    Our Christmas Eve dinner at Rocco’s Tacos - Sarasota did not disappoint!! From the initial greeting from the host, being sat on time for our 5pm reservation, to a promptly greeted server, and then some of the best tacos we have ever had were served along with our chips and salsa…and can I say the three salsas were n point! Thank you to the team at Rocco’s Tacos for such a great evening of food and Christmas Lights at UTC - Sarasota!

    With each of our visits to Sarasota, Rocco’s is always our first stop and we are there for several days during our visits. The food is absolutely tasty and the guacamole is THE best I have eaten. From the management, servers to the lovely setting you ALWAYS make sure that the best service is provided. Thank you, and until next time, it has been a joy!

    After being seated and ordering we waited 45 minutes for our food. The waiter came over and said the kitchen "lost our ticket and it would be another 5 minutes". 15 minutes later we got our food.

    Everything was perfect!! The nachos were delicious and plentiful. The shrimp tacos were so good. Sitting outside in the cool weather watching the lights and shoppers strolling by was delightful. And finally, our server, Ian, was so attentive and pleasant despite the huge crowd of diners that kept all the servers busy. The evening couldn’t have been better. Kudos to Rocco’s Tacos!

    The entrées came at the same time as the appetizer (we took two bites and left the rest) and we never received the drinks from the bar. Disappointing as we usually get a drink before the entrées and a drink during the entrées.
    Rocco's Tacos - SarasotaResponded 3 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your experience. I sincerely apologize for the timing issues with your meal and the missed drinks from the bar. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and I understand how disappointing it must have been, especially given your usual expectations. Your feedback will be shared with our team to address these lapses and ensure better coordination in the future. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide the seamless experience you deserve.

    Great service and we loved the environment but the food overall really lacked salt or any type of seasoning. I’ve been to the other Rocco’s locations and was disappointed with the food that came out of this location, just expected better.

    Thank you for your feedback. While we’re glad you enjoyed the service and environment, I’m sorry to hear the food didn’t meet your expectations. We take pride in delivering flavorful dishes and will share your comments with our kitchen team to ensure improvements are made. We appreciate your loyalty to other Rocco’s locations and hope you’ll give us another chance to provide the quality you’ve come to expect.
