Good: promptly seated, pleasant service, clean restaurant and rest rooms. My wife enjoyed her shredded beef burrito. We enjoyed the chips and salsa. Rice was okay. Lunch special prices were decent. Needed Improvement: I had birria tacos, and I expected the consumé as a condiment. It turned out the street tacos I got just had shredded beef dipped in the consumé. Disappointed I didn't get more info on it. I'm a fan of refried beans at Mexican restaurants but I'm not a fan of their refried beans. Not sure what the unusual flavor was these beans had -- kinda smoky, I'm thinking chipotle. I wanted to like it but in the end they just tasted "off". The service was not great; it was one and done. He took our orders, dropped off our plates, never checked afterwards. Bottom line: this place has shredded beef burritos that are hands-down my wife's favorite of every place we've been in the Valley. So, patronize them for that reason, if that's your go-to item. My tastes would lead me elsewhere. read more

Rosa's Mexican Grill - Birria Tacos Lunch Special (minus one taco I shared with my wife) - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We went here for lunch wanted to try a new place! It's not in the best area of town it's a little sketchy but as you pull up, the signage is really nice and inviting when you walk in the atmosphere is great, the decorations and the vibe that they have in there was a pleasant surprise. I loved how it was decorated! The lady who greeted us immediately took us back to a table, the waitress took a little while to get to us. She was not very friendly, She just seemed like she wanted to know what we were getting and get on with her shift! The chips were great. I like the red chunky salsa, The green one was a little bit sweet, but it was still really good. So Like I said, we had never been to this restaurant before so we were going to order the lunch. Special plate is a taco and enchilada or Tostadas so we assumed that you could get a taco with either an enchilada or tostada! But in reality it's literally one taco the rice and beans or the enchilada, rice and beans or a tostada! So that could've been a little bit more clear, but that wasn't bad! We ended up getting two plates we got shredded beef crispy taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. So I started with the beans and honestly, I don't know if they were burnt or what was going on with them because I have never tasted refried beans Have this flavor. It's something I can't describe. They were not very good at all, the rice was bland there was no flavor in those. I noticed that there was a lime on my plate so I actually squeeze the lime on everything just to give it some flavor and cover up the flavor of the beans a little. The taco was decent. It needed a lot of salsa to give it flavor because it was lacking in that area as well. And the enchilada was the worst. I couldn't even eat more than a bite ,My husband couldn't swallow because of how thick the cheese was. It was pretty bad honestly it feels like they cut a block of cheese, wrapped the thinthinnest tortilla over it and just threw sauce and more cheese on top of it. By the time it got to our plate, and by the time we were able to get to the enchilada, it was like the cheese, solidified and hardened so I took one bite and he took maybe two but we could not finish it. Honestly it's very disappointing to go to a restaurant expecting to have a good experience and it's not.. We literally felt like we wasted our time and our money. It was a very unpleasant unfortunate experience. We will not be coming back here as we left all the women were on their phones only one looked up to date goodbye! Where's the professionalism! There should be no phones if the customers are going to be neglected. That might be why our waitress was in a hurry when she took our order! Other than the ambience being nice I do not recommend this place. read more

Sooo disappointing. We took our daughter and son-in-law with our three grandchildren here for lunch today. We were excited to try it and all seemed okay at first. Got our drinks quickly and the salsa was good with the chips. Thinking things were going to be awesome. NOT. We ordered our food and I had a two crispy tacos with a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. My wife ordered the beef, pork and chicken with rice and beans. When the plates arrived, they weren't even warm. The tacos were cold and the rice was cold. My wife's plate was loaded but again it wasn't even warm. It seemed like everything on her plate had been smoked with the meat. The service was a slow too and I noticed other people looking around for their server too. We won't be going back. Such a shame because it was a clean place and we had high hopes. read more

Really enjoyed our meal here. Sweet pork chimichanga was great. Only complaint was that some of the pork was a bit dry-- hopefully an unusual, not a regular, problem. Chips and salsa are my favorite here. (Although my husband finds the salsa too sweet). Good service and nice ambiance. read more

Rosa's Mexican Grill - Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

0 stars. The entire restaurant was waiting over an hour for food. They seemed to be really understaffed. Everyone kept going to the front to ask where the food is. The food was not even worth the wait. All the meats were super dry and just made the whole thing really inedible. The staff was nice enough but there's not really excuse for making the entire restaurant wait an hour for their food. read more

Great service by Sophie. We loved the duck and apple salad. Fantastic recommendation and amazing sunset views? Gorgeous

