I was surprised by my experience because of the low rating and bad reviews. My family and I were in a bit of a hurry and knew that going into a sit down place could take awhile. They got us in quickly, ordered, and food came out amazingly fast! It was hot fresh and good quality. The service was great and if I were in the area again I would go back. I had chicken and steak fajitas and my sister had shrimp- tender meat and I liked that they put tomatos in the peppers and onions. Dad had enchiladas and the green chili was a good spice and not to runny. Mom had fish tacos and they did not taste fishy. Salsa was good. Chips were the only thing lacking they tasted like they were just pulled out of a Costco bag. read more

Rosita's has been a family favorite for more than 25 years. Anyone that hates on this place either has no tastebuds or doesn't know anything about authentic Mexican food. I highly recommend Rosita's. The only thing better is my grandma's home cooking and Rosita's is second best for our family. read more

Well back again, a month later. Last time we had 14 people, this time 18. What an awesome meal! I had my usual, Navajo egg rolls and my wife had menudo with added carnita's. The menudo was very simillar to my homemade version, it was a pretty good size bowl and really had great flavor. The tripe was cooked perfectly in my opinion. I can't begin to describe the deliciousness of that Navajo egg roll. It's egg roll wrappers filled with seasoned ground beef, potatoes, freshly diced jalapeno's and onions, then deep fried. Served with beans, rice, a cup of green chili , and a little bit of rabbit food as garnish. My brother and sister-in-law had the Pablito (stuffed sopapilla) with shredded beef and extra cheese. Now I know what I'm getting next time, YUP, stuffed sopapilla. They were a thing of beauty! This place even serves fried bologna with eggs and potatoes. The waiter was awesome, with that many people he keeped his cool and provided us with great food and excellent service.They gave us separate bills for 5 different families which most places have a heart attack over. Can't wait to go back for that Pablito! Good job Rosita's. read more

Rositas - Menudo with added carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

See all

Absolutely love there food! Nice to have original menu items and good fresh food ! The fact they have a low carb option is just a major bonus!! read more

By far the WORST mexican restaurant I have ever been to. This is the kind of restaurant that makes Casa Bonita's food seem 5 stars. Don't get me wrong, the staff was friendly and service was excellent. But the food... THE FOOD!! The ground beef tasted legit like 3 day old taco bell, and the chicken tasted like 3 day old KFC! "Guacamole" was just cut up avocado. Green chile had a decent amount of meat but again it tasted old and dried out, not spicy even though I ordered "extra hot". All in all, I will not be going back to this restaurant and would never recommend it. read more

Rositas - Mexican Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

Worst "mexican" place I have ever been to. Where to even start. The chips were stale, and I'm pretty sure they were just Tostitos bought from the grocery store. The basket they brought was half full and The salsa tasted like they just poured store bought salsa into the bowl. We finished the half full basket of stale chips and never got a refill even after our waitress came back and looked and saw it was empty. Water glasses were never refilled even though she walked by several times. There was also only 6 other people in the entire place, so it wasn't poor service because they were busy, which would be understandable. Food was very overpriced and not flavorful. Just a terrible experience overall. read more

Very pricey for Mexican food in general and definitely too much for the quality of food. Chips were stale, entrees not great and happy hour drinks way too expensive. Love most Mexican around this part of town but was not impressed with this place. read more

My entire family has been sick for 3 days after eating at this restaurant. I call and speak with a manger to let her know they need to check their food and she hands the food over to the owner. The owner tells me the Deal with it because it's not something I can prove they are responsible for and if I have a problem with them I need to call the Health Dept. to come check them out becuase nothing will happen to them unless 20 people call to let them know they are sick as well then she hung up on me. Never once did anyone apologize or show any interests that their food is making people ill. The owner is rude and disrespectful, the service sucked and 5 people in my family ended up with food poising including my kids and no one there cared at all. Do not waste your money there, its not worth your health. read more

Rosita here we go... Rosita's is "It'l Do" Mexican Food, i.e., average. I have been here several times and tried almost everything on the menu. My only complaint about this place is that it is inconsistent, one time you will have a very very great meal, then the next time it will be mediocre. The prices have jumped up a little since the last time I've been here. The atmosphere is nice as well as a decent wait staff. They tend to be busy on Sat and Sun mornings. My Favorite Mexican food in town is Camargo's 44th wyndot in Denver. They make their own flour tortillas (hot & fresh ) fresh homemade green chile...and they are always always consistent! Rosita's I will give you 3 Stars...that's it! read more

As noted in the first review, the Navajo egg rolls are a must. Crisp, meaty, zesty, and delicious. One warning - they come out hot. Like, really hot. Bite carefully. I've tried many of the dishes and have thoroughly enjoyed each. There's nothing fancy here - just good, fresh, home-style food. This is a great place for a simple yet delicious meal with friendly and attentive service. Enjoy! read more

