It is our 60th wedding anniversary. We rode the metrorail and bus down the bus way from South Miami to Florida City to Rosita's for lunch. it is located at the end of the busway - last stop, right across from the Youth Hostel. We had been here once before, 30something years ago..At that time I was trying so hard to diet that I just sat and watched the rest of the family enjoying their meal. This time I selected the caldo de rez with three warm tortillas,onions, parsley, tastey rice, lime,(and I skipped the jallepeño peppers). there were bottles of elevating unmarked homemade sauces. The big chunks of beef were tender, carrots, cabbage, chunks of potato and piece of corn on the cob were were cooked just right so they retained their taste and individual textures. The broth was mild and not fatty. Our young waitress was helpful. The music was fun and relaxing, as were the decorations on the walls and ceiling. The atmosphere was casual. We sat at a table way at the back, so we could watch all the goings on from a little quieter spot. read more

Rosita's Mexican Restaurant proves you don't need a big fancy place to put out some seriously good food. It's a smaller, no-frills spot, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in authentic flavor. I stopped in for breakfast and ordered the breakfast burrito with chorizo and potatoes. This thing was LOADED! A big, hearty burrito packed with chorizo, eggs, potatoes, rice, beans, and plenty of flavor. Everything worked together perfectly, and you're definitely not leaving hungry. The salsa was another highlight. It tasted fresh and authentic with just the right amount of spice--enough heat to wake everything up without overpowering the food. If you're looking for a small local Mexican spot serving big portions and authentic flavors without all the fuss, Rosita's is worth checking out. That chorizo breakfast burrito alone is enough to bring me back! read more

We were trying to find a Mexican restaurant & had a hard time finding parking. Two ladies told us we had to eat here! They'd been eating there for 25 years! It was very good! It was a Sunday night & very busy with take out & in house dining, so service wasn't very good. We waited for a while & a waitress took our order. I asked about chips & salsa & she said they came with the meal. Finally one meal came & the shrimp cocktail. I asked about drinks and she got them. Then the chips & salsa and the other plate arrived. The beef chimichangas were delicious! We had shredded beef with the red sauce. The chips & salsa were good. We were stuffed! read more

Delighted to share that Rosita's is open again and the food is just as good as I remembered. According to our server, there is a new owner but the same cooks and that is a very good thing, indeed. We were greeted upon entry and immediately seated. Chips and salsa appeared quickly and drinks followed shortly thereafter (for the time being, no alcohol as the license hasn't been issued yet). My carne asada tacos were delicious. Fresh, warm tortillas filled with perfectly cooked steak served with soft Mexican rice and refried beans. Alongside was a bowl of diced onion and fresh cilantro to garnish. My spouse had the grilled chicken tacos with the same sides and enjoyed her meal immensely. Rosita's has always been a place to get fresh, authentic Mexican American cuisine at a reasonable price. The staff was friendly and attentive and the restrooms spotless. The whole menu looked enticing and I hope to continue exploring it on future visits. read more

The food is fantastic! If you like Mexican food try this restaurant i. The service is on super thank you julie for your great attention .

I been coming to this restaurant many years and the quality of the food has changed so much ......I ordered green enchiladas with rice and beans the portion was like kids size 3 mini enchiladas with rice and beans ...this place literally didn't even weigh like a half pound for 17.00 horrible I mean at least get 10.00 worth of food ...i knoe food expensive but this is a total rip off ....And one of girls there rolled her eyes at the other as they're saying me about me order thinking I'm not going to see them when I gave her my name instead of telling her what I ordered ......The girls there so unprofessional as I go in on phone bent over countertop like the so bored ...I will never buy here again such a rip off of money .. and I told the girl about the package feeling like nothing in there she didn't care ...horrible service not like years ago ...and I know prices have gone up but this is ridiculous read more

Fabulous. Not posh but honest to goodness family food. I had tilapia, salad, and awesome frijoles. Good margaritas. Hubby has Shrimp ala ranchera...loved them. Would eat here again in a New York Minute! read more

This is a hidden gem. We live almost two hours away but find reasons to go down to Florida city to visit just to get these tacos. The salsa and chips they give complimentary are always so good and the salsa is HOT! My mouth is watering just thinking about my lunch from there earlier. Get the tacos al carbon on their homemade corn tortillas - just trust me. The rice and beans are to die for also. The nachos are also great. Can't wait to come back!! I want to try their soups next, although everything that comes out of the kitchen looks excellent. read more

Had a wonderful lunch at Rosita's. We hadn't been here in a while and we were concerned because of some of the comments. The food is exactly as it was before (that means terrific) and the service was wonderful. Lots of vegetarian options and we loved the hot sauce. Under new management but the business stayed in the family with the same tasty recipes. Great choice for Mexican food. Good food, fair prices, nice portions, friendly service, plenty of parking, and nice and clean. What more could you ask for? read more