Chips came out warm with two different dips. The red has just a tad too much chill seasoning but several large chunks of tomato and onion. The green sauce was sweet, but very enjoyable. I was happy to see a large woman in the kitchen as that usually means the food is good. It did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was spot on. read more

Was in Mesa for a meeting and ran across the place. Somewhat classic strip-mall family Mexican joint. Menu covers all the standards and a few extras. Service was fast and friendly. Chips and salsa were interesting. The red and green sauce have a slight sweetness to them. Not something that is common. The red was more to my liking as the green had the more pronounced sweet flavor. The chips were crispy and fresh. For lunch, I opted for one of the lunch specials - A bean tostada with rice and beans. Only $10 so a good call. All the food was good. Plenty of beans on the tostada and covered in lettuce, tomato, and cheese. The refried beans were the most interesting part - they have a subtle smokiness to them. Again, not something I was expecting. When in Mesa, perhaps worth a look, N*joy read more

Great food at reasonable prices. Gets crowded sometimes. Make reservations or go on off hours.

Went here for a rehearsal dinner, and the service was great! Drinks were fun and we had our own room in the back! The food was good and the desserts were gigantic! read more

The service was great and waiter was attentive and nice. The appetizer we got was the mini chimichangas and they did not disappoint they were packed and delicious. We tried the mango,peach,strawberry and regular margaritas and they were excellent. Great experience and would definitely go there again. read more

Rosa's is a completely average hole-in-the-wall Mexican place with gourmet prices that just don't match the quality of the food. It may have been the least impressive Mexican food I've had in Arizona. I ordered mole enchiladas and they were just fine. Nothing special, but nothing bad about them. But to pay $25 for this plate of tortillas, rice, beans, and a few pieces of chicken is a little outrageous. I feel like I've had better for cheaper from food trucks. I will say the service was nice. Our waitress was friendly and brought everything out quickly. But the food was not something I would recommend anyone go out of their way for. read more

I was with a large 12 person family group. Rosa's did a good job accommodating our group in a semi-private area. They do have chips and salsa (chunky fresh red and a sweet green tomatillo) for the table. The chunky red tastes fresh and has great cilantro and tomato flavor. The green is my favorite and is on the sweet side. I order the combo fajitas (chicken and steak). The entree was $28 and they have Coke products. The chicken was super tender and had a great flavor. The steak had a good flavor but maybe my cut of meat wasn't great because it was a bit chewy. I had to cut it with my knife to make it work in the tortillas. It came with a generous helping of guacamole and sour cream with beans and rice. I think it also had 4 tortillas as well. It could have fed 2 people easy. I'm big and I barely finished. Great food and great service and ambiance. read more

Great food great service and nice ambience for a cozy Mexican restaurant. Had a fun time. Great menu

Great food. Horrible service. We had to bus our own table. Waiter was absent. Prices super high. Cheaper food at high end Scottsdale restaurants! read more

We waited a bit at the front door to be seated. Once we were seated we ordered jalapeno margaritas which were not spicy at all. Tacos al pastor were flavorful and there was a lot of meat. Red chili pork tamales which were very tasty. Enchiladas mariscos was amazing... overall quick service !!!! read more

This is probably our 4th or 5th time we've been here! Every year when we come to AZ for Spring Training, we stop here for at least one meal! Today I am getting a Frozen Mango Margarita , it's perfectly made, not too sweet, not too much tequila! (I got a second Margarita...on the rocks this time) Normally I enjoy their Horchata, but since I got the Margarita today, I didn't. I decided to have the sweet pork chimichangas! Amazing! read more

Rosa's continues to be our very favorite Mexican restaurant. Their baja Mexican menu is alway full of consistently delicious food. The seafood tacos paired with the Rice and smokie refried beans is an excellent Summer treat. Best Margaritas around. The service is friendly and takes excellent care to keep our drinks filled and make sure if we need anything. Thank-you for your many years excellent service. read more

Great food service is good. The restaurant provides a nice ambience. We ordered their taco crisp with cheese. It was absolutely perfect. Haven't had one like that since so we'll be going back when we get close. read more

This was the first Mexican restaurant that we tried 25 years ago when we moved to AZ. IT's not as crowded and the service and food are still amazing. My wife had the Beef Enchiladas and I had the Shrimp Burrito. Both were savory and delicious. The refried beans were the best my wife has had and all the food came out piping hot. Our server was attentive and the place still had the beautiful Mexican decor. read more

