    Our server Priscilla was lovely. She was patient and helpful and very knowledgeable of the menu. That always makes a dining experience so much better. We were celebrating My Sons 30th birthday and had a really nice time. The food was delicious, and very fresh, service was quick, but not rushed. Margaritas were great. Every entrée and appetizer was delicious. Presentation was nice. The only thing I would change was the Birria tacos served on that wood tray, the wood was really rough and splintered and the bathroom was a hot mess and sinks were clogged. Honestly, we had a great time. We ordered extra entrées to bring home. We will definitely be back very soon. 100% recommend

    I am not a fan of the style of Mexican food. The Austin Queso is nothing like any queso I’ve ever eaten in Austin or Texas. It was chunky rather than smooth like Tex-mex queso. My son did enjoy his street tacos with pork.
    Rocco's Tacos - SarasotaResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that our style of Mexican food wasn’t to your preference, especially the Austin Queso. We appreciate your perspective and will share your thoughts with our team. We're glad to know your son enjoyed his pork street tacos! We hope you'll consider giving us another try in the future—there’s always something new to explore on the menu.

    it was coolish but we sat outside near one of many tall heaters that made it just right- our waiter was very attentive & made a great guacamole at the table. we ordered enchiladas dinners & asked that he give us time to relax with our drinks &guacamole, he said no problem - it was timed perfectly- towards the end of dinner he was making guacamole at 2 other tables so one of his associates asked if she could take our dessert order- it was perfect -our waiter came back to make sure we had everything . we had a lovely evening

It's great to hear that even his associate stepped in seamlessly to ensure your dessert was just right.
