    Posole

    I come to this place almost weekly. While it's a great place for good service and atmosphere, the food here is always amazing. Came today for some posole and it was on point! Sat at the bar to enjoy some football at the same time. I definitely recommend coming here.

    Can't be beat Mexican restaurant in the area. Easy parking, good/fast service, and lunch specials with fair prices and tasty food. I went with a classic cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Highly recommend. The portions are pretty big too so I had enough leftover for another lunch. They do have chip and salsa as you wait as well. It was quiet the day we went. Overall, you can't go wrong with a lunch here!

    My Son and I came in for a late lunch . They were pretty busy for 2:30 in the afternoon. We ordered a large and small Micheladas. They came quickly as did the complimentary warm and crisp tortilla chips and salsa . We ordered Carne Asada and A Tapatia( Chicken ) they were very good . The only issue I had that we didn't get our food in a timely manner. But, other than that it was a good dining experience.

    Chile Relleno Burrito, yum!!

    Had lunch with my friend today. When I got to El Rosal place was packed! Luckily my friend already got us a table. She said she was seated right away. Our waitress brought us chips and salsa and water soon after being seated. I enjoyed the salsa it had a good flavor. We didn't have to wait long before our waitress took our order. I ordered a Chile Relleno Burrito. Food came out at a perfect time. I was able to catch up with my friend before digging in. My plate was hot so that made me happy . Burrito was so good! I loved it!!!! The green sauce was absolutely delicious! And the portion was a great size I was only able to eat half . So yummy! I'm going to be craving this burrito for sure. My friend loved her food as well. I noticed they had a full bar in the restaurant. I'd love to come back and have a margarita.

    This is an update that I don't like making:( I, like so many of us Modesto folks have enjoyed so many meals here. My daughter & I have ordered the EXACT same thing for over a decade. burrito supreme dry chicken on side. never a problem. The salsa today was off for the first time ever. I enjoy mixing my salsa w/sour cream (that comes on burrito). We all have our little things. And the reason I say dry as it comes w/red sauce automatically. I let Lexi know the salsa was off and could I get some enchilada sauce instead? I mean ... it comes w/sauce anyway. She said sure no problem. She delivers a teeny weeny maybe .25 oz. Plastic cup w/the sauce. Now...here we go... this is where it turns the bill comes. A very unsweet gal named Lexi with a "I don't care rolling her eyes trying to inform me of the logistics of their entry system " type attitude brings bill and voila... that teeny sauce a whopping $1.35 . When I asked her about it.. she was so rude & condescending... I'm about 30 years her elder. She said she had to charge me. Wait... doesn't it come with sauce? She said yes. Well, I'm simply asking for my sauce now as the table salsa didn't taste right. You know....that weird feeling in your mouth it had turned acidic. Anyway, I asked for a mgr. as she said there was nothing she could do. goes away, comes back and it's off the bill. But not without a lecture that this is a one time deal. I said fine.. in the future, I'll just ask for my sauce on side up front just in case salsa off. no charge that way. It's silly and ridiculous. So, if you don't ask for sauce on the side up front, then you will get charged. I let her know with her snarky attitude I would be updating my review and her name would be the highlight. She did NOT care. And snarkily spelled her name for me with a smile. This is it folks... the younger generation. The cost of goods and trying to find good employees has ended with the gals we've seen working there for years. :( so sad. back to Standiford location. For a little bit. Hopefully she will move on by the time I give them my patronage.

    Went here today to have lunch w/ a friend after running some errands. I've never been here before so it was my first time but a friend that she works with recommened the restuarant so we thought we'd give it a tey since it was one of their favs. #1 lol def dont wait for seating bc I got there first and read a please wait to be seated sign and stood there like a dummy lol. Just seat yourself hahahah Anywayss, so once I got there the waitress was quick to bring salsa and a cabage dip. I thought this looked really authentic and I'm not a salsa person but my friend loved it and thought the cabage etc was great. It did take a few minutes for our waitress to come over but she was pretty busy since we did eat at everyones lunch time about. The resturant seemed pretty full for a Wednesday. Once we ordered I got a BLT and my friend got a bean burrito. My BLT w/ fries was $9.95 and her bean burrito a la carte was $3.95 I believe. For eating out I thought the prices were reasonable and it was a nice enviornment. It was pretty hot and having somewhere cool to sit down w/ good food w/ drinks..amazing!

    This Rock was in my Burrito Supreme! Like wtf!?!?

