    Spicy cucumber margarita - A glass of spicy cucumber margarita with a salted rim and a straw, placed on a dark wooden table at a restaurant.
    Kaitlyn F.

    We came here for lunch on a weekday or one of the first outings with our newborn child. It was a great place because the restaurant was not too busy for lunchtime during the week and the waitresses were very helpful and accommodating. We were able to sit and not be too close to other people. They did not rush us and the food was great. I started with a spicy cucumber margarita which was great. It didn't have any artificial flavor. We really enjoyed the empanadas and when we split the Steak and shrimp molcajete it was a fun interactive dish. On my way out I saw a sign that said that they have taco Tuesdays with the tacos half price. We will definitely be back.

    The manager, Chris, is a real gentleman. He shared news of Rosa making some changes that'll be exciting in the coming weeks ahead. When my wife didn't enjoy her drink, Chris swapped it out for another, not a delay! Great service from him and our server, Cheyla (sp?). Guac is a must here, as is the pomegranate margarita! We also enjoyed our enchilada selections tonight - mine carnitas, my wife's chicken. Both fresh, flavorful and delicious! Our last visit here over a year ago wasn't great and we were concerned Rosa was going downhill. This visit last night gave us a good feeling that they're figuring it out! Will definitely return - it was one of our favorite spots and maybe has a chance to return to that once again

    The person who greeted me and my waitress were very pleasant and very professional. The food at this restaurant is very tasty. recipes are truly made with the best ingredients...balanced dishes, interesting combination of flavors, and they always have the same high quality. I really like the atmosphere because it's somewhere between very bright and medium light, which I enjoy. The decor is excellent. It's a huge place... I don't like feeling closed in. I haven't visited the ones in New York or other states yet, but I really like this one. Today I ordered shrimp ALAMBRES ( skewers) with a chipotle-mango sauce and on the side sautéed spinach with toasted sunflower seeds and clear raisins. The spinach didn't have excess oil and tasted delicious. The shrimp were medium-sized; fresh, not frozen. The overall flavor of the alambres was soft, but delicious; another side dish was creamy poblano-flavored rice: succulent!!! I paired it with a cucumber and Serrano-jalapeño peppers margarita, which was spicy, but I could handle it. Overall, everything was delicious; the service was excellent. The quality of the ingredients in the dishes remains very high. Atmosphere is very nice. There were few people, which is understandable because it's the middle of the week. The playlist was cool. My total was $60 plus tip, but I took half of it home. It worth the price. Congratulations again. Keep doing everything excellently. God bless you and thank you.

    Lobster Taquitos and street corn
    Isabel H.

    We've eaten here a couple of times when we feel like Mexican food and it never disappoints. We always get the table side guacamole. They make it fresh in front of you and the flavor is always on point. If you don't like spicy definitely get the mild but if you can handle heat, get the spicy because there's a kick to it. My personal favorite dish here is the lobster Taquitos with a side of the street corn. It's like lobster salad in a taco and not many places have this. This time my husband got the roasted half chicken. He thought it was moist and flavorful. The mole sauce is what makes the chicken stand out. But don't get it if you're allergic to peanuts/nuts. Our server Alan was friendly and checked on us throughout the evening. The interior is nice but it can be a bit noisy on a Saturday nice. Overall, I would come back.

    Kids Chicken Quesadilla With Fries
    Chris E.

    A bit on the pricey side for the food that they serve, BUTTTTT, most importantly, it was good. Our family came here for our annual Christmas Eve dinner at around 5:30 and, since we had a reservation, we were seated immediately. Although, the restaurant wasn't very crowded, so we probably could have easily snagged a cozy table even without the resy. The menu was filled with traditional Mexican favorites with their own twist, like, guac and chips, quesadillas, enchiladas, tacos, seafood and meat entrees, etc. and I loved that there was so much to choose from. In fact, because so many menu items were so complex and comprised of so many ingredients, it felt like a homework assignment trying to read through each one, but better safe than sorry for those with any allergies. After we were seated, it took a bit of time for our waitress to finally tend to us and since we had waited for longer than anticipated we had our ENTIRE order ready to go, which consisted of: BIRRIA AND CHEESE EMPANADAS - Was an order of 3 empanadas and, honestly, I wasn't expecting much since it was "JUST" empanadas, but this might have been my favorite dish we ordered. I'm more used to empanadas served in the hole in the wall empanada shops in NYC, so was pleasantly surprised by these "fancier" empanadas. The empanadas were very crispy and the birria was nice and toasty, and, most importantly, tender, flavorful and super delicious. A MUST order. BAJA-STYLE FISH TACOS - Not sure what I was expecting, but I thought it was going to be better than it was. The fish was crispy, but it could have been much hotter and crispier still. It probably had to do with the slaw and tomatoes on top that softened the batter. Also, it was quite ordinary in that nothing about it really stood out to me. Not a major disappointment, but definitely could have been improved. TAMPIQUENA - This was my wife's entree and it absolutely looked much better than mine. The 10 oz. strip steak was juicy and cooked to our liking. There were also peppers and onions, guac and griddled queso fresco on the side, which were nice compliments. At $45, it was on the pricey side for a strip steak and not much else, but, nevertheless, it was good at least. KIDS CHICKEN QUESADILLA WITH FRIES, CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM, APPLE JUICE - Our kids kind of enjoyed this, but you just neverrrrr know with kids. Our son devoured his quesadilla, but, as expected, it was a pretty plain quesadilla with not much else since it's a kids meal. Also, the tacos and Tampiquena came with Mexican rice and refried beans and, I have to say it, I LOVEDDD the beans. Yes, it's just refried beans, BUTTTT the beans had the perfect consistency and weren't too clumpy. It was very easy to eat and I actually finished it all up. I really enjoyed it, which is funny considering it was probably the least expensive thing we got. On a side note, we did put in an order for the Guacamole en Molcajete Classic and our waitress, Valentina, noted it down, but the staff never brought it out. Definitely no fault of Valentina's since she noted the Guac, but she rightfully struck it from our bill when we informed her that it never arrived. Also, her service was fantastic throughout the evening as she was super friendly and accommodating for all of our requests. The food definitely is solid here and I get that it's 2024 and inflation is pinching everyone and every business, but the prices do feel a bit high here and I think that's one reason the restaurant isn't bustling to the max here like other restaurants with slightly lower prices. If the prices are lowered at some point in the future, we could see ourselves coming back.

