    These tacos were killer bomb. I got the surf and turf with the consomé on the side, they didn't have any limes or horchata - which was disappointing but the flavor made up for it i'd say. Very much worth it, I hope to return soon.

    Taco combo plate
    Gilberto H.

    Went to this place before a Niner game and ordered the combo plate. The tacos were good and the consume was nice. However, the rice and beans were cool. The price of the combo plate was about $20 bucks. Customer service was good. Location is smaller than you would expect. They have a pretty nice San Jose mural inside the restaurant and a couple of TV's to watch the game.

    Dry refried beans undercooked rice tasted like tomato paste

    What is happening at this restaurant, seems the quality of food has hit rock bottom as well as the portions, barely minimal garnish onion cilantro. We ordered the largest plate and regretted every item in it: quesabirria plate with rice and beans, unable to eat it, rice tasted like tomato sauce and was crackingly hard and under Cooked, beans were so dry and disgusting looking, consommé was soo salty and cold, Is a restaurant but has no restrooms for customers, this is a health requirement how can they get away with not offering access to even hand washing.

    I recently visited Rosario Tacos and tried the quesabirria tacos. While they had good flavor, they were a bit dry and chewy. The consommé, which I was really looking forward to, ended up being quite underwhelming and lacked the rich flavor I was expecting. Overall, it's an okay spot for tacos, but I found it hard to justify the price given the quality. Despite this, I'm always on the lookout for great taco places and appreciate giving it a try.

    Came on a Saturday for lunch and it was packed. We waited a bit in line to order and were luckily able to get a seat after someone finished. They have a variety of tacos and burritos to choose from, but they are most famous for their birria tacos. The birria tacos are crispy, the meat is tender, the consome and hot sauce are so flavorful, and the cheese just melts everything together. There is only street parking so we did have to circle a few times to find a spot.

    Probably the best birria I've ever in a while. Meat was tender, cheese was perfectly grilled (crunchy), soup was very flavorful (seemed like they boiled that for a long time, side sauce was not too spicy but not too mild. Their serving size is decent and it's a pretty small, cozy place. Music is fire there and staff seemed chill. Burrito was big and probably won't finish it in one serving! Shrimp taco was okay, not their specialty. Their horchata was thick and milky. Definitely more of a 4.5 stars but it's still GOOD GOOD. Overall, great place and recommend visiting. It's great!

    My husband and I came here when we were out of town for a soccer tournament. I'm glad we chose this place. We got the birria tacos. The tacos and consome were freshly made. Both were so delicious. Packed with flavor. The guy at the register was super friendly. This is a must-try restaurant.

    We have been wanting to try this place since I saw them on my friend's IG. Bookmarked them and finally tried to order them the Friday before the 4th of July weekend and they were not taking orders for that day. Not sure how often this happens, but I would suggest to order a day ahead to assure you get a chance to eat the yummy goodness the day you want it. To avoid missing out again I preordered on Monday to pick up on Friday, which is today. The ordering is different as you text your order and they send you a Venmo request for the amount you owe. After you pay, they send you their address to pick up the food. Right when we got there, the guy asked for our number and quickly knew our order. He gave us two containers of consommé. Sprinkled some onions on top and gave us out food. The entire ride home which was only a few minutes away, the car had the amazing aroma of the consommé and birrias. First bite was amazing and dipping in the consommé made it even better. Each one had a ton of meat and even the consommé had chunks of meat in there. Problem is the husband and daughter can't take much spice so these birrias were too spicy for them. They had to drink a lot of milk to calm their mouths. Definitely worth a try! I wonder if we can request for less spicy next time. Glad we tried it.

    3.5 stars. Our first attempt to order Rosario's was on a Saturday, MLK weekend. When we tried calling, no one picked up but we received a text afterwards saying that they were "Sold Out" for the day. Our second attempt, my fiancé called Rosario Tacos around 11am on a Tuesday and they picked up pretty quickly. He told them that we wanted to order some birria tacos for 12:30pm pick-up. The guy on the other line said that he'll send him a text with a link to pay by Venmo but my fiancé preferred to pay cash. Since my fiancé asked to pay cash, we only had to pay $40 flat but they wouldn't make our tacos until we've arrived...due to the fact that they've had "bad apples" before who said they'll pay cash upon arrival but never showed up. The guy said it'll only take 5-10 minutes for them to make the tacos once we've arrived and paid. We got a text with the address and "Please wear a mask when you walk up." Super easy phone call. The guy on the phone was informative. We arrived at the location, which was actually their house. They had their garage open with a "Rosario's Tacos" banner inside and a grilling area setup. Parking was easy since we were just in a neighborhood. We ordered.. 8 BIRRIA TACOS $4.75 each (+tax) -super meaty and cheesy. Very filling. We enjoyed the crispy edges! Generous with their consommé, which had bits of meat in it too. We got our tacos within 5 minute and it took us 15 minutes to get home. The tacos and consommé stayed hot on the drive home and the tacos were still slightly crispy around the edges. They also offer catering!

