Dined in on Saturday night, the wait was probably less than 10 minutes. Hostesses were very friendly and our server Anthony was FANTASTIC! It was pretty busy in there and he was on top of everything, and so very nice!
My fiancé ordered the chicken quesadillas which were the best quesadillas I've ever tried. I ordered the flautas which were also delicious. We both had a drink from the bar and the prices were not bad at all. Very clean, great atmosphere, 10/10 recommend!

Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Loved all the vegetarian and vegan options especially the black beans! Very nice big bar area with hightops and amazing Happy Hour. Id definitely go back to try some other things on the menu.

Such a good spot in Delray. Hands down the best the guac and chips you can get in Delray. Everything else had some great flavor. Although my drinks were a very strong and not very “sippable”. I blame Rocco’s for not remembering this night

We’ve been coming to Rocco’s in Delray for years, and it used to be one of those dependable spots — good energy, good drinks, fun vibe. So coming back this time and seeing what it’s turned into was honestly shocking. A complete 180.
The place was basically empty, and with that, the atmosphere was just gone. No buzz, no music energy.
I ordered a mezcal margarita — and I’m not exaggerating — it didn’t even taste like a margarita. No lime, no brightness, just bland. When the bartender asked if I liked it, I had to let him know it was missing some sour mix and fresh lime. He very kindly added and re-shook to perfection.
For food, we ordered the queso fundido with chorizo and the camarones al ajillo. The “queso fundido” came in a small cast iron pan with what looked like chopped hotdogs posing as chorizo and a buttload of onions on the bottom, then prepackaged Safeway cheese sprinkled on top and baked. This was absolutely embarrassing and sad. I took 2 bites and left the rest - it was simply not even close to what queso fundido is. The shrimp? Not sautéed — it was literally shrimp tossed into what was basically a garlic soup. The tortillas that came with it might as well have been the frisbee that I throw for my dog.
Overall, both the drinks and food were beyond disappointing. I can longer recommend this spot anymore. If you actually want good Mexican food and real drinks, go over to El Camino close by — they know how to make a proper mezcal margarita, the vibe is fire, and their queso fundido with chorizo is exactly how it should be!! …yes, we went to El Camino afterwards only to order the right queso fundido!! Photos show you the difference between the two - you decide! ;-)

Rocco's Tacos used to be a semi-decent place, but now the food is just terrible and disappointing.
First, the good points: the restaurant is cute and inviting. Also, our waitress was very nice.
Now, the bad news—the food was awful.
The burritos were practically meatless and were filled with cheap bulk, consisting of about 90% rice. They had no flavor or quality filling. The tacos were also bad; they were noticeably over-fried. To top it off, the draft beer was flat.
It's a shame that a restaurant with a nice setting and staff fails so completely on its food. I can't recommend eating here right now. They urgently need to address the decline in their kitchen quality.
