Oh my God chips and salsa and were great. The Bahia margaritas are excellent day I suggest not to drink more than four poor for voor and they're handmade guacamole table side is the bomb read more

Great for lunch or dinner. Guacamole is yummy! Happy Hour is pretty great too!

My husbands doctor recommended this place! Dr. Recommended....can't beat that. Clean, fresh food. The food is amazing! We always get the guacamole, they make it right at your table. Can't wait to go back! read more

I've given this place three chances the third I ended up with food poisoning. The two trip prior were just ok and I continued back because guest are looking for a nice sit down Mexican place. Bend sure does need a good one..... read more

We haven't been here in a while and thought we would give them another try. We were sorry we did. The service is just short of awful. We had to ask 4 times for a 2nd margarita. We won't be giving them another try. read more

Bad. The food is so overpriced and so poor in quality but they exist because of their location. The salad was soggy and the veggies were old. Our friends also have had really bad food here. I'm hoping that NW Crossing blows up and La Rosa doesn't make it because of solid competition. read more

Fantastic! Enchiladas Rancheros was great! My wife had camarones tropicales and loved them. That and a few wonderful margaritas... Pretty good value overall. Excellent wait staff. read more

Best most flavorful Mexican food! Great service and lovely outdoor eating. We visit here every time we are in Bend.

This place is always perfection. I try my hardest to fill up on chips and their amazing bean dip but my food always comes just in time. Best Mexican food in town! read more

I would have left 0 stars for food quality only, if possible. I would give 5 stars for great service. To be extremely clear- Food was awful! Service was excellent! Go to Hola for great food and great service. read more

I have eaten at the NW location several times and it has been very consistently great. I have eaten a variety of food here and have never been disappointed. Service is wonderful. In the sum, my dog is welcome on the patio. read more

This is not Mexican food. Taco shells like Taco Bell and the marinades and sauces are canned I'm sure. Decor and layout don't help this place. Margarita is premixed from a bottle. Would not recommend. read more

Not bad, they had tofu fajitas! This was very exciting but they used tofu that was no firm so it was like blocks of mush.... it was quite obvious they had no idea what they were doing with tofu. Their salsa is really good! And they had multiple vegan options. Next time I plan on trying the burrito fresca no cheese. All their burritos of smothered and they even have a vegan soup! read more

Hands down the best margaritas and tequila I have ever had!! Their food is well thought out, fresh ingredients, and so so amazing overall. The whole team is very welcoming and truly cares about their customers. read more

Nice location and close to home. I became a fan when they were just below the college, now with this beautiful location and great food there is just more to love! If you want a cheep taco go to taco bell, but if you want great service and amazing food this is the place. read more

This place. Where do I start? Do you love dry instant white rice tinged pink by a little bit of tomato sauce? Do you love enchilada sauce like the kind you buy at Safeway? Do you dig watery margaritas? You'll really dig this place!! read more

Wow...Was in town for 80th birthday party. Went with a group of 5 and not one dish was anything short of amazing. I wish I could remember my servers name as she was as good as they get. Beautiful setting. Not your standard over cheesed mexican fare. A MUST if you are in the area. Prices from $10-$20.00. Thank you for the best meal I have had out in years read more

I have been going to LaRosa for several years, even before its move to NWX. The food is consistently good, the atmosphere is casual-yet fun and the service is great. If you have never been I suggest waiting for a nice day and sit out on their patio along Mt. Washington. There is plenty of room, even for a large group. Enjoy a pitcher of margaritas with complementary chips. If you want some guacamole I suggest the fresco that is made tableside with your choice of ingredients. YUM! You want your meal extra spicy? Just ask for the complementary habenero sauce, but be prepared---it is hot! Happy Hour is a good bargain in the bar. Excellent margaritas for less than $5, along with a whole list of tasty appetizers. You can't go wrong selecting LaRosa. Just don't show up on a Friday or Saturday night at 7 with the idea you are going to be immediately seated. This place is happenin' and lots of folks know about it! Enjoy! read more

Great chips and Salsa! Margaritas are very good. Food is just plain bad. I have been three times, every dish is bland and boring. I am a Mexican food fan and have been eating it all my life. I would go for chips and Salsa and a drink but their meals are very weak. More seasoning needed big time. Prices are quite high too for Mexi food. read more

Darn you, La Rosa. I'm having to downgrade your review. And I wavered between 1 or 2 stars. You get two just because the food was decent last night. We were thrilled to have you open up in Brookswood. But you have two distinct personalities: One when Carole is there and one when Carole is not. The with Carole service is decent (never great, but acceptable). The without Carole service is awful. Last night after being told a 20 minute wait, we waited closer to 30 and maybe a bit beyond. We were finally seated and waited FOREVER for our server to come take drink orders. Then we waited forever for our drinks to come and to place our order. By some miracle the food came promptly. But then it took FOREVER for our check to come and FOREVER for our server to come back with our credit card. Clearly you were short handed. But come on. We arrived shortly before 6:00 and didn't leave until 7:55. We decided to stop in thinking it would be quicker than making dinner at home. Wrong. It's so frustrating. We were hoping you'd work out the kinks, but it seems the service issues persist. I can say that going forward we absolutely will not stay to eat if Carole isn't there. read more

We were visiting friends and they took us to La Rosa and we are so glad they did. Great food, great drinks and very friendly and helpful staff. We will be back on our next visit. read more

I have to say I was disappointed in La Rosa. I've tried their old location by COCC and thought it was good, but lately I went to the Northwest Crossing location and first off thought it was very over-priced. The service was not very good (though the bus-girl was fantastic). Then to top it off my entrée was not very edible. I hate to write bad reviews, but my main purpose is in hopes that it may cause someone in the business to see it and work on improving it. On a plus side, very cute location and interior. read more

So glad we found La Rosa. Fish tacos, with rice and black beans, and spicy sides... So good! He had the mixt ensalada and veggie soup... Great veggie fix, hard to find when traveling. The waiter was really sweet too! We'll definitely be back. read more

This place is awesome! Their crab salad is soooo yummy! Their red cactus margarita is a must!

