Absolutely lovely food. Family run business, staff don't hassle you. We were there most of the afternoon chatting and no hassle from staff. Very helpful though when we wanted something

Located in Alviso Rosita's homemade salsa both green and red are second to none. Their chicken and vegetable soup is delicious. They offer plates with one, two or three items i.e. tostadas, enchiladas, burritos served with rice and beans or just the entree like carnitas burrito etc. There is plenty of street parking and outdoor seating

Everything was amazing! And if you sit outside to eat, be sure to say hi to the neighbor's dogs across the street as they stand statue-still, staring longingly down at you while you eat. 😍🐶🌯👀

I have always loved the food and staff here. It is owned and operated by family members. I went by there on June 20, 2025 with the intention of having a late lunch, but even though it advertised being open till 4pm, it was closed at 2pm. I fear it may be closed. That would be a sad day for me.

To say I frequent this establishment is an understatement. I go not only for the fantastic Chile Colorado burrito and very reasonable pricing but for the very personal and homey service. We are treated like family and just like at Grandmas house, she is back there cooking away! I am transported to my Nana's home, god rest her soul, every time I eat here and part of the charm I crave! Do not miss this spot and I encourage you to sit outside on the patio and enjoy some authentic food made by some fantastic people! Thank you Theresa, Grandma, and Crew for making this one of my favorite lunch stops!!!!

Excellent food with very reasonable prices. I've been going to Rosita's deli for many years. It is a very busy place with high-techer's from all around, so don't be alarmed if you go there about 12 pm - 12:30pm and cannot get a table. Get there earlier around 11:30am. Rosita cooks her own food with a special style and nice Mexican music ambiance surrounds the indoor seating. 5 STARS !!

Friendly people what make outstanding fish tacos, shrimp tacos and veggie burritos. The appetizer chips were a bit heavy and too salty, but the rest of the food made up for that. Outdoor patio was quiet and clean. We'll go back.

Rosita's is my favorite restaurant in Alviso. It's a shame it doesn't get more traffic. There's a nice outdoor seating area with a lot of shade and a little sun depending on your preference. The food is incredible. Their chile verde is amazing. Nice spicy green sauce and very tender pork. The carnitas is out of this world too. Fried up crispy with great flavor, it's a preparation I've never had duplicated anywhere else. Prices are very reasonable and service is good too. This place is worth checking out.

We go here all the time. The Enchilada's beat Maria Elana's hands down. The staff knows us, so it's like going home. Go for it. We did and never looked back. No waits either! Nice outdoor dining with the special side area if you want a little privacy.

If you didn't look close, you would probably miss this place. It's essentially a house partially converted into a restricted. Food was very good, and reasonably priced. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Alviso for some reason.

I really enjoyed the corn tortilla chicken enchiladas with salsa verde. Not on the menu, it was a special request and very good. I don't like their chips and salsa served before the main course because they use salty chips and there is some seasoning they use in the salsa that "doesn't belong." I cannot describe it. Is it thyme? Rosemary? Oregano? Basil? I don't know. But the salsa just tastes "off" to me. My friends love the chips and salsa with compliments like "best ever!" But none of them grew up with Mexican food so perhaps that unusual taste is good to them. For me, I prefer more traditional flavors. But I don't want to judge the place on that--it's minor. And the salsa verde they gave me for the enchiladas was entirely different from that served with the chips (and good). Overall, the main course was great and the staff is very friendly. I go there for lunch and it's never crowded. It's always a joy to dine there.

This little hole-in-the-wall restaurant is near my office and a great place to grab a quick burrito at lunch if you’re doing takeout. The staff is friendly. You definitely get the mom-and-pop vibe. My favorite item is the chili Verde burrito. Even though it’s not fancy, they have an abundance of outdoor seating.
