Food is banging here. My hubby ordered the Carne Asada Burrito and it is huge. Moist strips of beef, great seasoning... I had to steal a bite of his.. It was so big and beautiful All the greens were fresh and the cilantro was very fragrant, you can tell the care how the ingredients taste vs a restaurant that just wants high turnover. I ordered the Huevos al Gusto y Jamon. The eggs and rice were nice and fluffy, very fresh and tender. No hard crunchy reused rice here. The jamon was savory and smoky. I think we might go back for breakfast tomorrow. He tried 2 different salsa's red and green. I preferred the red, he loved the green. The green is one is on the hotter side. Red is fragrant, with a little kick. We ended up getting some to take back to the room. If you are looking for a home cooking style non-commercialized kitchen... give this place a try. read more

We kind of ended up here by accident but we're really glad we did! We love finding new places, and we especially have a special place in our hearts for taqueria/Mexican grocery combos. We were on our way to the airport and got some quick dinner before our flight. I ordered my usual--three beef tongue tacos with cheese and avocado (don't knock it til you try it!). These were really good. My boyfriend ordered a couple beef barbacoa tacos and a Chile relleno taco. You read that right: a Chile relleno taco! It's exactly what it sounds like, a taco with an entire chile relleno in there. I think I liked his choices a little better than mine, so I took mandatory bite tax from him. The sauces in the squirt bottles were really good too, we especially liked the green one. We could only handle a couple of drops of the spicy red one! Overall we had a really good experience, and we'd recommend this to anyone looking for quality Mexican food in the area! read more

Excellent place. Looks odd as supermarket and taqueria are next to each other, but this comes with a convenience...you can get additional products you want on your tacos or dishes and add them right there. Saw a gent add a full fresh avocado to his 3 tacos, nice trick! Tacos are excellent portion size and service is quick and friendly. Good prices too. Place is clean and inviting, on the informal side but plenty of tables and good chats with other customers. Ample plaza parking and quick service. At peak hour noon on weekdays service can get slower but it is still pretty quick. I'll be there often. Make sure they read your order back to you, as I got tripes and carne asada when I ordered barbacoa, but my replacement tacos were still very good. I've been there a few times now. read more

Hidden gem. Great authentic Mexican "fast food". Ordered the tacos - both Pollo and Chorizo ($2 each) - and they were freshly prepared and tasted fantastic. Unique selection of soft drinks. The table sauces were a great compliment to the tacos. No frills kind of place - which makes for a great lunch spot. read more

Kentucky Taco Company remains in its own class for tacos but for authentic Mexican tacos these are the best I've ever had. Pastor has come out of nowhere to be my favorite taco meat but this lomo taco is now a legit contender. See you again soon The Rosita. Tacos went up about 20 cents a piece but still cheap and delicious. read more

Came as a farewell lunch for a co-worker but can honestly say it will not be Farewell for LaRositas. This place is a sit dow restaurant inside of a Mexican grocery store. The flood was fantastic. I watch my co-workers devour the tacos which were some of the best I've ever seen. I personally enjoyed the carnitas burrito. I requested no beans but my request went straight out the window. Even with the beans, this mama-jamma was the best I've had. I will definitely be bringing my wife back to check it out. The grocery side was great too. We do street tacos on our boat a lot and I will be coming back for supplies! Until next time Larosita! Update. Came again for lunch and still great! Probably my new go to for authentic food!! read more

I love La Rosita so much. This little taqueria inside the market has some of the best tacos I've ever had. They're authentically made and they have a ton of different meat options. I got a chorizo taco and carne asada taco, and my friend got the pastor and chicharron tacos! Both of us loved them and they are SO big for only $2.50 each! The two salsas they had on the sides were also very tasty. I've gone back multiple times since my first time going and am mad it took me this long to discover them!! read more

Such wow! Louisville has some legit taco places. Up until now my favorites have been taco luchador and el molcajete. But after doing some Yelping, I came across this gem and had to try it out. Price: $2 or $2.50 per taco. This is substantially cheaper than my other 2 aforementioned places. You might think that the difference between $3 and $2 is negligible. But 3 is 150% of 2. VERY substantial, especially if you're like me and eat a minimum of 4 tacos per meal. Food: Excellent. Exactly what I was craving. Hit all the right spots. Maybe the cuts of meat aren't as quality as other places (had some chewy and tendony bites), but I'm not complaining. The flavor was massive. The sauces were great. And they serve lengua. They cook it up right in front of you too so you know they've got nothing to hide. Ambience: in a Mexican grocery store. As authentic as it gets in Louisville. People at counter spoke little to no English. They also serve Mexican Coke. FYI: it's basically counter service. Don't expect to be served complimentary chips and salsa or water. read more

