They swapped the cabbage for lettuce, ditched the cilantro, radish and chipotle sauce, and just left me with pico de gallo and some damn lettuce. It was dry. I was so hungry I didn’t even bother complaining. Rocco’s, please don’t make me go through this again.

I’m sorry to hear that the chicken tacos lacked flavor and that we were unable to serve the fresh tableside guacamole due to being out of avocados. This is not a normal occurrence and I sincerely apologize. We hope you’ll give us another chance to provide the flavorful and memorable experience we’re known for.

She proceeded to say have you guys been told you have to be out by 6:30? we were like no we were not told that we just walked in the building. It was just very rude and that’s not the first thing you want to hear when you walk into a restaurant that you have a reservation for. we came here to celebrate my friends college graduation, which is a big accomplishment. We were planning to drink and have a good time, but that just threw off the whole mood so we did not even drink at the establishment because of this. Regardless, I don’t think we would’ve stayed 2 1/2 hours so I don’t even think her saying that at the front was necessary at all. It just was a very bad look like we weren’t valued customers and there was more important people to follow. not only that once we got sat a waitress didn’t come up to us for 20 minutes so it was just contradicting kind of rushing us out of there to begin with and then not even having quick service. We waited for our food for like 40 minutes as well, which would’ve been fine if we were drinking and having a good time, but the experience started bad off the jump.

She checked on us and even warned me not to eat the chips due to possible cross contamination as I have celiac. The drinks were perfect...not to strong, and not too sweet. The food was delicious. the value of what you get for the price is fair. I will be going back.