    My family and ai have been very good paying customers for about 20 years now. The food is good but last night I bit into a Carne Asada Green Sauce Wet Burrito Supreme and felt a huge pain in my mouth. I recently got dental implants in which costs tens of thousands of dollars. I bit into a ROCK! Yes, you heard me right, a Rock! Not a bone or anything like that, it is a legit piece of a rock! I now have to go into my Dentist to make sure I didn't crack any of my Dental implants! I am completely blown away and El ROSAL #2 has now lost my family and I business! Someone is a total incompetent worker and cook to somehow get a rock inside my burrito! Unacceptable and ridiculous on all levels! ‍

    Steak burrito...Yummm!!!

    First off, we found out about this restaurant through social media. We knew eventually we'd want to…read moretry it. Luckily, we were by the mall and made the VERY short 10-ish minute drive. Worth it! Walked into a very quiet, but colorful restaurant with only one other patron inside. The employees were so nice. We were told to pick anywhere, we were brought menus and instantly asked if we'd like anything to drink or if we wanted to look at the menu first... We asked for suggestions and the waitress offered the types of drinks they have. She brought us chips and salsa. The chips were homemade with a perfect crunch. The salsa was fresh, chunky and not spicy. The pepino cone limo aqua Fresca was the best aqua Fresca I've EVER had. Not too sweet at all and was SO REFRESHING. We also ordered an horchata and I was told that was just as good. The food... Where to start. We ordered an empanada and some quedabirria tacos. The empanada was HUGE, deliciously filling with fresh ingredients. It had great flavor. The quesabirria tacos were probably the best we've had. You order the amount you want. They are 5.99 each and oh so delicious. The meat tasted SO FRESH and flavorful. The creamy jalapeño salsa had a NICE kick to it. All meals come with radish and pickled onions as garnish, but eating them with the meal made it even more refreshing and delicious. They need more than one location, but until then we will be back! (Luckily, I heard they do catering.)

    Cool ambiance and good service…read more Ordered a couple of wet burritos to go; chicken and chile verde. Wife liked her burrito but felt that chicken was a little dry. My burrito was pretty good so we will need to come back to dine in and try some other items. Overall 4 stars.

    I come here pretty often, and it's always a solid choice for Mexican food in town. The food is…read moreconsistently good, the drinks are solid, and they easily have the best chips and salsa around. Service is always friendly and reliable, which keeps me coming back. My only real recommendation is to avoid sitting in the bar area if you're in a hurry. Service there tends to move a lot slower, so it can take a while to get your order in and get your food. The restaurant itself is a little run down, and the bathrooms could definitely use some attention, but the bar and outside area is decorated nicely and has a good atmosphere overall. All in all, it's a great local spot and one I keep going back to.

    Unfortunately, this was a really disheartening experience…read more We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally came out there was an issue with the size of the menudo bowl that had been offered to us. Instead of trying to resolve the situation or make it right, the manager, Noah, became argumentative and tried to debate what had been said rather than listen to the customer. After waiting that long, the last thing anyone expects is to feel like they have to argue just to be heard. What made it more disappointing was the lack of willingness to fix the issue or offer a solution. We came in hoping for a good meal and left feeling frustrated and unheard. It's sad because good service could have easily turned this into a positive experience. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. At the end of it he realized and came back and finally apologized.

The complimentary chips along with their salsa and beans paired amazingly well. I proceeded to get the choose three build your own combo with a beef taquito(pictured), green chicken enchilada, and a chicken burrito. The beef taquito was first of all huge, the biggest one that I have ever seen. It came with plenty of toppings including guacamole, sour cream, cheese, cabbage, and tomatoes. The burrito was decent, definetely could have used at least some more salsa, ended up being a filler on my plate. I saved the best for last, the classic enchilada was smothered in a delicious salsa that I dipped my other two items into.

I asked for grilled chicken and got stewed chicken with absolutely zero flavor. They said it came with guacamole and sour cream--neither were anywhere to be found. The "salad" was basically lettuce, pico, and whole beans with a super tiny portion overall. I added bell peppers and onions, maybe five pieces total, and they hit me with a $6 upcharge. Would've been nice to know that before so I could've said no thanks. Final price for this subpar salad? $25. I actually had to go back just to show them. The bar manager, Hamad (spelling), tried to help by adding more chicken and then told me the sour cream and guac were "under the shell." Really? Who hides condiments under the shell? Total waste of time and money. I'm done. No more chances.
