   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.

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.

   We come here regularly and it seemed to be off. Ordered our usual and we asked for grilled chicken and this time it came shredded which affected taste since the marinade wasn’t obvious. Shell we usually have crispy but instead seemed to be a store bought hard shell. Made a reservation and asked for booth while there were many open they stated they are reserved. We should gave been one of them. In the time we were there most of those remained empty. Also appeared to be a couple newer managers so maybe they are changing it up. This place is usually packed and was noticeably lacking reduced crowd. Also seems to be a bit of turnover. Highly suggest paying more attention to your customers requests and assuring food is as ordered. If you are paying attention you should know your regulars.

   Thank you for sharing your feedback and for being a loyal guest. I’m sorry to hear your recent visit didn’t meet your expectations. We deeply regret the inconsistency with your usual order, including the shredded chicken and the shell not meeting our typical standards. Your comments about the reservation process and seating are also concerning, and I’ll be reviewing this with our team to better accommodate requests. We value your observations about changes in the atmosphere and team, and we’ll work to ensure that we continue providing the high-quality food and service you’ve come to expect. Your loyalty means a lot to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide the experience you deserve on your next visit.

    The restaurant music and the holiday center music were both so loud and didn’t blend and it was rather annoying to have two different music options happening at the same time. You couldn’t enjoy either one. It also took a rather long time before our server approached and took a drink order and then came back with drinks and then left again and then came back for appetizer order but took dinner order at the same time so it all came at once instead of allowing us to enjoy appetizers first. Just not how one would expect service to flow.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m sorry to hear that the competing music and delays in service disrupted your visit. We strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere, and I understand how two different music sources could be distracting. I also apologize for the lack of proper service flow—it’s important to us that each course is served at a pace that allows you to fully enjoy your meal. Your feedback will be shared with our team to ensure better coordination and attention to detail moving forward. We appreciate your input and hope you’ll give us another chance to provide the dining experience you deserve.
