El Rosal | Bar & Grill

Had a great time and the burrito supreme is 10 out of 10

Great customer service! Awesome cuisine!!!

Amazing and tasty Mexican food

The food was very good. We had fajitas that my husband and I shared. We are from our of town so could not take leftovers home. One fajita dinner was enough for us to split. I really liked their tortilla chips. I would come here again when in town.

Best Mexican food in Visalia. I love the Tex-Mex healthy bowl.

Very good mexican food, very fair price

I absolutely love the carnitas here. Fantastic flavor at a reasonable price. I never go home hungry. A must eat place if you are hungry for good Mexican food. Credit card use will tack on an additional 3% to your bill now.

Nice atmosphere, great food and great service. A definite return in the future. Pork tamale, chicken burrito and chili relleno for a three item combo as well as a chili relleno burrito in red sauce.

Update: 1/24 The Menudo is delicious, but the pozole tops it! So much flavor yummy 😋

I don't get back to Visalia often any longer but this place is a must for me to eat while in town. Chips and salsa are top notch and the entrees are amazing. Breaded fish tacos!!

Ordered something i never do. It was amazing. Absolutely loved it. Absolutely best strawberry margarita!

Great Food and Service. Drinks 🍸 to.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. I live an hour away, but whenever I am town to visit family, this is where we go! The food is always delicious and fresh. My favorite thing is their chicken tacos. Male sure to ask for cabbage to go with your chips and salsa. I sometimes buy the cabbage and salsa to have at home.

We ordered take-out for about 25 people for my 70th Birthday. Was excellent and packaged perfectly. Was great food for 3 nights, including 2 nights of leftovers. Highly recommend Pablo at El Rosal for eating-in or take-out. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Pablo, your friend, Jeff

My wife and I are repeatedly patrons. It’s a great place to enjoy the food the atmosphere, a game. Highly recommend.

Our go to spot! Great food, great service, great prices. Love coming here!!

Oh my gosh this place is Fire 🔥 and they have a huge list to pick from. I can't wait to go back.

Not overly spicy Mexican food. Fast and friendly service

This is the place I come to eat good menudo or pozole. I always enjoy the food.. I had lunch with my sister and little niece we eat outside to enjoy our food ... the only negative comment I have was the manager.. I think he was the manager not sure .. he took our order and brought it to us .. he was pushy.. waiting while I go through my purse to pay. That was uncomfortable.. not friendly at all .. there was a young man he was friendly and helpful.. I went on a Saturday... I recommend only because of good food .. we should tip the cooks ..

My Dad loved the burrito. As you can see it was huge! Tacos were great. I enjoyed my tostada as well. I added ground beef to it. It was so big I could not eat it all! 😃

The food was really good. Plenty of drink in a single drink. Waitress needs to pay a little more attention to what the customer orders and time when the customer is probably going to leave. I left the money on the table plus a tip without her knowing i left the restaurant while she was talking with another customer for some time

There's a lot of hype about this place, and it's probably well deserved, our Saturday dinner experience was good, but it could have been great. There was one guy running the place and he was very professional and hard working. The rest of the staff was friendly but seemed inexperienced and slow, maybe it's hard to get experienced help? The chips and salsa were fine, warming the chips would have raised it up a notch. My partners enjoyed the carnitas very much, but my Baja Fish tacos were bland even though they were beautiful to look at. The grilled peppers and onions were a nice touch. I'd try it again if I lived there, maybe it was just that night.

Excellent was my 1st time. Actually very good. Recommended!

Such a good place to go for our local family friendly neighbor Mexican restaurant. They forgot one item of our whole order, they were great about taking care of it and getting us a new order. So nice and made sure we were taken care of. Classic good Mexican food. Plus salsa is just right.

Chips and Salsa was just okay. I asked for something a bit more spicier and they were kind enough to give us some Habanero Sauce which was great. Had the Chile Relleno and Tamale combo plate. My wife had the Carnitas Plate with Rice and Beans. Food was good. The Dos Equis and Modelo on tap was nice and cold. Great service and atmosphere.

Gorgeous place with amazing Mexican fare. Loved the fajita. Pablo the chef is amazing!!

The waitress was sweet.. they kept my glass full and the food is good..

Always a good go to! Food is good! Staff is friendly! Would recommend!

