Located in the heart of Rockville Centre, Dirty Taco + Tequila RVC serves up an unforgettable culinary experience that elevates traditional taco fare to exciting new heights. This vibrant taco restaurant masterfully blends bold, fresh flavors with inventive twists, creating a menu that is as diverse as it is delicious. Whether you’re craving street tacos, shareable sides, or refreshing craft cocktails, Dirty Taco + Tequila RVC promises a dining adventure that engages all your senses.

The cuisine here is a lively fusion of Mexican classics and global influences, delivering bold, carefully balanced flavors that satisfy and surprise. Among the standout dishes, the signature Dirty Taco is a must-try — packed with rich, savory fillings and topped with fresh, crunchy garnishes that burst with flavor. Seafood lovers can’t miss the Shrimp Tacos or the delicately spiced Ahi Tuna Taco, while fans of bold, spicy notes will find joy in the Asian Style Nachos and the Vietnamese Shrimp Taco, which bring an eclectic global twist to familiar favorites.

The street taco selection is impressive, ranging from the smoky and sweet Jamaican Jerk Chicken with pineapple salsa to the crispy and tangy Kung Pao Chicken tacos, which are layered beautifully with crunchy wontons and a zingy peanut crumble. Vegetarians and vegans are also treated to thoughtfully crafted options like Carmelized Brussels Sprouts topped with sweet Thai chili aioli and a hearty Vegan Chorizo taco made with refried beans and cilantro crema.

Sides complement the vibrant entrees with equally creative offerings—imagine hand-cut Mexican Street Fries tossed in a secret house blend and queso fresco or the sweet and savory Sweet Plantains drizzled with lime crema. The Cold Peanut Noodles add an unexpected but welcome punch of Thai-inspired flavors that perfectly round out your meal.

Dirty Taco + Tequila RVC isn’t just about amazing food; the bar features a tantalizing lineup of cocktails that are as skillfully crafted as the dishes. The Watermelon Basil Margarita and Spicy Blood Orange Margarita offer refreshing, nuanced flavor profiles that excite your palate, while the classic margarita and the exotic Watermelon Margarita are perfect for those who appreciate balance and tradition in their sip. Beverage lovers will also enjoy the creative mix of coconut tequila and craft beers, delivering an elevated dining experience.

    We had an incredible experience here! Johnny was our server & he was awesome!! Great people, good vibes all around…the ceviche was amazing, the breakfast tacos were , the dulce de leche French toast was out of this world! And you can’t go wrong with the drinks- from the Coronita to the coconut tequila, everything was so yummy we’ll be back!!

    Been to this location several times; the margaritas are delicious, referring to the watermelon basil and mango flavors. Their Sunday brunch offering is amazing as well and very affordable. $1 mimosas with your meal! The churro pancakes and tres leches french toast are my go-tos, so good! Our mimosa glasses never went empty, hence to say service is always very attentive and friendly. Nice addition to the RVC area.

    The best quesadilla and watermelon margaritas ever. Try the Korean short rib quesadilla. You won’t regret it!

    We’ve been going to Dirty Taco in Wantagh for years and love it! On the way back from the city, we decided to stop by the Rockville Centre location for the first time and it was amazing. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive, and we met the new manager, Adonis, who was really nice and polite. We felt welcomed the moment we walked in, and he even checked on us before we finished eating. We truly felt like family here. We had the dirty wings, nachos, and the new special duck buns, everything was absolutely delicious. Always a great time. Dirty Taco Rockville Centre, you’ve got a customer for life!

    Absolutely love this place. Food is always good Drinks are always good. It's always a vibe. The service is the best from every single employee in the restaurant. And they treat my daughter so great (she has special needs), it's always a smile and a little extra something when they see her.. Love this , love these people..

    I have been to multiple Dirty Taco locations and this is the first time I've visited the RVC location. I love the size of this location as you have much more room compared to the Wantagh location. However, much like the Wantagh location, parking is a little difficult. There is street parking and a parking lot that requires either the downloading of yet another parking app or coins for the meter that only lets you pay up to two hours. Thankfully, he was able to break change for us. Other than that hiccup, we loved that waiter and he checked on our group consistently. As always, the food and drinks were always delicious and delivered to our table promptly! I truly cannot get enough of Dirty Taco! One of the best restaurant chains on the island when it comes to pricing and quality

    We love this place. We are coming here for years, but seriously we came last night on a Friday night they had live music, a really nice young lady who was singing with her guitar that was so unique and nice to see finally here in this area because Nobody does it!!! Thank you for such a special experience, Our waiter David was absolutely amazing and the young gentleman with the tattoos who we forgot his name is an absolute gem. Really knows how to take care of all the customers and we were welcomed by him very warmly, never like before even though it was always still amazing. But last night felt very special…we felt like family!! We love coming back here with our family and friends and we will continue to come back because they always take care of us. Thank you Dirty Taco!!!

    Johnny gave us great service. He was patient in helping pick a great selection since this was my first time. The dirty nachos are a must-have to start. The Brussels sprouts taco is a great option. The mojito salmon and the Vietnamese shrimp taco were very tasty. The Bang Bang shrimp taco is nice and spicy .
