    Our reservation was 6:30. I made the reservation days ago. There were 3 adults and a 50 lb child. We were taken to our table which was squeezed in between 2 occupied tables. My 50 lb daughter could not even get into a chair so how do you think my 6 ft son did? It was impossible and we refused the table. This was our first time at this restaurant and pretty sure our last. Very upsetting because it was something special for our daughter. We left and went to another restaurant and accommodated very nicely.

    WOW! Love this place! Food selection is great, service was top-notch (thank you Ian) and seating was wonderful. The interior of the restaurant is lovely with beatutiful gold hue lighting. Ambiance inside the restaurant was nice enough without the added bonus of the Christmas light show from the UTC mall area. Not very many places you can eat outside on a November evening!! We were running late for our reservation due to the late start of the circus we attended prior but a phone call to Jocelyn fixed our time and we were seateed within five minutes of arriving 25 minutes late for our original reservation! Ian was very attentive and one of the best servers we've encountered in a long while. Manager even stopped by!! The restaurant is the complete package from reservation to check payment!!

We pride ourselves on providing a complete dining experience from start to finish, and it's heartening to know that we succeeded with your visit.

    There was actually three in our party.. open porch sitting was nice but overpowered by loud music from the christmas tree turnabout coupled with Rocco's own piped music. Too noisy and energetic is not the right adjective. Customers were forced to overtalk the music..then $75.00 quite disappointing for guac, 6 drinks, 5 tacos, rice and beans. Margarita Monday was the bright spot in what was a rather manic monday din din. did it once and now done** Takeout only.

    Great atmosphere! Very festive, particularly during the Christmas season! We were seated on the outdoor patio, right across from the large Christmas tree on Cattleman; hard to beat that😉. Our server, Caitlin, was great; the food was very good. I had the most amazing white sangria of my life!😉 The only negative was that my salad came long after the other meals were delivered to the table; however, Caitlin offered to take it off of our bill. She also offered a dessert, on the house. Churros were amazing! Overall, a fun place to spend the evening, and the food was solid.

    Rocco's Tacos - SarasotaResponded on November 24, 2023

    We're thrilled that you had great service from Caitlin and that you enjoyed your meals and the white sangria. While we apologize for the delay with your salad, we're glad Caitlin was able to make amends by offering to remove it from your bill and providing complimentary churros for dessert. Thank you for choosing to dine with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another fun evening in the future. Cheers, Rocco

    Just not for us- the patio was leaking due to the weather and when we moved to a less watery table it was very drafty. The food was high in sugar and high in price. The restaurant is situated right next to a roundabout by the mall and the music coordinated with the holiday lighting display was a bit overwhelming.

    The tacos were disappointingly dry and bland. With the word taco in the name of the restaurant, I expected to be wowed. I was very underwhelmed. They were almost inedible. The pork enchiladas tasted like cinnamon. And I have never had to pay for tortilla chips and salsa at a Mexican food restaurant. Overall, very disappointed. We won’t be back.

    Food was good , service was so slow we waited for a while for our waitress to give us service, never came back to ask how our food was , no refill I had to ask someone else for a drink . Total time in the restaurant was over one hour and thirty minutes. !! So ridiculous.

    I had the Tradicional, carnitas tacos. Carnitas pork is supposed to have a crispy layer over moist, pulled pork. The meat was totally dry, no moisture whatsoever. To boot, it was served without any sauces, salsa, Pico, and no rice ir beans. Mildly disappointed having been to Mexico many, many times enjoying street tacos there.

    Food was good, service was good, margarita was good. Unfortunately this inside of the restaurant is almost unbearably warm. Not sure if the AC isn’t working or if it just can’t keep up. I did notice some portable units.