I rate this fine establishment 4.5 I have read some reviews about "authentic" Mexican food and have not been impressed. Well.. hold on to your ass's and prepare yourself to take a trip to the streets of TJ for mad street tacos. Three sure signs that you know your Mexican food is authentic. 1. There are multiple trucks with ladders parked outside when you approach around lunchtime. 2. Said restaurant is in the middle of a Mexican grocery store. 3. The cashier can barely take your order because of a language barrier. The excitement in me built as I haphazardly placed my order in broken Spanish. Let me say.. I was not disappointed. First off.. the cook is blazing away on the grill right behind the counter... the carne asada comes straight off the grill.. into tortillas and onto your plate. The tacos themselves are huge and filled with all the right complimentary ingredients.. tons of cilantro and onions. The lime wedges are quarter limes... This just keeps getting better and better.. The food came out in less than 5 minutes.. There are two squeeze dispensers filled with chipoltle and green sauce.. and a stone bowl of salsa which was outstanding... an excellent blend of tomato, pepper, spicy and salt.. I highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys legit Mexican food. read more

This was another gem I never would've found, heard of or tried if I wouldn't have seen it on yelp. It took me about ten minutes to find (it's in the same parking lot at Koreana behind Popeyes). I got a steak burrito and it was fantastic. Huge and only $4 something. Muy bueno. read more

Whole in the wall little area where they serve burritos and tacos! They cook right in front of you and the asada, carnitas, and polo tacos are just awesome! Only 2-2.50 a taco and it's a awesome treat! Definitely a taco fan and I love to hit this place when nearby or seeking a quick taco! read more

Authentic Mexican food! Real tacos with real flavors and no holds barred! I tried to devour this whole restaurant just to get all the flavors inside. Lengua taco! My first one in Louisville! 'Scuse me I'm getting a lil choked up here... okay.... whew! So it was perfect! The meat was tender and the taste is exactly what I was expecting. Cut to the perfect size cubes that I appreciate for my lengua! If you have any qualms about eating lengua... don't. You've likely had more more controversial things in your mouth over the course if your life so this isn't so bad. It's actually a favorite for me and I have been craving it for MONTHS! I went to another location and they didn't have it that day and here I was and my face lit up like a cherub when the sweet lady said "yes" to me... they had it... and I was going to eat it. It came out too hot to hold and scorching to bite into! Fresh Double corn tortillas the way I've had tacos in so cal for most of my life... a generous portion of lengua and topped with cilantro and onion. My sweet hostess presented me with double sauces in red and green much to my delight. Christmas colors and definitely a gift for good behavior. And now the haunting dilemma. Which sauce to use first... red... or green... or both...? If I use the wrong one will something detonate? I squirt the green. Take my first bite of this piping hot taco and YES! I had chosen well. Steam is coming out of my mouth, it's so hot. And delicious!!! Second bite I go red sauce... and I'm plucking amazed! It's a dark red sauce and it's got a fantastic smoky taste to it. I can't describe it but if I told you the ingredients would you know it's flavor? Probably not... you have to try it. It was spicy... smoky, and fantastic. I immediately thought that this should be something this restaurant should bottle and sell if it's not already. And if it is being bottled and sold, it should be a household hot sauce. Children should transition from breast milk to this hot sauce to imbue the rest of their lives with fortitude and chest hair of the furriest kind. The other two tacos are a blur that I consumed in rapid succession; nearly losing a ring finger to my own chomping. My joy of lengua overshadowed all else but it was all good! My destruction included three tacos and a half a torta. I wish I had ordered a carnitas or al pastor torta, but I went with chicken and it was still quite delicious. Sauces were sprayed everywhere in a X-men Wolverine like frenzy... I became a Tasmanian devilish tornado leaving a deep dark void where food used to lay at my table. I'll be back... maybe tomorrow I hope. It's not the finest place I've ever been to, but dude... authentic lengua tacos, yo... Eat with your hands and face if you dare. Watch your fingers. read more

Not Peruvian as the description says, but very good Mexican food nonetheless. We ordered tacos. I got two carne asada tacos and they were absolutely delicious! The meat was flavorful and tender, and the corn tortillas were fresh. They have a wide variety of Mexican drinks as well, including horchata. The cashier did speak English, but we had someone who spoke Spanish with us, so either way we had no problems ordering. Everyone was very polite and friendly. The grocery store carries a variety of Latin American food as well. read more

