    Oh get the green sauce on top. Warning it's got a good kick. Very tasty food with handmade tortillas.

    Caldo de Albondigas, mild broth with large beef/pork meatballs, potato, carrot, corn and greens. Side of rice with lime and avocado.

    Everything about this place is cute and clean. Rosa and the staff are so kind n nice to talk to. I had the special Caldo de Albondigas (Mexican meatballs soup.) Very mild but completely flavorful with large pork/beef meatballs, corn, potato, carrot n collard greens. If you never had this before n they're serving it do your soul a favor and order it. You will not be disappointed. *don't forget to squeeze the lime into the soup like I did.

    So, we finally got to go to this restaurant. Well, it is more of a burrito shop than a restaurant. This is a small place with about 27 seats. Service is straight forward, walk up order your food pay then go sit and wait. Needless to say, they want their tip upfront. One of my big no-no's. For the most part the food is very good I had the huevos ranchro and my wife had a burrito. The burritos are giant and she took half of it home. Mine was so-so. Eggs were overcooked. Their small potato's served as a side are great. You can watch the staff making the tortilla's in the back. Yes they are made fresh daily and the also sell them. They are about 16 inches in diameter. They offer two types of salsa one hit one mile. Both are good while the service is ok and the food good, five stars no! We will be going back.

    Chile relleno! Delicioso!

    Authentic Mexican flavors!!!! The flour tortillas are made on site and are just a bite of heaven! Friendly family-run restaurant! The service is amazing!

    It took me three years but I finally managed to sneak up here from Arizona for another chili Colorado burrito. It was just as good as I remember too. Rosa was working as usual and boy is she ever funny. We laughed about this Arizona boys ears sweating from the spice. I still ordered it un-smothered as that would have been just too much, but even so it was just kicky enough that my lips were tingling by the time I was done. Man that is just one yummy burrito. I just wish I lived here soI could try some of the other offerings on the menu.

    I love this place it's small and warm. Great service very attentive. Hand made tortillas taste great

    Check out the size of that burrito!

    One of Ogden's best! We went to Rosa's while trying some of the top rated restaurants in Ogden, and wow! It was deserving of the praise. Don't be taken back by the tiny space when you walk in, great things come in small packages in this case. Wanting to sample a variety of the menu, I got a ham and bacon breakfast burrito and my wife ordered a smothered Christmas burrito. The two meat breakfast burrito was amazing and their Chile (salsa/hot sauce) was the best I've had at a restaurant to date. The Christmas burrito was a half Chile verde and half Chile Colorado. Both of us struggled to pick which half was better, because both were that good! We've had our fair share of good Mexican food, and this is right at the top. I also love the small menu, and the specialization in a few dishes they do exceptionally. Don't pass on Rosa's!

    This place is amazing. Friendly owners and service, and incredible food. I love the smothered style burrito whenever I go west to ski, but this is by far the best I've had anywhere. The handmade tortillas make a huge difference, and the green chili is insanely good. Also had the chili rellenos another day, and that was very good too, especially for a lighter portion. Everything here is stubbornly homemade. But that green chili. I wanted to take home a bucket of it.

    Christmas Style Smothered Burrito - left Colorado sauce, right Chile Verde both delicious

    We visited Rosa's after traveling on the FrontRunner. We were looking for a good Mexican food place to have lunch and chose Rosa's. The Cafe is small but has an inviting feel inside. Rosa gave us samples of the different sauces and helped us choose our food. The food is simply delicious. I've been here twice now and each time the food was not only delicious but satisfying - not something that is easy I'll found. Rosa is a wonderful lady willing to take care of you to ensure you have the best experience. She is humble despite having some of the best Mexican food I've tried. If you're in the area, I don't think you'll regret coming here. Hoping to make it a tradition to go here. Thanks Rosa!

    This place is so yummy and authentic compared to a lot of other places I've tried here! If you can't handle spicer then don't get the green sauce but other than that jump right in and try this cute little cafe! Great service but a little hard to find. BTW masks are required.

