It was a request from a friend for her BD lunch. I had no idea it was the old La Estrella building with new ownership and total beautiful revamp. Food was amazing. The only thing I would have preferred whole pinto or refried beans instead of a puree. Food was reasonably priced. It was the bottle of mimosas that added up. I will definitely be back!!! Flavors were incredible!

They don't respect the waiting list, they make you wait for two hours and they always move on to Asian people, American people first. They are rasitas.

The place is esthetically pleasing with a friendly atmosphere, however the food was not good. We ordered molcajete with carne asada and green enchiladas. We had to drive 3 hours to get there and left very disappointed. In my opinion the drive is not worth it and will not be going back!

Great ambiance, great employees and great food. Will definitely go back.
Don't let the strip mall fool ya. Rosa Madera is a visual experience and as soon as you walk into the restaurant you are surrounded by a lively and festive space filled with art and atmosphere.
The food was amazing. The best enchilada verdes I have had in Sacramento. The sauce packed heat, was bright nuanced, and the plating was as much of a feast as the flavor.
My cocktail was a little on the sweet side but that is a me thing. That said, it was well made, festive, and I would have had more.
But there are clear issues that if not fixed, I will be surprised if this restaurant which is only 7 months into it survives.
We went on a Tuesday, and it was hopping. The wait was 45 minutes long so we took a bar table. Sometimes restaurants are busier than they expect. But the issue was not that they were busy beyond expectation and not staffed for it.
Here is the issue. We sat down and it took us 45 minutes to get a basket of chips. Tables that were seated 30 minutes after we arrived had their chips, drinks, and appetizers before we had our chips or our order was taken. We had to get up and go get someone no fewer than three times to resolve this. The gross disregard of order is a huge no no. To some degree, this can happen, but it was obscene how others were being served and our section was grossly ignored.
They finally brought me my cocktail after I had already finished eating.
There are so many glaring timing issues that long term, customers will not bother with service that fails to meet even the most basic level of decency.
On their website, they say the have vegetarian specialties. Two of the guests were veggie. When asked, they had no idea what they were-- we asked three of the different servers we had. When asked if the beans had lard, which we asked four different servers, no one had a clue.
We were regularly and constantly ignored while others around us were not, despite mentioning it to the host, manager, and three servers.
The food was great. I look forward to going back and changing some of my ratings and my review. But the food does not make up for a gross inability to manage a restaurant at the most basic level.
Vegetarian options: Their website says they have special vegetarian dishes but the staff was clueless as to what they were and four different people couldn't even tell me if the beans had lard.

Amazing atmosphere and food. Service was top-notch. Minus the 2 hour wait, we will be back.
We went as a group of 8 and not a beat was missed. When the food, service and atmosphere are spot on, the wait is no issue.
The food was horrible 😫 😩
