Locally owned Tex-Mex restaurant. Festive atmosphere great for one, families or large groups. We do not accept reservations but do allow time specific large group priority seating at lunch.
I went here with friends and was pleasantly surprised! The food was excellent: well-plated, full of flavor, and reasonably priced. The taco salad is a work of art! The staff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant clean and nicely decorated. I will definitely be back again soon. Well done!
I'm used to ordering take-out from Rosie's every month or so but this last recent time I was surprised at the prices and how little food we got for it. Two orders of steak and rice, with a cup of queso and extra chips, ran us $56 dollars before tip. The portions were less than in the restaurant and didn't fill most of the container. I would understand if the price was lower, but charging us for a full price meal (Pollo Loco) , with an upcharge to add steak, and then giving us small portions is pretty hard to defend. Not likely to keep ordering curbside if this is how it's going to go...
Everything was sooo delicious!! The service was great; our waitor was very attentive & helpful. I'd definitely recommend this location!
This is my favorite Mexican Restaurant. Every time we are in Huntsville we have to eat here. Their food is Amazing!! I love the Tres leche!
Had a delightful dinner, service was on point. I ate the guacamole salad, very fresh and had lots of cheese. I drank the mambo taxi and it was nice and tart, not too sweet. I would go back and highly recommend.
We had a nice date night at Rosie's. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and the interior decoration is beautiful and thoughtful. For our meal we had chips, salsa, and queso, a chicken quesadilla, and chicken chalupas. We loved the queso and almost filled up on it alone. Highly recommend spending the $10 for the bowl of queso to share with your table. For our entrees, they were very fresh with high quality veggies and other ingredients. The portions are very generous and will definitely leave you with leftovers. The chalupas could have used a little more flavor, but would be great with drizzled salsa or queso on top. For dessert we ordered fried ice cream, which was absolutely delicious and a huge portion for between 2-4 people, depending on how full you are from your meal! We really appreciated the diligence of our waitress Tori, who has mastered the true art of waitressing. Thank you!
This is the best Mexican food place in the Huntsville-Madison area. I've have now been to Rosie's twice, once on a busy Saturday night and once on a not so busy Monday evening. Each time the chips were fresh with great tasting thick salsa. The server was on the ball and made sure we were taken care of. The time from order to delivery of food was less than 10 minutes. It was delivered hot, real hot, not the microwave hot. I had the Rosie changa, the deep fried burrito with extra rice and beans. The taste was just great all around. The atmosphere was Very Hispanic. The music was playing mariachi style music. I don't give out compliments this big, this place deserves it, it is great!
This is a beautiful restaurant, even if you have to wait it is worth it because of the wonderful Southwestern detailed deco inside and out. The wait staff are plentiful,dressed in uniforms and, also very professional, something you don’t see much anymore. Very impressive from the time you walk in to the time you leave. We were the at lunch time but only had a short wait time to be seated. Prompt service, drinks were refilled before they were even empty. Excellent service for a full restaurant. I wish I could say the food was excellent but it was a bit of a disappointment. Chicken Enchilada (Lunch Menu) the meat was pink and mushy mixed with a jelled soupy mixture. It did have a spicy pepper taste but the texture was very off putting. I love chicken enchiladas but I’ve never seen anything like that even my husband wouldn’t eat it when he saw it. The chips and dip and rice and beans were great but I could not eat the enchilada. One thing I noticed, almost all of the dishes have melted cheese now instead of the white cheese sauce which I love, and will request next time. I know Rosie’s has excellent food but this was not a dish for me.
Never dreamed I d be writing a negative review about Rosies, but my carry out meal was totally unacceptable tonight. On a positive note, my wife s taco and my rice and bean soup were hot and tasty. My shrimp and beef fajita was terrible. I live 5 minutes from Rosies, so time was not the problem. I attempted to eat the vegetables, but they had not seen a fire very long, as they were very tough and at room temperature. The beef and shrimp had been cooked, but were room temperature when I got it. I managed to eat the cold shrimp and beef, but I gave up on the vegetables, as they were just too tough to eat. I ve ordered takeout many times from Rosies, and have eaten inside also, and have always been pleased, but tonight was a total waste of my money for a meal that was cold and tough.
