I was nearby at Lee's Hoagie House and decided to stop here also to try a burrito. I ordered the Combo burrito with chicken. This is a pretty good burrito and big enough to fill me up. Service was quick and painless. Good red salsa too. I will be back.

The hard shell taco is not fried. It's like taco bell or del taco. It was disappointing. The meat was good. I had shredded beef. Fries were cheap and you got a whole basket. Got 2 tacos, fries and a drink for $12.98. great price

It was a pleasure to stop at Rosarito for takeout and be greeted with a warm hello. The owner/manager explained the menu to me, including the red and green sauces that are made fresh every day. I decided on a chicken quesadilla with everything and a wet pork burrito with both red and green sauces. I was happy that chips were included in the order. Food was excellent; the burrito was huge and delicious. Definitely a great value. Plenty of parking nearby. Limited seating inside and out. Excited to try the fresh-made menudo.

I went to Rosarito 20 minutes before closing and I could see it was dark but the slim guy was in there mopping I was banging on the door and he ignored me! He came over and blew me off! We closed already! I could see that the food was still there! I gave my sad face he left! The Sweet bigger guy / Chef saw me and came back over...said we were busy and ran out of food! Sorry, I said what you got left? He asked me what I wanted . 2 birria enchiladas plates. Chips and salsa it was hot and great! Bless him and I hugged him for being so Nice!

Thankful gave the money back after the takeout food TOSTADA I looked at halfway home was all drenched and wet. Plus had to check price as was overcharged and told cashier. Also thankful got refunded too with that! The meat in burrito was so chewy & had to spit out here & there..like gum but harder..was it even meat??! Thanks so much!

The food was great, service was friendly and quick, and the seating area was clean, and I would classify it as family friendly (our young kids didn’t feel out of place). We ordered the huevos rancheros and birria, al pastor, and carne asada tacos, and they were all good….if I had to make a recommendation, it would be the asada. Our kids loved the fries too!
