I really enjoy the tamarind shrimp, fried potato taco appetizer, Oaxaca relleno, and aguachile. Their entrees are very tasty! I am from Mexico and I love to come here for a more authentic meal than what you usually get at Mexican restaurants.

Rosa's has stepped it up again! We choose to drive from Brighton to eat here often. They have added oysters to the menu along with many other new choices. The oysters were excellent. The new guacamole choices are amazing!

I’ve tried many “Mexican” restaurants throughout the years and this came as a pleasant surprise. Came in not expecting much but was relieved to find a well put together plate and served with quickness. If you’re like me and don’t like spending on disappointments then you’ll be relieved to find this isn’t one.

Great food and drinks. Service was a bit challenging as it is a very authentic Mexican restaurant. Don't judge the food however by the appearance of the building. Guac is freshly made.

I’ve been here probably 20 times over the last six months; it has become my go-to restaurant in the area. Staff are always friendly and attentive and the food is always INCREDIBLE. Don’t listen to the mediocre reviews. If you want a huge Tex-Mex burrito that lasts you three meals and is stuffed with cheese, this may not be the place for you. But if you want a fresh, authentic, delicious experience, this is that restaurant. We’ve tried many of the items on the menus, and they’ve all been amazing. The mojo cilantro rice is the best rice I’ve had in my life, and I can’t even pick a favorite item because they’re ALL. SO. GOOD. You have to come and try the food here, you won’t regret it!

We have been here a handful of time and it has been an enjoyable experience each time. Margaritas are wonderful- they have unique flavors/combinations and the menu seems new or tweaked each time we visit, which is fun. The tacos we had tonight were fantastic. The plating and presentation was great, waitress delivered everything fairly quickly, and flavor was perfect. Enjoy!

We stumbled upon this fantastic restaurant while doing some shopping in the area. Needless to say we will be back to try the rest of the menu. My girlfriend ordered chicken enchiladas in a creamy chipotle sauce. I ordered the Mole Madre served with a well seasoned chicken breast on a bed of perfectly cooked rice and beans. The mole was fantastic with excellent flavors. The crispy/soft plantains and the pickled red onions was a nice touch. Also the chips and salsas are super tasty. The plating looks professional and appetizing. You can tell the cooks take pride in their work. The decor inside the restaurant feels kind of coastal and vibrant. Nice place to sit and enjoy. My only criticism is my chicken was a little, and a mean a little overcooked. It wasn't enough to ruin the dish or make me not want to come back. I'm recommending this place from here on out for anyone who lives or is near the area. Great work everyone!

First time visiting, and I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was somewhat empty for a Saturday afternoon, but we attended immediately. The art decor is phenomenal. Their menu has a twist to certain recipes. We ordered the enchiladas adobada and carne asada. I'm not sure if the enchiladas were made with flour tortillas, but it tasted like it. Their pickled onion topping was awesome. Highly recommend visiting