    Xalisco - Birthday cake

    A birthday surprise I'll never forget!…read more This restaurant came highly recommended by a former employee, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. From the moment we sat down, everything impressed us. I tried a mezcal cocktail for the first time, the blueberry mezcal,and it was incredibly unique, smoky, slightly sweet, and just overall delicious. For food, we ordered the corn, poblano tamales, and the chorizo steak burrito. Every bite was packed with flavor. Portions were generous, so much so that we ended up taking leftovers home (always a good sign!). But the true highlight of the evening? The birthday celebration. Our waitress asked if we were celebrating anything, and I casually mentioned a birthday at the end of the month. She smiled and said, "Leave the rest to me." I had no idea what was coming... Suddenly, the entire bar lit up? iterally. Flames shot up like a volcano erupting, the staff came out with fire, bubbles, and this incredible energy. It felt like a full-on performance. Then came a rich chocolate cake soaked in liqueur that was just as dramatic as it was delicious. It wasn't just dinner, it was an experience. If you're looking for amazing food, creative drinks, and unforgettable celebrations, this place delivers on all of it. We'll definately be back.

    I stopped into Xalisco in Ogden on a random weeknight around 8pm and was a little thrown off when I…read morewalked in and the place was completely empty--no customers, no one at the host stand, just crickets. For a second I wondered if they were closed, but someone eventually came out and seated me. That initial vibe had me a bit concerned, but I stuck it out. I started with the chips, corn, and guacamole, which was decent, nothing mind-blowing but fresh enough and got the job done. The Cadillac Margarita ($20) was a disappointment though. It was basically a glass of ice with way too much lime juice dominating everything; I could barely taste the tequila. The Michelada was better, solid and refreshing, and the service was about the same: friendly and attentive enough once they got going, but nothing standout. But holy smokes, that asada stuffed burrito saved the whole meal. The asada was ridiculously tender, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. Juicy, smoky, melt-in-your-mouth beef wrapped in a solid burrito. That one item alone made me glad I came. Overall, the place has some hits and misses. If the asada is what you're after, it's worth it. Just maybe skip the Cadillac marg and don't expect a lively atmosphere on a slow night. I'd go back for the burrito.

    If you told me that this place was your Hispanic friend's favorite spot I would not be surprised…read more We ordered three tacos (pollo, asada, and birria) and added cheese, lettuce and pico, and they were soooo good! There were a perfect size... they felt a little bigger than street tacos but not overbearing. I also dipped them in the green salsa that comes with the chips and damn, that salsa is good. My partner got 3 birria enchiladas smothered in red sauce and the flavors were all there. The only thing we should have done differently was ordered all 3 meats in the enchiladas. It was impossible to choose a favorite meat option. The rice was cooked to perfection and fluffy. And the beans were the perfect consistency. The server was incredibly sweet and attentive. The music was a perfect playlist of Spanish hip hop and pop. Idk what the lyrics mean but they are probably telling their friends how good this place The decor is so badass! It has a custom painted dia de muertos mural celebrating the city of Ogden. This place just feels like a love of the food. It shows in the feeling you get when you walk in the door as well as with every bite of food. Like, can I have my birthday party here?

    AMAZING!! The food is delicious and fresh. We got their cheese+beef enchiladas- so good! But,…read morethe real star is their empanadas. They are made by the order, so they are fresh and piping hot when you get them. They are packed with cheese and whichever protein you choose. We got the beef one and I daydream about it all the time. They are massive too! Also, their horchata is the best I have had in UT so far. Not too sweet and not watered down. The service is awesome- they are quick and efficient and make you feel welcomed. I also love the ambiance of the place and how it is like a hidden gem. Cannot wait to go back!

I called and told them their meat smells like diaper poop and the meat was burnt or very old I think they just reconstituted it. They have a really nice restaurant and friendly staff but if someone has a complaint or problem with their food they should handle it better than having a older couple to bring the food back and they will refund your money back. If that is how they are gonna be maybe they should just have a catering truck or make food on the side of the road . I am sorry if this seems rough, I just tell it like it is. I will never eat there again.
