So I have been eating at Rositas Place since it opened in 1987. I am writing this review in the hopes that the family reads this and makes some changes back to the way it used to be. I once considered this my favorite Mexican Food, not so much lately. In the last 4 visits I have to say it has really slipped. My once favorites have really dropped off. The green corn tamales used be stuffed with cheese and green chillies, now the filling is the size of your index finger. My favorite Red and Green Plate that I had today was horrible to the point that I picked out the meat which was sparse and skipped to ditched the gravy. The beans have slipped, the rice was good. I ate maybe 1/3 of the plate and I have never not taken home leftovers but today I left it. The once amazing meat and potato taco are now mostly potato filler. My final favorite was the green chili chicken enchiladas which I have not had recently. I get that prices have gone up but raise the price if you have to rather than reduce portions or use fillers. There are so many options these days, dont put yourself out of business. Make it like it used to be. read more

We found out about this place from Yelp. We sat outside and had a really hard time getting served. We waited 8 minutes to order drinks and an appetizer. The server never came back for over 15 minutes and we never received our food. As black patrons of a different culture we completely understand what was happening at this establishment. Not the first time we have been treated like we're not wanting here. Thanks!! read more

The food is still delicious as always. I will miss this restaurant if I move to full time to the east coast. They don't have mexican food like this, in Massachusetts. I only look forward to eating mexican food when I am back in Arizona or California. I just love the feeling of coming here and enjoy everything. read more

This place is a hit or a miss! . Short ribs are amazing when you can get them and the Menudo has always been good. Service needs improvement. Decorations are offensive... read more

Quality food, generous portions, space for large groups. This is my go-to place for out-of-town visitors who want an authentic, family-owned place for lunch or dinner. read more

Rosita's is consistently a home run. 10/10 would recommend! Food is always on point. The chips come out hot with fresh home made salsas. They grate the cheeses fresh for enchiladas, tacos, tostadas, etc. I'm a big fan of the machada and the shredded chicken is very moist. Their crunchy tacos are my favorite. Service is usually good. The interior gives off a hole in the wall type of vibe. Just note that they observe Mexican holidays. We came in around Halloween and the restaurant was closed in observance of dia de los muertos. read more

Rosita's Place - Ala carte chicken enchilada & rolled taco with a side of rice - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We came to Rositas on a recommendation from a friend. We arrived near 10:30 am and there was a line. By the time we were seated and left, the line was out the door! Loved that. The terracotta tile floor, makes it feel so homy. There was music playing but it's not overbearing or overwhelming. We sat at a booth. The table had been wiped clean. Our waters and horchata were brought first and the red and green salsas. The server brought us our chips about 10min later. She looked like only 1 of 2 servers there and the place was packed, so I didn't stress. But when the chips came, they were fresh and super hot. The most excellent chips I have ever had. I ordered the chicken mole and hubs ordered Rositas special. The chicken on my dish was so tender. The mole sauce was very good. Not spicy at all. ( I love spicy food. I just can't eat it anymore :( ) It comes with tortillas but I chose corn, I made a mistake as hubs said he saw someone else with flour tortillas that looked homemade. The corn were not homemade. I tasted the tamale and enchilada on my husbands plate, I like them both. They each had their own sauce and distinct flavor profile. I didn't taste his beef and potato taco. But he said it was the best crispy taco he has had. Final thought: the rice and beans were out of this world. The beans are so creamy and the rice was done just right! I've been looking for a place for two years that meets my love of another restaurant in CA, that no other restaurant has ever been able to meet all the criteria's I have to match that place, until now, and it's Rosita's for sure. read more

Big thanks & heartfelt appreciation to Mary Lou and her catering staff. read more

Don't forget about this restaurant! "Fabulous Tasting Food", go see for yourself! I felt very welcomed, thank you!

Great old school Sonora style Mexican cantina. They have cute little bar in the back. Great service. Love the green sauce and the rice and beans. Large portions and reasonable prices. About as good as Mexican gets in Phoenix these days. If you want generous portions and reasonable prices give this place a try Only down side is they serve Pepsi products read more

We came on a very busy Sunday afternoon right at the end of lunch time. We only had a short wait even though the parking lot was packed. There is a big menu. I had the Combo, with perfect beans and enchilada. My wife had the fajitas. They brought out chips first...not free. The red sauce was too hot for my PA wife, but she could take the green sauce. The server was very good to us. Traditional atmosphere was very relaxed especially for how busy it was. We didn't feel rushed at all. Ample parking in the back. Discount if you pay cash. Only ding is $9 for two large ice teas. We will try to make it back in the next few days we have in Phoenix. read more

The chips and the salsa were very good. I appreciated that the chips were actually hot when they were putting at the table and it was a generous amount.. I ordered three soft tacos. Carne Asada in the first one was a dry, the Machaca lacked flavor. The guacamole needed more salt and lemon. The service was OK. The waitress was very nice, but she didn't come back and check on us.. had to walk up to her and ask her by kitchen for more ice and salsa. Others that are table ordered chorizo and eggs. It was mild and OK. The portions are huge even though à la cart two enchiladas was huge and I guess that was OK. My daughter ate it all. My mom had two crispy beef tacos and could only eat one because it was so big. She said her Machaca was a little bit dry.. Not sure we will come back . read more

Food is great, authentic. One of the best! The service was deplorable- in the many years we have been going it has never been outstanding. However, based on what we experience today, I do not know that we will go back again. We literally had to get up and flag a server down TWICE. No one smiled, we weren't greeted. This is not how to keep customers coming back. read more

