    Mole'

    Their chicken mole' was superb. Highly recommend. Ut is often difficult to find a good mole' but this had nice robust flavor and just hint of sweetness under neath the main flavor. Their salsa was excellent as well.

    I like the food, but it can be too noisy

    This is a popular place with good food. The restaurant is famous for its roasted salsa, fish tacos, street vendor tacos (tacos callejeros), enchiladas, flan, and my personal favorite shrimp nachos. To me, the downside is that it can get too noisy to have a...More

    Happy Place, Average Food

    We always enjoy Rosario’s, the service is prompt and dependable. Menu choices are excellent and we don’t even have a favorite. We order something different every time and have never been disappointed. We do prefer the chicken fajitas and their green chicken enchiladas.
