So we're down here for the EMS Expo and this was the restaurant we chose. Boy did we choose right, drinks were fantastic. They have a great happy hour, friends enjoyed the margherita. Make sure to get the guacamole they make it fresh at the table!

We were very disappointed. We go other Mexican Restaurants in area that are much better and less expensive. We read the reviews. We recognize that some reviews are an overreaction either way. The first hostess was rude and then second one should ask if you want to sit inside or out. The server was very nice but they gave her too many tables and she could not keep up. The margarita was small and average tasting. The appetizer of queso fundido chorizo came out with the main entree at the same time and was tasteless. The mocahjete was also tasteless. Both are usually more spicy. There was almost a dog fight on the back deck between patrons pets. They should not seat those patrons next to each other. In summary the place is dirty, bad service, average food quality, staff lacks training which reflects on management.

Location was recommended by a co-worker who is a local. The husband's favorite food is Mexican and especially tacos. The food was great! Fresh guacamole made at the table was amazing. Therapist are street size and had great flavor. I was excited I could or different tacos versus x amount of the same one. The ambiance was phenomenal, both inside and out. The place was extremely busy, but the service was still fantastic. We would definitely recommend going for great food and fun.

We loved our tacos and chips/queso/salsa at this restaurant. The portions were generous cooked to our specifications. The service was good. My husband loved all of the tequila selections for his margarita. Another plus, was the patio seating next to the patio. If you are able, time your meal around sunset and try to waterside patio seating. This venue is casual and would be fun for a date night but is also kid friendly.

Good but super loud . We had the yummy guacamole & chips as our app . I had a single shrimp taco . I wasn't impressed but it was delicious. Was looking for the slaw type , it had no slaw inside . No salsa in sight . My husbands dish was good but needed something... like salsa . The Modelo was cold, the server was perky and sweet . OPD was on guard at the door , not sure what that was all about but they were friendly to me as he stood right by my chair and asked if I was ok with that . My husband is Usmc so I said of course I'm good . I used the restroom and of course they had worked up a conversation by the time I returned . The music is super night club loud so it may not be your thing , I wonder if that's every night or just on Friday?

It is our tradition to stop here after leaving the airport. Its on our way to where we normally stay. We have never had a bad meal or service here. Always seated right away. Don't fill up on the delicious chips/salsa. Also, their chips with the cheese is amazing. I've also heard they have the best guacamole. Berea tacos cannot be beat. Great drink selection and menu. Beautiful patio area too.

We waited FOREVER for our food. Over an hour. When it arrived it was incorrect and cold. The waitress said she would fix it and when the waitress brought it back it was too cold to eat. Between waiting and the cold food we would not recommend this place especially with so many other great restaurants nearby.

One of my favorite places to go ins Orlando is it's always a good time to pack, music and sound, and the ambiance is fantastic. My favorite thing to get there is the guacamole with medium spice.

Rocco's Tacos rocks! I love everything about it. The scene is bumping, the drinks are fruity & fun but strong, the food hits the spot, and a scenic view! Seriously- sit on the deck or ask for a water facing table. I come in with friends and co-workers fairly regularly and never once have I had a bad meal. The service is exceptional to boot. I recommend starting with some of the staple starters like table side guacamole and queso. The chips are served hot and are well seasoned. You can order the table side guacamole to your liking since it's made fresh to order. Depending on the size of my group sometimes I end up ordering both a spicy and mild blend but it's so nice to have that option. And of course get a margarita pitcher with your friends/co-workers/family. There's plenty to go around and it's cost effective so you'd be remiss to skip out on such an opportunity hahaha. When it comes time for the main event, you can't possibly go wrong with tacos. If I had to choose I'd say that the crispy fish are some of my favorite but someone almost always orders the molcajete and I've seen the burrito bowls enough times to know that I MUST try one soon. I will leave you with one final tip. Order dessert and make it the tres leches. It's a great finisher! Perfect texture and ample moisture. Tres leches should always be soaked and this one comes saturated with flavor. It's great for sharing-or not wink wink.

This is not authentic Mexican food but the salsa and guacamole is on point. Seats out back has a better view than being inside but when it's humid, the indoor ambiance is festive and perfect for happy hour. The service is fast and lots of parking. However, be sure to make a reservation as the wait can be long.
I love this place. This is my favorite margarita/Mexican place and I will always enjoy brining people here. I took my parents there and we sat out at the outside bar that was near the entrance as it was Taco Tuesday so it was pretty busy. We took advantage of the happy hour deals and I got a margarita and my parents got wine. The bartenders were nice and helpful. If you are looking for a unique place to go in the middle of the chain and tourist traps, I would suggest this place over anything else!

My wife suggested we come here for dinner because of her experience at their Fort Lauderdale location a few years ago. Really happy that she did because we really enjoyed our time. After checking in with the hostess, we headed back outside to their open air bar where we made it just in time to order some drinks before happy hour ended. And they were really good! They have so many brands of tequila to choose from as well as a pretty big list of cocktails. One thing I would suggest that you be careful though is that they provide lots of tortilla chips to your table and it is really easy to stuff yourself without realizing it lol! You want to make sure you still have room for your main meal as their portions are pretty large, at least compared to what we have back home in Canada. We took our leftovers back to the hotel and that was our supper the next day. The service was really good too! Our waitress proactively asked us if we had any allergies that they should know about before ordering. We don’t but normally we find that the onus is on the customer to let them know. Looking forward to trying another one of their locations in the future!

Vibes = 100 Service = 100 (except the hostess who was incredibly impatient and unhelpful despite us having a reservation) Unfortunately the food is sub-par. Molcajete surf and turf was the single best item ordered at our party of 4.

The food is amazing! Never had a bad meal the last four time we've gone there. Their drinks are unbelievable and so is the atmosphere and scenery! On Tuesday (taco Tuesday) it turned into a lounge/ night club and it was packed as well as fun! If that isn't your scene, eat dinner earlier.
