here, it will not disappoint.

    Rockin Taco is all about the experience. And they are doing their best to make it exceptional. This was my first time to visit Rockin Tacos. Some of the things that I loved: 1. The bartender remembered talking to us at another bar that he worked at, and he even remembered our names. 2. There were seats available at the bar while we waited for our table. 3. There was a QR code that you could use to join an online trivia game while you waited for your table. 4. They have a nice outside deck that overlooks the ocean. 5. The manager came over and talked to us and wanted to make sure we had a great experience! The food was also really good. My husband and I split the chicken fajita platter, and it was plenty of food for both of us. My only complaint is that I wished they had complimentary chips and salsa like other restaurants.

    Tasty with a hint of salt air. The food was fantastic. I sat at the bar and after chatting with Chase, I got the Gator Taco's, wow so good. I also got a jalapeno margarita and boy did he know how to make that, nice and fresh. Throughout the meal he checked in on me just enough to not be overbearing. The only concern I have, they really can't do anything about. The location is on the second floor of the building, with windows that open to the outside, over looking the beach and Gulf of Mexico. Due to that, everything had a fresh layer of beach haze on it. The glasses hanging, while they didn't look clean, they were, but they rinsed them before putting drinks in them. Sadly, due to the location and Mother Nature, that's really something they can't control. However, the next time I'm in town, I know where I'll be dining!

    Nobody is born a Professional Taco Connoisseur. You're made, usually somewhere off a highway,…read moresomewhere ugly, somewhere you weren't planning to stop. I rolled into Florida hungry, running on fumes, and pulled over at a taqueria that had exactly zero interest in impressing me from the parking lot. Which is, of course, always a good sign. The service was quick. The people were kind. The place was clean, and I say that as someone who has knowingly eaten tacos in questionable places. The menu was unapologetically Mexican, but it wouldn't scare off anyone who's discovering it for the first time. We got carne asada tacos. A pork tamale. A torta Hawaiiana. All of it landed well above the line, but the tamale. That tamale might have been the best I've ever had, and I don't say that lightly. Masa that knew what it was doing. And the salsa bar wasn't an afterthought; it was an invitation to escalate things, and we accepted. Stop by and enjoy the tacos here, you won't regret it.

Taqueria Mi Gent has all the traditional Mexican dishes and did I mention all fresh ingredients? I've been to many taquerias and Mi Gente is one of the great ones. Any taqueria that embraces a fresh salsa bar is where it's at. Several types of salsas with varying heat and flavor levels compliments each dish perfectly. Generous portions and reasonable prices also keep your belly full and won't hurt your wallet. Highly recommend Taqueria Mi Gente. I bought a burrito to catch a flight and was delicious at 30,000 while watching a movie headed home. This is my new spot and heading back to Florida soon. Service was great and very patient in answering questions about the menu or anything else you want to know about their delicious food. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

Unfortunately, the customer service completely ruined it. I saw my waiter maybe four times during the entire 45 minutes I was there: when he brought my water, took my order, brought my CORRECT order, and then finally walked by 10-15 minutes after I had finished eating. I actually had to ask another employee to find him because I was sitting with the wrong food for about 10 minutes. In the end, I had to flag him down just to get my check and a to-go box. The food was decent. The street corn was absolutely delicious, but my tacos barely had any toppings. I ordered water and never received a single refill the entire time I was there. It's disappointing because the ambiance and first impression gave me such high expectations. The restaurant is beautiful, but the service was so poor that I unfortunately won't be returning.
