Mexican Independence Day at Rocco's Tacos
Mexican Independence Day or Día de la Independencia is celebrated on the 16th of September in Mexico which marks the beginning of the movement for the liberation of Mexico from the Spaniards with the ‘Grito de Dolores’ by Miguel Hidalgo in 1810. Today, this important event is celebrated through parades, music, fireworks, and feasts that are full of Mexican dishes and beverages. If you wish to experience this vibrant party, then come to Rocco’s Tacos as we bring Mexico to life with our traditional food, beverages, and lively environment.
Located in nine cities of Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Delray Beach, Naples, Orlando, Palm Beach Gardens, Tampa, West Palm Beach, or Sarasota, Rocco’s Tacos is your neighborhood restaurant to celebrate Mexican culinary culture. The following are the reasons why you should consider us as your preferred destination this Mexican Independence Day.
It’s the start of the week, and what better way to unwind than with a delightful Margarita as part of our Margarita Mondays promotion? We have our $5 House Margaritas every Monday of the week. Whether you are free from work or thinking about going out with your friends, our margaritas are made with the right proportions of tequila, lime juice, and sugar. Enjoy it as a slushy or ice cold – either way, it is the perfect way to welcome Mexican flavors to the beginning of your week. Margarita Mondays at Rocco’s Tacos will add that special touch to your celebration, not just limited to Mexican Independence Day.
If you love tequila, then Rocco’s Tacos is the place for you to visit. We have a tequila selection that consists of more than two hundred types of tequila. Whether you want a very smooth añejo, a strong reposado, or a very crisp blanco, our bartenders will be pleased to tell you what to order. Whether you are a tequila connoisseur or just getting started, you will find a great selection that will make you feel part of the real Mexican culture.
Of course, no fiesta is truly complete without food, and our selection of Antojitos and Botanas will be sure to whet your appetite. Start with a basket of Totopos (Chips and Tres Salsas), served with a trio of freshly made salsas: salsa crasa, a classic prepared with tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and lime; salsa verde, made with tomatillos and jalapeno peppers; and picante salsa, which contains chiles arbol. For cheese enthusiasts, try the Austin Queso, a Tex-Mex cheese dip that comes with Rocco’s chips and a variety of fresh vegetables for dipping. For palates that crave crunch and a lot of flavors, the Nachos are served with black beans, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, chihuahua cheese, pickled jalapeños, and garnished with chile de arbol and chipotle salsas. It is also possible to enhance the nachos with spicy beef, chicken, or brisket if you want to give it an added zest.
At Rocco’s Tacos, one of the most popular dishes is the Flautas – fried flour tortillas stuffed with chicken and served with salsa chile de árbol. If you are a fan of melted cheese then you should definitely not miss out on the Queso Fundido which is a blend of chihuahua and cheddar cheese baked with chili rajas and served with warm tortillas. The flavors complement each other well and each bite is a great appetizer or a snack.
Of course, tacos are a must-try, and we have a huge selection of tacos on our menu to choose from. Our Tacos de Casa come on flour tortillas (or gluten-free corn tortillas) with choices of delicious fillings such as adobe roasted chicken, spicy beef, or marinated grilled steak. Each taco is then garnished with chopped fresh pico de gallo, cilantro, pickled red onions, and a small amount of crumbled cotija cheese. For those who want something more familiar, Tacos de Calle is a street-style taco with freshly made corn tortillas. Other options you can go for include the crispy pork belly with chipotle BBQ, the shrimp with peanut salsa macha, or the classic pork carnitas.
Besides our tacos, you can also choose from our Burritos & Bowls. All burritos are made with yellow rice, black beans, chihuahua cheese, and guacamole and are served with sour cream and pico de gallo on the side. Looking for enchiladas, we offer such varieties as chicken with tomatillo sauce or pork with guajillo chili sauce served with yellow rice and beans. Whatever you choose to order, be it tacos, burritos, or enchiladas, you are in for a tasty Mexican meal.
Rocco’s Tacos is famous for its Molcajetes which are served in a lava rock bowl and cooked to perfection. One of the most popular dishes is the Molcajete Carne which is grilled marinated steak, chicken, chorizo, chili rajas, salsa roja, and tequila. It’s perfect for sharing with friends and family as you enjoy the spirits of Mexican Independence Day celebration. For those with a BIG appetite, our Especiales De La Casa has something more palate satisfying including grilled chicken breast, skirt steak or fresh fish with yellow rice, black beans and plantains. Elotes/esquites is also a must-try – Mexican street corn with cotija cheese and chipotle aioli for a perfect sweet and smoky taste.
