    Best tacos in Florida. Pick chicken, pork, or beef, you can’t go wrong. The spicy salsa has just the right amount of spice. Service was excellent. Delish!

    Rock The Guac 🥑 Boy Boy Boy… I have some good memories here. By Far One Of The Best Spots To Go. Ron I Love You My Brotha

    Food is pretty good in general. It is a little expensive. The steak was not good, super hard and chewy. The ground beef was good.

    Shoutout to the guys working Jose and Jonathan. Very friendly and professional. The atmosphere was great. If you ever go to coco beach make sure you stop in this place. You won’t regret it. Keep up the great work guys.

    We went Monday June 15 and really enjoyed ourselves. The girl working the counter was so genuinely nice it was refreshing. We spoke a lot because my family was the only people there at the time. But I'm going to be honest. The steps are very small and I didn't see the second one on the way out and I fell and broke my foot falling off of it. Please be careful, I certainly wasn't.

    Great staff with amazing energy and love for their jobs, food was spectacular some of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been too and the inside looked great very authentic

    The food was gas and the people where nice andddd the trash bin was funny 20/10 would recommend

    I haven’t even eaten here in like 6 months but today I found myself wishing there was a chipotle closer than Merritt island and it just reminded me of the absolute disdain I have of this place. I don’t even leave reviews like that but every time I think of this place and it’s terrible portion sizes, the, what seems like, pieces of wood in the bowls that hopefully are just really hard rice or something. Not to mention how flavorless everything is. The most disrespectful thing is this guy has the audacity to charge MORE than chipotle when everything from quality to price is miles below. 100% a tourist trap. Do better.

    Food was amazing, was very generous in portions, employees were extremely kind. I am from Texas but I come back here every time I visit. Lots of vegetarian options.

    We stopped here for quick dinner based on the reviews. It didn't disappoint! Carrie was great explaining the menu options, very friendly. Everything is fresh and yummy. We will be back next time we are in Cape Canaveral.

    Wow. If aliens were to finally try to take over earth, i would immediately hop into my truck to travel the 2 hrs it takes me to get to this restaurant. Now thinking logically, i would cover alot of ground in those 2 hrs (approx. 104 miles) ill probably get seen by aliens in that time. But my dedication to get my hands on one of these tasty burritos will give the aliens a run for their mars money. I will max my truck out to cover as much ground as fast as possible (~125mph) IF i go undetected by aliens i can get there in about 49.9 min, with their fast service, i can probably get a burrito in my possession in about 51 minutes. However if i do get detected by said aliens, ill have to hit a tunnel somewhere along the way in hopes they wont be able to abduct me and my truck. Once theyre confused where i went, ill mash the gas out of the tunnel and swerve side to side so their ufo wont be able to get a solid beam on my truck. Hopefully then ill be able to make it to Rock the Guac, where i can feast before all ends. Plan C.. if all goes bad and they capture me, i have full faith i can talk them into trying the best spot for a human burrito, and possibly make world peace and end all problems over some burritos.. or perhaps they prefer bowls. We may never know, but this place is flipping AMAZING!

    Worth the stop. Thanks for the great food and service!

  • March 13, 2026

    Been here several times and rely on them as an option. They do not adhere to their hours and they close early—leaving us hanging. Do not recommend for later than 8pm.

  • March 8, 2026

    Got the burrito bowl for take out. Spanish rice, chicken, tomato, corn and guac. Absolutely amazing. I need to add a salsa to the bowl next time.

  • March 8, 2026

    They used canned chicken for their bowls.. Not grilled nor roasted outta of a can

  • February 18, 2026

    Nice vibes and ok food.

  • February 17, 2026

    Found this little gem on a trip to Cocoa Beach. Fun & lively atmosphere, great & delicious food selection. Good value for your money with large portions of fresh food. The staff was over the top nice- super friendly and very helpful. They were very patient and accommodating with our large group.

  • February 14, 2026

    I ordered 6 chicken tacos, 3 with soft shell 3 with the hard shell. The grease or juices from the chicken made the hard shell tacos break apart and soggy. The last hard taco was so bad we threw it out. The 3 soft tacos were good, just a lot of dripping from the juices.

  • February 8, 2026

    The food was 10/10 for sure! Great quality, great price! Came in on a cruise from New England and the woman behind the counter was friendly and helped us out with our questions about the menu and allergens. Definitely check out this place when passing! Also, great music and decorations.

  • February 5, 2026

    Bowl was a great full of flavor and the price was worth it.

  • January 31, 2026

    The food was authentic and delicious the location was great. And the staff was friendly

  • January 26, 2026

    My favorite place to eat guac!

  • January 18, 2026

    Absolutely love this place. The food is always fresh, the staff always attentive and nice. If you’re looking for a cheap burrito go to sucky Chipotle, because here you may pay a little more, but it is well worth it!
