My review has two parts. First, avoid using Uber Eats if you can. They completely mishandled my order and made no effort to resolve the issue. It's nearly impossible to reach a live person, and the whole experience was incredibly frustrating. Second, I can't say enough about Manny, the GM at Rosa Madera. Even though the problem wasn't the restaurant's fault, he handled the situation with genuine care, professionalism, and integrity. He made me feel like my experience truly mattered, and that's something you don't forget. My order was so completely wrong that he immediately knew exactly which order it was. He took ownership of a situation he didn't create, and that's the mark of exceptional leadership. Rosa Madera is fortunate to have Manny. Because of the way he treated me, they've earned a loyal customer. Oh, and the food was incredible! We had the camarones zarandeados and the queso fundido, and both were absolutely amazing. I HIGHLY recommend Rosa Madera. I sincerely hope Manny receives the recognition he deserves for representing Rosa Madera so well. Great managers make a lasting impression, and he certainly did that! read more

My family and I went on a Saturday night and we had Hector as our waiter. He was very polite, attentive, and consistently checking in on us. I highly recommend asking for him. The food is great, the ambience is amazing, and Hector was marvelous! read more

I love coming to Rosa Madera. Victor our server, quickly seated us at a booth, which is our preference and was very helpful throughout our visit. The queso Birria was excellent as always! My husband tried something different and the shrimp were huge and the sauce was excellent! Definitely 5 stars! read more

First of all -- this place is gorgeous! The food was delicious and service was attentive. 5 stars for Victor. He really took care of us. I had the Tacos de Papas Con Carnitas. Victor said they were delicious and he was not wrong! My husband had the combo plate with mole flautas, pastor sopes and enchiladas verde. He loved it! The table also got a Mar y Tierra, which was also very good! Would definitely come back here again! read more

The fried, cute, flower shaped tortilla chips were delicious and the salsa served with it was also quite good. I wish I could remember which dishes we ordered but unfortunately the menu names escaped my mind. The server, a friendly young man arrived with a smile and patiently answered my questions regarding the menu. I had a pineapple horchata. It was served in a terra-cotta tumbler. I will definitely order it again because it was not too sweet and the pineapple flavor was prominent. I didn't need a refill. Hubby ordered fish which I tasted and will order for myself next time. I felt very hungry so ordered the five enchiladas plate. It came with a sprinkling of fresh cabbage, sides of rice and puréed pinto beans. It also had a whole, roasted jalapeño and roasted baby onion. There was a reasonable amount of sauce which was beautifully and delicately spiced. It made the dish quite easy to manage as I didn't have to move through the sauce to get the right amount and added to the texture without overpowering the dish. Of course, I took home leftovers and enjoyed them again the following day. The flaw in our service were the plates and serving ware. Many of the unique and pretty terracotta plates and bowls were chipped and cracked. I only noticed it when I'd finished eating. This keeps me from giving a five star review. The restaurant is cavernous but not crowded. Initially, I made the mistake of sitting under the stereo speaker but when I moved to a more comfortable chair at the table, the music was not too loud. The artwork is well done and the atmosphere is spacious and well appointed. The tables and chairs are the same as you would find in many restaurants in mexico - leather and strong, dark wood - comfortable. I will go again but next time I will ask that they check the plates for cracks and chips and not serve me on them. It's especially important because I am aware how easily one can become ill from eating bad food but cracked, chipped and unclean dishes and other utensils can harbor many health problems. Dear Rosa Madera, please instruct your employees on best handling practices for your beautiful food and service ware. I want to add that the restaurant was very clean - tables, chairs and floors - even the broken plates - all spotless. read more

Where do I start? No host or hostess up front for 5 minutes. The waiter never even made eye contact and locked his face with the ticket and mumbled. I asked if I could get a shredded chicken taco. "No shredded chicken". Ok, shredded beef. "No shredded beef".... Uh, it's on the menu. Blank stare! He recommended a Al Pastor and it was so fatty I couldn't eat it. The bathroom tissue roll was on the floor and the floor was filthy. Health department should pay them a visit. I'm absolutely stunned and saddened. I went there when they had first opened and it was great. This place took a serious nose dive. Could just be that this building is cursed. read more

This place came recommended by a friend and it definitely did not disappoint! It's beautiful inside! The food was soooo goood! A little spicy for me; but not so spicy that I stopped eating. I ordered the mole enchiladas and they not only looked beautiful, but the flavors were spot on! The tortillas are homemade and they were stuffed full of chicken. For dessert, we had the fried ice cream and it too was not only beautifully presented, but it tasted so good too! The service was exceptional! We were a large group of 12 and I am happy to say that we all enjoyed our dinner together. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

