    Service was really good. The food was nicely presented, but very mediocre in taste. I had the Chile Relleno and it literally tasted like it was surrounded by Cambell’s tomato soup

    We go to Rosa for their guacamole - which is the best! But their appetizers shrimp is also a favorite. Lots of good menu choice if those don't appeal.

    Overall my experience was delightful but it was extremely hot. I do understand the temperature outdoors but inside the air conditioning did not cool the establishment. It’s was uncomfortable. Our waiter was great and my tacos did lack a bit of flavor but still good.
