Not stand out. Not at all. Baja fish tacos tasted like Gordon's from Walmart's freezer. The steak tacos had so much crap on them and HUGE chunks of steak. Nobody wants a taco with beef tips, please. The tacos de pescado, different from Baja Fish. Those being from California. Anyway back to the "other" fish taco. It came out like a slab o' fish balancing on top of everything else in the tortilla. Didn't look appealing. The guacamole is bad. Like, get a tub of preservative full at Sam's and slather it on. No. Please don't. I'd be interested to see what kind of tableside guac you'd get for the appetizer? Maybe it was made today rather than 3 wks ago? It was that bad. You could taste the store-bought-ness. Smash a damn avocado, sprinkle in some salt and garlic and that is HEAPS better than this was. Solid A ++ on the chips & salsa. Best thing they serve. read more

It's been a month and I still feel inclined to write this negative review to save others. We had a couple appetizers, margaritas & a plate of shrimp tacos coming out to $100. The money wouldn't be a problem if one of the items had any flavor. They should take "Rockin" out of the name and replace it with "Bland" I felt that it was impressive to even mess up a margarita. The waitress was rude and neglectful while the manager just chatted at the bar while we were there. Disappointed this was the restaurant I went to on a special day of celebration. read more

Adriana is the best server you can get. She took care of us and helped us make the right choices on the menu

My boyfriend and I tried Rockin Tacos on Cinco de Mayo. Overall, the service was fast, but it felt very rushed because I know they were trying to get people in and out. We were here a total of 45 minutes (if that). The service was fast but very unpersonable. I ordered the chicken tacos and they were just alright. My boyfriend ordered the lobster tacos and loved them! Price is reasonable for everything we got. We both ordered the house margarita and I'm convinced there is 0 tequila in the drink - I have felt that has happened at every restaurant The Crab Trap owns (including Al's and Rockin Tacos). We had to order individual shots to pour in the margarita (extra $20). Wouldn't come back because it's nothing special. read more

One of the best skinny Margaritas that I ever had. Fresh and delicious yellow fin tuna tacos with crunchy coleslaw. They let you substitute the sides. I tried the street corn and their side salad both yummy. Music at lunch time was a great touch plus lovely views of the ocean from the balcony . Great friendly servers. We actually went there two days in a row. read more

Somewhat local but had never been. Janet was our swerved on the patio and was the best! Had the crab tacos. Super good!

Aside from the roaches running around the building, our service was terrible. Jade, the bartender, was our server. I get that everyone has a bad day, but she was just down right rude. Even after clarifying one of the orders with her, the food still came out wrong. She did not apologize and acted like it was our fault. Additionally part of one of our meals was rotten. As we have a pregnant woman in our group, she could not eat that part of her meal. If you like roaches, bad service, and rotten food this is the place to go. read more

By far the best tacos I've ever had! I am saddened that I can't have them again as we were just visiting Florida. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. The flavor was out of this world! They pack the tacos with meat, two is plenty. We shared the gator and shrimp tacos, the shrimp was my favorite but the gator was good too! Both cooked perfectly and paired well with the sauce. We also shared the avocado fries, fried perfectly and the dipping sauce was divine. I got the mango peach mojito, my two favorite things mangos and mojitos. It was strong, sweet and minty. I was delighted with it. Great views but even better food! 10 out of 10 recommended stopping here, it will not disappoint. read more

Rockin Taco is all about the experience. And they are doing their best to make it exceptional. This was my first time to visit Rockin Tacos. Some of the things that I loved: 1. The bartender remembered talking to us at another bar that he worked at, and he even remembered our names. 2. There were seats available at the bar while we waited for our table. 3. There was a QR code that you could use to join an online trivia game while you waited for your table. 4. They have a nice outside deck that overlooks the ocean. 5. The manager came over and talked to us and wanted to make sure we had a great experience! The food was also really good. My husband and I split the chicken fajita platter, and it was plenty of food for both of us. My only complaint is that I wished they had complimentary chips and salsa like other restaurants. read more

This place draws attention largely due to its proximity to the water. It is exactly what you would expect, right down to the menu. We went here for lunch on a wednesday and sat right at the rail over looking the beach. I had a margarita and the fish tacos, my son had a burrito. (this particular burrito is his go to here, which is why he wants to bring me. he loves the sauce. one i told him it was just chipotle mayo..... it lost a little bit of it's luster) rockin' tacos will do in a pot nah, or if you're on the beach near by, but you don't need to go out of your way. read more

Tasty with a hint of salt air. The food was fantastic. I sat at the bar and after chatting with Chase, I got the Gator Taco's, wow so good. I also got a jalapeno margarita and boy did he know how to make that, nice and fresh. Throughout the meal he checked in on me just enough to not be overbearing. The only concern I have, they really can't do anything about. The location is on the second floor of the building, with windows that open to the outside, over looking the beach and Gulf of Mexico. Due to that, everything had a fresh layer of beach haze on it. The glasses hanging, while they didn't look clean, they were, but they rinsed them before putting drinks in them. Sadly, due to the location and Mother Nature, that's really something they can't control. However, the next time I'm in town, I know where I'll be dining! read more

