Food and service were fine. The restaurant was very loud so it was difficult to talk. The margaritas, especially the coconut one, were very sweet.

I could not understand the waiter and he could not understand us. The communication was terrible. Overpriced meals for this type of restaurant.

Mediocre. Gave my parents a gift card with only $13 left on it. They ate here and said the food and service was ok. Then, they went to pay with the gift card and the server came back and told them they have to use it at the location where it was purchased. Well, who knows where that is. The manager should have come to the table and spoke with them directly. This could have been handled in a much more friendly manner. The manager could have just taken the card and knocked off $10. Not impressed all around.

Incompetent staff. Setup a birthday reservation for 12 over the phone. All was good. Showed up and apparently it wasn’t written down? Spoke to the manager, Oscar, and he blamed me. He said I should have written down the name of the person I spoke to? Lmao seems disorganized. Poor service isn’t worth the price of their mediocre food.

We stopped here for lunch on a Saturday and really enjoyed the different flavors.The sangria was amazing, the chips and salsa were deliciously spiced and the carnitas were to die for, My husband got the salmon burrito (never heard of such a thing) and it was incredible!The service on the patio was great, and the atmosphere was really fun, even on a rainy afternoon. We really liked our server and had a lovely time.

Good food, not authentic Mexican food, but still good food. They are able to accommodate big groups, which is nice.

This was a mediocre to poor experience that will never be repeated.Service = 2 starsCame in at 4:30; 2 people on patio and I and another guest inside. Assume only one waiter due to between meal rushes?Had to wait ages to ask for anything?Queso Fundido = 0 starsFor me, I like liquified mix of cheeses to dip tortilla chips; pour over food. This was so filled with stuff, a useless fire presentation and frankly inedible. I took one bite and zero offer to take off bill.Fajitas = 3 starsThey were adequate, needed more onion and didn't even come with side of sour cream. At these prices? They charged me extra for it.White wine - 1 starMinimal/poor selection.Chips/Salsa = 0 starsThey make you pay $7 for what should be complimentary. Sure, there are “two” tiny bowls of avocado/red salsas and a tasteless bowl of bean dip. Not worth it but you expect chips and salsa so it’s almost automatic to order? They are laughing all the way to the bank.They don't deliver at all for what they advertise and charge.Such a disappointment.

Looking for a great Happy Hour? Look no further! Taco Rosa not only has weekday happy hour but also an all-day of 'happy' on Tuesdays! Wonderful, tasty tacos and margaritas every time! Atmosphere is usually great, unless it is just before closing (like most anywhere else). Love this restaurant and the Newport Beach location as well! Hope you will too, if you haven't tried this place yet!

This place serves the best shrimp tacos I have tasted. The shrimp is tasty and tender, the cheese, pickles and sauces all blend well together. The only reason why I did not give this place a perfect score is because the churros were the worst I have ever had. They were piping hot but hard as a rock, dry and tasteless. The cinnamon kind of masked the burnt taste. I don't even think my dog would have eaten it. The chocolate sauce was great and wasn't too sweet, but it couldn't save the churros.