THE FOOD HERE IS INCREDIBLE. I was taken back by how great this place is. After hearing some coworkers rave about this place, I decided to take my wife for dinner on a Friday night and they were PACKED!! Luckily the bar area wasn't busy so we got seated immediately there. Service here was great and our server was on it. The menu here is extensive with a great variety of items. My wife and I decided to share our meal and orders the camarones Zanendaeros and a combo plate with Enchiladas Verdes and a Chilli relleno and I kid you not our food was a 10/10. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE DISHES. Overall, we can't wait to come back and try more item off their menu. Great vibe, great food, decent prices what more could you want. Make sure to keep Rosa Madera in mind the next time your going out for dinner, you won't regret coming here. Till next time! read more

We had a very interesting experience here. We went on a weekend night and discovered that there is live music. Okay, cool, that's fun. There was a wait for tables, but they text when your table is ready, so we were able to wait in the car. Also great. We were seated RIGHT next to the band. We were a little bummed that this meant we couldn't talk, but oh well. They went on a break right after we sat down and the amplifier they had been using starts BLASTING recorded music. Now, mind you, my spouse and I are big concert goers. We've been seeing hard core bands in small clubs for over 25 years. We are accustomed to loud music. But there is loud and then there is ear damaging noise. That's what this was. No one should be seated this close to the band. But there weren't other tables. I put napkins in my ears and hoped it would go quickly. There were large parties with small children everywhere. I'm a mom. I know it's hard to get kids to sit still sometimes. But there seemed to be no effort to get kids to sit still. They were running all over. At one point a kid almost knocked over our table. About 20 minutes later the band came back and it was so loud my whole body shook. No amount of napkin in my ear could make this better. We left. Why did I still give this 3 stars? The food was excellent. Our server was great. They shouldn't be subjecting her to this noise either. How she manages, I have no idea. I would come back. On a weekday. For lunch. read more

Food is only okay. It's expensive for what it is. They bring you those puff chips duros with tapatio, not a big fan when at a restaurant, instead of traditional chips and salsa. It's very loud and on the weekend it's like a club with all kinds of people that you would know from high school. So beware if you don't want to run into that crowd. read more

We have been back a couple times since my last review. I feel like the food has gotten better each time. The quesobirria tacos were delicious. Probably my new favorite thing on the menu. My husband had the potato tacos and really enjoyed them as well. Bar service is always great. Well margarita wasn't my husband's favored so he went back to the Catarino which he loves. Music started at 7. It can get loud but, it creates a fun vibe. read more

We stopped by Rosa Madera in Camarillo on a Sunday afternoon after a morning of shopping and decided to give it a try. I had actually been to this location years ago when it was a pub and later another Mexican restaurant, so I was already familiar with the space and thought it would be fun to see what they'd done with it. Right when we walked in, we were greeted by a really friendly hostess and seated immediately, which was a great start. The restaurant itself is beautiful, modern, colorful, and inviting without feeling overdone. They also had live mariachi music, which added a fun and lively energy to the atmosphere. Shortly after sitting down, our waiter came by for drinks and brought out duritos with hot sauce and lemon juice instead of the usual chips and salsa. If you've never had duritos before, they are those light, crunchy Mexican chips made from flour that puff up when fried. I honestly thought that was such a fun touch and a nice change from the standard setup you see everywhere else. For drinks, my partner ordered a beer and I tried the Hot Papacito cocktail, which I really enjoyed. It was flavorful, refreshing, and honestly one of my favorite parts of the meal. I ordered the asada nachos, and we also shared another entrée of sopes de asada and birria. Overall, the food was decent. Nothing bad at all, just not especially memorable. The rice was your pretty standard Mexican rice, totally fine, but nothing that really stood out. Honestly, most people compare restaurant rice to homemade family recipes anyway, so that's always a tough category to win. The refried beans were probably my least favorite part. The flavor itself was okay, but the texture was very thin and smooth, almost like a soup. I personally prefer refried beans with a little more thickness and texture. The biggest downside for us was the setup for the live mariachi music. The musicians were talented and entertaining, but some sections of the restaurant felt a little too small for the volume and size of the group. At times it was difficult to hear each other across the table. I think the experience would flow a little better if the mariachi setup was kept more toward the open side of the restaurant where the music could fill the space more naturally. Overall, Rosa Madera has a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, fun drinks, and a lively vibe. The food was okay, but the experience as a whole was enjoyable. I'd give it about 4 stars and would still recommend trying it at least once if you're in the area and looking for a fun spot with live music and cocktails. read more

