“When Hurricanes Helen and Milton tore through the great state of Florida, there was no question that the Guy Fieri Foundation had to get involved and help in some way,” Guy Fieri says. “And of course, my buddy Rocco was my first call. Together, we’re throwin’ a big party to support our friends in the hospitality business so come on down for a very special Mexican menu, drink some great tequila and lend a helping hand all along the way.”
Rocco’s Tacos is a network of 10 locations throughout Florida, all guided by the innovative vision of Mangel, with sites in West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach Gardens, Orlando, Naples, Sarasota, Tampa, Delray Beach and at the Fort Lauder ale International Airport.

We are here for all our neighbors,” says Rocco Mangel.
