   Made reservations via open table for 6, ended up being 5 of us & we were 5-minutes late due to finding a parking space. International mall is always busy and parking is tough near restaurant row. The hostess was understanding, kind and friendly. She seated us immediately and menus were already on the table. Our server Ron was a rock star. Introduced himself explained the menu to the 1st time diners and asked us for our beverage order. He brought us water without having to ask and recommended the guacamole and queso combo & it was excellent! No regrets!! We had the appropriate amount of time between our appetizers and meal. We never had to ask for refills and Ron provided excellent customer service. We were able to enjoy conversation without it being too loud. We never felt rushed! The restaurant is uniquely decorated and gives a low light comfortable vibe. Highly recommend checking Rocco's out! Patio seating is available, outside bar is delightful, but inside has a separate bar that is lovely too.

   Always a pleasure to dine at Rocco’s. We requested our favorite server Tyler and she is so on the ball! Takes very good care of us and our special diet requests. The fresh guacamole is the best, and it’s made to order so we can avoid what we can’t eat. Love the rotisserie chicken too. We return because we feel appreciated by the staff, along with great quality food.

   Went for taco Tuesday and ordered two shrimp tacos. What I received was two pieces of shrimp and pickled onions on a hard shell. Very disappointed in the quality of the food. In addition, 2 drinks, tacos, quesadillas and queso cost $84. Definitely not worth the money. This place has deteriorated and I won’t be going back.

   Horrible servicio. Pesima Fui mos atendido por Emily ,pedidos nuestras bebidas que fueron traidas aproximadamente 15 min despues,pedimos guacamole y ships y llego primero que las bebidas,mi esposa le pidio las servilletas porque no las habia puesto y dijo que las traeria pero no ocurrio,llego mi pedido y aun no contaba con servilletas y mucho menos con los cubiertos ni tampoco con el pedido de mi esposa,tuve mi plato aproximadamente frente a mi 20min el cual no pude probar y claramente se enfrio aun asi, Emily vino a preguntar si todo estaba bien, en ese momento decidimos pedir la cuenta de las bebidas y del guacamole.

   First off, I have to commend our server, Jazmine!  She was fantastic and made our dining experience great! She made wonderful suggestions from the menu for my friend who was a first time diner at Rocco‘s tacos. We had margaritas and the table side guacamole, which were delicious. So were the birria tacos. I would highly recommend this restaurant and ask for Jazmine!

   We loved our dining experience. Our server, Chrissy, was so thoughtful and helpful. We will return and request her section! The music was a tad loud for a 4:30 seating. It was hard to hear our party talk at times. Overall a great experience!

    I loved Rocco’s Tacos! I set up a reservation beforehand, it was quick and easy. I didn’t have to wait at all. Our waitress was amazing and attentive with an amazing attitude. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is delicious. It can be on the pricey side, however, I feel like overall it’s worth it. And they do military discounts, which is a plus!