This was the worst "mexican" food ever ! This was the worst food ever!! Seriously, nothing tasted authentic. Don't waste your time here! read more

We've been coming to Rositas for years! Can not beat their breakfast potatoes and GREEN CHILI. Love their salsa and always fast service. It's definitely one of our family's go to spots. My daughters favorite is their chili fries, they are pretty darn good. My go to is smothered breakfast burrito. read more

We drove by this place heading to somewhere else. The wait was way too long so we drove back to Rosita's!! Omg thank god! We found a gem finally!! I had the Carnitas burrito covered it awesome. We will definitely be back. Lots of other items on the menu to try. If they as good as the Carnitas. Oh yeah!!! read more

Every bite was blaaaah. No flavor anywhere. Too much money to spend eating chewy air flavored food. Won't be returning. Two starts because the staff was friendly. But food only would just get 1 star. read more

Delicious every time! Prices and helpings are fair too. Thanks to my friend Rodger for referring me here.He gets burritos for Christmas morning Christmas Eve day? Year after year,his family tradition! That's what Dads do! read more

Cheap, horrible slop drizzled on dirty dishes. Good luck finding your server. You will find a group of employees loitering, enthralled with their phones in the back room. Food barely fit for hogs. Simply look at the pics others have posted. Zero stars. read more

Have had problems with my orders being wrong here. I don't eat cheese, so that can be an issue at a Mexican restaurant. So I try to understand, however several times my order was wrong and my husband was already done with his food by the time mine was fixed. So we both ate alone. Today we ordered breakfast burritos, they were listed on the menu as EGG, potato, and meat. Neither burrito had much egg at all. Matter of fact I opened my burrito to give some of my egg to my husband as he loves eggs and I could not find any. He told the waitress this really doesn't have any egg can I get one scrambled egg. Waited while food got cold, but finally got an egg. We got the bill. $2.25 for ONE egg. Totally overpriced when all we were asking for is to get what was originally ordered. I have found in past it does no good to complain, nothing is ever done to compensate for THEIR errors. I will not be coming back. Nothing changes here. read more

This is not the place to go if you want spicy authentic Mexican food. We sat down and what felt like 20 minutes was probably more like a 10 minutes wait to be greeted by our server. That was ultimately our chance to walk out..but we decided to stay as our bellies were rumbling. The house margarita was so tart is reminded us of the nasty bud light margarita drink. Yuck! We ordered the chicken and beef deep fried tacos which had zero seasoning and tasted like they were stale taco shells from a box. To say the least we won't be coming back. It may be more suitable for people who can't have ANY sort of spice. Cheers! read more

I came here once back in maybe 2009 and was unimpressed. About a year ago we gave it another shot and I am glad we did. We have started bring my teenage nephews here who now live with us and it has become our go to place for Mexican food when we are in the area. The service is good, quick, and friendly. My friend really likes the guac salad and orders it faithfully every time we go. read more

Food was Great! Service was good. I will definitely go back. Good portions of Food. Atmosphere seems a little out dated inside. Server did not seem too happy. read more

Nice atmosphere, very good service, but, as is mentioned in another review, kind of uninspired. My combo plate came without rice and beans. The Enchilada was gloopy, but decent. The Chile Relleno was a hunk of fried, drippiness with almost no chile, and little else. The Guacamole Tostada was about a C-. Salsa was outstanding, and the beer glass came very chilled, which was nice. On a Saturday evening at prime time, the place was only about 1/3 full...... read more

I like Rosita's because they have "Low Carb" flaunta and fajita's. Since I am always on a diet, it makes me feel better about eating Mexican food. Also, my husband like the extra HOT green chilli. The prices are also very reasonable. read more

Used to live in CO over 10 years ago and always enjoyed going to Rositas when in town. We went to dinner here this week while on vacation here visiting family and had the worst experience ever. Service was way slow and notice no prices on drink or menu list. We were told it was happy hour and all drinks where 1/2 price. When we received our check the showing 3 beers it showed each beer $4.64 - .50 cent NOT 50% off the waitress told us. So each beer cost us $4.14! In addition our water never got refilled, our food took forever to come, the food was cold and their customer service was rude and unprofessional. We are never going back! So sad! They used to be one of my favorite places to eat Mexican food in Colorado. We are going to Las Delicious and Torres Mexican restaurants from now on. read more