Food was great but you should and will expect some shitty service. I could have drank 3 margaritas but they never came back to my table to Ask if I wanted another. Not only does it make the customer upset but they are loosing BIG $$ on drinks. We all Know cocktails are not cheep these days. read more

My fiancé introduced me to this place a couple years back and we always try to come at least once a month! They have a variation of food but he always gets the red menudo and I always try to change it up. The combo platter was delicious and the red enchilada sauce was perfect in flavor. The red menudo is always very tasteful and we have never had an issue with any of the food or the service here. read more

Enchiladas w/ the red beef is amazing! Just tried the beef Chimichanga (enchilada style)... it's HUGEE!!! Great for dinner and plenty left over for another meal! Best Mexican food in Phoenix- hands down! Only down fall... is they're always really busy. But after you've tried the food- you'll understand why the line is out the door! read more

I was wondering why they seemed to cost a bit more than expected but the plates were YUGE and delicious! The Mnuendo was a good experience, light and yet tasty. The chimichanga was simply awesome! Lots of flavor and packed with ingredients, it's like a Mexican version of Beef Wellington. read more

Get to this home in the wall! It's a joint, so come for well prepared, large plate, home cooking Mexican food. The ambiance is HITW and bright colors, so you're getting the authentic deal. The Horchata was delish, and the enchiladas and chimichanga all a hit. If you ate here everyday, your gut would pay for it... but it's a great place for an every so often dinner. read more

Rosita's Place - Chicken Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have eaten and many Mexican food restaurants and this is one of the best in the valley. My friend had the short ribs which came with rice and beans. While he enjoyed the short ribs very much, he is still talking about how good the beans are. My other friend had albondigas soup and said it was delish. I had a cheese enchilada and bean tostada and it was also delish. Chips and salsa were yum. Service was okay...it's a very busy restaurant and seating kind of on the negative side, but the food made up for it. Definitely recommend for authentic Mexican food! read more

This place is legit! We ordered the Rositas Special and Let me tell you...you better be hungry! It came with a beef/potato taco, cheese enchilada, tamale with green sauce & chiles and beans & rice! All for only $15! The food was soooo good! Very flavorful & tasted freshly made! The Horchata was on point too! We also got the chips and salsa, both of which, the green and red sauce were perfectly spicy! Next time were in the area visiting my kid at ASU, we'll be stopping here! read more

This was a very interesting experience. I happened to find this place using yelp and was not disappointed at all. I had the posole which was fantastic. Small place, great food, great people. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the neighborhood. read more

I've been going to Rosita's for years and it is always good! I've celebrated birthdays, accomplishments and average days that need chips and salsa there. Can't recommend it enough read more

I had not been here in several years. I came last week, the food is delicious. The only down fall is the service is very slow. I'm here for the 2nd time to place an order to go. The Owner saw me standing at the entrance an walked away. After 10 mins I was ready to walk out and a server came and I was finally able to place my order. If the food wasn't so good I wouldn't bother! :-/ fyi the chicken mole enchilada is delicious! read more

Tortillas from heaven. Light and fluffy...it was amazing! Great service and super accommodating with a friend who had specific dietary needs

8year update review. We came here for Father's Day breakfast 2021. This is one of my top 5 go to spots in the valley. It has a big selection of food. I chose the red chile chimichanga covers I. Green sauce with beans. My daughter got the red menudo and sister got enchiladas with egg on top. Dad had the divorced eggs, he got them all red instead of green and red. I topped of with a Tecate Michelada. They serve a green and red salsa with chips that's got some kick. But it's delicious. Prices are still incredibly reasonable with most plates under $11.00. Definitely try this spot if you haven't. IG: @iamteddycastro #teddycastro read more

Always great service and great food. A place where both my wife and I like in the Valley!

I had the Tampiqueño steak for lunch. The steak tasted bad like old meat. It was just sad because it was the first time I had eaten there. The service was slow and overall just bad the server was just hanging out in the kitchen. I had to get another server to help me. And when they took the plate back to the kitchen. She came running out of the kitchen and asked me what was bad I told her the meat do you want something else not even a sorry about that nothing. And she said ok I'll bring your ticket. It took her 10 minutes to bring that. The ambiance was nice and it looked nice and clean. Needless to say But I won't be returning to this place read more

The food is always good. The service, is all right. It's good--but could be better (-they never come around if you want refills, etc.-). It's always clean and very decorative. read more

Bar was set higher when we walked in and were seated near a plaque hailing them as having the best chimichanga in Phoenix. Boom. Ordering made easy, I went with the machado chimichanga while my friend went with the chicken version. Both were GINORMOUS. I could only get through 1/3 but packed the rest up to go. Mine was good. Very flavorful. While I prefer mine to be just the shredded beef, this was more of a shredded beef braised in a sauce with some veggies. It was good though! Chicken prepared in a similar fashion. Both came with rice and beans. Those sides were tasty. Everything was authentic tasting. Meals served with fresh made chips and both red and green salsa. I had to hide the chips behind a menu so I wouldn't go overboard. That strategy sort of worked. Very clean. Extremely well decorated. Super friendly staff. We came after the lunch rush so they accommodated separate checks but they are transparent they normally don't do that. Plenty of parking in the back. Would definitely come back. read more

As someone already mentioned in a review, we were also not served. When we were seated they told us that unlike every other Mexican restaurant chips and salsa cost money. I spent the $1.50 anyway, and the chips and salsa were brought to the table, but after that we never saw a waitress again. I never even got a glass of water for the 20 minutes we sat there before getting up and leaving. They weren't even busy! Lastly this was the second time we tried to eat there. The first time they were closed, as they are the entirety of summer, but this wasn't on the website. Never going back. read more
