rosario's mexican cafe y cantina

flour tortillas tasted like store bought tortillas, not very professional at all.. took my daughter, who was visiting from rhode island to rosario's, the margaritas were very good, but the flour tortillas didn't taste home made to me at all. too bad, the place is nice and the food is good, they should have a lady making home made tortillas to compliment the food...

chicken enchiladas. i had some rolled corn tortillas stuffed with shredded chicken and topped off with a refried bean sauce and that was topped off with a a little bit of chorizo and then whitemexicancheese sprinkled on top to this. it was declicious. forgot the name of the dish but i came home and made it during the week and it was so good.. their slasa and chips are so delicious and the wait staff is very attentive. great place to go.

not super special, but solidmexicanfood. i got three enchiladas a la carte and the poblano pepper. all were very good with some depth of flavor. the crepes for dessert were the only disappointment - too thick, not much flavor; ate the ice cream and left the rest. next time will try a flan.

overall an acceptable option.

wow!!! the bestmexicanever!! both food and service were excellent. loved it!!

oh man that was good.... hat tip to stay thirsty, he gave the go ahead for this greatmexicanplace a few months ago. great neighborhood place in a historic building south of downtown/riverwalk area. guacamole, salsa and chips to start (de riguer but very tasty), a michelada (beer bloody mary) for a little spice. i had the mollejas a la plancha (veal sweet breads in a stewed tomato sauce) which now tops my list of bestmexicanfoods ever stuffed in my face... absolutely fantastic, crunchy, creamy, dense, delicate, etc., etc. my wife had the fish tacos which were superb. interestingly, my sons kiddie enchiladas were freaking excellent, best enchiladas i've ever tasted. all in all, it's wonderfully located, the service, staff and food are top-notch and they have a heart felt local following that will recommend it to guests, out -of-towners and friends.

being a lover ofmexicanfood and while in town on business, hotel mentioned rosario's as a must do and we were not disappointed.

a short trek from the convention center area of town (fun to scooter over), very open dining room with old time chairs and tables.

the chips and salsa were great starts with blended margaritas alongside. had the shrimp nachos to start things off and they were amazing. entree pola maria was fantastic, as well as the flautes.

service was excellent which complimented the outstanding food and beverages. the salsa was so good the server packed a to-go container with chips for our hotel room.

highly recommend!

wonderful casualmexicanfood. big windows look out onto the colourful neighbourhood. super fast and personal service- i asked our waiter to recommend a not-so-sweet margarita- he brought out a delicious one. highly recommend :)

after seeing all themexicanrestaurants in san antonio i felt that i needed to make sure i chose the right place. rosario's was recommended to us while at a bar so we thought we would check it out. wow, what an amazing meal! the flavours were spot on and food was served quickly despite the restaurant being quite busy. definitely recommend the sizzling plate! yum!

awesome incredible food!. definitely definitely eat here! fresh, tasty, perfect food. i don't even likemexicanfood but came for my husband - and i made him come back! i hate beans - i not only ate all the beans but asked for the recipe! i don't know what the bean pesto dip sauce is - but i think we ate the entire refill bottle on the table also. ps-they sell it!:) i can't recommend this place enough. my favorite by far was the chicken and shrimp fajitas and margarita on the rocks.

bestmexicanfood in san antonio. fajitas are always on point; best michelada i've ever had.

this one needs work. it's a small chain of restaurants opened by a lady whose last name is wong. supposedly famous around these parts. i wanted to like it. the decor was fresh. however, we've had much bettermexican/ tex-mex and drink service was slow. the salsa was interesting and somewhat tasty. i got the chile relleno. ordered the quinoa version, but our waiter either put it in wrong or didn't hear to begin with. i didn't complain. i always think they'll spit in my food or something if i send it back. the chile relleno batter was super greasy. i mostly tasted the grease until i peeled that away. the meat was seasoned well. the appetizer came out 1 minute before the meals. i don't know how this is possible, but the cheese actually tasted a little gritty. like corn starch or gravy that didn't get stirred well. i wouldn't go back myself, but overall i suppose it wasn't that bad. obviously our experience didn't match what others have had. maybe you'll have better luck.

we got horrible service. our waiter took everyone's order that were seated after us before ours. our appetizer came out seconds before the meal and was cold. the food quality was ok at best. i thought san antonio would have bettermexicanfare but this was just mediocre and the service just made it an even worse experience.

great food & atmosphere. rosario's is the restaurant where i take my visiting friends and family. it's a great representation of southernmexicancooking with elevated flavors. the mushroom and spinach enchiladas are my favorite, but everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. the drinks are also great! try any of the margaritas, but be careful because they pack a punch :)

ok for comercialized texmex,not to be confused with the few places that serve authenticmexicanfood. rosarios is ok,mi tierra yuck, try taco haven a couple of blocks away for delicious texmex. go where the locals go holds true here.

absolutely fabulous!. absolutely the bestmexicanfood i've ever had and that is saying a lot considering i lived in el paso for 3 years. we were on vacation, found rosario's on urbanspoon and tried it out. we loved it so much we returned the next night! taking the advice of other reviews we went early and did not have to wait. by the time we left the entire place was packed. the food is outstanding - get the chicken chipotle enchiladas. not on the menu, but recommended by our server, abraham. he is hands down one of the best waiters we've ever had. totally accommodating, friendly, and gave us great recommendations. if you like margaritas, the prickly pear margarita is a must. you might as well just order the big one and save yourself the time of having to order a second. the food came out fast too. i'm bummed our vacation is over because we will miss this place!

freeze, put down the tortilla! i was excited to try rosario's but left disappointed. wait staff were gracious but the food - come on - this is notmexicanfood, but some watered down attempt. greatmexicanfood is hard to achieve and very time consuming. this food felt like a quickie and a smoke.
