ROCCO’S TACOS & TEQUILA BAR PARTNERS WITH GUY FIERI FOUNDATION TO HOST HURRICANE DISASTER RELIEF FUNDRAISER, NOVEMBER 18 IN BOCA RATON

Sponsored By

November 18 @ 5:30 pm - 10:00 pm

Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar, Florida’s go-to destination for authentic Mexican cuisine in a lively atmosphere, is partnering with the Guy Fieri Foundation to host a disaster relief fundraiser benefiting hospitality workers impacted by Hurricanes Helen and Milton through the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association. The event, hosted by Rocco Mangel and Guy Fieri at Rocco’s Tacos in The Shops at Boca Center, will feature interactive brand pop-ups, live entertainment from DJ Irie, and a live auction offering exclusive items.

The event will be open to the public on the expansive outdoor patio, welcoming guests on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees can enjoy craft cocktails, a walk-up taco bar, and pop-up tents from brands like Santo Tequila, Tropical Distillers, and J.F Haden’s with a portion of all food and beverage sales directly benefiting the foundation.

For those looking to show extra support, VIP tickets are available for $250 through Eventbrite. These tickets include access to a private indoor VIP area, an exclusive menu crafted by Guy Fieri, specialty gift bags, Santo Tequila cocktails, live auction, and an intimate Q&A session with Rocco and Guy.

“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. 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.\” says Guy Fieri.

Rocco’s Tacos is a collective of 10 locations across Florida, all under the visionary leadership of Rocco Mangel (West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach Gardens, Orlando, Naples, Sarasota, Tampa, Delray Beach, and Fort Lauderdale International Airport). Celebrating over 15 years of setting the gold standard in casual Mexican cuisine and fostering a loyal following in the South Florida community, Mangel emphasizes the importance of giving back to the communities he serves. His commitment to success and the expansion of his empire extends beyond his restaurants, as he is also a devoted father and a successful philanthropist.

“Through the years I\’ve worked with many of South Florida’s finest charitable organizations and nothing makes me happier than giving back. When my good friend Guy approached me to give back to those in need in Florida, I jumped at the opportunity. We are here for all our neighbors,” says Rocco Mangel.
Rocco\’s Tacos & Tequila Bar is open seven days a week, offering lunch, dinner, happy hour, and weekend brunch. Weekly highlights include Happy Hour, Mezcal Mondays, Late Night Happy Hour, Taco & Tequila Tuesdays, and an All-You-Can-Drink brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
