We stopped in to try Rosie’s Kitchen and overall the experience was just okay. The restaurant is more of a quick walk-in and order style place rather than a comfortable sit-down dining environment. The customer service felt a bit distant and not very welcoming. The person taking our order kept a mask on and didn’t really engage, which added to the disconnected feel. I ordered the menudo, and it came without hominy—just tripe in broth. Without hominy, it really isn’t traditional menudo, and the dish felt incomplete. We also tried the tacos, and the flavor was decent, but the portion of meat was very small, which made them underwhelming for the price. Nothing was terrible, but nothing stood out in a positive way either. Based on the quality and overall experience, we won’t be returning.

Unfortunately, I have to give this place one star. I was charged $30 for 3 steak tacos and some chips (before tip). Their tacos are nowhere near good enough to justify that price. Now, they don’t do tacos à la cart, and instead they come with rice and beans. But 3 tacos with rice and beans of this quality still nowhere near a value of $30. The price took me by surprise as I had repeatedly asked for 3 tacos to go without rice and beans. Staff were friendly and quick to help! The price was absolutely ridiculous.

Everything is made with love!! Flavorful and perfectly cooked (not always the case in the suburbs lol). We LOVE Mexican food but we have often been disappointed by Mexican food in this area. But not here! We plan to come back all the time. They also serve beer, wine, & liquor which is perfect for a Friday night meal. Staff is very friendly and efficient! This is a place where you order at the counter instead of having an active server, but the best places usually are… so don’t listen to anyone complaining about that😂
