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.
