Staff were great but in no hurry. We were served one drink, would have bought more but no opportunity to do so, seemed we were there forever Table side guacamole was good, but not exciting or amazing, just yeah, here it is. Just nothing special to say.

At Rocco, the drink is surprisingly below expectations, both in terms of taste (diluted and missing ingredients) and usage of blender (instead of frozen machine). Grand Hacienda and Jotoro have much better frozen margs.

However, there were several booths open but we were sat in a crowded area that was extremely hard to get to because other tables were all ready seated and the tables were close together. Dinner and drinks more than made up for the crowded and loud table we were seated at. The guacamole was great as were the margaritas. Highly recommend but ask to be seated in a booth.