Not 100% authentic but still very tasty
Great food, service and atmosphere.
We will definitely be making many trips north to this restaurant.
Loved the salaa
Best salsa ever
Always great
I wouldnt recommend purely on service alone. Just plain rude. To the women who worked the front host area on 11/22 at 7:15pm, if you dont want to be there, then dont work there. You had a sucky attitude, and you ruin peoples night. Our waitress, Wendy, was good though. Just the front desk girl was so bad it ruined the whole experience. Food wasnt bad, but not great either.
The food and service was awesome.
I live in the southwest so mexican food in alabama is not my first choice. It was ok....
On my first visit, I admit to judging them a bit harshly about the food bring generic tex-y Mexican, but I have come to love going to Rosies because everything is great quality and super *consistent* - their salsa is now my favorite of any of the local places, and their lunch portions are large and come out quickly. I have always found their tortillas delicious, and for that alone its worth going, but theres really so much more. Still one of my favorites years later!
Great food and service. Today was the first day on the job for our server, Sylvania, and she was superb.
Rosie s is a Huntsville staple, can t go wrong!
Friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere but if youre looking for authentic Spanish cuisine, this is not the place. Very americanized restaurant, they only have coke products and tea (no horchata/agua fresca).
Its been my habit to visit the restaurant on the east side of Huntsville any time I visit Huntsville. My travels took me to Madison today and i was pleased to learn of this location. It did not disappoint. Exactly what Ive come to enjoy from Rosies!
We go regularly, my wife has Celiac and they accommodate gluten free real good, and they sell their margarita mix that is the best I think weve had. Dietary restrictions: My wife has Celiac, they are good about accommodations.
Great food and service
Food okay service okay nice atmosphere. Im not sure if it would be a first choice.
Not a fan of the food or menu options. My kids like it, so we go for them.
Food sucks but the staff are nice and the atmosphere/decorations are well put together
Amazing! Super fast and kind friendly
Its always good service and quickly brought out great food.
This is suitable for large groups. We had 10+ in our group. We were able to get seated right away on a Friday just after 4:00pm. Our waiter offered excellent service!
Always our go to.. been a patron forever
Great service an amazing staff
Food delicious, staff amazing, good prices
Gotta try it. Amazing
Always excellent. Lunch for 3:00. I still say theyre fajitas are the best in the world. Their table chips and salsa are also some of the best anywhere. In fact there too good! We always find ourself full before the main course arrives. No regrets. Service speed is average but attitude is always above average.
The food was okay pretty average Mexican food but im certain I wouldn t have enjoyed it as much if it wasn t for our server Janae. She made great recommendations, was very fast with drinks and making sure we had everything we needed. She was incredibly hospitable to us while also managing a busy Friday night crowd. Will definitely be returning if only to sit in her section again!!!
This place has an amazing atmosphere! Feels like a different world when you walk in and the courtyard outside is gorgeous. Our server was excellent (Cant remember her name, but it was a female with dark hair), and she made me feel important as she walked me through the menu with great patience. The Queso blanco is very flavorful. You get a lot of food for a lunch plate. The only thing I would change is that I wanted a little bit more spice and overall seasoning. We will be back to try more of the menu.
My favorite mexican place in huntsville!
First time visit. Everything was good. I would of preferred shredded beef instead of steak on my taco.
I ordered a chalupa chalupa and it came out as a tostada they told me that is correct what I ordered and that is their chalupa waitress service was terrible and we had to wait 38 mins before I asked the hostess to get our waitress just to get a check without them pre busing any plates the waitress just never came back after food actually other person brought food it was $54 meal all four us didn t eat well food was bland in addition to not getting what I ordered
My wife and I just decided to eat at Rosie s after flipping a qtr over Cheesecake Factory. Very very pleased with Rosie s food and atmosphere. Highly recommended by the Aarons.
It is easily the best American style Mexican restaurant I have ever eaten at. Everything is top-notch and full of flavor. I could probably eat here twice a week if we lived closer. We need one near Birmingham!
