The place

Rocco's Tacos & Tequila Bar is a Mexican restaurant and tequila bar at 2223 N Westshore Blvd #203 in Tampa's Westshore district. The menu centers on hand-pressed tacos, guacamole prepared tableside, and house margaritas. The bar pours more than 400 tequilas and mezcals, one of the largest selections in Florida. Outdoor patio seating is available and pets are welcome on the patio. Reservations are accepted through OpenTable and the website, and walk-ins are seated at the bar. Takeout and delivery are offered via Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub. Happy hour runs weekday afternoons with half-price margaritas and discounted appetizers. The Westshore location is part of a Florida-based group founded by Rocco Mangel in 2007.

Rocco's Tacos & Tequila Bar anchors the Westshore corridor with a lively, high-energy room and a patio that draws after-work crowds from the surrounding office towers and International Plaza. It's a destination for tableside guacamole, a tequila list north of 400 bottles, and margaritas that arrive shaken, not blended.

Start with the tableside guacamole and a basket of warm chips with salsa. The hand-pressed tacos — al pastor, carne asada, baja-style fish, and crispy shrimp — are the headline. Larger plates like carnitas, enchiladas suizas, and the fajita platter are built for sharing. Save room for churros with chocolate dipping sauce, and ask the bartender for a flight of añejos or a smoky mezcal pour.

Reservations are recommended on weekends and during happy hour; book through OpenTable or roccostacos.com. The patio is dog-friendly. Valet and self-parking are available in the office tower garage. Takeout and delivery are offered through Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub, and the full bar program is available at the counter.