I'm very disappointed with our experience. My boyfriend and I had our first date here, so we decided to come back for our anniversary, but unfortunately it didn't live up to our memories. We were seated next to a table with young children who were throwing food to the pigeons directly under our table. We politely asked our waitress if we could move to the other end of the deck, and we were met with a lot of attitude. We completely understand that there are birds on the deck--we've been here before--but we weren't expecting people to be feeding them right next to us while we were trying to eat. After we moved, our new waitress was very kind, and we appreciated her. However, the food was disappointing. It was bland, and the shrimp tasted overly salty, almost like seawater, and seemed slightly undercooked. On top of that, the music was so loud that I had to raise my voice just to have a conversation with my boyfriend, and it was difficult to even hear our waitress. We came back hoping to celebrate a special anniversary at a place that meant a lot to us, so it was really disappointing that the experience fell so far short. Sadly, we'll probably choose somewhere else next time. read more

Janet was a great server!! Great restaurant definitely recommend to people. (Food was great as well! )

we came for lunch and had Janet as our server! she was extremely thoughtful and kind! will definitely come back!

We went to watch the sunset while having a drink. The outside seating was slightly too close for anyone larger than a ten. The lighting was just right to see the beach during sunset with the ocean breeze keeping you cool. They were extremely busy yet our server made sure to check in several times even though we only had an Island Water bucket and queso. The food we saw being served looked incredible. read more

Food was terrible. Atmosphere & staff were fun and inviting. My husband & I got the Mexican taco trio & they all fell apart, shrimp taco tasted bad with no seasoning, & pork taco was awful. Just had high expectations & was let down with the food. read more

Our server Janet was awesome. Good food, good vibes! I highly recommend the quest and the lobster tacos!

I honestly can't remember the last time I've had this bad of service. No one greeted us for 15 mins so we finally had to ask someone. The queso came out cold and they too it back and basically warmed it up in a microwave and said it would be warm and wasn't. The shrimp quesadilla was chewy and there was no cheese inside. It has a great view of the beach but that's probably the only thing good about it. Was looking forward to a nice and fun lunch and was sadly disappointed. read more

The yellow fin tuna tacos are fantastic with great depth of flavor and plenty of food even for bigger eaters. My ahi was seared perfectly and the balance of fish to slaw was spot on. The steak fajita was a total let down as the meat was dry and lacked seasoning. The rice was undercooked and beans were closer to a paste than yumminess. The nachos are worth getting and you will pick at them all night long, as they are huge!!!! The service here is timely and fair not adding not detracting from the dining experience. I would have appreciated a bit more responsiveness during the meal concerning refilling the drinks. Great view of the beach and fantastic at sunset. read more

Service was fast. Food and drinks were GOOD! I'd recommend this place! Shrimp tacos was amazingly good !!

Fresh into town and as it was our first visit to the area, we looked for something ocean side and close to us. Just one stoplight away brought us here. Great view since they are on the second floor and a great covered deck to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Gulf. Quick service, flavorful margaritas, crisp this chips and salsa, started our meal, well more of a snack.. We opted for the queso, since it included the salsa and then added an order of flautas. Just enough for us to share after a 6 hour drive. The service was handled by the staff as we had no less than 3 people bringing our order to us. We will return, as my wife has decided that we need to spend more time on the gulf coast. read more

Beachfront joints are perhaps the most magical thing in Florida. As warm breezes hit the face, the cold draft beer keeps on flowing and seafood loads up the table. Yet, very view spots on the beach manage to impress when it comes to food. Oddly, some of the best seafood is found steps away from the beach, yet not directly on the beach. Maybe it's the margins of a beachfront property that force business owners to sacrifice quality. Rockin' Taco has a solid menu of Mexican classics. The nachos come loaded up with enough chips to feed a table, but the quality suffers. Guacamole is not very fresh, already turned brown. The shrimp are not either, with an odd ammonia like taste that's sometimes found on low quality frozen shrimp far inland. The mahi tacos are alright, but we're far from a favorite, yet that's a matter of taste. Notable draft beer selections include 30a and Tres Picos Mexican lager. Most importantly, people working here are kind and attentive, representing the quintessential warmth of the region. Great place to grab a beer with an ocean view. read more

Can't even get to ordering food. It's so loud. 2:30 in the afternoon. Less than a dozen tables and the music is louder than any night club. Couldn't even hear the server.

We ordered shrimp tacos and grilled fish tacos. The fish tacos were very dry and full of bones, large bones. The shrimp Tacos were average and heavily breaded. We also ordered two margaritas that didn't have a lot of tequila and very watered down. The manager happened to stop by our table to ask about our meal so we shared the above info with him. He said "we'll do better next time". I don't think there'll be a next time. read more
