My favorite place for breakfast tacos when I'm in Corpus Christi. Their tortillas are hand tossed. Everything from breakfast tacos, to pancakes ... they have it all. Wanna pick it up to go in the drive through. Check. Wanna be serenaded by Marachis while you eat ... no problem. Absolutely the best breakfast in Corpus. Next I need to try them for dinner read more

Santa Rosa Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Breakfast tacos are the reason to go here. The tortillas are better than in the dinners. There is a consistency issue, where sometimes this is the best breakfast taco in Corpus, and others it's just above average. Salsa ranges from great to watered down. The tortilla ranges from amazing (light and fluffy) to just so so (dense). I've never hit both the tortilla and salsa at their peak in the same taquito read more

I'm a medical device sales rep and I have ordered from this restaurant several times breakfast tacos paid for when I got there. And now they're telling me no I have to pre-pay for them so that means I have to drive all the way to the other side of town to pay for them and they will not take a credit card over the phone. Which I know every company can take a credit card over the phone. read more

Great Mexican food. The wait staff is quick and efficient. Reasonable prices another plus. Drive thru available.

This place is amazing! They have great breakfast at a good cost! The staff here is also very sweet and kind I can not wait to come back!

Honestly Santa Rosa is our go to! They have so many options to choose from! Never disappointed!

Just another Corpus Mexican restaurant. In my opinion, it is a hit or miss. It seems like we are satisfied but underwhelmed every time we eat here. We noticed that the quality of service has gone down some. One of the last few times we went, no one greeted us or assisted our large group to a table. It took them ages to clean it and even longer to get our drinks and place our order. I've seen them more packed before. Usually we aren't picky people and don't have high expectations, are understanding and patient, but there are some things restaurants shouldn't do, like ignore us and then never come back to our section, send out stone cold enchiladas and get upset when they literally have the grease hardened already. This is not to say their food isn't good- most of it is. But if you can find other, better establishments, maybe it's best you go there. read more

Good location and great food! Near hospital district and college campus. The breakfast tacos are amazing! I prefer corn tortilla so I get Barbacoa on homemade corn. Try the mini tacos for lunch, you won't be disappointed! read more

I use to come here when I lived in Corpus, now I live in Austin. Went back today with my wife because she's never eaten here and told her they have the best food. We walked in and went to take a seat because it's seat yourself establishment. The bus boy was still cleaning the table so we waited for him when we went to sit down. I mentioned to him he forgot the money on the table it was a couple bucks. He turned back around and yelled, "Leave The Money There!, That Money Stays There!!" I was kinda shocked because I wasn't trying to steal it just thought he forgot to grab it. He made a scene and everyone in the vicinity turned around to see the commotion. I told my wife let's go, we didn't stick around and left. I spoke to the manager before we left but she didn't seem to be surprised by what I said. I guess he's a hot head and does this often??? I remember this place use to be friendly and inviting. It's sad because I use to love this place but I think they lost their way service wise obviously and I cannot give them my Money if they employ rude people like that. There are other Mexican restaurants in town that don't treat the customers like that. Bye Santa Rosa. We're going to Kiko's read more

This place has the best Mexican Food in Corpus Christi! I had the #1 Breakfast Omelette with Bacon and Tortillas. The beans were flavorful and great and the bacon was great too! The waitresses were kind and great too! The iced tea was also good! Definitely recommend this! read more

First time eating here in corpus from Dallas and this is hands down THE BEST authentic Mexican food next to my abuelita's cooking! The tortillas are amazing! The guisada is so flavorful and melts in your mouth. It is so delicious that we got breakfast tacos, tortillas, and a guisada plate to take home. The service and staff were fast and friendly. They treat you like family. If you're not eating here, you are missing out! read more

This place is so good. Staff of very welcoming and very fast service. Food is awesome! Will definitely be coming back. read more

Omg.. this is hole in the wall and the food is soooooo good! They handmade their corn tortillas and they are yummy!

This places doesn't deserve a one start at all...... Today me an a few girls ate here for lunch an we had a HORRIBLE experience, please people do not come here. It was about a total of 6 girls today for lunch we all ordered our food an once we got out food we notice roaches crawling on the walls an the floor, we reported it to the waiter an she looked an said oh its okay its a baby. Like "WTF" baby or nota baby there are roaches. The 2 girls closest to the wall side decided to not eat, about 10 minutes latter, we notice more roaches crawling on the table, that's when we said no more lets get the hell out of here. I was drinking a sweet tea in a to go cup and when I went to grab my drink I saw a roach crawling on my cup... Very unhappy at this point. As e get to the register we were telling the owner about the issue an she said its was okay because they were baby roaches, what the hell a roach is a roach no matter what. The owner said fine if yall don't pay for your food you at least have to pay for your drinks we laughed an said seriously look, no. She then yelled at us an said get out of hre leave an don't come back. WE WERE ALL SO VERY UNHAPPY AN WILL NEVER RETURN EVER AGAIN.... TAKE MY ADVICE AN DONT GO. read more

