Rosy's
3.6 / 5 (585 reviews)

Description

Rosy’s serves flavorful Jalisco-style Mexican fare with standout house hot sauce, tasty chips and salsa, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Many diners praise the drinks and generous portions, but experience is mixed: service ranges from attentive to slow or inattentive, and cleanliness and value (notably steak size/price) have drawn criticism. Vegetarians should note refried beans are cooked with lard. Overall, a popular local spot with delicious dishes and inconsistent service that can affect the dining experience.

Our waitress kept rolling her eyes at me when I asked a question about the menu. Very slow service. I was charged full price for a “to-go” cup for my soft drink. One person in our party was charged the exact same amount for single fajitas as the other person who ordered double fajitas, even though it was the same amount of food, and the meal only came with ONE tortilla. Even a single person eating fajitas needs at least 3 tortillas. When we asked for more tortillas, the server brought out ONE more. We had to ask for drink refills. The food was pretty good even though my order was not correct. I do not recommend this place.

Though food was good, service was awful. Valeria our server didn't bring cutlery and napkins until she came to pick the order. Then she brought the appetizer we ordered, until we were almost done dinning! Every time she passed in front our table we tried to call her, she just kept her eyes fixed as if she couldn't see us.The restroom was filthy, here's a picture of the trash inside.I'll NEVER come back.

Service was prompt and friendly. Jalisco-style Mexican food doesn’t have the spice flavors of Sonoran or Baja-styled Mexico food I am used to having grown up in Arizona. The food at Rosy’s was delicious. I only gave it a four star because their refried beans are still made with lard, so none of our vegetarian party could enjoy them.

My girlfriend and I are from Missouri, we are out here for her job and we decided to try this place…… DID NOT DISAPPOINT… food was amazing the service was top notch and the homemade hot sauce is absolutely delicious (burn you tongue out of your mouth) but so flavorful……. AND I was able to purchase some to take back with me……… SUCH A WONDERFUL PLACE
