    I think Rosalitas always does a great job with the atmosphere. The colors and decor draw you in! I ordered the spicy margarita in the 20 oz which tasted like watered down lime juice and did not have hardly any tequila in it. the queso was just okay. the guac was pretty good but they make it look like you are getting a lot more than you get by placing it on a bed of lettuce. I ordered the fajitas and they were just alright. It took a long time for our waiter to come around and he did not check on us hardly at all after delivering our items. for the price of everything I think it's not worth the hype honestly.

    This is a beautiful building and new to the area. When we arrive, we were told a 30 minute wait but we did not have to wait 30 minutes before getting seated. The restaurant is very large. They took us to a booth. It's pretty close with kind of private and very nice. We arrived with plenty of time with happy hour left over, but since it took them so long to see us, they would not honor it, which was frustrating Sophia R was our server and she messed up our tickets. For example I had ordered the guacamole and there were five of us and she split it between three checks which doesn't make sense and it was just something that I had ordered for myself. We also had ordered a margarita pitcher with no ice and she brought us a pitcher full of ice hardly any margarita. So we had to order another and yet again they brought it filled to the brim with ice. Even the receipt said no ice. Very slow service. We thought we had our order ready and then it ended up. They brought us the wrong order. They took it back. Hopefully it made it to the right table. We had to ask for things multiple times like and our waters. I know they are a newer restaurant so hopefully things only improved from here

    Incredibly large and ornate interior with a giant wrap around bar, huge booths and a more secluded dining room area. The patio wasn't quite finished yet but promises to be just as elaborate as the inside! We sat at the bar and the bartender was incredibly friendly and was taking the time to teach the new staff members the ropes. Beer selection isn't bad and the margaritas are tasty yet expensive. Everything is actually quite expensive. Most entrees will run you between $20-$30. Rosalita's does stay open late for that late night hunger crave, when most Mexican restaurants don't. My only critique is that the staff and logistics are still getting ironed out. Appetizers took too long to come out and our to-go order really took a long time before it was ready. We were there at 3:30pm on a Saturday with no wait but by the time we left around 5pm it was packed!

    Still working out the kinks. A pretty long wait and then service was spotty. Just small details, like no utensils when the food was delivered and had to wait a bit while our food cooled, forgot the lemons for water, onions in the fajitas when my friend specifically ordered them with no onions. The servers were very friendly though and we had two servers so I think one was getting trained. The chips and salsa are always a hit and the street corn that I ordered was super yummy. The chicken tortilla soup was just OK. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful though and I'm really looking forward to when they open the patio and coming back for happy hour. Their traditional margarita brings back memories of the old Casa Gallardo. They taste just the same! Yum!

    I am so pumped about the new Rosalita's in O'Fallon! The menu offerings are very similar if not the exact same as the Des Peres location. We went to celebrate my grandma's birthday with a large group including kiddos and our server was amazing, I wish I could remember her name. I ordered the steak fajitas which were pipping hot with lime margarita. The decor was beautiful too. I can't wait to visit again soon when the outdoor patio is complete.

    Megan was soo good! We got there just as HH was ending so we thought we missed it. She greeted us promptly, right away letting us know there were three minutes left for HH prices if we were drinking or doing apps/queso or guac! Yes to all please! She scored us margs and dips just in time and was great the remainder of our dinner! :) The restaurant was spacious and fun and appears they'll have a lovely patio soon!

    Hot new spot in O'Fallon super nice inside can't wait till outside patio is open. Now there was a 30 min wait but u can go on open table app ahead of time helps. We had my five gfs for girls night out. Drinks n food. Now I'm per person is about 20$-40$ tab depends the meal or drinking. My bill was 100$ for two meals n two drinks. She charged me for guacamole my friend ate n charged everyone for. Mango margarita was good. Bit of a wait n server said kitchen was a mess. Cute decor and how nice they set up the place it doesn't look like a low grade Mexican spot u know. Tons of seating but not enough parking spots so be prepared.

    Service has been friendly and willing to answer questions. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the patio when completed should be fabulous. It is HUGE! Food looks and smells delicious . There was a little wait but it is only their second day open. It will get better!

When you enter there's a seating area of booths to the left. If you continue further there's another little space of seats, a full L shaped bar, and more seating in the bar area as well as an outside patio with seating. I definitely recommend coming before dinner time. If you come for dinner be prepared to wait. If you want to eat here with a large party I recommend asking about a reservation otherwise I'd advise against due to how busy it gets! I'm not a fav of the chips & salsa as the salsa isn't flavorful or chunky enough to me. For those like myself who prefer spice & more flavor I recommend getting their salsa picante & mixing the 2, so much better! Their margaritas are good, I prefer the blood orange vest but they have a large selection of marg flavors and a full bar. For food I've had the nachos, tamales, enchiladas (I recommend the enchiladas de pollo verdes), tacos, and chimichanga. I got my parents hooked on the tamales! I love that they serve them as not a lot of Mexican restaurants do here & I love that they put meat both inside and on top of them. The establishment is always clean, the staff is always friendly & welcoming, and you can tell theirs homemade recipes coming out of the kitchen. I recommend ending your meal with the churros! Overall their price point, staff efficiency, and the consistency with the food makes this the best Mexican restaurant I've had in the area which is why I keep coming back & would bring guests here.

They have a big parking lot and it was still rather busy on this Tuesday evening of my visit. It's a casual atmosphere and there were plenty of open seats when I visited. We decided to sit at the bar and we were immediately greeted and offered chips & salsa and they were ready for our drink order. I chose the fresh squeezed Cadillac margarita. It was very good and refreshing. We were brought chips and salsa that were better than average. My dining companion ordered other kinds of salsa that were quite spicy, and I liked it mixed with the regular salsa. I ordered the cheese tamale plate that came with three large cheese tamales, fluffy rice, a small lettuce and tomato mound, and vegetarian pinto beans that were quite tasty. The highlight of this visit was the staff. Five stars! They know how to treat customers well.