Food is really decent, service is fine, lovely ambiance with colorful, Mexican decor. My only complaint is about the margaritas. Taste like they are made with subpar store-bought mix. It's so easy to make a great 'Rita. Lime, orange liquor, tequila Blanco, and maybe a little squeeze of agave. VOILA! Don't even need to squeeze limes fresh, although fresh is better. Bottled lime juice is an okay sub to save time and effort. Please ditch the cheap mix with the corn syrup and artificial flavors and dye, and I'll give even a better review. We like El Rosal, but I love, love, love a great margarita with my Mexican food. If it's a good margarita I'm after, I go elsewhere for that. At El Rosal, I recommend you stay away from their mixed drinks, and order a Modelo or a shot of premium tequila. Their shrimp app is the bomb, though. I sometimes order that by itself as meal. Do try it!

My family and I love eating here. The service could sometimes be better. Also, only 2 tortillas for an order of fajitas, & then you pay for more? Come on! Other Mexican restaurants actually give you as many as you need/want.

came here once for breakfast with hubby kids and my father , breakfast was good but some of the “Mexican” is not authentic or scratch ( lots of canned sauce bases ) service was good and atmosphere is cute . came back again and hubby ordered caldo de pollo and it was like canned broths . it smelled like old people canned chicken soup . no flavor not authentic. i think if you order safe foods like tacos or burrito or the plate called “Chino “ and sit in the bar area . now the beer and drinks in the bar area are so cheap and affordable it would be worth a night out with tacos and drinks but if you are latino you won’t be impressed with the food 😂 definitely have non latino / Mexican customers who know no better of authenticity. cheap drinks , cute atmosphere, decent food . my hubby said we will only be back for drinks 😂

Good food, great atmosphere good service, took a bit to get utensils, appetizers came before utensils, chilled shot was short because it was chilled, probably shouldn't ask for it chilled, wanted chimichanga, but not rice n beans so I ordered al la cart, but omg they should let u know if u do al la cart its half the size. Idk I won't be coming back unless it's a real size chimichanga. So I asked if I would have got the combo plate would it be bigger...got confirmation nope...lol idk...truly nice place.. I heard Mexican music playing in the kitchen as door swung open, I wish they had it playing throughout the place.

Atmosphere was very nice but I was never offered a refill and food was just bland..no flavor and no real Mexican authenticity..the food is just generic, sorry but it’s true..

Staff was nice. Place seemed clean. They offer variety on the menu. Doesn't taste fresh. Pico taste old. The salsa for the chips taste like pace or jar salsa. Chips are cold and not very good. Food lacks flavor and doesn't take very authentic and taste white washed. Beans taste like can.

They used to have some of the best enchiladas. I'm pretty sure they changed the sauce, because it's definitely not as good, plus they had burnt pieces of meat inside. Some of the rice was dry and in clumps. Beans were okay. Everything was just okay, and not worth the price. Service was good at first, but then they stopped coming around. They were busy though, so I won't fault them too much on that part.

Upon entering, we were blinded by an excessively bright light attached to a camera. See photo for details Waiters seen us standing underneath unnecessary bright camera light in foyer and chose to neither seat, greet us or tell us there is a wait or they are closed. Treatment of this sort is why we left. My rating is based upon their service to customers before being seated. My review does not reflect their food or food service, for we chose to leave before we were seated.

Not impressed. The service was terrible, never received refills despite asking, they brought the wrong sodas and food took more than 30 minutes. The food tasted off and was over priced, the sauces were gross. The salsa tastes like it's from a can. Second star is because the restaurant is actually beautiful inside.

3 years ago we stopped coming here cause of the service. This weekend my wife wanted to go back and give it a try, worst mistake we make we waited for over 10 minutes to be seated, 3 employee's walked by, made eye contact and never acknowledge us. When we finally got seated, we waited for 5 minutes and realized that there were 4 tables with guests who all had chips and salsa, but no food, we finally got tired of waiting and left, you should of seen the disappointment on my wife face. We will never return to your establishment. If this is the kind of service you are ok with, then you might as well just shut down.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST SERVICE AND FOOD IN HISTORY!!!!! I never have had anything good come from this place. My order is always wrong, service always has an attitude, and this last time my rice like chewing gum!!!!! I only come here because friends want to meet up here but even then I try to change the meet up spot but it's been 3 years since I came here I hope it's longer than that next time!!!! BEST THING ABOUT THIS PLACE WAS LEAVING!!!!!

This was our 1st time here. My husband got the albodigas soup and it was terrible, he also got a carne asada torta. Was the worst torta ever. It was flavorless and the meat was so thin it might of just been a piece off bread. I got posole and it was ok. The chips and salsa also terrible. Our waiter was also bad. We will not be returning.
