We had a great experience overall. While my wife’s food was cold in the middle, the staff handled the situation promptly and professionally, which we appreciated. One standout moment was their attention to detail. I had noted on the OpenTable app that it was her birthday, and they not only read the note but acknowledged her special day without me having to say a word to the staff. That personal touch made the experience memorable. Despite the small hiccup, we would definitely recommend this place, especially for special occasions.

Rosalita's is a good local Mexican restaurant. There is a bar scene for those who see that vibe, and a family section as well. Prices at Rosalita's are very reasonable. They have a nice variety of cocktails and a large menu. Portions are large and the food is very tasty.
