Nabbing a weekend reservation at Rocco’s Tacos is nearly impossible, but after one visit, it’s easy to understand why their tables are full. Imagined by owner Rocco Mangel, this taco and tequila bar brings a Mexican dining experience to life through tequilas, music and tasty tacos.
With over 250 varieties of tequila, guacamole prepared tableside and Molcajetes, this menu has something for every palate. I’m still craving a sangria and their Molcajete Carne, authentic fajitas baked and served in a massive lava rock bowl from Mexico. Served with flour tortillas, lettuce, pico de gallo, cotija cheese (my favorite), guacamole, sour cream, skirt steak, chicken, chorizo, chile rajas and tequila. Phew. This fed us for days after our Rocco’s Tacos visit and is hands down the most unique Mexican dish I’ve ever tasted. The Molcajete Carne is really unfair to other Mexican entrees because your average steak fajitas just can’t compare to this creation.
If you’re looking for an excuse to dine out on a weekday, their Taco & Tequila Tuesdays features all you-can-eat tacos including chicken, pork, steak, beef, mushroom, shrimp or mahi tacos, each with a handful of fixings, for only $14.95 per person. Top off your tacos with their $5 tequila drinks, $15 margarita pitchers, $3 Mexican beers and $6 Tito’s vodka drinks. Even better, during October, Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar will donate a percentage of their Taco Tuesday sales to breast cancer research via Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Happy Hour never looked so good!
Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar is located at 7468 West Sand Lake Road, Orlando, FL 32819 and roccostacos.com.
