Rositas Mexican Store. - Ames

The restaurant is currently closed due to a fire, but they are working on remodeling the building.

The tacos are very good, especially the chicken ones. The staff is also very friendly.

I had the shredded beef tacos and they were delicious. The restaurant is clean and the staff are very friendly. I will definitely be returning here.

I'd come in a few times to see what the store had or grab something small, but one evening I decided to eat here for a light dinner with my family. The hours posted on the front door said they closed at 8 or 9pm, I don't recall which. It was around 6 or 7pm when we went in. The young man working the restaurant portion did not seem to want to be there and I had to repeatedly insist of receiving all items that came with the order. My dude, it's not my fault you put the rice away before closing. It's not my fault there's a giant sign above the steam table that says all meals come with rice. It's not my fault that you put away the salsas. Message loud and clear I won't return.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Iowa, located right behind McDonald's and next to the printing shop on Duff Rd. It's a great place to grab a bite to eat. Be sure to check it out!
