Rocco's Tacos & Tequila Bar

The pork taco was probably the best taco I’ve ever eaten in my life. We had the strawberry basil margarita which was just average and the añejo old-fashioned which was perfectly made and tasty. The birria tacos were good, not the best we’ve ever had but definitely not the worst. The worst part of the meal was the elote. When I say it was bad, it’s an understatement. The corn ears were tasteless and that wouldn’t have been so bad if there was anything on it but a couple flecks of cheese and literally a few granules of tajin on one square inch of the corn. It was absolutely not dressed properly. I didn’t know it was even possible to mess up elotes but Rocco’s Tacos succeeded. Such a disappointment but the rest of the meal made up for it and the service was also very good.

Rocco’s definitely won me over for the music that was playing the night i decided to drop in and get a bite to eat. We sat at the bar, our waitress/bartender was good. Nothing exceptional but not disappointing like a lot of other bartenders especially when you aren’t a drinker…. But I always tip heavy because I don’t drink. The pulled chicken nachos were fantastic. Now let’s talk about tacos, I had the two tacos, steak and blackened fish. Both were the size of my fist, pretty bland and way overpriced. They should think about renaming their restaurant to Rocco’s Nacho & Tequila bar. Let Taco Bell claim the tacos. I’ll try again but I’ll stay away from tacos!

When I first walked in to restaurant the hostess was a bit out of it. I was not taken care promptly, she was unprofessional, and she pretty much looked confused on what her shift was supposed to look like with her servers on shift. My waiter on the other hand was friendly, informative, and kind. The atmosphere at restaurant is absolutely stunning, food prices are a bit high for Mexican food, but the flavor was absolutely delicious. I will give Rocco's Tacos another try, but I better get it impressed with good customer service, or I will never come back and will be disappointed once again.

Great location at International mall in Tampa, Florida. The location is nice, dining outdoors was a nice experience and the staff and waitress are super friendly. The food was delicious, fresh, & great quality. I certainly recommend the fish tacos. I also enjoyed the unlimited tacos for $27. The margaritas I highly recommend as well. Overall I had a great time.