OK, this is not going to be easy...We stopped in here for lunch after I was forced to carry a sectional down three flights of stairs. I have been here before and I have always liked the food. We got chips and salsa within about a minute...score one for Rosita's. The salsa was decently spicy and fresh tasting. It was also cold which is another personal must for me. Cold salsa just tastes better to me. So we enjoyed the chips and salsa while we waited for our server to take our drink order. We continued to wait for our server to take our drink order...I guess we were not going to place a drink order after all...at least 5 full minutes passed before our waitress came to take our order...STRIKE 1!!!, maybe even STRIKE 2!!! Our waitress took our order shortly after we ordered our drinks (but before we got our drinks). We continued to wait for our drinks...We finished our basket of chips and salsa without any much desired moisture. Several minutes later two workers walked up to our table with our food order...still no drinks...wow, If this isn't STRIKE 3 than I don't know what would be... I guess I should talk about the food. That high pitch was actually a nasty curve-ball that dropped in over the plate to freeze the batter and strike him out looking...the food was very good. I ordered the carnitas. they were grilled to slightly crispy and then placed on a bed of green chili. I did request some additional chili so I could smother my carnitas. The only thing that could have made them better would be some included guacamole and some pico or lettuce...and the green chili is very tasty and even slightly spicy. My wife ordered a combo with a chili rellano, a guac. tostada, and a cheese enchilada. She loved hers. Too bad the service was so...strange...I have NEVER gotten my food before my drinks... I give this place 3 ole's out of 5 ole's....might be worth your trip if service aint your bag...the food is pretty darn good here... read more

Place has gone downhill. Over priced food, not worth the headache of trying to get decent food or service. ROSITA'S MEXICAN RESTAURANT, not sure if it's under new management or what but food was gross, fries taste like everything they have fried in the same oil for I don't know how long, you can literally smell the grease in the parking lot. The manager fought with us about how good the food tasted and how everyone who works there likes the food. Well yes lady everyone is gonna say that so they don't get fired. Well needless to say management did nothing not even replace or remove fries from our order probably like $3 it would have cost for her to take off the order, just petty. No, I do not and will not recommend this restaurant. read more

Like many of us, I've eaten at a lot of mexican food restaurants so I'm familiar with the 'art of the up charge'. These guys take it to a whole new level. I spoke with the owner about my concerns and he actually laughed at me. I order a ground beef burrito - $3.65. Smothered with green chili - 1.15 extra. No problems to this point. The waitress then asks, "would you like cheese inside or on top"? I decide on top. My two buddies each order the Super Burrito - $9.85. They are big boys and were interested in a ten dollar burrito. Still no issues. The food arrive quickly, my burrito coming out first. It's sizable......and it has beans, so I ask the waitress if this is my burrito. She says yes, and offers to bring one with no beans - I decline, because I'm a pretty easy-going diner. Next by buddy's Super Burritos arrive - they are the exact same size as mine so we inquire as to the difference. The waitress sheepishly replies, "there is no difference....I generally try and tell people that, but they order it anyway". My friend then retorts, "you never mentioned that to me". Silence. We finish our meals......not bad food, but not good enough that I would frequent the place if they weren't rip-off artists. Our checks come and I notice the $1.15 up charge for cheese (my son also ordered a bean and cheese burrito (cheese on top) - $1.15 up charge). Some things just rub me wrong and this did, so I decided to do what I normally do in situations where the waitress follows owners instructions to deceive patrons - I take the $2.30 out of the tip. Problem solved and no YELP review necessary......It was the owners attitude that prompted this review. My hope is I save 1 diner or a couple hundred thousand diners the consternation of having to deal with this situation and an owner that truly does not understand the power of being honest. read more

This is an okay spot for gringo mex. A friend of mine is related to the owners so I've been a few times. Thicker style green chile with loads of cheese kind of place. Decent but not one of my faves. read more

I haven't eaten here in quite a long time, but the couple of times I visited nothing really stood-out. If you're looking for boring, uninspired Mexican food, this place is for you. read more

Here, ye, here ye, Awful dry food. This place is no good. Really just went here because we live across the street. Never again. Also salsa tasted like marinara sauce. read more

I have been eating here for a very long time and it is the standard I use to compare all other Mexican restaurants! Highly recommend the "blue" margaritas!! They have the best green chili and guacamole! Family run business that treats their customers like a member of the family. Try it, you will not be disappointed! read more

I don't like to give bad reviews but I've been here 3 times now and all three were really bad. I tried to give it a couple more tries but was thoroughly disappointed each time. I give it two stars because the service is pretty good and the salsa is good too. The carnitas are dry. The side of onions, cilantro and guacamole were definitely passed their shelf life. The cilantro had soggy black leaves. The raw onion smelled terrible and was slimy. The guacamole tasted store bought and also was browned. The chips were also store bought. Nothing seemed fresh at all. The chili is decent but lacks depth and spice. Right when you walk in, there's a terrible smell. We should have known by that, that this place is not so good. They have things on their menu that say "award winning" and "famous" I find that pretty hard to believe because again NOTHING is fresh. The margaritas tasted like a glass full of sour mix. I do not recommend this place AT ALL! read more