You might miss it due to all the construction on staples but after that minor inconvenience you'll definitely have a great experience! Food is always hot and delicious. I've rarely had them mess up on my dine in or carry out orders. After 3 years of living near this place I still look forward to getting a taco from there on Saturdays! Awesome authentic food! I cannot say enough good things about this place! read more

They make their own tortillas - both flour and corn - which gives this place high marks in my book. Unfortunately, a lot of the menu is hit or miss. The ceviche is surprisingly good, though it's understandable you might be hesitant to eat (basically) raw seafood from a place as crusty as this. The cheese enchiladas are pretty good and their salsa is really great with a nice kick. For the bad: the red enchiladas are pretty awful and the rice and beans are merely passable. The place used to be one of those huge Chinese buffets so it's almost always half empty and they only turn the a/c on for the front half of the dining room. I guess that's not really a bad thing, but just a heads up. read more

Well, we made a special trip across town to try this out based on the high yelp ratings. I can't remember what this building was before Santa Rosa (not really important) but as the Santa Rosa, it's busy every time I've driven past it. That it's always busy is usually a good sign. The restaurant is spacious, lots of tables available. Our visit was mid afternoon and there were a good number of people already there. So they stay busy. Thanks to yelp, we had high expectations. I ordered beef enchiladas and wife ordered chesse enchiladas with carne guisada. We both thought the rice tasted decent, the beans as well. The chili sauce in the enchiladas was tasty. Mine came with a crispy taco that didn't stay that crispy as the bottom soaked up grease from the meat. It tasted good, but not outstanding compared to others in town...to be honest. And once all done...wife had gastric distress. She rarely has to deal with that. So, as far as we were concerned, the food was fairly average and attainable at a few other places. Their prices were better than some others, I'll give them that, but not by that much. the wait for the food to come out was fairly long and longer than other tex-mex places we've been to. And once delivered, the wait staff never came back to check on our drinks or if we needed anything else...and my tea was already one sip away from being empty when they brought the food. And unwanted guests. The flies were discouraging. It seemed like there were two flies per table. We weren't the only one's swatting at them. I saw the insect device (that bluish light mounted on the wall) turned on, but it didn't do anything about the flies. It was an ok visit....but we won't be back based on distance to travel vs. quality of product/service delivered. read more

For 20 minutes I tried to park at this place. Ended up in the to go line and had to wait for people to move forward so I could get out of line and leave the parking lot. Would like to try to eat here again sometime but for now, my lunch break is half over and I give up. This place needs a bigger parking lot. read more

I always love finding where the locals eat. This is that spot not fancy. Not for the tourist I had the chicken flouta's. (Sp?). My son the beef tacos and my wife the seafood soup. Fish, octopus and some other things. She said it was delicious. The flouta and the tacos were great. The shells were light and crispy and the guacamole and sour cream were quality! Could t give the full 5 stars because the meat was a little bland but they is probably on purpose. Maybe it's their style. But all in all a great local spot. If ever down here again I will be back. read more

We were there for breakfast/lunch. I had migas, my husband ordered fajitas, but I think what he got was actually carne asada. Whatever it was, it was delicious: tender, perfectly seasoned, and lots of it. My migas were generous and tasty, with chunks of tomato, onion, and jalapeño. The corn tortillas are amazing, the queso was uninspiring but completely edible. But the beans. Those refried beans! Omg. Those are the best refried beans I've ever eaten in 50 years' worth of bean-eating. We will definitely be back. read more

The shrimp cevichie tostados were off the chain! I should have just ordered couple of those! But I had the shrimp enchiladas, which were also yummy. The refried beans were creamy and smooth, the best I have had in a long while! 8 asked for a side of guacamole and got enough for me AND my two dinner partners. I will definitely be visiting again, when I come back for conference next year! read more

Called and told the manager and she acted like it wasnt her fault it was the "morning crews fault" at this point I just wanna let people know to watch your card and keep your receipts here .... read more

The food was great, the price was great, and the service was outstanding. We were served by Lupita who was friendly, helpful, and was very courteous. The food is authentic Mexican and portions were more than enough. We had a party of 8 who all ordered different menu items and all parties had nothing but compliments about the food and Lupita. I will definitely be back next time I visit Corpus Christi. read more
