Food and service was excellent and we loved the artwork, and even the drinks and food were artistic in their presentation.

I love this place! Service is always prompt. Their taco menu has good variety! I need to branch out and try other dishes, lol! And now they have 3,6, and 9 margarita flights! Whaaat? Yumm! read more

Rosa Mexican Kitchen Thornton - Mexican Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Our first time here and we were blow away. We got the chips with queso and quac. They made the quac fresh without much spice for our 4 year old. She loved the chips and dips and her kids meal of quesadilla, rice, and beans. My husband can't remember better chips and queso. He said it was the best he ever had. The chips were crunchy but light and tasty. We got a variety of tacos and they were all excellent. Tons of favor and delicious. Can't believe we haven't come here until today. We will be regulars. Ricardo was our server and he was great! read more

My wife and I had a collection of four kinds of their street tacos, and all were delicious. Although they have full meals, we were eating a late and light lunch this visit. Prices ranged between $3 to $6 each. It's informal with good food. Service was fast and friendly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It was a bit noisy inside for our tastes (we favor quiet places), but all the outdoor tables were taken, so we stayed inside at a booth. Still - all in all it was great and we'll be back! read more

This place is soooo much better than a lil ol' strip mall The food is so next level--true artistry in Mexican food. The enchiladas are insanely delicious. Chipotle sauce out of this world. They didn't have to go this hard but they did. Chef's kiss read more

Let's start with the prompt seating, super friendly waitresses. A delicious margarita (not your normal pre-mixed yuck. Although do add the lime slice as they're a bit on the sweet side.), chips and salsa which are purchased but well worth it & they're also gluten-free. I had the carne Asada taco and pescado al a.... The tortillas oh my goodness!!! I make my own and these taste homemade, they're made specifically for the tacos. Now let's talk allergies! I am gluten and dairy free (super sensitive to gluten and dairy both). The waitress was super knowledgeable and helpful. I will tell you this is very reminiscent of a little place we used to go in downtown Denver and I drive an hour plus to all places as I live on a ranch in eastern Colorado. They have options for everyone including our milk allergic and begin, competitive cheerleading daughter. Also super respectful of everyone's right to choose. Aka hope you know what I mean! read more

Really was craving Mexican and didn't want to do the I-25 traffic on a Friday thing. This showed up as the highest rated in the area and what a happy accident because this food was amazing. The poblano was delicious. The guacamole was table side and the serving ware is adorable. What a gem. Will be back. Everyone working was pleasant and the portions were a great size for our group. So fresh and the red salsa was glorious. Now I need that on tacos next time. Can't wait to return. read more

Looks great on outside. I noticed how small it is inside. That is fine however must the music be so stinking LOUD???? Everyone is yelling to talk to each other.there was nothing on the menu to my liking. The hubs has their regular onion and cheese enchiladas. So different from what I was used to! Stacked on top of rice and beans with pickled onions, cabbage etc. you can't really taste the enchiladas due to the stacked addings. Very different. He said they were on however he didn't care if we went back. I could not find a thing. I did t see quesadilla on the menu so asked. She said they could make one. Not good a whole ton of white cheese with no flavor. Nice people, beautiful setting, TOO LOUD MUSIC! We won't be back! read more

I was hoping to have a better review of this place. We went on Cinco de mayo so it was a little busy but we were seated quickly. It did take a while for someone to come take our order. We put in orders for guac and chips and salsa, the guac was large and fresh, the salsa was not good. I had the Frida margarita to start, it was not good, did not taste the tequila and it was sweetened only with the berries they used so hardly any sweetness and so many seeds! My husband had a metzcal Marg I believe and he wasn't impressed either. I ordered a Marg flight and the last one was the best over all which I believe was a spicy margarita. Still were very mediocre unfortunately. I wanted a good margarita and this place just didn't do it. The food- we ordered several different tacos, they all had good enough flavor, however the tacos were so wet with juices from the meats that it completely soaked the tortilla and everything fell out and ripped it apart when picking them up. Scooping them up with a spoon was basically the only option which was really annoying and completely took away from us really wanting to come back. I felt it was over priced for what we got. If the tacos stayed intact and the margaritas were better I would go back. But really disappointing overall. read more

I would leave 0 stars if I could, very nasty customer service and do not make accommodations. We have a double stroller, the restaurant was basically empty (1 other table) wouldn't let us sit outside and no tables would work for our stroller, couldn't sit us bc a table was sat for 6 people and we had 4... horrible do not go here especially if you have kids. read more

Wow! This is a great little place! Highly recommended...the food and flavors were fantastic. The chicken tortilla soup was substantial and full of shredded chicken and other bits of onion, rice and tortilla strips and beautifully garnished. I had the guacamole & salsa with chips. The blue corn chips were served warm, thin & crispy. I will definitely be back! Service was also friendly and welcoming. A gem of a restaurant! read more

I'm only rating this a 4-star because it didn't quench my authentic craving. The chips, salsa, queso and margarita were good but this is definitely an artisian mexican place. Beautiful ambiance and delicious food but it is just catered towards the not-so-adventurous mexican cuisinist. The ladies that helped me were incredibly polite. read more

This place is a gem. I thought it was the other Rosa Kitchen in Littleton but was told there was no affiliation. The food was very good. I had the Tijuana taco, steak taco, and chicken tinga. I think 3 is just a perfect portion if you are ready to eat. The beans and rice were good. Margaritas were very good. A wide selection of tequila. This place reminds me of a restaurant in Mexico City. Great taste and great prices! I'll definitely be back! read more