Love the Salsa here
My wife ordered shredded chicken tacos without tomatoes. She got tacos with little chicken and lots of veggies including TOMATOES.
This place has gone downhill. The queso tastes fake, guacamole tasted old and flavourless and salsa tasted out of a package. Mahi mahi taco was terrible.
Amazing place and tasty food!
Great food.
Had a great birthday party
Wow what a place I love.
Update: All continue the same. Great food with an excellent atmosphere. Our server was pristine! Food : 5/5
Love them every time! Consistent experience, which is saying something. Flour tortillas are unmatched anywhere Ive tried. So delicious!
Food portions are getting smaller and the prices are getting higher... thanks democrats! Service is not as good as it use to be. Biggest complaint, no military discounts.
Food is literally just okay. Nothing special or even well seasoned, just decent. Drinks were good. The service was cool, can t complain. I probably wouldn t come back but maybe once more to try something else but I wouldn t expect much.
Love this place!!
Four of us were in Huntsville for a couple of days to attend a graduation. Rosies Mexican Cantina came recommended. So we decided to dine there on 8/1/24 and glad we did. Miguel was our waiter and he was great! The food was equally great! The place was packed for a Thursday evening. That tells you something. Five stars all the way!!!
Rosies Nachos Supreme chicken and steak is outstanding!! Always fast out of the kitchen
Food is okay, certainly nothing to rave about, just your standard fare you can get at any mexican restaurant. Salsa tastes like it came from a can though, which was the biggest negative about the place. Overall not a bad experience, but not good enough to return anytime soon.
Nice restaurant. Has a chain feel. Being from Texas, found the flavors to be a little bland. The jalapeno mac & cheese bites were a fun concept, & the jalapeno margarita was one of the best Ive had. We also had sour cream chicken enchiladas. The rice was hard. Charro beans were bland. Chips were good. We did have really good service.
Best Mexican food in Huntsville...period!
Awesome food and service
Friendly service... Food was good... The chips were great... Drinks were filled straight away without any questions...
The service was amazing, the atmosphere was good but a little disorganize. And the food was as not what you would find in a Mexican Cantina.
Great food and fast service!
Rosies isnt your typical Mexican food joint. They serve all the usual dishes, but they throw their own level of authenticity in each plate. If youre craving Mexican food, highly recommend Rosies
This place was new to my wife and I. I enjoyed it. My wife, not so much, the food was great for me, the drinks and dip was good. I would go back.
The back part of the restaurant is too cold. Vegetarian options: You can make a lot here veg, vegan tougher but doable. Kid-friendliness: Lots of options for kids and baloons
The steak fajitas, Rosiechanga and pollo Santa Fe are all great. Make sure to try the tortillas with whatever you get! Kid-friendliness: Lunch specials and family friendly Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible
Amazing food, great chips & salsa, fabulous service, fun atmosphere!
Best Mexican food!
Very tasty and nice atmosphere.
B (Bailey) did an outstanding job servicing my wife and I.
The food and service were great. Love the fajitas and Mexican Lasagna.
Average food, but consistent in their execution. Friendly service. Good atmosphere. Easy to have a conversation.
Lively Huntsville tradition!
Good food, eat here alot, would recommend!
Let me say the atmosphere is spot on and we loved the decor. The queso was delish. Having said that, I had the chicken enchiladas, and the chicken literally looked, tasted and smelled like canned chicken. The ground beef taco was so bland. They were nice enough to comp the Ckn enchiladas
Me and my friends went to go eat here for the first time, and we were so excited to eat after going to a art museum cause we were so hungry. We walk in expecting a great experience . We were wrong. The server was so disrespectful I was asking questions about the deluxe Nachos cause that is what I wanted and she says have u never been here before with attitude .. and proceeds to tell me that if I want the guac on the side then I have to put everything else on the side and that didn t even make sense. Mind you she was super nice to the man behind us. I don t know if it is because we are teenage girls but it doesn t even make a difference. This just ruined our day. No one at my tables liked their food. And when we asked to take the cheese dip back she didn t even want to deal with it and made the manager do her job. And the cheese dip was DISGUSTING.
The Salmon with the Raspberry sauce is excellent!
