I was slightly embarrassed to have invited a couple from out of town to this restaurant. We were all looking forward to having chips and salsa, and when they arrived, they were stale chips. What a disappointment.! then when we got our food, all of us thought it was so salty and we're disappointed in our meal. I hadn't been to this restaurant in a long time and this reiterated why I don't want to go back. I had to apologize to my company and won't make that mistake again at Rosie's. read more

Friendly, clean, delicious. This nice road stop is just past the Walker River bridge on the left as you are leaving Smith Valley to connect to highway 395 N to Gardnerville or S to Topaz Lake. I was afraid I was late for lunch. I was greeted with a smile and told to seat wherever I liked. Three other tables were already taken. I was hungry do I ordered the beef burrito plate. It was a massive plate presented in typical Mexican fashion with rice, beans, crema and sauces. The meat was not the typical cooked ground beef but rather a large portion of perfectly seasoned roast beef chunks with other stuffings. I was asked if I wanted a go box and I said sure. Every time I was about to put was left into the go box I convinced myself I better have just one more bite. In the end I had nothing left to take home. Really a great experience. I certainly will go back again. read more

Best carnitas taco salad I've ever had! Don't let the photo fool you, underneath the top layer you'll find a bowl loaded with the juiciest tender carnitas you've ever had. I love that they use dark greens for the filling. Most taco salads use cheaper lettuce. I'm so glad I found this place. I'll be back anytime I'm passing through. And of course they are so friendly. Nachos and salsa would also great. read more

Rosie's Place - Carnitas loaded taco salad! Incredible! - Mexican Near Me - Wellington, Nevada

We went to Rosie's for my birthday dinner. The room is small and the walls are painted nicely. The actual tables and chairs don't fit in. The waitress was very friendly and was doing great on a busy Friday evening. The shrimp entree was amazing. I got the mojo de ajo camarones and they were so flavorful. The flavors were authentic! The taco entree price seemed a little steep, however lots of meat and great portions. Would definitely go back. read more

Rosie's Place constitutes a veritably transcendent gastronomic excursion, manifesting as a singular beacon of culinary authenticity amidst the profound agrarian isolation characterizing Wellington. While one might reasonably anticipate an exorbitant pecuniary levy--necessitated by the stark geographical bifurcation from any bustling metropolis--the tariff remains astonishingly equitable. The fare provided is not merely sustenance, but a sophisticated orchestration of flavors that boldly defies its humble locale. To bypass this establishment is to deny oneself a paramount epicurean delight; the juxtaposition of rural seclusion and high-caliber dining constitutes an experience of inestimable value. read more

Excellent selection Fast service Staff check on us often Table of three very satisfied Beautiful flag outside read more

Great food, fantastic ambience. Home cooked. Family friendly service. Authentic. Like going to your favorite latina's place for dinner and socializing. Rosie is the most gracious host you could ever hope for! read more

This is a long overdue review on the drinks and hospitality. We were on a long drive heading to Gardnerville when the fuel pump went out on our SUV. We got stranded on the road right across from Rosie's. After waiting for over an hour for a tow truck I had to use the bathroom so we went over to Rosie's. The open sign was no longer on but there were lots of people inside. I knocked on the door and a gentleman let me in. I told him what was going on and asked if I could use the restroom. That's when Rosie herself came over and I gave her my story. She was so kind and welcomed my boyfriend and I in. I used the restroom and got a call from the towing company that it would be another hour until they arrived. Not only did Rosie insist that we wait inside she made me a delicious strawberry margarita on the house. While waiting there we met Rosie's brother in law and learned the love story of how Rosie and her husband met. Everyone inside was so nice and it reminded me that there are still good people in the world. Next time were passing through we are definitely going to stop and eat. I will do an updated review then. read more

Rosie is the sweetest person and the food is out of this world. Rosie catered our party with perfection. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. read more

The food was absolutely authentic and delicious in every way. The service was great and this place is definitely worth the trip.

Great food. Friendly and welcoming environment. Good service. Rosie is a excellent hostess

Great food and warm hospitality Chili verde is excellent! The salsa too is very good ! read more

First time stopping here on our way home from AZ. We will be back. The food was excellent. My husband is a chips and salsa guy and would have been satisfied just having that for dinner. His carnitas burrito was enough for both of us. And my chili Colorado was the best I've had this side of the border. Can't wait to try other things on the menu. read more

It's hit and miss here. Some days the food is fantastic and other days the food is not that good or over seasoned with salt. It really depends who is running the kitchen and when. Same with the service...some days great service and other days mediocre service that borders on unprofessional. The key is to figure out the manning schedule to determine the best time to show up. read more

Rosie is the Best ! The most delish Mexican cuisine... comfortable..Best salsa! Nice laid back friendly experience! Great find on Rt 395... read more

Omg this place has the BEST SALSA and such great food I just wish it was closer if they opened a business here in Carson City and Gardnerville area I would be there all the time every time I stop by there I have to pick up four containers of salsa to go! You never had any bad food there. Everything is amazing.! Open a Rosie's place out here please! read more