Really nice old school hole in the wall with great tile. Love the Smokey beans. I had the fajitas which were good. Nothing particularly wrong. Good service and coke products. Only down side is the extreme prices. I get there is inflation but nothing I ate was above ordinary in the product category. This is hole in the wall Mexican with gourmet prices. If it was the best Mexican I ate then maybe. I would go back but it's so expensive it's bank breaking. For example a single taco a la cart $15. Variously Queen charges $5 and they are similar sizes But still thumbs up if you can afford a $200 meal read more

1-they are very dog friendly. It was 105° outside, but we were shown to a booth with our dog. The waiter even brought out a container of water for him. 2- the chunky guacamole was the BEST, and could be a meal by itself. 3- the food platters are HUGE and delicious. We had chicken enchiladas with mole, and a corn tamale and cheese enchilada. Neither my husband nor I could finish our meals. Well worth a stop! read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time today and we were very impressed. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, the servers are wonderfully friendly and upbeat, and the menu is full of amazing dishes we will be returning to try more of! The salsa verde is the best I've ever had. I ordered the glazed salmon salad, which turned out to be the perfect summer salad complete with strawberries and orange slices that paired well with the salmon glaze. Hubby ordered the steak fajitas and was very happy with the well seasoned meat and veggies and generous portions. Highly recommend! read more

I used to eat at the Rosa's off mckellips which I really enjoyed. The environment was awesome with all the decorations, service was pretty good and the food tasted great. They always have had this location which was their primary location so I give it a shot. Not necessarily in the best parking lot which is right next to Fallas. Still has a great traditional Mexican decorations and with plenty of seating I remember being a bit fan of the beans. They have this nice smokey taste to it so I went with the veggie burrito with a side of beans. The burrito is huge and for sure it couldn't be eaten all at one sitting unless you want to take a nap shortly after. The burrito was good but I felt like it was a majority of beans with very little veggies within the burrito. I wish there was a bit more more filling other than beans but the burrito wasn't too bad. The beans tasted good but I might of went overkill with beans cause that's all I felt like I was eating. The savior was the green salsa that really is a tasty salsa that has a little heat and a nice sweet taste. I can just eat that and the chips all day All in all, it's a pretty good portion of food, tons of chips and salsa and the food was just average. read more

I ordered a taco salad no meat with black beans. What I got was a bunch of lettuce, and a crap ton of mandarins, like who puts mandarins in a taco salad!!! I just told the lady what I wanted and fit the opposite. I could have let it slide if it was good but it was nasty!!! Even the green salsa was weird it was to sweet! I paid 20$ for stupid ass rabbit food!!! They should be ashamed!!! read more

First time here, what a pleasant surprise. Great local ambience. Ordered the lunch size papaya chicken salad and it was very colorful and tasty. Large menu and lots of selections.

The outside does not match the interior/ When you enter, the walls are covered in hand painted tiles lending an authentic flavor to the space. We were met immediately with menus and a server ready for drink orders. Sadly they're are no beers on tap but the bottled beers are ice cold. I ordered a tamal and cheese enchilada in red sauce. All entrees come with rice and beans and chips with salsa. The chips are delightfully thin and crispy and salsa is fresh with lots of oregano. The entree portions are served on heated platter and are huge!!! The beans are so good, best I've ever had, and vegetarian at that. Lots of smoked mesquite flavor... delish!!!! Rice was well seasoned and ample. The tamale was sweet ish with a good helping of delicious red sauce. And I had a cheese enchilada as well with tons of cheese. The enchilada came home with me for later. I will be bringing friends and family here, the ambiance. The food and decor... the whole package. read more

Went tonight with my boyfriend and the food was AMAZING! The two waiters were seating, cleaning, and serving the entire restaurant by themselves. With smiles on their faces they were working so hard to take care of all the tables including some large groups. Great to see such good work ethic in what looked like a stressful rush, and they remained so polite under pressure. Food came out quick and everything was delicious. read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in the Phoenix-Mesa area then Rosa's Mexican Grill is for you! The atmosphere makes you feel as though you were really in Mexico.

I used to eat here all the time as a kid and I remember how great the food was and how busy it was. Surprised to see they were not busy on a Thursday night but the tables are fairly distanced and there is outdoor seating. The food was amazing! A little on the pricy side but worth it. Had the spinach enchiladas which comes with corn and black beans. Such great flavor and I'm not much of a coked spinach person. Friend had the taco and tostada plate which he loved. Shared the fried ice cream and he hates fried ice cream but loved it bc of the shredded coconut mixed with the cornflakes. read more