Bright and cheery decor and flavorful bites! The mangorita was a nice twist on a margarita. I would definitely order it again! The cauliflower al pastor taco, while small in diameter had ample toppings/fillings. The cauliflower was cooked to perfection. The enchilada was nice but slightly on the smaller side for approximately $13. The nachos were plentiful - smoky and cheesy. There was maybe a spoonful of black beans. It would have been nice to have more beans and guacamole. We'll be back sometime to try a couple of the other offerings. read more

I have been there a few times and it's always been great. I would highly recommend . Great service and food,

As usual the food was again very good and well seasoned. Service is quite slow but what restaurant isn't anymore. We had chips and salsa with tomatillo salsa and fire roasted tomato salsa. Tomatillo salsa was really good. My wife got an original mojito and I had the macho margarita, really good with a big wedge of lime and a slice of jalapeño. My wife got chicken Mole Madre with fried plantains on top. Chicken was very tender and the plantains were very sweet. I had the Carne Asada with a cheese Chimichurri On the bottom with charro beans, guacamole and pica de Gallo on the side. We'll be back. Next time I'm getting Pulpo tacos! read more

We have been to Rosa Mexican Kitchen several times now and the food has ALWAYS been fantastic. We have ordered all 3 soups, the chicken tortilla soup is so flavorful, and all 3 are delicious. The tacos are so tasty, always great and the sizes are perfect. I recommend the spicy guava margarita with a Tajín rim, so good! The service has been hit and miss here, but the food has always made up for it. The ambiance is cute, small and outdoor seating too! We love this place! read more

Stopped in to try cute little place. Service was kind, attentive. Food was pretty good, margaritas we over priced , small and weak. Chips and salsa we just ok. I'll try it again. read more

I walked into the restaurant and was immediately greeted and seated. The staff is so friendly and I can tell that there is an energy in the air that is exciting and electric. While I was waiting for my food, the owner brought out a taco for me to try, as well as a special sauce. I was blown away by the restaurant. When I received my food, I was originally going to take it to go but after trying the taco, I realized this might be the best plate of food that I've ever eaten so I ate my to-go order in the restaurant and it was literally the best food I have ever eaten. Smothered burrito with chips and queso. Literally changed my life, and I have been talking about Rosa's nonstop since my first visit. On the second visit the owner remembered me and so did some of the staff. 10/10 best food, service, and ambiance. Go there and leave happy read more

I came here with my girlfriend and had dinner. We both LOVED it and will for sure be back. María was super nice to us and made sure we had a great experience, and the chefs know how to throw down in a kitchen. The chips + Queso were fuego, as well as our meals. I had the pork carnitas and my god I forgot it even came with tortillas until the very end. MAKE SURE!!! You get a side of fried plantains too! I've been searching for the best in denver and these blew me away. I will for sure be back again!!!! read more

Don't be put off by the mall/chain exterior. Food is great - fresh table side guacamole, street style tacos are excellent (multiple pork options) and the carnitas are delicious. Servers were incredibly friendly - feels like a family run spot. Margs are solid too! Would absolutely go back again. Seriously good tacos. No joke. read more

Jesus dude every single dish here is elevated. It is pricey but they could charge more. I think the only thing that's not Michelin quality is the ambience. And to be honest with the quality of food here I don't care. Because it's all photo quality and as good as it looks. Straight read more

Ummmm...THANK YOU!!!! What a wonderful meal we had. Rosa Mexican Kitchen has amazing, fresh Mexican food which features unique and flavorful street tacos. I eat plant-based, so I'm usually not able to find any choices at Mexican food restaurants, but this place was completely different. They had both cauliflower and deep fried avocado street tacos and a super healthy salad with power greens and hibiscus vinaigrette on top. The server made the guacamole at our table and we had our choice of fresh, homemade salsas to go with it. The staff is incredibly welcoming, outgoing and nice. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. We will be back for more soon! read more

I Ordered the mole and was not good at all. I've had molar from taco trucks that was better.

A great neighborhood restaurant! The food was different than your standard local Mexican restaurant. I had the carnitas but they had a unique spin to them with the side items. Great service. Everyone was very friendly and happy to see us there. We loved the decor. read more

Pleasantly Surprised Prices are a little high, but it's worth it Very fresh ingredients, great tasting food, very nice waitstaff. We got the chips and guacamole to start - perfect size for two people, perfectly made fresh tortilla chips Hubby got the Grilled mahi mahi tacos and I got the pork belly tacos Two tacos each was very filling for us With soda, bill before tip was $30 Honestly, I would have given a 5 Star reviews, however the music on the patio was so loud we couldn't conversation with each other. Our waiter was kind enough to turn it down slightly upon request (still a little too loud) read more

Rosa Mexican Kitchen Thornton - Cheese enchilada, CARNE ASADA, chips and salsa were good. Not crazy about black chips. But, they were ok. - Mexican Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Fresh food and not your typical Mexican. We ordered Guacamole,Taco Salad and the Relleno/Tamale plate. The chips were blue and very crispy and the Guac came with a good salsa as well. The Relleno came with a side of that delicious white cheese queso. The only negatives were that the tamale was 98% masa ( I like a wee bit more meat) and the noise level is LOUD due to the acoustics. But cute design. I would go back. read more
