rosario's mexican cafe y cantina

food was goodservicewas ok yes it is very noisy. atmosphere is neati will still go back

wow!!! the best mexican ever!! both food andservicewere excellent. loved it!!

this is a good spot to enjoy some real tex mex food. theservicewas fast and friendly and the food was very good. different than the run of the mill tex mex as you could taste the difference.

we dined here on a monday evening around 7 and had to wait for about 15 minutes for a table but just enough time to enjoy a beer at the bar so no hardship.

overall it was a very nice experience!

* great food * poorservice* do you feel lucky ??????????serviceis one thing i look for when spending my money. you wont find anything close to acceptableservicehere try elseware

goodservice, food is amazing ...the menu is totally different ..maxician cafe catina is placed on very peaceful location ..i love it

delicious food! had the fish tacos. the margaritas are great and i recommend the ceviche!! the music on fridays is awesome. greatservicefrom orlando:)

theservicewas good. their home made roasted salsa and tortillas are worth a visit. i ordered their pollo maria made with a pumpkin seed and cilantro pesto that was delicious. my hubby got their puffy tacos and we were a bit disappointed. the taco got soggy way too fast. their beans we the best part of his plate.

not worth the effort..servicewas mediocre. the waiter (jesus) was not quick with drinks or refills.

the food didn't taste worth the price and i was still very hungry afterwards. the drinks were delicious but entirely too expensive. i would recommend this to anyone.

long wait but well worth it. this place is fantastic. on a friday night, the wait for a table for 2 was about an hour, but i'd never been to rosario's before and i was willing to wait it out given all the high praise the place gets. in the meantime, i walked over to the tower of americas and back and arrived back at the restaurant just in time to claim my table. i ordered the pollo a la maria and i've never had anything like it. marinated and cooked to perfection and had sort of an indian flavor to it. we also ordered ceviche, chorizo quesadilla, and albondigas (meatballs) for appetizers. i didn't care much for the albondigas but the ceviche and quesadilla were really good. my meal was supposed to come with tortillas and the waiter did indeed bring out a container for them, but it was empty. it was pretty funny actually, so we laughed it off and didn't bring it up with the waiter. we weren't hungry enough to eat more than one anyway. otherwise theservicewas great and the atmosphere was very nice. maybe a touch too loud. there was a live band playing but they weren't cranked up to 11 at least. i highly recommend rosario's if your evening isn't on a tight schedule.

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 better mexican / tex-mex and drinkservicewas 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 better mexican fare but this was just mediocre and theservicejust made it an even worse experience.

love the salsa! fresh! music was great! food was wonderful!servicewas great, just be prepared to wait. sit down have a drink in the bar area. about 10 min walk from river walk but worth it. from river walk follow st mary's till intersection of s. alamo.

mexican food at its best. also you have to try the chocolate flan with vanilla ice cream and small pieces of almonds. too die for

off the river walk. was our first time to this restaurant and it had amazing food andservicewas fast and the waitress was very attentive. i would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves true tex mex. if your staying at any of the hotels near the river walk, it's not far at all bout a half mile and its worth the walk.

best meal of our visit.......... a buddy of mine and me went to check this place out from a recommendation:
we were not disappointed. great chips and salsa to start out;
we both had the ceviche-good portion of fish and the mixture of lime juice, cilantro, and red sliced onions were perfect. i would like to see some jalapenos in there for just a little added heat.
had the lengua and it was so tender and flavorful-by far the best i have had.
a cold dos equis to wash it all down.....perfect lunch.
if possible-sit at the bar, if avail, for fasterserviceinstead of a table if you are on a time crunch like we were. it all worked out.

more authentic mexican food. my family and i were visiting san antonio and were recommended rosario's. the parking lot is very small and there is very limited parking on the street. theservicewas great. the hot sauce was very different and none of our group liked it. the spinach and mushroom enchiladas were the best thing we had. they were great!! the seafood rellano was fair. the regular relleno was pretty good, but it had raisins in it. (my mom loved it, but i'm not a fan of raisins in my food.) my husband ordered some chicken enchiladas and the sauce was very sweet. if you like unique mexican food this might be your choice, but if you don't then you might want to choose a different restaurant.