I believe I had the fajitas and they were pretty awesome! Large portion, fresh ingredients, and yummy tortillas! The staff was all very accommodating and our waitress was super nice! I was visiting family when I went here and it was empty inside, however my Mom says anytime she drives by its almost always packed! Really nice job guys! read more

I have been going here for years and I have a few points to make. Haters out there if you want authentic Mexican go to Mexico,. If you want five star dining go to a five star restaurant. This is a diner with diner food. That being said, portions are always good for the price. I never order the hamburgers because they just sound awful. Enchilada's are always good. The breakfast menu is the better one though. My favorite is their chicken fried steak and they have increased the value on this one. It use to be the frozen type you get from every other diner but today I got an actual steak. Their breakfast burritos are also good. Service has always been friendly and fast. It also has a family friendly atmosphere. If you are looking for fine dining this is not the place. If you are looking for fast descent food at a good price this is the place. It is like the Mexican version of a Village Inn. If that helps. read more

My wife and I have been going here for 10 years, the food here is always fantastic as well as the atmosphere. I used to order all over the menu, now I am in a stuck-order mode for a couple years now, I always get the Pablito stuffed with carnitas & bean in the hot green chili. My wife still skips around and enjoys everything she orders. The reason I give a 4 instead of a 5 is due to the service at times. Sometimes the servers take awhile to respond, but the food is worth it. read more

An honest Mexican cafe. Homemade chorizo is excellent, non-traditional but perfectly seasoned. Add savory (but spicy, watch out) Green chile, lightly fried, golden brown potatoes for a perfect weekend breakfast. I tried Rositas on a lark, and I'm so glad I did! My son loved the food here too. (Update) holy moly Rosita's has pitched forward and fallen on its face. Soggy breakfast potatoes, ho-hum chorizo, and flour tortillas that tasted right out of a plastic bag. So disappointed. This is a restaurant best suited for the local regulars, who are too busy chatting with one another to notice the crummy food. read more

To be fair, I am from California, so my standards of Mexican food are pretty high. I keep that into consideration when choosing any Mexican food out of state, but to say this restaurant was a huge disappointment, is an understatement. I ordered off doordash because of this pandemic, so there was nothing I could do to feel any sort of resolve from this, except leave (my first yelp review) to warn everyone else. I ordered the Chile Relleno Dinner and Super Nachos on fries instead of chips. EVERYTHING was bland. The Chile relleno was very fried and only orange "cheese" inside. The best part of it was the green chili. Rice came with it but even that was bland and questionable. Based on the nachos description, they sounded great, but even with beef and jalapeños on them, they still managed to be bland and flavorless. You would have been better off with TacoBell nachos. I paid $30 just to end up having to eat leftovers out of my fridge because this food was so terrible. 100% would not recommend - even to my worst enemy. read more

Went on a whim, being in the neighborhood. I agree with the other reviewer about the Chile Relleno, a fried mess of cheese with very little chile. I prefer a deeper green chile with white cheese. More on white cheese. We ordered the queso dip, which turned out to be most likely Velveeta topped witth canned chiles and tomatoes. Yuck. As a past server, I would always ask guests about a dish that remained untouched on the table, but this did not happen. Other than that, the service was great. Don't order the margarita unless you want it virgin because there was no tequila in it. I will stop here, because I am starting to sound like a negative nancy. It has been a struggle to find a great Mexican place in Denver. I will stick to Tacos y Salsas on South Federal. The food wasn't awful, but the experience was worth more like $10 than the $50 we paid, so, 1 star for filling my belly and 1 star for a really nice server. read more

My wife and I had lunch at Rosita's yesterday. We were pleased with out entrees and dessert. I would describe the service as casual, which was fine since we weren't in a hurry. I would probably rated as a 3.5, but that's not an option. We've really struggled finding a decent mexican restaurant in the north area. We will likely return to Rosita's and try again. read more

This place wasn't all good. The food was gross but the servers there were very nice and very good. I'd visit there again because the food is fast but I wouldn't come back for the quality. read more

This was by far the worst mexican restaurant I have ever been to. For being in Denver (especially on Federal Street), you'd think there wouldn't be too many bad mexican places around. But, I'm positive this is the worst around. Cardboard and canned tomato sauce is how I would describe the chips and salsa. When the quesadilla came out, I thought surely this was a mistake. I mean, what restaurant serves a quesadilla as an open faced tortilla with some cheese on top? It was literally a tortilla from a bag that someone slapped some shredded cheese on and stuck in a microwave for 15 seconds. Lit...er...ally... Plus, the chimichanga was just a plate of depressing & tasteless worthlessness topped with iceberg lettuce and a side of sour cream. Overall, I'd rather have a mexican meal by going to the gas station and buying Takis then going back to this place. read more
