This restaurant offers a delightful dining experience before or after a performance at BAM. It’s a few blocks from BAM. There is outdoor seating. We started with spicy guacamole while the mixed ceviche was a hit with our granddaughter, who couldn't get enough of it (it wasn't quite to my taste). Our granddaughter enjoyed her steak tacos, and my pork tostada—which came as a pair—was delicious. My husband's mixed tacos were also delicious. The atmosphere is charming and the staff are attentive. We recommend this place for a delicious meal in a cozy space.

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.
