Rocco's Tacos opens at Mercato in North Naples on February 27th


My Brother-In-Law has been telling me about Rocco’s Tacos and Tequila Bar for years! He doesn’t live in Florida, but he travels to the east coast of Florida quite often where Rocco’s Tacos was founded, and says it is awesome.

When I told him Rocco’s Tacos was coming to Mercato in Naples, he nearly lost his mind, especially since Mercato also happens to be one of his favorite places! He says Rocco’s makes the guacamole at your table, as many other mexican restaurants try to do, but Rocco’s guac’ is by far the best!


This is the ninth Rocco’s Taco’s location opening at Mercato near U.S. 41 and Vanderbilt Beach Road in North Naples.


Of course, many of you have also heard me rave about my love for Mercato in North Naples, and brag about how lucky we are to have this gem in North Naples. I must say that I am excited, and I cannot wait to try Rocco’s Tacos when it opens in less than a week.


The first Rocco's opened in 2007 in West Palm Beach and it’s first Gulf Coast location opened a year ago in Tampa. Rocco's has five other locations in Florida and one in Brooklyn, New York.


“(The Naples) location will have its own unique feeling and design, while of course emulating the Rocco’s Tacos energy that our fans love. For us, it’s not a cult following but what we provide is a little authentic Mexican cuisine with a little spin, which makes it fun.”
— Rocco Mangel, Managing Partner and Namesake of Rocco's Tacos

My Brother in Law also told me about when he has been there when someone yells “Tequila!”, that’s how you know it is time for Rocco Mangel to stand on top the bar with a bottle of tequila in hand to pour complimentary shots. I can’t wait to check out Rocco’s Tacos and Tequila Bar in North Naples. See you there!
