We had really high hopes coming into this place, but we were sorely disappointed. When we looked at the menu, the only options they had were a couple burritos with either pulled pork or ground beef, a quesadilla, or Chiles rellenos. We got the two Colorado burritos, one verde and one pulled pork quesadilla because they don't have chicken. I ordered a drink and poured it from the automatic machine. The Minute Maid lemonade I got was sparkling! I don't know if the wires were crossed for the water feeder or something but it was weird. When we started eating the burritos, all four of us got stomach cramps from the heat and it doesn't help that the burrito is filled with MEAT ONLY. There is nothing to quench the heat. Also, no chips or salsa served or available to order. We left after getting through about a quarter of a burrito and got dinner elsewhere. We also stopped by the grocery store to get sour cream, guac, and cheese hoping to salvage the burrito for lunch the next day. It was still so unbearably hot that we threw it all out. read more

This is a small place and easy to miss on the main road. There's parking around back if you miss the few spots out front. The food was very good, but they have limited options. You order at the counter and have a seat at one of the few tables. The service was fine and the wait for food wasn't too bad. We were there for a late lunch on a Sunday, so it wasn't very crowded. Not good for kids, no high chairs and no changing table in restroom. read more

We had the smothered chile verde burrito and also the chile Colorado burrito. Both were very tasty and had some heat to it, which is a plus in my book! Tried their bread pudding and it was pretty good, just wish it was a little bit sweeter. Can't wait to go back there and try everything on the menu. I have a hunch you can't go wrong with what you order. read more

Great Mexican find in Ogden. Ordered the chile verde burrito which was delicious and full of flavor -- but WARNING -- they are not kidding around with the spiciness. This dish is HOT! Portion sizes are huge. You could easily share a burrito with another person and leave completely stuffed. The space in the restaurant is small. I imagine it could be tough to find seating for a large group. read more

This is a quaint little place in the middle of Ogden. It has a medium sized "Cafe" sign out front with limited parking in the back. I ordered a Chile Colorado smothered burrito with rice and beans. It was fantastic. A great amount of spice and heat. The pork inside of the burrito was tender and extremely flavorful. The rice and beans weren't just a filler, they were incredible, homemade and full of flavor. The service was 5 stars. Rosa herself served me my food. Her grandson checked on me twice to make sure I was ok. The inside of the cafe was EXTREMELY clean. I was very impressed. No dust or grime on anything in sight. Not even the window seals. read more

A sign on the door reads "Small place. Big flavor." and they aren't kidding. There are only 4 tables in the restaurant and some seats at a bar. I can imagine this place could be claustrophobic, but the food is worth it. After seeing all the 5 star reviews I decided to give Rosa's a try and I was not disappointed. The menu is just a small as the dining room, but that's okay. It makes ordering a meal very easy! I had the chili verde burrito, and it was delicious. Just enough spice, and the portion was more than I could eat. Pricing is very reasonable and the quality is second to none. I'll be back! read more

Tried Rosas from word of mouth and wish I hadn't because I eat it almost twice a week now... by far one of the best Chile Verde burritos and Chile Colorado burritos I've ever had. Family owned and operated in the heart of Ogden. The tortillas are absolutely fantastic and always recommend getting an extra one on the side. read more

Surprisingly authentic in the little old town of Ogden! I ordered the tamale special smothered in red and green sauces. Ugh, looked so good after walking in the cold all afternoon! Tamarindo and horchata on tap, this place is all about providing the comfort of a Mexican home kitchen to a hidden diner on the outskirts of downtown. Strongly recommend checking them out for thei home style meals! When my smothered tamales came out, I thought to myself MAN that's a lot of sauce! I hope it's not to salty... but oh was I totally WRONG! The sauce wasn't overly salty at all... it was actually jam packed with the true flavor of roasted peppers!!!! AHHHHH! My mouth was low key on fire. Ahaha thank goodness for that free refill on my tamarindo ;) okay so in conclusion, the sauces were surprisingly HOT and AUTHENTIC. Maybe not order your dish "e'smothered" the first time you go there... but definitely try the sauces! Very good. Surprisingly spicy. Maybe sometime again when I pass through Ogden! read more

My favorite restaurant, the best Chili Verde ever. If you haven't been here you are missing out. Be Careful it is spicy not Mcdonalds Spicy real Spicy. read more

