I've dined at Taco Rosa a few times, and it's always been a good time. The atmosphere is great, and the food and drinks are tasty. Self-described as "Contemporary Mexico City cuisine." Taco Rosa offers some delicious variations of familiar Mexican fare.
My recent orders have been tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. They were all delicious, and the preparation and presentation made them look appetizing. The quesadillas were filled with more than just cheese and protein, which was a nice touch and something different.
Although not complimentary, the crispy chili limon chips came with three dipping sauces—smooth bean, red salsa, and jalapeño salsa. We paid $6 for the chips and salsas, and they provided two sets for our table and refills on chips.
Indoor and outdoor seating is available with a few tvs to watch sports. During the day, you can see the details of Mexican decor and well-built furniture. In the evening, the mood is a little dark but cozy.
The staff was good, and our server was attentive, checked on us regularly, and refilled any needed water and sodas. Our food also came out promptly and hot.
My only concern is the prices, as with most dine-in restaurants of late. Although the food and vibes are good, my budget won't let me dine here often. We reserve visits for special occasions or a dining splurge.
Parking: Plenty of parking, but there is still heavy construction as of 7/21/24.

Terrible! The food was basic at best and the server was a rude, grouchy man. After we waited for our server for almost ten minutes in an uncrowded restaurant, he couldn't careless that we were there to celebrate our daughter's birthday. He just asked how many orders of chips we wanted because they are $6 an order. The next server that walked up asked if we wanted the dessert menu to order her something for her birthday. Rude, over priced, and the food was okay. Not the same Taco Rosa! Waste of time and money!!

Wanting to relax and have a well-prepared lunch we chose Taco Rosa Mexican Cuisine at the Market Place (the shopping center that I call the purple flags) in Irvine CA. Since they had just opened we had the place to ourselves and within a few minutes several groups arrived making it a lovely and happy experience. Our food was delicious and beautifully presented. And around us that same joy and oooh haaa was heard so I guess everyone was pleased with their food selections too..
My Chicken Fajitas were abundant with perfectly sautéed bell peppers , onions and fabulous seasonings, just enough beans, and perfectly cooked ? rice. My husband enjoyed his ‘must have’ Ceviche, stating the quality and quantity were just right. The prices are reasonable so with a beer and tip our lunch was under $65.00 USD
Enjoy ??

Great Mexican restaurant in Irvine, CA. Very very reasonable price and great taste!
Food was ok. Drinks were ok. Price was fairly high. Maybe I'm just grumpy because it was 90 degrees and management decided to be frugal and not run the AC. Even sitting outside with those slow overhead fans barely alleviated much. Soured the experience. So who knows if it was actually good or not. I was way to hot to focus on the experience.

First time visiting Irvine Spectrum and our Birthday Girl wanted Mexican for her Birthday Dinner. Called Taco Rosas spoke with Ruben and he was very welcoming and had openings for walk ins. As we walked in was greeted and welcome by Ruben and staff. Wonder atmosphere, Kid and family friendly, attentive, and food and drinks were excellent!! I highly recommend Taco Rosas if you’re looking for the Best Mexican Restaurant and great ambiance.
