The dust had barely settled from another Revolution in the late 1800s when Maria Jesus Calles-Moreno found herself whisked away from her home in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, and bundled onto a mule to make the long journey to the mountains of Cananea. The struggle for survival began. Her mother, Aquiles, provided for the family by preparing meals for travelers and workers who had no time to cook for themselves.
For some reason I have been craving tamales and most Mexican restaurants in the Valley dont make tamales. Luckily there is Rosita's the food is authentic, the selection of food is fantastic and everything is to die for. If you are going there for the first time I highly suggest getting the sample platter. It will help you gauge what your favorite dish is for the next time you come.
We asked the folks at the Sheraton where the best Mexican food was and we are so happy to have found this gem. Hands down the best Mexican food we have ever had. We had a party of 5 and everyone was so happy with their meal! Thank you!
My favorite Mexican restaurant. The food is always consistently good, the salsa made fresh every day, and it has a nice degree of bite to it. Truly more traditional Mexican cuisine than Americanized or foo-foo fine dining. Real tasty food for regular folks. Parking at lunch or dinner can be a bit of an issue, but to me that is a sign of popularity, and worth a little walk.
I love this place. Best chips and salsa. Food always seems fresh and tastes great. The staff has always been curious. I have been a customer for many years and rarely if ever have I encountered any issue.
Rosita's is a tradition for our family. The food is always tasty and fresh. The employees are friendly and hardworking. They even have a Vegetarian Menu! If you haven't been here, you should try it. Just good old fashioned homemade Mexican food.
