Rocco's Tacos has been one of my favorite Mexican Restaurants for a very long time. Their food is exvellent and the quality of their service is great. The four of us had the Crispy Tacos, which they serve three soft tacos with breaded mahi mahi. I have tried most of their choices in their menu and they are all awesome. The guacamole is another reason we continue to return with friends and family. If you never been to this restaurant, you must try their chips and guacamole made by your table side in a volvano rock plate. If you like avocadoes, you will love it!!!

We absolutely love Burlock Coast when we are visiting Fort Lauderdale. Excellent food. Excellent service. We have several with food allergies and they are amazing at being able to provide safe options for each of us. We’ve dined as just a couple and as a group of 6. Each time they haven’t skipped a bit. They care about where we want to sit and what we want to eat. Thank you!