This spot is definitely a 10/10! Tucked away in Camarillo CA, this gem of a restaurant is an amazing find. Let's start with the decor.. the interior is a mixture of rustic and new, with a heavy Mexican influence. Great spot for a date, family outing or hanging out with friends. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable - with great suggestions. The food... the food is heavenly. Like mana from mount Olympus. From the carne asada to the birria tacos and everything in between... this is one of my new favorite stops! Do yourself a favor amigo, and stop by here and try some of these delicious dishes. read more

Been waiting a long time to try this spot because of all the hype and reviews from friends -- and we finally made it! As expected, the line was HUGE and it was extremely crowded. I highly recommend making a reservation. We had a party of 8 and booked for 7pm. They did let us know over the phone that the entire party had to be present to be seated, which we completely understood. Everyone arrived by 6:45, we checked in around 6:40, and ended up being seated at about 7:30pm. It was super busy, so it was understandable. Once seated, they greeted us and brought out chicharrones with Valentina -- which I loved. We love a cultural restaurant moment They offer a lot of traditional Mexican dishes and a detailed drink menu with plenty of options. I ordered a cucumber and lemon agua fresca and it was delicious -- not too sweet, just perfectly balanced. For appetizers, we got the trio (chimichanga, tacos de tinga, and al pastor nachos) and that was a solid 10/10. So flavorful and definitely a great choice for the table. For my main dish, I ordered the molcajete. It was good, but not the best I've had. I think it needed a bit more seasoning and flavor. I'd rate it a 6/10 -- not bad, just not amazing. The only downside was our waitress. She didn't seem to be having the best day and came off a little irritated, especially with the size of our party and some of the questions we asked. It wasn't the most pleasant service experience, but we didn't let that ruin the night. Now let's talk ambiance -- 10/10. They had a live group singing old-school Mexican jams, which I absolutely loved because it brings back so many memories. The inside is beautiful with gorgeous murals all around. The vibe is definitely there. I would come back, maybe with a smaller group, and try different dishes to see if something else stands out more. Overall, I'd still recommend checking it out for yourself! read more

Food was amazing! The carnitas melt with asada fries upgrade is such a unique menu item. It didn't feel too heavy or fatty like it was cooked with a tub of grease. I appreciate that. Service was friendly and there were a couple of Birthday celebrations in the restaurant that night. The staff makes quite the deal with lights, sombrero and the whole shebang! Fun atmosphere The restaurant was very pretty and classy. Date night worthy for sure. read more

Beautifully decorated. Music choice matched the vibe, not too loud but you can hear every word. Victor was our server and he was very attentive, we never felt like we had to look for him. We had a great experience, the cocktails were delicious. The food was good, a little on the spicier side but still enjoyable. Especially adding the amazing home made tortillas. Camarillo lacks good Mexican food, we will definitely add to our rotation. Thank you, Victor! read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant because the food was honestly very good. We visited for the first time during the week and, while the food was great, the service was disappointing. Our server never made eye contact and spent the entire interaction looking down at the device he was using to enter the order. Instead of greeting us or asking if we were ready to order, he simply said, "What do you want to order?" and "What do you want to drink?" in a way that felt rude and unwelcoming. To make matters worse, my horchata was served in a broken cup. The drink cost around $6, and the cup was cracked enough that it was leaking and spilling. When I politely asked if I could get a different cup because it was broken, the server looked irritated and acted annoyed that I even brought it up. I wasn't complaining about the drink itself I only asked because it was literally spilling due to the damaged cup. We decided to give the restaurant another chance and returned on Father's Day. Unfortunately, we had a similar experience with a different server. She was not friendly, seemed annoyed, and was not attentive to our table. We asked for lemon and never received it until we mentioned it to another employee at the front. Even after that, her attitude remained rude and unhelpful. It's disappointing because the food is genuinely good, but customer service is a big part of the dining experience. We gave the restaurant two chances and experienced poor service both times from different employees. Great food, but the customer service needs significant improvement. read more

