  I am actually a little blown away by all of it. From start to finish. From the hostesses (such sweethearts) to the server, to the food. Most important, though, I want this to be regarding our server! I didn’t get his name but I’ll try to describe him. He was tall, dreads, and beautiful smile. I have lived in St. Pete for two years now, and I am always disappointed by the service. They are either not very kind, not very knowledgeable, forget something or they take forever and you are always looking for them. Our server was incredible, he was upbeat, and super sharp! He was slammed, yet you couldn’t see it on his face! He was so detail oriented in everything he asked and was so helpful with our questions. I really wish there was a way he could be paid just a tad bit more or rewarded by the best sections lol idk. But anyways, it was so nice to be able to focus on my friend, and the food, for once - instead of frustrated with the experience the whole time!

  We had such a great experience at Rocco’s Tacos! Any time I have friends in town, Rocco’s is my go to spot for great margaritas and food. The Black Diamond Margarita is top tier, highly recommended. I definitely recommend getting the table side guacamole. They make it at your table to your spice liking. Our server Kris K was the BEST! He had such a great welcoming attitude, and loved his job. Rocco was actually in town, and Kris brought him over to say hello. This definitely made another experience at Rocco’s for me. Thanks for the great service Kris!

  We had an incredible experience at Rocco’s Tacos, and it was all thanks to Emma. She was attentive, proactive, and genuinely engaged with our table from the moment we sat down. Her food recommendations were spot on and elevated the entire meal. She prepared our table-side guacamole and made it both fun and delicious. She walked us through the menu with confidence and clarity, answered every question with kindness, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever having to ask. Emma delivered one of the best restaurant experiences we’ve had in a long time. If you’re dining here, ask for her.

  We arrived around 3pm with zero people in line. We were told a 30 minute wait. After waiting 35 minutes we were moved from #2 in line and waited another 15 minutes then went back to #3 in line. I asked the desk host if she can please tell me why we’re being moved back. She stated, “we are out of forks. We cannot seat anyone until there are forks on the tables”. We could have at least been seated and offered drinks and chips. There were six empty tables. I didn’t say anything but that was not what I’d like to hear from a restaurant. You’re out of forks at 3 pm during a slow time? I politely waited fifteen more minutes. My daughter and I were seated. Another hostess brought us each a fork and handed it to us. The original hostess came to our table and said, in these words, “Did someone seat you? This table was reserved for someone who was waiting for a table.” My daughter replied, “we were waiting and were seated by a hostess”. Then she asked “who seated you!” This was honestly the most rude treatment we’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. Besides this, we waited another ten minutes for anyone to take a drink order. Our waiter was very kind. Guac and chips $17.00 salsa was another $8.00 and came with chips. The chips were medium brown when served- in my opinion over done, but this may be their style. The menus looked great. The food taste- not so much. $5.00 lemonade. The first time we here about a year ago the food seemed better. Something changed. It was not tasty this time and the chicken was tough to chew. I didn’t complain but I’ll never go back again. I wanted to share my honest experience with future customers. Great guacamole but $17.00 is a bit high. The salsa was too $ in my opinion didn’t taste good. Good lemonade $5.00 each is a bit high I didn’t order a plate. I shared with my 2nd daughter. My first daughter ordered two chicken tacos. My second daughter ordered three chicken Birria tacos ($24.00) The bill was $108.00 including a $19.00 tip. Great atmosphere The food : not so much

  We came at a less busy time 9pm or so but you could tell the servers and staff were still attentive and had energy despite it being a busy Friday night. Knowing this, it didn’t bother my that no one came to our table right as we sat down but we did have a couple people come by to make sure we had someone attending to us, and that goes a long way on a busy evening! Kudos to the staff/management for recognizing that. Once John came by he was great at recommending different items on the menu and was consistent with service and highly attentive throughout the evening. If you want to be taken care of, ask for John at the front! Guac, Birria, and Burrito were amazing and you could tell it was all made fresh. Would recommend going if you’re in the area looking for Tacos!
