okay so sometimes I like salty and sweet mix together but I wasn't expecting to sweet two sweet salsas to be brought to my table. I thought about asking for some hotter sauce but didn't. I had the chicken chimichanga which had very good flavors, but no heat and spice, which I like. If you don't like spicy or hot... More

Rosa's cooks up some pretty good Mexican food. Portions are large, and the food has a definite sense of authenticity to it. They have an excellent giant burrito that is an awesome value for around $10. The place is located in a strip mall, and the surrounding area isn't the greatest, but it is not a bad place by any...

We live nearby and have been going to Rosa's for a long time. Have great green salsa and delicious food. A great place to go on a regular basis to try all their menu items. It is in a run down strip mall but clean and very nice inside.

Rosa's has been a favorite of our family for many years. I hadn't been there in quite while, so I was delighted to find that the food is still as good as I remembered it. The chips and salsa are made fresh. The Shrimp Veracruz platter is a fabulous, and the combination plates are so large and generous that there... More

This place is a little better than the average. I had some chipotle ribs here that were absolutely delicious, but they don't have them all the time. Their bean dip with a smoky flavor is the best.

Having lived in Mexico City for many years, this resturant is close to the "real thing" both in food and atmosphere. The atmosphere maybe a bit down for most gringos, but it is the real deal. Food very good, service -- well, they try -- prices are good. This place does not cater to the snow bird / tourist crowd,... More

Atmosphere is not good, the Mexican food is. As a long-time gringo resident of Mexico City who also lives in Mesa, I can say that this resturant is about as close to "real" Mexican food as you can find in the Phoenix area.

Had lunch here today. The carne asada tacos were delicious, and the house lemonade was divine. There were only two waiters and they seemed really busy. Well worth the wait though. Don't be fooled by the fact that they are in a strip mall.

You don't go to Rosa's for the atmosphere which while nice enough is still fairly basic. The food however is very good for the price. The salsas that accompany the taco chips served as you sit down are pretty mild however you can order hotter salsas if you wish. The entres were very good and were priced about $10. The... More

This is our favorite place in Mesa for mexican food. It's located in a little older strip mall, but don't let the location fool you. The food is awesome! The service is always great. And be sure to have a Mararita, they are the best!
