“Amazing experience at Roccos Tacos!
The food and the atmosphere was incredible.
What made our night was the immaculate service from our waiter Allan. He makes you feel welcomed as if you are entering his home as if you were friends with him for years. Ask for him next time you go to Roccos Tacos.“

“Was looking forward to the Ceviche I had on our first night on vacation. I came back to have the Ceviche again a few days later since I loved it so much and the Ceviche was completely different. All shrimp…. Did not even taste like Ceviche. Was sooo disappointed. I wish they would have told us before we ordered or I would have gotten something else instead. Let your customers know if the menu changes. I walked through high winds and rain to come back to this restaurant before flying back home.“

“I just celebrated my birthday with 3 of my friends at Epazote. The food was incredible we left so full! The staff were all friendly, kind and patient! The restaurant is small but it gave such a cozy warm vibe that I loved it! We had the Taquiza (assorted taco platter) as an appetizer and it was so much food! We also had guacamole and the Queso Fundido (OMG gooey delicious cheese!) Even though we barely had room for anything else, we also ordered main dishes that we knew we’d have take home. The Pescado Frito (grilled whole snapper) was phenomenal. The fajitas came out sizzling and steaming. The Quesabirrias were so flavorful and the consume is to die for. You can tell they use fresh homemade ingredients and infuse everything with love and passion. I can’t wait to come back for Taco Tuesday snd Margarita Monday!“

“Loko’s Takos is undoubtedly one of the best taco spots in Fort Lauderdale. Their tacos are exceptional, but the quality extends to everything on the menu—I’ve personally tried all their dishes, and each one has been outstanding. They also offer an impressive wine collection, adding to the overall dining experience. The customer service is top-notch; both Stephanie and Lucca provided warm, attentive service that made my visit even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is authentic, and the establishment is impeccably clean and well-maintained. I would rate this place 5 stars…also a great environment to bring your family and friends and we can’t forget about those margaritas :)“

“Surprised us with the flavors that came out of this food truck. Food was authentic with a flare. We didn’t speak Spanish and she didn’t really understand us either so we pointed at the menu. It was located in an area we don’t travel much to so most likely won’t return only due to the location. Strange area for it to be parked in. But over all she prepared our food nicely and the cost was reasonable for sure. Too bad they weren’t closer to where we live we would definitely return.“

“Worst Service Ever! Read the Fine Print.. When I was informed that My "Happy Hour" margaritas were suddenly Double Priced because I didn't order any entrees.. Marie the MOD who claimed to be an Owner/ Family member told us "is this your first time here?" stating I had been here several times. Marie then replied "Then you should know The rules" and began to berate the poor waitress right there at the table about not informing us of this rules! I was not only so embarrassed for the poor waitress but embarrassed for Miss Marie who claims to be an owner! I've been in the hospitality industry for years and have never in my life seen such behavior by a well known establishment. I paid my check and tipped the poor waitress well. after leaving I then went back and apologized again to the poor waitress for her manager/owners behavior. if corporate reads this, there's a coaching opportunity for Miss Marie. she should not be in management. to stand at a customers table in the middle of a crowded dining room and argue insisting that the customers are wrong and should know the rules is unacceptable! I don't mind playing by the rules but I need to know what they are first. I have visited La Bamba on several occasions over my years in Fort Lauderdale. that will end immediately!! I will never again visit or recommend La Bamba to anyone. consumer Beware $50.00 for 4 6oz well Margaritas is a crime within itself. you have several locations and have been successful maybe it's time you check yourself and remember where you came from. sincerely disgusted by La Bamba and it's supposed owner!“

“We are locals that come to the drunken taco all the time and unfortunately, we had a bad experience today. We waited 20 minutes for a server so we went and got our own drink at the bar. We were then kicked out of the table because we went to the bar to get our own drinks. We had to go sit at the bar and yet I’m looking at 20 empty tables. I’m not a spring breaker and we tip well understanding the real estate of these seats and servers needing to make money. As I am finishing my drink both tables we tried to sit at have been empty. Even worse when we came to the bar to sit, we sat next to two other gentlemen m, not locals, who had just been kicked out of their seats because they hadn’t ordered food yet they had more friends going to join them and possibly would have ordered food, but how the situation was handled, they went somewhere else as well. Not the best business practice especially when you’re slow.“

“First time here. In on a Wednesday at 4 PM. Got seated and our server brought drinks and chips. Salsa for the chips was WAY too watery. My friend ordered Roast Pork with rice & beans. $ 9.99 He said the flavor was good as was the quantity. I ordered Beef Fajitas $ 19.99. Came with a SMALL dish of sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa and a little shredded lettuce and 4 warm tortillas. No problem getting more. The quantity of Fajita fixings was good but they left out the Fajita Seasoning so it did not taste like Fajitas at all. Add the seasoning and the dish would have been a 5. Finished the meal with a flan. $ 3.99 Small for the price. Server Marvin did a good job. Not close to home. May go back.“

“First time at this place; the restaurant was clean, the food was outstanding, and the waiter (Brandon) was very attentive. Then again, there were only two or three other tables seated. Awkward ambiance for the first five+/- minutes because there was no music playing and the TVs were off. Finally, the music came on and the dining experience improved ten-fold. Meanwhile, the TVs were never turned on. Not a big deal, in fact... might even be cool to have a place with no TVs, where people are forced to interact with one another. But I digress, if you choose to have televisions in your establishment, keep them on; there's a lot you can do with them, not just have it on TV programming. Anyways, this place is absolutely fantastic and has the potential to be one of the area's best restaurants. I'll definitely be back!“
