This stylish Mexican cantina has excellent food menu with many classic dishes. Ordered the Rosa Bowl with salmon. Delicious and all ingredients are fresh and so vibrant in color with local vegetables. The Salmon was cooked perfectly. My girlfriend ordered the King Tostado which she enjoyed. Service was great, super friendly staff and nice ambiance.
10.08.23 I met a friend for dinner here. Cozy place for a get together. We opted for outdoor seating which was good. Pretty good service. Margaritas were good. My friend had a blackened chicken burrito. My friend liked it very much but it was a little on the salty side for me. I had Chile Relleno dinner which was ok. The server had to check first for availability and server quickly came back to confirm it was available. I don't know if it was Sunday night, not a busy place at all, and unfortunately I wouldn't recommend their chile relleno. I may go back and order it again to see if it's just my timing.
Hands down the best tacos in So Cal!!! Every time I come here I am more and more impressed by the variety, the quality, and the pricing! This place is a treasure.
Delicious authentic Mexico City cuisine! I came for lunch to this restaurant. The service was simply outstanding, the server was so kind, offering recommendations as I was indecisive. The coconut margarita PERFECTION! The taste was fresh - clearly this is good food, not frozen/reheated. Which is hard to find these days. I'll be coming back many, many times.
Halibut fish tacos so good, quacomole awesome, salsas awesome, mole enchiladas great flavor.... chocolate hint with subtle spice.
Looking for a great Happy Hour? Look no further! Taco Rosa not only has weekday happy hour but also an all-day of 'happy' on Tuesdays! Wonderful, tasty tacos and margaritas every time! Atmosphere is usually great, unless it is just before closing (like most anywhere else). Love this restaurant and the Newport Beach location as well! Hope you will too, if you haven't tried this place yet!
What really stood out to me was the great service and attentiveness. Very friendly servers! Had a 16 ounce steak that tasted perfect and was cooked a nice medium. Mexican music at a nice volume in the background and not too busy for lunch but a good environment and nice patio with shade built in for the sunny day.
Pricing was in line with typical Irvine, and Orange County restaurants. Overall enjoyable experience.
We made it there for a very good happy hour for food and drinks. There were only a few tables filled so no wait. The serving size is the same as the full priced menu. Notcho chips were spricy. We used discount cards from Costco so the value was very good.
Lively atmosphere, however the music was loud enough to make carrying on a conversation kind of difficult.
Excellent service!
Food is a perfect balance of both something familiar, yet at the same time unique! Absolutely delicious! Going to Taco Rosa is a real treat!
Went here for Sunday lunch. Loved the atmosphere. We sat outside and it was so comfy and nice. Just made for a gorgeous day.
Ordered the coconut margarita which was delicious. The food was amazing. Super good. The soup was amazing and on Sunday we also got the French toast was amazing and fresh.
Overall the service, food and drinks are all amazing. But the outdoor dining just made it perfect. Highly recommend!
Food was delicious. I loved the salsa, bean dip and the chili lime chips. It was so slow when we ate there, but I never got a water refill and we got an iced tea refill at the end before we left.
Good food and service as usual. I had the chicken enchiladas and a Cadillac margarita. My friend had the burrito. Everything was tasty. The outdoor seating area is a nice plus. It's covered so you don't get the heat from the sun.
I've passed by here quite a number of times and now that the remodeling is done, I decided to give them a try. I was delighted with what they had to offer. We were seated promptly and was attended to by a very friendly server. The food was delicious and generous. There's plenty of tables and a patio area with a bar.
A bit pricy but the food was delicious. By far the best queso fundido I've had in OC. The place is clean, has a nice out door patio for dining and a really nice bar inside.
This place serves the best shrimp tacos I have tasted. The shrimp is tasty and tender, the cheese, pickles and sauces all blend well together. The only reason why I did not give this place a perfect score is because the churros were the worst I have ever had. They were piping hot but hard as a rock, dry and tasteless. The cinnamon kind of masked the burnt taste. I don't even think my dog would have eaten it. The chocolate sauce was great and wasn't too sweet, but it couldn't save the churros.
I generally am not a Mexican food fan, but when I tell you RUN, don't walk to this place, I mean it. I don't normally like tacos, but when I tell you I'd hip check someone to get seated here I mean it. Their tacos are world class. The blackened chicken, blackened shrimp and the alambre are AMAZING. The tacos are inventive and perfectly balanced. If I had a last meal in jail it'd be their tacos.
After spending the day at the fair, we decided to stop here on the way home. My wife has eaten here before, but this was my first time here. The food here was delicious and I left very satisfied. The staff is friendly and knows the menu well. They will recommend items if you are having trouble deciding. My friend has Celiac disease and was able to eat here safely and really enjoyed the food. They have a nice variety of food options for your dietary needs so I am sure most people will find something to eat. It is in the same parking lot as the theater, so you could go before it after a movie.