Tried this place for lunch and what I found was my new go-to spot in Ogden. Small place, great food and a nice environment. Burritos are awesome and so are their specials! Its a small place and easy to drive by and not notice. Well worth the trip. You, like me, will become a regular! read more

Went with the kids and tried the chili verde and colorado burritos, and the picadillo plate. Both chilis were very good, the verde very rich and with some heat. Small menu that changes daily. The bread pudding dessert was also delicious. Soft drinks only, but would be great to have a beer with a burrito. Hopefully that is in the cards in the future. Friday is apparently chile rellenos day, so we will be back for that. read more

Everyone was happy with what they ordered. If you are in the mood for Mexican food, would recommend this place.

Cozy lil cafe. Killer breakfast burritos. The tortillas alone are worth the visit. Great service. Impeccably clean restaurant. Fair prices.

I cannot wait to be off this stupid diet!! Rosa's Cafe will definitely be one of the first places that I will go to first. The breakfast burritos here are amazing. They far surpass the other local "fast food" Mexican Food chains. They truly care about the food they serve and the customers that walk through their door. I have also thoroughly enjoyed their Chile Colorado. A warning to all... they have a sign up inside that warns you about their hot sauce. Before you douse your food with it, try a small bit first. IT IS HOTTTT!!! read more

You're on a ski trip to Powder Mountain or Snow Basin and you and your friends desperately need to refuel after a glorious day on the slopes. Rosa's Cafe is the the right choice. Huge burritos, delicious and spicy (actually spicy) sauce, chorizo to die for, with that cozy feel home style feel. You'll get that filled-belly-after-being-outside goodness. Trust. read more

Attitude. I'm completely ignored until I say something. And then instead of saying hello, the waitress says hold on it will be a minute. If only Rose's family were as good as the food. read more

Rosa's Cafe has a great atmosphere. They offer the best burritos that I have ever eaten. I love their homemade beans and rice. I enjoy the mild spice best. The spicy is a little hot for my taste. I am excited to eat there again. read more

I spent most of my life growing up in Tucson, AZ and Rosa's is as delicious as any Mexican food I had there. The pork in the pork chile verde is tender and melts in your mouth. But the sauce. Oh my goodness the sauce! Both the chile verde and chile colorado have an incredible depth of heat and spice. Fair warning: It can get hot, but that doesn't diminish the flavor one bit. The tortillas are made in house and set up all of the dishes to be memorable and tasty. read more

My boyfriend took me here after we didn't really like our food somewhere else. They were in the middle of closing up, my boyfriend got out of the car and asked if they were still serving and they said yes and welcomed us in. I had the chile verde burrito and my boyfriend had the chile Colorado. Both are unbelievably good. It's family owned and their customer service is awesome! We were talking to the dad and the daughter. Super sweet people! I tell everyone about this place now! read more

Pleasantly surprised. It's pretty tight inside so manage your expectations on that. Service was quick and professional. My wife and I both ordered smothered burritos. She got the verde, I ordered the half & half (red & green). They were huge -- didn't get halfway through either of them and they were good & spicy!!! I wish they'd expand their menu a bit but if you are craving an authentic Mexican burrito, look no more! read more

#1 for a reason!! Comfort food at its best! Screw your diet and get here before they close!

Loved the salsa verde burrito! It had a real kick to it, pretty spicy for salsa verde. It was right at my threshold for spice, so it was perfect for me. Everyone that came in while we were there was ordering the mole, so I definitely want to try that next time. Super warm, friendly people running the place. read more

Rosa's Cafe - Chile verde burrito with rice and beans. Mmm - Mexican Near Me - Ogden, Utah

Yesterday I went to Rosas cafe and let me tell you I was shocked. My family did recommend this cafe to me and told me I needed to try it but eating here surpassed my expectations. The food is so yummy. I literally would eat here every single day of my life if I could. I got a smothered bean and cheese burrito and my partner got a quesadilla with rice and beans. My burrito was huge! And the quality of the food is incredible. Not only do they give you a generous amount of food but there are also sauces that they offer and they are also so delicious and compliment your food. On top of me eating some of the best food in my life, I was also treated so well by the staff. They are so kind and check up on you to make sure everything is well during your meal. I would recommend Rosas to everyone. I l never have felt the need to review a restaurant/cafe but I knew that I had to with Rosas. It is seriously so good. Don't walk, but run to Rosas and get yourself some delicious food. read more

