Rosita’s Mexican Restaurant

Went here tonight to treat my disabled mom to a nice birthday dinner. I got our table and told them I am waiting for her to arrive on the access a ride. That was the last time we saw our server until my mom showed up about 40 minutes later. No drink refill, natha. In the meantime, we watched a table walk out because of the wrong things being brought to them, and the service… Finally my mom get’s there, we order, we’re good to go. My husband’s hamburger (yes he got a basic hamburger at a Mexican restaurant, he wasn’t in the mood for chili) was so rare, I think it mooo’d. Being so hungry, and not wanting to send it back he ate it. My smothered burrito was on point, and my mom’s food was great too. Then we order the fried ice cream. Bad choice, it was so nasty I spit it out. If anyone knows me, I am not a picky eater and will pretty much eat anything. The breading was mushy on some parts, and some very chewy. Think of soggy old cornflakes. The ice cream tasted like it had freezer burn. I sent it back, and got the nastiest look from our server. I wasn’t mean about it, I get it shit happens, but I’m not paying for something so gross. I know she’s not the one cooking back there, but apparently I hit a nerve with her. As she went to take it off the table so fast and abrupt it fell off the plate towards my husband. It just seems like a bunch of very young kids running it there. The food tasted good, but they need a little lesson on serving, and not crowding around the entry to the backroom on their phones…

Do not use their catering service. Lissette Gallegos will do nothing but try to steal your money right out from under you. We used their catering services for a wedding. We paid the invoice in full and then our guest list grew a little so we added on more food. She sent me a new invoice with a balance for more then our original order. I couldn’t figure out why it was so much then I noticed she tried to not credit us for half of the original invoice we already paid for. She didn’t offer us anything to make it right. Good thing we caught that. It doesn’t stop there. We had to pay a $ 150 deposit for linens. We returned the linens to her within her 72 hour timeframe and we are still fighting to get it back. She refunded us through Paypal and then canceled the refund. We have spent countless hours on the phone with PayPal and still have yet to get our refund back. She refused to do a conference call to PayPal… hmm wonder why??? Don’t trust her, if you do use them get copies of everything because I guarantee we are not the first people she has tried to rip off.

Been going to Rositas for years… When it –was on 84^th… Have to say each time I go back it gets better… Salsa is spicy and delicious. Crispy Chile Rellenos… Yummmmy!!!

Like many of us, I’ve eaten at a lot of mexican food restaurants so I’m familiar with the ‘art of the up charge’. These guys take it to a whole new level. I spoke with the owner about my concerns and he actually laughed at me.
I order a ground beef burrito — $ 3.65. Smothered with green chili — 1.15 extra. No problems to this point. The waitress then asks, «would you like cheese inside or on top»? I decide on top.
My two buddies each order the Super Burrito — $ 9.85. They are big boys and were interested in a ten dollar burrito. Still no issues.
The food arrive quickly, my burrito coming out first. It’s sizable… and it has beans, so I ask the waitress if this is my burrito. She says yes, and offers to bring one with no beans — I decline, because I’m a pretty easy-​going diner.
Next by buddy’s Super Burritos arrive — they are the exact same size as mine so we inquire as to the difference. The waitress sheepishly replies, «there is no difference… I generally try and tell people that, but they order it anyway». My friend then retorts, «you never mentioned that to me». Silence.
We finish our meals… not bad food, but not good enough that I would frequent the place if they weren’t rip-​off artists. Our checks come and I notice the $ 1.15 up charge for cheese (my son also ordered a bean and cheese burrito (cheese on top) — $ 1.15 up charge).
Some things just rub me wrong and this did, so I decided to do what I normally do in situations where the waitress follows owners instructions to deceive patrons — I take the $ 2.30 out of the tip. Problem solved and no Unilocal review necessary… It was the owners attitude that prompted this review. My hope is I save 1 diner or a couple hundred thousand diners the consternation of having to deal with this situation and an owner that truly does not understand the power of being honest.

Here, ye, here ye, Awful dry food. This place is no good. Really just went here because we live across the street. Never again. Also salsa tasted like marinara sauce.

Well back again, a month later. Last time we had 14 people, this time 18. What an awesome meal! I had my usual, Navajo egg rolls and my wife had menudo with added carnita’s. The menudo was very simillar to my homemade version, it was a pretty good size bowl and really had great flavor. The tripe was cooked perfectly in my opinion. I can’t begin to describe the deliciousness of that Navajo egg roll. It’s egg roll wrappers filled with seasoned ground beef, potatoes, freshly diced jalapeño’s and onions, then deep fried. Served with beans, rice, a cup of green chili, and a little bit of rabbit food as garnish. My brother and sister-​in-​law had the Pablito (stuffed sopapilla) with shredded beef and extra cheese. Now I know what I’m getting next time, YUP, stuffed sopapilla. They were a thing of beauty! This place even serves fried bologna with eggs and potatoes. The waiter was awesome, with that many people he keeped his cool and provided us with great food and excellent service. They gave us separate bills for 5 different families which most places have a heart attack over. Can’t wait to go back for that Pablito! Good job Rosita’s.