My favorite, great food and service. Atmosphere is fun and really good ribs for a Mexican place but only Thursday thru Saturday
Love Rosie s!!
Rosies is considered the best Mexican restaurant in the Huntsville area.
The service was good and the vibes were nice. It was the worst Mexican food I have ever had in my life. Maybe it s because I grew up around people who knew how to season. The shrimp was inedible.
my favorite place on the planet
Chips were mostly tiny chip dust, cheese dip was cold,
My entrée was good. The appetizers were great! The macaroni jalapeño bits fire! Very tasty
My favorite Mexican restaurant ever anywhere!
Vegetarian options: Beans and Rice with an enree were delicious. Food
This place is barely a step above Taco Bell. Everything is frozen and white people bland. I guess thats why all the hillbillies love it. This place is bad, has always been bad, and will most likely continue to be bad. With the amount of decent Mexican food in this town, people should feel ashamed for patronizing this establishment.
Visit here every year and its always great!!
Huge place. Good food
What a treat! My friend and I were seated almost immediately. The staff seemed genuinely happy to see and seat is. I enjoyed some smoking hot chicken fajitas. My order was right. And it was served by our waiter with a smile, he checked on us just enough not to annoy us . We needed some extra napkins and then soppapillas to take home and they were brought out right on time . Our dining experience happened on a Saturday. My friend and I were already planning our next trip to Rosies.
This place is solid. Dietary restrictions: The veggie fajitas are great. Definitely not vegan, but not meat. Parking: There is another lot in the back. Kid-friendliness: My 21 month old kid had a great time.
Very tasty.
This restaurant has a beautiful building and a good atmosphere. But the food is bland and not at all authentic. We ordered 4 different plates, and none of them were great. The food is bland, and so are the sauces. Service is slow, but the waiting staff is very nice and attentive.
The food and service are always excellent! I have ordered the chicken enchiladas for almost 30 years, still great! Consistently serving great food since 1995, well done!
I went to Rosies to pick up a copy of the Tidbits of Athens & Limestone Co paper. The food was good. The service was good.
Caleb was CV our service! Spectacular young man, very attentive. Food delicious and plentiful
Excellent food and atmosphere. Great place to visit.
Fajita beef and Mexican garlic butter! Also like their tortillas chips, lasagna and chipotle sauce.
Excellent customer service friendly smiles from staff and the food is served HOT! Great chips and salsa and the Mambo taxi drink is really good! Food is pretty decent and the queso is good!
Good food and drinks.
Quality ingredients.. results in some of the best Mexican Food I have ever eaten... Staff is wonderful.. I personally recommend Rosies .. you want be disappointed. Parking: Due to popularity parking can be challenging... But with a little patience spots open up frequently..
Not worth the hype. Food was ok at best
Probably my all-time favorite restaurant. Always good food, consistent good service and not long waits. Great Tex-Mex.
THE best Mexican restaurant. Consistently great food and service. Not too expensive for the quality of food they serve. Especially love the steak fajitas.
Great food! Great service! Food
Great place for a wonderful lunch! Were visiting family in town and they said we had to try it. I got chicken and beef fajitas and it was great. You will not be disappointed!!
One of my favorite restaurants. Very good food and service. Always clean and nice place.
This place never disappoints. Food, service, and price were excellent. There is a waitlist during busy hours since they are so good. Won t go to any other Mexican restaurant in town!
Fun place great food, very quick service!
At least the queso was good. Otherwise, definitely the Nickelback of Mexican dining in the Huntsville area. It makes all the noises and looks like a Mexican restaurant, but lacks the authenticity and spice that make it palatable.
The atmosphere and service were great but the food was not great. Im not sure if they switched their floor tortilla recipe but these didnt taste amazing like normal and fell apart from the very first bite. The rice also didnt have its normal flavor. Again, not sure if they are trying new recipes but for sure food has seemed to drop drastically in the last year or so. Waitress was great though!
Do yourself a favor and get the shrimp fajitas.
Best cheese dip Ive had in a restaurant.
Everytime I go to Rosie s I have such a pleasurable experience; however, last night I was served by Zeke and it topped every other experience by far. He is such a great waiter attentive, personable, and overall made the dinner much more enjoyable. Please recognize how much of an asset he is to the Rosie s team!