    Overpriced and low quality. I got the queso dip with the added chorizo, along with the birria tacos. Service was quick, and the restaurant/bar are cute. So if you prioritize ambiance, then this is a good spot.

    A decent Rosa Mexico location. They have a cute elf on the shelf hunt for the kids. The service was nice and the food was pretty good. We got -kids chicken fingers + fries. The fries were a bit soggy but the chicken was great. However, took most of it home. -chicken quesadilla - this was a big hit. Everything was devoured. -tacos carnitas with rice and beans. Didn't love the rice and beans, but the tacos were on par! Definitely recommend. -quac - not my favorite. Under-salted and not enough lime juice. I use to ask for hot sauce and salt to make it palatable Overall, I would likely go to Cheesecake Factory in the mall. But this is a close second.

    Duck carnitas tacos - Three tacos with shredded meat, cheese, and toppings on a green plate are on a bar counter, with a bowl of lemon wedges, a small bowl of salsa, and drinks nearby.

    Food was amazing and fresh... would def come back.. Service was great. Ambiance, I was very pleased . Clean , fun

    Nachos - A serving of nachos on a blue plate, topped with jalapeño slices, shredded cheese, sour cream, and diced tomatoes.
    Zukhraf S.

    What i love about rosa mexicano is the table side guac prep ( although the last time we went it was under seasoned), and absolutely love the nachos! I get the meat free version and i have no idea how every chip is topped with the perfect amount of each ingredient and how every chip is crunchy ( the entire chip stays crispy) . The shrimp appetizer is also really good. The only thing im bummed about is that they use to have an option to order single small tacos ( $5 each) , which was perfect to go with the nacho plate ( which was a meal pretty much) and they discontinued that. So just bummed about that :(.

Service has been nothing but kind, helpful, and attentive every time we've gone. On our last visit, we were jonesing for happy hour and asked for the drink menu, only to discover they don't serve alcohol but they're BYOB. "And there's a wine and liquor store only two blocks away," our smiling server whispered conspiratorially. It was a genius idea. While we waited on our order, my husband jetted out for a 6-pack of Modelos and got back just as our chicken salad was being set down on the table. We asked for it to be timed as an appetizer, and I'd say the serving size might be closer to an appetizer than an entree. But the chicken pieces were well-marinated and delicious, making the salad a meaty entry point into our shared steak fajitas. These fajitas are a winner winner chicken - er, steak - dinner. Since we got it done medium well (my preferred doneness - feel free to judge me for it), I was worried about the steak being tough but these were tender enough for both my husband and I to emit a simultaneous "wow" at first bites. The sauce on them was also incredible, so much that we asked our server about it when he checked on us mid-meal. He crossed his heart and demurred, "It's a secret, so I can't really tell you," but when we pressed for more information, he admitted the main base was "lots of tomatoes". Well, whatever's in that magic sauce was good enough for us to drag our spoons against the near-empty fajita plate, trying to get every last drop of it. My husband and I have visited twice now, and our order has ranged from good to excellent (with those steak fajitas being the high winner thus far). There are a few parking spots in the front lot but being that this is in a quiet, residential area, there's plenty of parking to be found on the side streets if necessary.

I will copy and paste this review across the Park Ridge and Mahwah locations so emphasize my appreciate for their consistency in providing great Mexican food. If you are consistently performing, Linguini will take care of you. Like I've taken care of many others. I will bring you to the top with me. If you backstab me. Oh if you come for me at the top, you will reach an abyss so deep you may end up digging to China. Don't test me. I'm not that guy. Anyways, I've tried a lot from Azteca. Most of what they've got is a 4/4.5 out of 5 but I'm rounding up for the full experience. Phenomenal price point. Variety of food that all comes out well. Performs well in restaurant and when the food travels. Friendly staff. And local business of which I support. I suffer from GGS - Good Guy Syndrome, sorry not sorry. My motha, bless her soul. I legit mean bless her soul. Be nice. Pray. Bow down to her. She doesn't eat much food but she even loved the taco salad here so much that she asked to go again. So much protein, so well seasoned. Just as their other options showcase as well. My personal favs are the Kash Burrito and the, what I'd call "trademark" Cod Burrito. Never have seen it elsewhere like this. The wrap is toasted wonderfully, great rice, great salsa. I mean this place just does it real well. I've had tacos, appetizers, desserts. Never let down. El Azteca is consistently good. Constantly pushing out quality product. Is it the best Mexican I've had? No. But it's the most underrated. Being a consistent 4, makes you a five in my books. It's like that girl that's occasionally a 6 or occasionally an 9... you can't bring her home. But that girl that's consistently a 7 or an 8? You let her meet the fam. I don't where I'm going with this one. All I'll say is STOP. Stop going to Chipotle, Bubbakoo's, etc. when you could be supporting a better quality and friendlier priced location in El Azteca. Thank you in advance. I will be watching - LB.
