Rosa Cantina

We've been here twice for lunch. A party of four and each of us enjoyed our entrees, chips and salsas were fresh and delicious, guacamole was outstanding and we shared yummy churros for dessert.Service was excellent!The restaurant was clean and well-maintained. The ambiance was festive and upbeat!An all-round 5 star experience!

Rosa Cantina was such a fun find for a late night dinner with friends. My SO and I were visiting friends in Longmont to take a class north of town. We got done around 8PM and needed to find a place to eat that offered dinner past 9PM. Our friends suggested that they take us to Rosa Cantina. I am so glad they did!We were able to be seated right away, which was great. I love that they offer a lot of refrescos options like Horchata and Jamaica. I ordered a Jamaica instead of an alcoholic beverage since I was driving back to North Denver after dinner. My friend ordered an alcoholic beverage that included a paleta. That was probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen! I love seeing creative cocktails. It's absolutely a conversation starter.Now, as far as the menu, there were so many options. I ordered the Pork Belly plate since it sounded the most interesting. I was so curious about the corn tamal that came on the side. I was pleased when my plate came out loaded up with crispy pork belly and a corn tamal, which resembled something like corn bread. The plate had plenty of sauce for the meat and tamal, which was so appreciated.Overall, I would go back to check this place out. We did have a slight issue with our order since part of our order didn't make it to the kitchen, so I'd like to come back and try things like the guac before my meal too!

Stopped by and grabbed a late lunch at this highly rated restaurant, according to Yelp. Opted for patio seating, on a lovely, but hot weekday a few weeks ago. The patio seating has the most uncomfortable chairs that I have ever experienced with the metal rim cutting into my thighs and the concave webbing inducing sciatica pain due to the angle of the seat where my hips were so low relative to my knees. Bad seating and/or wet seating from a wipe down from a cleaning rag without drying it are some pet peeves of mine with dining out. lol.Food was okay, but nothing that I would want to repeat again since it is a drive from Boulder and there are lots of tasty options closer to us than this place. The rellenos were not the kind that I am used to and I wouldn't get them again. Mexican food is like any other ethnic food where individual backgrounds and expectations determine the satisfaction with the cuisine. It is fortunate that everyone likes different regional flavors and presentations or there would unbearable waits to eat at every restaurant. Back in the day I enjoyed dining at La Cocina and Blue Parrot and to this day still crave those less expensive, perhaps less authentic renditions of ethnic foods that were delicious memories, whether or not they would pass muster on the authenticity scale of today.

The food was absolutely delicious! They have a new modern taste on everything in the menu. The service was great, very attentive and friendly.

A much needed lunch stop after driving back to Boulder from Fort Collins.Parking was kinda crazy, but we were able to get a space eventually. Decided to sit outside and had the nicest hostess and waitress. Next time I'd try sitting inside since we encountered a wasp during our visit, but other than that, the outdoor seating area was really nice and peaceful. Ended up ordering the guacamole appetizer that's served with chicharrones--absolute game changer--and the relleno dish. Everything was so delicious! I'm so glad we split an entree, because I was quite full after the appetizer haha. Highly recommend! I'll definitely be returning in the near future.

I really like this place, too bad I live in Denver so it's kinda far but I'll definitely come back if I'm in the area. The decor reminds me of classic Spain decor. Our waiter was very friendly and super attentive. I was able to make reservations over the phone for dinner and our table was ready right when we got there. We ordered the ahi tuna tacos for appetizers and they were so delicious. The tuna with the taco and dressing mix was soooo good. We ordered the mango Rita cocktail and that was very well crafted and also delicious. Our main dishes were also very tasty. We got the mole Esperanza and molcajete. Very well plated and delicious. Such a good meal!

Very good tacos. Drinks were a little sweet, but I asked for it without the agave, and it was much better. Our server was great, and so was the food. Very cute place and outdoor seating as well.

Best Mexican food in Longmont. Fresh flavorful ingredients and excellent cocktails. Highly recommended.

Service is always prompt considering each meal is made order. The the food is absolutely impeccable. By far the best Mexican restaurant to ever enter Longmont Colorado when we found this place it was still very new and kind of a hole in the wall. But it has come a long way and it's generally always busy and they don't take reservations so be prepared to wait 20 minutes or so but I promise you it is worth it. I would wait an hour to eat there. What was your favorite dish there? We can't even pick which was our favorite dish because we've never been disappointed and we always leave our plate as clean as it was before they put food on it. Also there selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes is amazing for Longmont. My personal favorite is the fried cauliflower dish which comes with battered and fried spinach as well as rice and beans and some a few extras that they make in the house. We also never leave the restaurant without ordering chips and guacamole with pork belly or a sweet corn tamale made with real masa. I was hesitant to do a review, because it's blown up so fast but now that it has already blown up, I'm going to give a review. I recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone who has a chance to go especially people from surrounding city when they want an amazing meal. They also make all of their drinks in House and have a huge variety of tequila and Mezcal.

Best ceviche in town! Go for happy hour and try the guacamole. Wonderful margaritas!!
