Delicious, authentic food

by Beka1

By far the best Mexican food in all of Seattle. Great service, great bar, fun atmosphere. Everything I've tried on the menu is delicious an I always leave full happy!

• Pros: great food, fun atmosphere, friendly service, big parking lot in back
• Cons: it's a popular place - but worth the wait!

BEST Mexican food around

by sammysue78

I've been going to the Greenlake Rosita's for at least ten years now and I LOVE it. Great drinks, and the enchiladas verde is to DIE for! The black bean soup and chicken/corn/avocado salad are also good. Great free chips/salsa/fresh off the grill tortillas. They have two happy hours too, which is nice. There can be long waits on weekend nights but during the week you can usually get seated right away, especially in the bar.

• Pros: Great food, prompt service. Pretty good value. Good for kids, kids menu available.
• Cons: Waits on weekends, lame dessert menu.

donde esta el sabor?

by theberger

Went there for lunch. The first thing I noticed wasn't decor or friendliness of the staff, it was the REALLY strong cleaning product smell. I think the "chef" forgot to add salt to my lunch because it was tasteless. How can you mess up eggs and chorizo? Maybe Rosita's was outstanding in the past, but it has unfortunately slipped into mediocrity.

Delicious

by sally52

This is one of the better Mexican food restaurants I've found in Seattle. Being from the Southwest, I have pretty high standards but they were satisfied by Rosita's. The service is usually good, parking is decent to find, and the food is consistently good. My only complaints is it's a bit pricey for a Mexican food place. However, they carafes of sangria are delicious and the warm tortillas from the bar make the wait for food even better!

• Pros: Delicious food, free fresh tortillas
• Cons: Can get pricey

Solid Mexican food with no suprises

by fun2beme

Yum- good Mexican food that doesn't go out on a limb with any of their dishes, but delivers solid food for families. This is one of my girlfriends' favorite places to eat out. The warm tortillas are delicious. Service is good and it is reasonably priced.

The Chuck E Cheese of Mexican?

by outtaplaceinfremont

Maybe it was just my typical luck but we ran into anklebiters, and lots of them. Is that typical of this place? My wife says all the time she has been there for dinner it is. It was especially bad on my visit, kids running around everywhere. The funny thing is the "good" kids (and their parents) sat in awe as the little hellions ran amok.

Any how, the food was ok, nothing great, nothing bad but more expensive than I am used to for Mexican grub. We'll return for happy hour, in the BAR.

• Pros: Margarita's, Happy Hour specials
• Cons: Kids, Prices

A reliable favorite

by nb579

We love Rosita's and are frequent repeat customers. It is fairly uncomplicated food, but great margaritas and fresh tortilla bar. Great service, almost too fast because the atmosphere is fun to absorb and then your food is there before you know it. Worth a visit!

• Pros: Tortillas, margaritas, service
• Cons: Enormous portions

Excellent restaurant

by seattledrew

Rosita's is excellent food, and an excellent price. The white meat chicken is fantastic, and service is always good. Food arrives extremely quickly. Occasionally you have to wait for your check, but you'll probably be too full to notice. The Greenlake location (Rosita's) has the atmosphere, the Broadview location (Luisa's) is more subdued and easier to get a table at.

This is fresh, high quality, Americanized Mexcian food that never misses. Perfect for what it is.
