No doubt when staying in our luxury Orlando vacation homes<\/a> you’ll want to check out the local dining scene. Orlando boasts a thriving year-round plethora of dining options to suit, including a fantastic offering of Mexican food options. We’ve been looking for great Tex Mex for a while, but with so many restaurants in Orlando it can be hard to choose just one spot. Then we found Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar, a place that’s so cool, it’s HOT!<\/p>\n

\"Roccos

Roccos Tacos Orlando<\/p><\/div>\n

Visit Roccos Tacos just about any time of the day or night, and this exciting Orlando eatery is sure to be packed with customers. Here the food sizzles with a stampede of Mexican flavours, easily as good as you\u2019d get south of the border. Listen out for the buzzword \u201cTequila!\u201d echoing across the bar. That\u2019s when you\u2019ll see the owner, Rocco Mangel, donning platform shoes, dancing on the bar and pouring tequila shots into customers\u2019 mouths.<\/p>\n

Palm Beach Post<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since opening its doors on West Sand Lake Road just a few years ago, Rocco\u2019s has become the go-to destination for authentic Mexican dining in Orlando, complete with high-energy tequila bar, DJs, dancing and free tequila pourings by the brand\u2019s enigmatic owner.<\/span><\/p>\n

The d\u00e9cor is the epitome of fun, with an expansive dining area, brightly coloured walls and a vast elaborately carved cocktail bar serving more than 400 varieties of tequila. The ceiling is adorned with Rocco\u2019s signature star-shaped, punched-metal chandeliers, while illuminated hanging baskets cast a cosy light over the expansive outdoor patios.<\/span><\/p>\n

The place reverberates with sounds from around the Latin world, and the food catches the groove with an expansive menu of Mexican favourites prepared with distinct attention to detail.\u00a0You have to order the guacamole, which is made tableside, mashed, seasoned and customised as hot as you\u2019d like it. Then there are the handmade tortillas, cooked fresh on the restaurant\u2019s Cormal, just as they\u2019re made in kitchens throughout Mexico.<\/p>\n

The molcajetes are a must-try, Rocco\u2019s version of an authentic fajita baked and served in a lava bowl from Mexico. Wash it down with a choice of authentic Mexican libations. We love the margarita, made with one of 425 tequilas and a sour mix you\u2019ll taste nowhere else – it\u2019s made right on the premises.<\/p>\n

“One of the best Mexican restaurants in Orlando.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Cost-wise, Rocco\u2019s prices are perfectly approachable, although guests come from far and wide for its famed Taco & Tequila Tuesdays, featuring all-you-can-eat tacos for\u00a0$15.99, $5 margaritas and $15 margarita pitchers. Then there’s daily happy hour 4-7 pm with $2 off drinks and 7 bar bites for $7.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar Orlando is located in Plaza Venezia, near Eddie V’s. Free parking is available, and valet parking is offered. For more information or to book a table contact the <\/span>Top Villas Concierge Team<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