Rosie herself was our waitress! She was nice, she was professional and she served excellent food with a smile. We will differently go back to enjoy more great food. read more

What a find! We Yelped this place on a drive from Mammoth to Lake Tahoe and thought it looked very authentic, so worth the slightly longer drive. It was even more authentic than we could have imagined! The servers speak Spanish (I tried hard to play along, based on my high-school level fluency) and the plates are gigantic and delicious. My wife and I each ordered a plate (she got the enchilada/tostada combo and I got a burrito). To be honest, we could have split one plate and been full. They were so huge, but also really hit the spot during a week of hiking, altitude, and generally burning lots of calories. Chips and salsa were complimentary. The place is also full of charm. It doesn't look like much on the side of a highway in a desert. But the inside is colorful and decorative and they have a really nice outdoor patio area. They also take credit/debit cards. read more

Fantastic little restaurant in an area without many choices. I had an enchilada and tostada plate and it was big enough for two people. Good service, the owner came up and said hi. The prices were fair. read more

Rosie's Place - Chips! - Mexican Near Me - Wellington, Nevada

We decided to "take a ride" from Bridgeport Reservoir on the back road to find "Rosies". The drive itself was worth it! When we got to "Rosies" we were greeted by a really sweet young lady who took care of us for our dinner. Chips and salsa were very good. Margaritas also tasty (blended) and refreshing. Food came out quickly and well seasoned with nice presentation. Very good authentic flavor. For an out of the place - off the beaten path venue, I recommend this place. read more

We wanted to take a look around Wellington and I decided to see if there was a place to stop for a late lunch. I saw some good reviews for Rosie's and wondered if they were accurate. I'm glad to report that the good reviews were spot on! The only person working at the time was Rosie herself! The first GOOD SIGN was how delicious and fresh the salsa tasted- I had enchiladas and my Gf had chile verde'. Both delicious and really well flavored-we had tried another Mexican restaurant in Carson City and there was no comparison! We had micheladas and they were also tasty! Even though It's quite a far drive from where we live we'll be going back! Rosie herself couldn't have been sweeter or a more gracious hostess! read more

After a long day Kat and Sarah took care of us with some great food and cold beers! Will come back again; STD or not!

It's clean and the food is good. We got take out and you get a lot of food. The chile rellenos and enchiladas are delicious. Their store next door is small, but has the necessities. It also has Rosie's homemade salsa for sale. She offered chips and salsa while I waited for my food, and the salsa is really good. read more

Great Mexican food in Smith Valley. Definitely worth stopping if you are out this way. I had a perfect chicken chimichanga- tender, moist, flavorful chicken with melty cheese and fresh pico in a perfectly deep fried tortilla. My husband loved the rice and beans but I was too full from the amazing salsa (and chips) and chimichanga to truly appreciate them. read more

Rosie's was ok. I appreciate her feeding us between 2pm-5pm, maybe she saw my Calif lic plate. She wished us a safe drive too which was nice. Salsa was good. Service was quick and the young lady was so sweet. All the food was fresh and hot. Carnitas burrito was ok. Beans were ok. Rice was fresh. They serve chips cold (not heated) which is ok, just an FYI. I'd pass on the carne Asada burrito. Good parking. Good RV parking. I think some quiet mariachi music would be fun. Maybe they play music during the regular hours. read more

Great place, even better people, the food is to die for and Rosie is a sweet heart!

The chimichanga was outstanding, delicious guacamole and shredded beef! She got it out so quickly, literally went to the bathroom to wash my hands and she came out with the food at the same time I sat back down. So friendly and cute too! Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely fantastic Mexica food! I was born in Southern California and spent my entire childhood there. Most of my friends as a kid were Latino so I would spend some days after school eating at my friend's houses and the ambiance reminds of some of my friends houses! Not to mention the fantastic food! ¡Dios mío! It is amazing and tastes genuinely homemade. I cannot recommend this place enough. Rosie is just a treat to be around and she does pretty much all of the service herself! If I could give more stars, I would! read more

Love this place! We went there for breakfast while on vacation and because we enjoyed the food and the lovely ladies that work there we went out of our way to go again before our vacation was over. I highly recommend the huevos rancheros, it's delicious. read more

Good food ! Nice service ! Plenty of parking. Eat inside or outside. Yummy chips and salsa !

So I am from the Bay Area and I have been to a lot of Mexican places. This place is fab! Try the... anything. I had the garlic shrimp. It was recommended and I recommend it too! Hours. Door says breakfast 7 - 11 lunch 11 -3 and dinner 4 - 8 but we walked in at 8 and were seated and then some other people walked in at 8:30 and were seated. So give it a go even if you aren't sure. read more

Reading some of the other reviews was amusing. 2 complaints about the Mexican food not being as authentic as in California. Rosie is from Mexico, and she is always cooking! Doesn't get more authentic than that. Rosie's is a must stop for us whenever we're in Wellington, or on our way further out east. The food is excellent, the service is good, and Rosie is a hoot! It ain't fancy, there aren't any mariachi bands (thank goodness) just a friendly, comfortable place to get a good meal and chat with the locals if you are so inclined. Do yourself a favor and stop by. read more