Preston highway is loaded with some of the best taquerias. They all have something to offer. This spot behind Popeyes is a grocery and taqueria. The grocery has a lot of great Latin items , a meat counter and fruit and vegetables. Use due diligence when buying produce here. Some of it was noticeably around the bend. The taqueria has some great and very inexpensive eats. Be warned, no English was spoken on my visit. If you are into this cuisine as I am you can learn the few phrases to get by. My waitress was very patient with me and I received pretty much what I thought I ordered. Do yourself a huge favor and learn to pronounce this sentence: Quiero dos tacos de lomo con ceballas y cilantro por favor. You will be so glad you did. The lomo is ribeye steak. It is a filet larger than the tortilla folded over. It is seasoned perfectly and comes with a salsa verde and rojo. Learn these simple words and eat your way down Preston highway. read more

Love the tacos!!!! Lived in Texas for over 10 years. Enjoyed so many kinds of tacos. This is definitely one of the very satisfying ones.

Another excellent and authentic Taco place. This is located inside a Mexican grocery store and is such a tasty place. We had the barbacoa tacos and a chicken burrito and they were so good. I coupled that with Mango juice drink and the experience was very good. Their red and green taco sauces are excellent too and both spicy, but very good! This is a keeper in Louisville! read more

What can I say that hasn't been said already? A hidden gem of very well priced, extremely tasty Mexican food. I had the pork carnitas burrito. It's massive, includes two cheeses, beans, fresh lettuce and tomato rolled up inside. My wife had the carne asada burrito. Great flavor. One of the best green salsas I've had came out of the squeeze bottle on the table. If you want a plate of food with beans and rice and a small salad and corn tortillas, order the "Platillo". The grocery store was fairly well stocked, the meat counter had a great selection of fresh meats, including some pre-seasoned for cooking. The vegetables looked a little old, but were still within eating standards. And right across the parking lot is another hidden gem of a restaurant: Koreana. Super-good, authentic Korean food. But you won't have room to try it after eating at La Rositas; save it for another trip. read more

Love that the restaurant is located in a Mexican grocery store. Having lived in Mexico, I long for authentic food. These tacos are just that - and some of the best, if not the best, that the city has to offer. Very affordable, too! read more

This is a REAL Mexican eating place. You go inside the grocery store and there is an area that looks exactly like a street eating establishment in Tijuana or any other Mexican city and the food is exactly the same. (I lived in San Diego for a number of years and spent a lot of time exploring Mexico) They have Tacos, Tortas, Burritos, Plates, and on weekends Menudo and Carnitas. Plates are the meat of your choice (a lot), rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and corn tortillas. Don't go here expecting Americanized Mexican food. This place is as real as it gets and they don't speak a lot of English so don't go in and be an ugly American. read more

Great food! Love the tacos! Burritos are big! Great value! After you eat, you can shove in the Hispanic grocery.

They have everything I need for my Latin American cooking needs! Probably the most robust selection I've found in Louisville to date. Don't expect it to be spotless...this is okay, I feel as if I'm in a neighborhood quick mart in Mexico and felt quite at home. Afterall, i'm there for selection. I found quite a few Latin American brands not typically found in the US. I will be back. read more

The first time I came here was two years ago and nothing has changed. To be honest I hadn't even thought about the place. I just moved back to Louisville about a month ago and haven't been out to eat much. I was running errands today and as I was on Gilmore about to turn onto Preston Hwy I noticed the strip mall on my right and got a serious dose of deja vu. I immediately remembered coming here with my boyfriend when we were staying in Louisville in 2013. When I say nothing has changed, I mean it, and it is awesome! This perfect little Mexican oasis is secretly tucked inside a mercado in a pretty desolate looking strip mall/parking lot. But fear not! The staff is super friendly (even if they have no idea what you're saying) and the food is INCREDIBLE. This isn't taco bell, tex-mex BS. This is an authentic taqueria and polleria serving up tacos street style with the bare nesecities: fresh tortilla, cilantro, onions, and queso fresco. They're horchata is heavenly, a little on the sweet side but you'll be thankful for that once you drown your tacos in their muy caliente red sauce. I will advise anyone interested in stopping by to brush up on their Spanish as it will 1.) be totally fun to order in Spanish and 2.) guarantee that you're ordering exactly what you want. The seating area is small, probably topping out at 25 to 30 seats, but there's always someplace to sit and the turnover is quick. The music is perfect, the food is delicious, and the people are kind. What more could a girl ask for?? Enjoy Louisville! read more

Fantastic food, however make sure to brush up on your Spanish before ordering.