Stopped in for lunch, great food and service.
I love the chicken enchiladas and the tamales
We love Rosie s! Definitely some of the best food around. Their strawberry margaritas are also incredible, so make sure to try one! OH and by far HANDS DOWN the best sopapillas I have ever had. They are always fresh and super light. They re even just as good warmed up the next day
Rosie s is my favorite restaurant ever. I would sell my car for the chicken enchilada recipe. and the queso!!! all the food is 10/10. I crave their food more than i ve ever craved food in my life. Every time I get to pick a restaurant people know i m gonna say Rosie s.
We love their taco salad!
Tough to beat...Rosies and Phils are the Best Mexixan food in town. Love the Fajitas with a double portion of the finishing butter
Someone give Janae a raise she was amazing we will be back!
The staff was really nice. The food was very bland. I can honestly say there was almost no seasoning in the chimichanga. Not only did I order one but my brother did also and neither one was very good. The kids seem to like their french fries and chicken. None of the Mexican food was very good though.
Great place.
Love Rosies, their service is always great. The salsa at this one is a little sweeter than the others but still okay. Lunch quesadilla is plenty of food and comes out fairly quickly. The tortilla was crisp and had a great, almost buttery flavor. Food
Great food every time.
I understand Mexican foods is usually spicy, but every other Mexican restaurant Ive been to has at least a few Mexican dishes that dont have spicy peppers. Apparently this one does not, unless you want a steak or chicken sandwich. Our waitress said that all of their prepared meats for all of their dishes come premade with spicy peppers. My husband said the chips and salsa they brought was also spicy, which is unusual even in his opinion. Had high hopes for this place, as it looks adorable and the people are very friendly. Can not recommend as someone who cant tolerate capsaicin.
We love, Rosie s It is a family favorite. Food is not as good as it once was. But still a great place!
Rosies both locations in Huntsville are superb. Rosies is my only choice for Mexican in Huntsville. The Chile Rellenos and a Negra Modelo is my favorite meal.
Ive been here three times now & this is hands down the best Mexican restaurant Ive ever visited. The chips and salsa have been fresh every visit. The Pollo Santa Fe is delicious moist chicken under a blanket of cheese! The beef in the fajitas and the Mexican garlic butter are cravable. Huge portions, great atmosphere, friendly service, and the restrooms appear clean. Its an hours drive there but totally worth it.
Average food and service, but nice atmosphere.
Always our favorite for Tex Mex in HSV. The tacos and the beef fajitas are our usual favorites, but to be real, its all good.
This place was really close to my hotel, the food was decent, and the drinks were good. Convenient location and good atmosphere.
Great food. Service here is almost always good. The beef used in the tacos is a 2.5 out of 5. Its not very flavorful by itself. So if youre looking for that burst of flavor when you bite into that warm tortilla, its not here. The Rosiechanga is very good though, and so are their drinks. They also have great desserts, so try one of you have the room.
Food was good. Presentation was okay. Tasted good. It was a lunch menu. Plenty of parking.
Rarely go to Rosie s but every time I go the food is so good and the service is amazing!
It was good
I had the fajita salad with steak and chicken it was excellent!!!
Rosie s is always a go to. Showed up and couldn t find parking. (Wasn t aware but THERE IS ADDITIONAL PARKING in the rear next to the hotel.) The place was packed and we (party of 7) still got seated in under 10 minutes on a busy Saturday night! Parking: Additional parking in rear
Always a great meal at Rosies.....
I used to love this place, but the service and quality has gone downhill in the last year. We have gone to the restaurant and order online and the experience has been terrible. Today, we ordered online, and half of the order was missing, we live 45 minutes away, and their solution was for us to go back!!!!!!! Im never coming back; I gave you plenty of opportunities!!!! Im done with Rosies. Take your money to another establishment.
Always great service and food.
I have never seen such mess in my life with the service here the wait is crazy and the way they sit people is even worse. They telling people 20 minute waits and that turns into an hour because of how they choose to sit people. This will be the last time I grace this place.