First meal of vacation on our drive to the Keys. We all really enjoyed Rositas! If you're confused on what to get, they even have pictures in the front of every menu item. The artwork and wall murals in the restaurant are super cool too, especially the bathroom doors. I've never had a shrimp cocktail like the one I've had here. It's a footed tulip sundae glass filled with shrimp and then saturated with a delicious seasoned tomato puree. Happy food dance happening. Pro tip- try their Michelada! It's made with beer, lime juice, spices, tomato juice with a really tasty Tajin rim. They also have some really awesome hot sauces here too- El Yukateco and Valentina. I've never had either before and they were both hot and delicious! If you're passing through Homestead, make this a stop. Your tastebuds will be very pleased. read more

I really enjoyed my enchiladas with red sauce. I got 1 chicken, and 2 ground beef, and it came with rice-n-beans. There were small potatoes in the ground beef which I really liked. Chips & salsa before the meal were fresh, and the salsa was very spicy. read more

What happened to the smaller crispy chimichangas? I am sad just got take out and not enough Red sauce and even though the chicken chimichangas are huge may be smaller would be what they used to make- Crust is not crunchyno crust Not what I remembered from last week looking forward to seeing the traditional recipe back again read more

Great food, authentic Mexican food. Their sauce is delicious and has maintained the same flavor and quality for years

We come here for the amazing authentic Mexican breakfast. We usually get the huevos rancheros with rice and beans and corn tortillas. The plates are very plentiful and soooo delicious. They are currently providing disposable menus, cups & utensils if you dine in. They also provide take-out as well. The tables are spacious enough as well. read more

This is so sad. This restaurant has always been a fantastic place. Not only the food was fantastic, the service, the ambience, and of course the price for the quality of food. I've been trying to go to it and it's always been closed which lead me to to say that pandemic took another great place. Which is to extremely sad, it was such a fantastic place to have to shit down. When you call to see if they're open, there's a recording that said that they are going through new ownership and new administration and will be closed until further notice. I just hope the new people handle it with the care and love like the old owners have for so many years. I wish them luck. I can't wait for it to open and I'll test it again. A loyal Rositas Customer. read more

excellente servicio y la comida muy buena. El lugar muy limpio, nos atendieron desde la puerta. Se lo recomiendo a todos.

We happened upon Rosita's by chance and could not have been more fortunate. My wife has not been happy with any Mexican restaurant since we moved to Florida, but she loved it. The beef chimichangas were fantastic, the pico de gallo was phenomenal, the guacamole was delicious, my wife thoroughly enjoyed the enchiladas and the salsa. This place is an absolute hidden gem! read more

Great authentic food at an excellent price. For $6, I had a taco, enchilada, and beans. They start you with chips and salsa. The tortillas tasted homemade. Portion size was good and not overwhelming. There is no bar or outside seating. It is a large dining room. It is clean and the staff is friendly and efficient. There is street parking on the side of the restaurant. I would return on my next trip down to the Keys. It is right off US1...very quick in and out dining. read more

DO NOT GO HERE ! They take your card information and then charge your card months later. My coworker noticed in her account she was charged twice over $100. So I checked my account and I was charged over $60 and I haven't even been there in over a month. When the owner and her workers were confronted they stated " it's not our problem, get out of our establishment" they all acted suspicious and they are DEFINITELY doing some type of fraud. read more

This place is closed indefinitely according to another local restaurant. We originally went here on Saturday evening and when we arrived, no lights or people. read more

I have passed by this place so many times and today we finally decided to try it and WOW it was amazing! We ordered tacos de barbacoa and carne asada and both were amazing. Great flavor the tortillas were soft and delicious and they are served with beans and Mexican rice with a side of onion and fresh cilantro. Everything was a winner and we cannot wait to go back and try their other options! Prices were affordable and it is super clean inside and there's a pretty nice amount of indoor seating. They also give you complimentary chips and amazing salsa with just the right amount of heat read more

Rosita's is an 'off the beaten path' family owned small restaurant. We never would have found it except that it's listed in Fodor's Florida Travel book. We tracked it down and were delighted with the whole experience. Service was great and the food was authentic Mexican. Well worth the effort to find the restaurant! read more

We ordered enchiladas and chicken fajita.. for fajita, it was average as it was very blunt and the flavors could not be distinguished. As someone who has been to a lot of Mexican restaurants, I know it can be better, plus they charge extra for the sour cream.. read more

I so very much enjoy true Mexican. In our area we don't have much real Mexican food, places like "Lime Fresh" are only too predominant and completely leave me disheartened. On occasion we can make it out to get some of the real thing. This trip to Homestead we decided to try a new place and found Rosita's through Yelp. The decor on the inside and out reminded me so much of the little Mom and Pop Mexican places in Chicago, and the food did as well. It was hearty honest to goodness delicious home made Mexican. Its small, quaint and well worth the visit. I had Chilaquiles with Chicken, and I have to say it was outstanding. I usually don't eat the re-fried beans and rice because they usually taste generic but here they were the real deal. read more
