La Rosa Santa Rosa Reviews
An attractive, reasonably priced, and competent upscale family Mexican restaurant. The interior and ambience are especially good, although it can get a bit loud. Try the expansive patio in good weather.
Great happy hour at La Rosa tonight! Our server Sebastion was absolutely fabulous, food was great with lots of choices, and very reasonably priced. We been to La Rosa for lunch and dinner and always enjoyed - great to add it to our list a happy hour faves.
The tortilla soup is amazing. I come here from Ukiah just for that! Everything is always fresh and delicious. Sometimes service can be a little slow, but they are always very nice.
Our preschool has a family with a personal connection to La Rosa and they generously allowed us to come for dinner! The food was wonderful and the staff was so patient with so many preschoolers! We were able to joyfully join together in community and support a locally owned restaurant! We can not thank you enough!
I visited early Friday evening, and the place was already packed! Service was a bit slow, but it’s understandable all things considered, especially since I visited solo. Management seemed to be aware though, and he was consistently stepping in with check in’s and running food/drinks, which was appreciated. Regarding the actual dining, I had the Sueno de Maracuya and Shrimp Tacos, and they were both sooooo good. Sometimes it can be surprisingly hard to find decent Cal/Tex-mex, but the shrimp tacos definitely achieved that perfect sweet spot. From the perfectly seasoned shrimp, the perfect mix of fresh and flavorful toppings, to the perfectttt black beans, I definitely had no criticism. I wish I wasn’t trying to portion my meals because trying more of the menu would have been so much fun, but I am still very happy with my limited experience! Would definitely love to come back, especially when they’re not so busy, but it makes sense why they are!
2 years ago my now wife and I had our first date at La Rosa. It’s our favorite place to go for great food and drinks. Last weekend we had our wedding reception in the upstairs lounge and it was beyond what we expected! Emmy did an amazing job coordinating the event. A+ Emmy! The room itself is amazing with beautiful art and atmosphere perfect for a wedding reception. The bartenders were super friendly and happy, the main host/server was an on point professional. What stood out the most to us, was the genuine care and friendliness of all the staff to make the event wonderful. They felt like they were a part of our reception. And to top off this perfect experience, my wife lost her pop socket from her phone. And the next day, one of the downstairs staff members, happily went back upstairs and searched for the item, found it, and absolutely refused to accept a small tip for doing so. I feel like it’s those little things that make the difference and warranted the best review I can muster up. An absolutely perfect place for a reception, event or party! Especially for the price!
Our family loves La Rosa! ♥️ Great margaritas, tortilla chips, and salsa!!! (And oooo that melty cheese!) If you are looking for a sunny patio in the heart of downtown Santa Rosa... it's a hit! The atmosphere is always comforting and we can usually get a large table pretty quickly! When guests come to town, they always have something on the menu to make everyone happy. (My vegetarian and pescatarian friends can enjoy several items as well!)
I had an incredible experience at this restaurant! They had great happy hour which goes every day 4 pm to 6pm. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home. It’s rare to find a place that combines great food with such warm hospitality. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a wonderful atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!
AMAZING experience! Such great food, everything was delicious and you can tell the ingredients used are higher quality than most. Can’t wait to go back, it was a total hit with my fiancé and sister(: We had a few margaritas and cocktails which were yummy too! The chips are thin and crisp, and salsa had the perfect amount of heat.
We enjoyed a nice evening out in the patio for dinner at La Rosa restaurant. The atmosphere was pleasant as well as the food and drinks. And when it came to the desert it was blissful. As you can see from the pictures we thoroughly enjoyed the food. Next time we're down in Santa Rosa we will definitely have to stop here for dinner.
Went on a Friday night. Minimal wait just a few minutes and got a table for 2 inside with a view of the patio. The chairs were super comfortable and I ordered a skinny margarita right away. It was good and strong and I ended up having another one. I order chicken enchiladas and my husband had a few tacos. The salsa was a little spicy but still really good. Loved the corn and refried beans. The restaurant was a little loud so it was hard to hear each other sometimes without talking loudly.
La Rosa taqueria and Grille has long history here in Santa Rosa. I know it as a The Cantina, I grew up here in Santa Rosa so if you ever wanna Mexican cuisine come here that environment beautiful loud you could be yourself and the food delicious. So whenever you are downtown Santa Rosa and you’re in my town come here you will love it. Love life, love food and shut up. #shutupandeat!
The taste of the food is really important to me. I really didn't like my dish but that's because I don't like lomo saltado. That being said, I had lots of different appetizers as well as the fried ice cream and they were all mid. My friend said her dish was also nothing to write home about. So that with how expensive it is, I'll go elsewhere. Our server was awesome though, very nice and hardworking.