My cousins wanted to celebrate their birthday here. We arrived at 11, and even though they were supposed to be open, they didn't open until about 10 minutes after. Once inside, we were able to sit anywhere we wanted. Unfortunately, some of the tables were not clean, and we had to ask them to clean them before we sat down. Needless to say, it started off rocky. Once our waiter arrived, he made up for all the mishaps. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. I couldn't decide on which drink to order, but with his help, I decided to try "Amor Eterno," but instead of vodka, I asked for tequila. I enjoyed my drink; it was delicious. My sister and I shared a molcagete, which was a pretty large amount of food to share. The molcagete comes with rice, beans, and handmade tortillas. The food was delicious, and everyone was saying how much they enjoyed eating here. The restaurant is so beautiful; I love their decor. I especially loved their artificial trees with red roses on them. It's also a very large restaurant that can accommodate large groups. Overall, we had a great experience here and would go back. read more

I just wanna say that this location has an incredible staff. They were so helpful getting us accommodated for a birthday party last night with a large party. We were able to sneak a cake in that we made. Our server was incredibly tentative impatient with us. I cannot believe how quickly we were able to get our food orders and how fast it came out appetizers and entrées. Everything was so delicious. I recommend trying everything I think the Carne Asada of fries and the chorizo cheese dip were the stars of the night, though for our table. It's so cute inside. The music can get a little loud, but it doesn't last all night when it's live. It's actually a pretty cool set up that they've got plenty of space to dance if you want to. The food was delicious. Service was incredibly fast. We will be back. We had a splendid time and were very grateful for everything. Thanks a million to Fernando and Manny for helping out with the cake! read more

Rosa Madera has a beautiful ambience and seems always busy. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. They charge $14.00 for the guacamole, and it didn't taste fresh at all. My friend ordered a small side of sauces and was charged $2. ridiculous. The Enchiladas Verde with chicken was extremely tough and chewy. I ordered with all rice and the clay bowl it was served in had a huge chip on the rim. On a positive note, Camilla our waitress was terrific and very personable. I wish we could say the same about the food. read more

My husband had a Sea Bass Fillet, covered with Shrimp (with butter and spices) - absolutely delicious!! We can't wait to return - so glad we gave Rosa Madera a try! read more

Love the decor with big murals, lots of color and flowers. Angel the bartender was friendly and made great margaritas.

I have seen this place quite often as I drive on the 101 and you can always see a line of people waiting! I decided to give them a try for my birthday with my husband! We went on a Friday night which they have very loud music which was the unpleasant part of the evening. It was extremely loud that you can't hear whoever is with you. Food though was phenomenal! We had the Birria chimichanga and the nachos asada and both were so good. We would go back again for the food, I would sit far from the stage to enjoy the food and the company.

First time trying this resto and I like the interior....except the chairs. When you sit on them, it is too low and if you have a back problem, avoid them. Our server Andrea was very pleasant. Overall service was fast. The appetizers are not the ordinary chips and salsa. They are the pinwheels with a hint of Tabasco. I ordered filete tropical and that was good except the fish was salty. My husband had the tacos and those were good. Then we ordered deep fried ice cream and that was huge. Also the ice cream flavor was cookies and cream so I was happy. It's truly a different experience and I highly recommend. read more

The first time we went here we had a 10 minute wait before the hostess even came up to us so we left disgusted. But boy am I glad we gave this place a second chance! We had an amazing experience with excellent service and fabulous food. - San Juan-- a mezcal based incredibly delicious and well balanced cocktail that's almost too big for one! The Aguachile is fresh and tart, but could be a little spicier! But delicious all the same. - Mezcalita -- yes pls! Delicious. - Molcajete - absolutely delicious-- well made and seasoned steak, shrimp, nopales, cheese-- the chicken was a bit dry but still tasty. The corn tortillas are handmade and so yummy. We were there on a Friday and they had live music. It was the perfect type of music, not too loud, not too intrusive. Still allowed us to have conversations at our table. read more

I really enjoyed my stop in to Rosa Madera. I sat at the bar and arrived solo and was super impressed immediately upon arrival with the decor. I can appreciate a nice setting and it was very inviting. I had time to kill before going to an event and I figured food would be a great option and stopping here was more than I could've hoped for. I ended up with two street tacos and two drinks which were all delicious and the bartender was phenomenal in helping with my dietary needs. He checked with the kitchen numerous times and I adjusted my order according to the findings which was very helpful and much appreciated. I will definitely be back again soon because I left right as the mariachi band started performing, and although somewhat loud, it was very, very good. read more
