My girlfriend snd I always have a great experience here. We just went there last night She had the Birira and I had the fajita molcajete. It was excellent! The service was prompt, we met one of the owners it was another positive experience. We will be back I recommend it!

The food is super delicious, the only problem is the service. The waitress seems bothered by serving the Mexican people. Unfortunately we have been there several times and it makes us feel uncomfortable. It is a deal breaker no matter how good the food is if the costumer service is bad.

Expensive! expensive! expensive!Not much food for your dollar.First Mexican place I've EVER eaten at that doesn't have a single burrito on their menu and I love me some Mexican food.$4 for a tiny basket of chips and salsa.First Mexican restaurant where I've EVER had to pay for chips and salsa.My date ordered a Rum and pineapple, $7 for the Rum and $2 for pineapple juice. Came in maybe a 12-14 oz glass.Servers were very nice and friendly.

Delicious, upscale Mexican food. Loved the margarita, loved everything we ordered. Queso was delicious, as were enchiladas. Priced right.

Really good food and ambiance. The only complaint is that we have to ask for tortillas with the carne asada and shrimp baja so we can't doordash from here, but the food is delicious.

Look, the food tastes great, and I’ll be back, but I can’t let my experience slide. I ordered three tacos. All three tasted delicious until I pulled giant chunks of tendon out of my mouth. Like, half of the meat in my tacos wasn’t edible. They were seasoned amazing, tasted great, and then I had to pull them back out of my mouth. Also, they forgot to put the plantains on our enchiladas, so we had to ask for them to give them to us. (They tasted delicious).We’ll be back and if they do a better job with the meat this will be one of my favorite Mexican restaurants around.

Cuisine is nicer and more authentic than a typical Mexican restaurant. It is correspondingly more expensive. Tasty, well presented, served by attentive wait staff. Kids menu is available, but limited.

Eden is one of the best servers I've ever been around. She is kind and patient, the food is absolutely delicious. My favorite meal is Molcajete and the shrimp tacos! Love this hidden gem.

We’ve been going to Rosa for a few years now - maybe 10 visits total. Until recently, we’ve believed it was the best Mexican food around. After our last visit, we’re convinced it’s heading in the wrong direction. Other reviews have mentioned a bad smell and there is something to that. As for the food - they switched their tortilla chips and now those are dry and right out of the bag. Salsa offerings were changed. Even our entrees weren’t the same - less flavor, just different. Between the time of our last visit in June 2023 and our recent January 2024 visit, something has changed. It’s a bummer. It’s not cheap, which we were ok with back when it was quality. Not sure when we’ll be back. Hoping it was just an off night, but I think that’s just wishful thinking. On a happier note, we did discover Rumba 52 up in Frederick and it’s well worth the drive.

Jesus dude every single dish here is elevated. It is pricey but they could charge more. I think the only thing that's not Michelin quality is the ambience. And to be honest with the quality of food here I don't care. Because it's all photo quality and as good as it looks. Straight

This is the third time we have been here but the first time with our daughter. She is a slightly picky eater and does not enjoy spicy food. The waitress refused to let her order from the children's menu since she was over 12 years old. Ridiculousness!!! It's the same food no matter what age they are. Be sensitive and treat the customer better. We will NEVER EVER return. You lost a customer for life!!!