Camorones Tropicales was the no.1 dish of our waitress. Her no.2 was Pescabo LaRosa. Alex had her no.2 and it was awesome! Come here. It was kid city... but our hostess helped us by suggesting we wait for the booth soon to empty. The tamales were mine. Delicious. Margaritas- Yummy. Will have to come again when in Bend. read more

Definitely my favorite place for mexican food in town. There was a period last year when I noticed a little dip in the quality of the food. I think they were dealing with a transition in the kitchen. However, they seem to be back on track and the food has been amazing. The lunch special the other day was one of the best mexican meals I have had. Prawns with chipolte sauce, white rice, beans and tortilla's. The sauce is what put this dish over the top! It was also a good size dish for the price and lunch. I heard that it will be a fixture on the menu in the hear future. The service was awesome! Some people believe that the prices can be a bit high with some dishes and drinks. If price is an issue, go to lunch instead of dinner and hit the drinks up during happy hour. read more

always a great atmosphere and delicious food. every tourist must stop by!!

My family and I have been going here for years and I feel like this place is getting worse and worse. The food and drinks were horrible. I don't understand why this place is always busy. I won't be going back until they make some serious changes. read more

We weren't expecting much, just quick Mexican. We were wrong.The food was exceptional. The tacos al pastor, with pineapple pieces, were fabulous and the chicken soup top of the line. I highly recommend this eatery. read more

Third time at La Rosa and again fantastic. The chips and salsa are fresh, crisp and tasty. I had the Taco Del Pescado. Wife had the signature Pescado La Rosa. Both dishes were fantastic. Because we both love spicy we added some habanero sauce. Service was excellent with constant attention to our table. A+. read more

We love love love la Rosa margaritas. Horny Toad for him & Bahai for me by the best bartender Sandra. Dinner tonight was light mexican pizza & fish tacos. We love the salsa and bean dip. The wait staff were all friendly doing a great job. Nice to see the owner there working hard and being friendly to every guest. We'll be back for more of those great margaritas. read more

I don't want to give LaRosa any stars. As anyone who has read my reviews knows, I'm a lover, not a fighter, but dinner at LaRosa last night was truly AWFUL. Two cheese enchiladas, black beans and rice - completely and utterly without flavor - not good, not bad flavor...NO flavor. How is it possible to take flavor out of food? The service was flavorless as well; an automaton would have had more personality. It has been about a year since my last (and first) visit; I always give a place a second chance before I Yelp and this is probably the only time I am truly sorry that I did. Yes. It's THAT bad. read more

We discovered a real Mexican treasure in a unique, growing Bend live/work/play neighborhood, NW Crossings! Serving expensive tasting food for lunch and dinner at an affordable price, locally owned, LaRosa is a must visit -- all the ingredients are fresh - homemade salsa, sauces, and delicious tortillas. Comida Buena! We had the shrimp enchiladas smothered in green sauce and the Fresco Burrito. We had a fab lunch for just $20.00. On a summer day, you can sit outside on the deck and gaze upon the snow-blanketed Three Sisters while dining and sipping margaritas in the upcoming hot new neighborhood in Bend. kids welcome btw. #corvsmb read more

This is a super place for Mexican food not to mention the Tequila infused ...more like saturated...pineapple. If your having a pitcher of Margaritas don't do the blended. Rocks up is far tastier. This is a small mom and pop type place. Clean and service is friendly and prompt. The food is excellent and presentation is not bad. This is located at the bottom of the hill from COCC campus on College way in a small strip type mall. This is a place you will enjoy and want to come back to.It is small so get in early. read more

Fabulous!!! Family dinner special!!! Yum!!!!

Number two spot for Mexican in Bend. They lose a star for service, it is inconsistent at best. Food is good, tofu can be subbed in most any dish, and the guacamole is always prepared fresh table side. We live nearby so we walk over for chips, guacamole and a margarita regularly. A nice neighborhood place. read more

My husband and I are huge fans of La Rosa. I buy their salsa by the quart ($5.75/ea) and no longer make my own. We moved up from LA to Bend about 3 years ago and this place reminds us of one of our favorite restaurants back home. Delicious, classy and not a "typical" Mexican restaurant with a menu full of "combo plates." The food is fresh, the people are great and they have legit alcohol. read more

The food is quite good overall but really, go for their vast tequila menu. Quite impressive. Good service. Can get crowded. Very much like the patio on summer evenings. read more

Ok somehow my review was filtered.....really !? Stand bye my guns ...La Rosa is hands down the best ! lived in Bend for a looooong time, and have patroned all the Mexican spots.....La Rosa has it all...I am in no way related, or do I get anything from La Rosa for this review...just trying to use Yelp to spread the word of a must try Mexican eatery. I hope that is what Yelp is all about......if not I am out. read more

Best Mexican food I think I've ever had and same for the cocktails.