    I had this spot bookmarked for a few months now. So glad I finally got to try them out!! To order, I DM'ed them on their instagram page the night before since I was planning to get some Birria tacos with a friend! They responded so fast, within the same minute!! I asked if I can order some Birria tacos to pick up after work the next day (aka today). One thing to note: make sure to bring a box or bag to hold your items or even a friend/partner to hold the items. I had to drive super slow n careful so it didn't fall over in my car :P The tacos are meat-y af! He does not skimppp on the meat!!! The tortilla got the perfect crisp. The flavor is bombbb, got a little kick to it. A little more on the pricier end, but I'm always down to support small businesses!

    The birria tacos are freaking amazing. Totally worth the strange way of ordering them XD

    Hot damn, these are some great tacos. Probably some of the best I've had in the Bay Area, and up there with Tacos el Gordo and Leo's Taco Truck in SoCal in terms of best tacos I've had. Thanks to the Yelp Silicon Valley Instagram page... I discovered birria tacos from Rosario's and it lived up to the hype. The offering of birria tacos seems to be a new gig in light of COVID, as they're usually a catering service. Hopefully it sticks around afterwards because these birria tacos are legit. Purchasing them is a little odd... but worth the slight akwardness: - You must either send them a DM on Instagram/Facebook or call them directly - they'll text you instructions on how to pay via Venmo/Apple Pay and where to pick up. The dude on the phone was super friendly, so if you get anxiety calling in an order... don't! - Minimum order quantity of 4 tacos per order, and for every 4-5 tacos they give you a cup of consomme for dipping the tacos in. Each taco is about $5 each... expensive, but worth it IMO. - The tacos are prepared at an undisclosed location, but trust me they are made fresh. Plus they were wearing masks when we stopped by to pick up. - I would recommend calling ahead anyways as they can run out for the day. The tacos themselves are perfect - right amount of meat, cheese, and seasoning. The taco is crispy but the meat is super tender and flavorful. I love how they melt the cheese on the tortilla to make it a quesabirria. Each bite is an explosion of rich savoriness, especially dipped in that consomme. I've tried a few birria tacos in the area from a variety of places, but these satisfy in terms of flavor and texture. Fair warning - you may experience a food coma after eating 4 of these... they're quite filling. Also if you have leftover consomme... try saving it and adding it ramen. Even the consomme has some chunks of meat on it and it's a great use of leftovers.

    My go to place for birria tacos. Trust me when I say these are the BEST. Pricey but you really get what you pay for. Each taco is FILLED with meat, cheese and hot sauce. I can eat about 2 tacos before I tap out. Their consomé is also really flavorful and beefy-- best I've ever had. They even have surprise chunks of beef in the consomé!!! Text or call to order, they reply quick and you pay through venmo. Tacos are usually made fresh as soon as you arrive too!

    I've been DYING to try Birria tacos, literally salivating over every instagram and Tiktok video on it. This place is actually locating in the shop owner's garage! Which i actually love cause it feels like the family soul was poured into these tacos. These tacos definitely lived up to the hype. The shell has the perfect crunch and softness ratio. The sauce was a little saltier to my liking but still delicious. The cherry on top was the melted cheese inside. Please come here to buy your birria tacos! SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES

I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

They charged us for an adult Chicken and Waffles even though we sent it back and got the correct kids' portion I originally ordered. They also charged us for TWO molcajetes when only ONE came out. The check went from $265 to $200 after we caught everything. 1000000% they were hoping we wouldn't notice. I could believe it was an honest mistake if two molcajetes had come out, but they didn't. Since gratuity was already included, it really makes me wonder how many people have overpaid without realizing it. We came in with a group of 6. Everything was okay at first. We ordered chips with salsa and beans, and the beans were delicious, so we ordered a second round. At most restaurants, chips and salsa are free, so we assumed the same here. Unfortunately, we were never told the second round wasn't free, or that only one refill was included, and no one asked if we were okay with the additional charge. My dad and I shared the molcajete, which was pretty good, had enough meat, and was literally BOILING hot. My MIL and husband both ordered the Carne Asada plate. It was tasty but had really small portions, so we had to share our food with them to fill them up. My kids ordered French toast and chicken strips. They were originally supposed to get Chicken and Waffles, but they were out of waffles or couldn't make them--I'm not really sure. This is where the problems started. I specifically said KIDS chicken & waffles twice when ordering, but they brought out the adult size for my oldest, which was $8 more. Fine, we can call that an honest mistake, but then it was also charged on the final bill even after we sent it back. Unfortunately, after everything with the bill, we will NOT be going back here again.

My wife is Latina, so we're pretty familiar with authentic Latin/Mexican flavors, and from the moment we walked in, we were a little unsure of what to expect. We completely understand we're in Willow Glen and that Copita is going for a more upscale take, but for us, authenticity and flavor still have to be at the heart of the experience. Our waitress was very friendly and polite, and this review is absolutely not a reflection of her service. However, when we asked about the style of the food, there seemed to be a little hesitation in explaining it, which made us even more uncertain about what we had gotten ourselves into. I don't like bashing restaurants or their food, so I'll simply say that, unfortunately, the highlight of our meal was the chips and salsa. The cocktails, on the other hand, were good and definitely not shy on the alcohol! Also, don't expect large portions. The restaurant is clearly aiming for a more upscale presentation and experience, so the plates reflect that. Overall, Copita just wasn't for us. This was our first visit and unfortunately will probably be our last. I genuinely wish them success, but I think a few changes, especially when it comes to the flavors and authenticity of the food could make a big difference.
