“ If you live in Arizona you probably take good comida for granted, but for those of us of the Arizona Diaspora, finding a place like Rosita's is like stumbling onto a back door to heaven. ”
“ If you are around ASUs campus and want that classic Mexican-American restaurant atmosphere I can't think of a better option than Rosita's. Is Rosita's a Michelin star restaurant? Obviously not, but you also aren't paying for that. The service is amazing, everyone is so nice, the salsa taste fresh and they don't skimp out on giving you all the chips you need. I got the beef crunchy tacos and they were very tasty. Rice and beans were great also. Give it a try ”
“ Nice local place without the "cool modern" vibe. Where local families eat. Some of the best Mexican I've had! And the prices are reasonable. I will definitely come back as it's near my kid's apartment! ”

“ I grew up eating at Rosita's in Mesa, and I am so glad that it still has fine Mexican food. This was my first time at this location in Tempe, but it will not be my last. We were warmly greeted by the staff and given tons of time to look over the menu. While we checked out the menu, we munched on their amazing chunky salsa and spicy salsa that was a little less chunky but had tons of flavor. I ordered the pick two items and got the spinach enchilada and beef taco with refried beans, and my mom did the build your burrito bowl with fajita chicken. Everything was amazing! Seasoned and cooked so well. Both dishes were simple and delicious. Neither one did not need anything added! Our waitress frequently checked on us with a smile and got us everything we needed. We truly felt welcomed! Again, I'm so glad that we made the choice to come back to Rosita's after so many years of being away! The quality of their food has not changed and their prices are still really good--just 30 for both our meals and we took food home! I will be back when I am in the area. ”
“ Really good Mexican food and drinks. Whatever you order, you will enjoy it! They have a great daily drink special, especially their 5 marg Wednesday, or rosita's tea Fridays. Lots of frozen drink options as well like pina coladas that are so tasty. The staff are always kind and fun to talk to ”
“ I met a friend at Rosita’s Fine Mexican Food in Tempe for lunch. We live on opposite ends of town, so this is a good place for us to meet in the middle. We were seated quickly and presented with chips and salsa to snack on while our meal was being prepared. I ordered Chicken Enchiladas and a glass of Pepsi. My friend ordered Spinach Enchiladas and a glass of water. The total, including tax and tip was 49.30. The food was prepared quickly and was hot and delicious. The meal was filling and we definitely did not walk away hungry. There’s a good chance that I will try this restaurant again. ”