This place was amazing took me back to the time I lived in Las Cruces and El Paseo. The food was authentic and delicious. By far one of the best Mexican restaurants in utah. To bad its way up in Ogden. I would be a regular if it were closer to home in Salt Lake. Perhaps that's a good thing though the scale knows I don't need to add any more pounds to this body, but if they were closer the scale would just have to cowboy up buttercup. read more

I didn't think good Mexican food could be found in Ogden. Rosa's proved me wrong. I would go just for the Salsa alone. It doesn't look like much from the outside. But the restaurant is clean and the food is amazing. I got the chili Colorado burrito smothered . Yum ! read more

Finally tried this place after many years of friends telling me about the great food. I regret not coming here sooner! This very small place could be easily missed on Washington Blvd, as it only has a sign that says "CAFE" outside. approximatly 5 tables (seating 4 each) and a long counter are the only seating available. Don't let this discourage you, though! We went for lunch during a weekday, and walked right in. Go to the far end of the counter to place your order, then have a seat. We ordered the Chili Colorado burrito and the Chili Verde burrito. The Colorado had a very good spicy heat to it, not too much, not too little. A wonderful taste sensation! The Verde was also as good as it gets, and it has become our gold standard by which to judge Chili Verde at any other restaurant we go to. Both were loaded with meat, and the dishes also came with rice and beans. The menu is not large (personally, I think that is a good thing, since you don't have to agonize over 30 or more different items like a typical restaurant), but there is something here for everyone. This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Friendly employees, patrons who obviously come here often, and, of course, some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Very reasonable prices, and plenty of food (we each took half of ours home). Whenever possible, I encourage people to try locally-owned businesses like Rosa's over the "big name" national establishments. This is a gem of a place in Ogden, and we need to do our part to keep them going! Just don't wait as long as I did to try them out! read more

Sweet sweet delicious food. Oh, how I love this delicious Mexican food. Now, I'm pretty ignorant as far as different variations of South American food outside of the traditional Americanized Mexican food and then some El Salvadorian food, but in terms of favorites, this is by far my top choice for best food type ever in my book. Mexican food is perfect. And this place is close to heaven. Homemade tortillas, yum. Delicious plates of juicy marinated meats, mhmm. Rice and beans near perfection, yes. All served up in an unassuming, cleanly corner cafe in Ogden. Bonus? The menu is SIMPLE. No fancy add-ons. I can count on my hand the choices. And all are as delicious as the last. A word of caution for those faint in the spicy Dept, I would def approach these dishes with caution. It's a great place to clear your sinuses out. Now GO! Go try it now!!! read more

There's not a lot open at 9 o'clock in the morning. I was looking for something quick something cheap and something good. I scored on all 3 counts! This is the closest authentic Mexican food I've had since I left California! No frills and it's kind of a hole in the wall restaurant but I found over the years those are the best kinds. It's definitely worth trying out! They close at 3 o'clock so this isn't a dinner destination but if you're looking for breakfast or lunch give it a try. read more

This place is so good. We stop in every time we are in Ogden. The Chile Verde is by far the best I've ever had. Tons of flavor and very spicy. For the less adventurous they have really good breakfast burritos and a great Picadillo. It's easy to miss in the street. It's a very little restaurant. read more

Best burritos i've ever had...hands down! We go at least once a week. The breakfast burrito is my favorite and always get it smothered in chili Colorado...you can also have them do half/half with red/green to try both. It's always home made. These guys don't cut corners. read more

This place is so wonderful! It's a great little hole in the wall where you can find delicious food and a bit of true culture. We ordered the quesadilla, Chile Verde burrito plate, and the chilaquiles. All of the food was delicious. The quesadilla had beef and cheese that melts in your mouth and was nicely toasted. The chilaquiles had a small spicy kick to it and the burrito was delicious overall. The staff was welcoming and patient. If I'm ever in town again, I will definitely be coming back to Rosa's. read more

The food tasted like it came from a can. Extremely bland with no seasoning or spice. The portions were small and the service was extremely slow for it being completely dead. read more
