    Spicy tamirindo marg
    Sangita P.

    I've been to Rosa's Mexican kitchen a few times... and it never disappoints. I met some friends after work... and it was not so busy, so we were able to talk without shouting! While their vegetarian options are few, they are mighty tasty! The pablano stuffed with sauteed mushrooms was delicious along with the sweetness of the corn tamale cake. The margaritas are so delictable. I tried the spicy tamirindo marg that had slight kick. A Queso blanco app hit the spot while we were waiting for entrees. A definte meet up spot for the future!

    Since moving to the area, we have still been exploring some of the restaurants near us. Rosa's did not disappoint. We got the table side guacamole which with the pork belly was--- YUM! The elote was fun and presented really cute but I wish the tajin and cotija wasn't in between the corns because it was a little hard to access/layer on the elotes, but still delicious. Lastly, I got the birria dish, and it had the most beautiful presentation with the blue corn masa and birria surrounded in the consume. Overall, the service here was QUICK, which was great especially with us having a baby we were able to eat fast! We didn't feel rushed and the staff were super accommodating with us bringing in our car seat. We will be back again soon!

    Rosa's Style half dozen oysters $30
    Shelby R.

    Went in a Saturday night! Wasn't busy. Got is seated right away. We ordered chips con chicharron- salsas were good! My aunt enjoyed the chicharron. We also got 6 oysters Rosas style, chile relleno, steak fajita, and octopus and shrimp tacos. Oysters were just ok. Didnt care for their ceviche on top of being $30 for a half dozen. chile relleno and steak fajitas my family enjoyed! The shrimp tacos was good and coated well. The octopus taco was inedible and super chewy. The sauce they had on it was tasty. Probably won't be back but worth a try.

    Chipotle Chicken Tinga Taco

    What GREAT mexican food! We enjoyed the best Queso and made at the table Guacamole; fresh and delicious! Los tacos were out of this world! We enjoyed the Chipotle Chicken Tinga, Gobernador, & Pork Belly Tacos! Service was spot on and the restaurant beautifully decorated! If you haven't tried this hidden gem, go as soon as your schedule allows. ENJOY!

    Rajas y queso

    I met a friend here and the staff was friend, the atmosphere is festive and clean and the food was delicious. I ordered a house margarita and it was presented beautifully and tasted fresh and fabulous. Very well balanced. We shared the chips and salsa which comes with a red salsa and a tomatillo salsa - both were flavorful and fresh tasting! For lunch I had the rajas y queso taco and I would definitely get that again. The grilled onions and poblanos were perfectly cooked and the cheese added the perfect amount of yummy creaminess. The menu has so many things I want to try that I will have to go back!

    Burrito poblano

    Having a hard time what we wanted to do for dinner one night and stumbled across this location on yelp. Never heard of it so we thought to give it a try, we started with a the queso as an appetizer and it was outstanding. The corn and the pico was extremely fresh with a delicious flavor and the only thing is I wish it was a bigger serving. For my burrito I had mixed feelings about it. The sauce was not what I was expecting, it taste kinda like a weird chocolate sauce.

    This is a nice Mexican restaurant with authentic looking decor, plus an outdoor patio area so there's lots of seating. We got there on a Saturday evening for dinner around 7 pm and there were a lot of people but we still didn't have to wait long for a table. We got the nachos and it was ok. I really liked our tacos, we got the chicken and mahi mahi. They gave a lot of meat. My mahi mahi had a tasty mango mix that made it unique from other tacos. Service was good. Prices were good.

    We stopped in for a weekday lunch. The restaurant was extremely busy and there seemed to only be one server on, so we waited to be seated for quite some time. Once seated however, the service was quick and friendly. We ordered Burria Tacis and the Barbacoa Enchiladas, both were pretty good. I will say that the fact that they charge for chips and salsa was a bit of a downer, since most Mexican restaurants in Colorado offer the first basket/bowl for free. This said, I'd come back and try more off the menu, but I won't pay for chips and salsa again LOL

    Carne Asada Plate
    Ruds9599 S.

    Came here for the first time while heading to Downtown Denver, Co. I got the Carne Asada plate and the food was amazing. The waiter however was a bit rude. It was a busy Saturday evening when I came with my family. all in all great place and authentic Mexican food. will be coming back again soon with a hopeful better customer service experience.

    We heard about Itacate from a friend of ours and we had to stop by for lunch - especially when we…read morelearned it's only 7 min away. We spoke with David and learned about their food and how much love they put in each dish. They have only been opened for 2 years. Service is friendly and the restaurant is very clean and modern. The food was phenomenal and Itacate is added to our list now. For starters, the fresada was delicious. It is a strawberry lemonade. I also ordered a Mango version to go. Very refreshing. We started off with the Queso Fundido with chorizo. It was hot and the cheese was just so good and stretchy. Such a nice find - we don't see it on menus in Colorado so must try. We ordered several tacos - birria, cochinita, shrimp, and fish. Every taco was delicious and full of flavor on its own. The rice and beans were also very well made. Each bite just bursts in flavor. David was kind enough to also let us try the Pambazo which is kind of like a torta but they grill it with the sauce on the outside. And if you put an egg in it, it can be fantastic breakfast sandwich. For dessert, we ordered the deditios con nieve which is funnel fries with sauce and coconut ice cream. It's deconstructed funnel cake essentially which my bf enjoyed because he can eat just the fries and ice cream. All in all, 10/10 experience. We will def be back

    we were in the area with not a lot of time and decided to try this place for a quick bite. It is…read morefantastic! We both had a couple of tacos which were all delicious: 2 chicken, 1 shrimp and 1 fish. All of them were GF except the fish, due to the fish being breaded. The tortillas are deep fried which help them to hold together perfectly. The shrimp and chicken were both perfectly cooked and really flavorful. the cheese in all of them was delicious and gooey. They have a pretty big menu and we saw lots of delicious looking dishes floating by. Lots of vegetarian options too. (including potato tacos of which we ordered 2 to go and they were very well received). The service was great and very friendly. We will be back. Yum. The ambiance is nothing fancy but who cares when the food is so good!
