Santa Rosa Authentic Mexican Restaurant

We were sooo hungry!! I ordered through Uber Eats and it was great. The rice and beans weren't really hot and they need some work but the fresh Guacamole was AWESOME! I had the mixed parrilla, ordered two by mistake, I'm so happy that I did. It was delicious! Hubby had the shrimp burrito and a steak burrito. That was also delicious! We were on the road all day and this was just what we needed. I'm sure we'll be eating here again before we leave. Now I need a nap!

Hands-down the worst Mexican restaurant in the area. My burrito was just a tortilla with meat in it. No sour cream, guacamole, lettuce or anything else. The Pablano pepper I ordered was so greasy I couldn't eat it. My husband ordered the fiesta quesadilla and it was a tortilla with meat in it and just a little bit of cheese. It was a joke. It also wasn't helpful that the service was absolutely terrible. Waited forever for a bill. My waitress didn't speak English so we had a hard time even placing an order.

Honestly no complaints here. Chips & salsa were solid. The fajitas quesadilla tasted great & I got the chicken. At a price of $10, it was super good. My bf got the steak fajitas & he really enjoyed it too. Service was cool & food came out quickly.

Sat outside, ordered deluxe nachos, two chimi and kids fingers. Typical flavors. The chimi chicken was a bit dry. Nachos were typical as well. Staff was so very slow. Maybe they were not expecting this many ppl. They seemed to be out of corona, and didn't have liquor license for margs.

Delicious! We had the fajitas. Fresh ingredients, vibrant presentation. Food was hot. Salsa was good too. Friendly service. Very hard working staff. The place was busy, and we received drinks, chips salsa and entrees well within 15 minutes. We'll be back!

We have been here twice in the past few weeks. We have another nearby "usual" Mexican place but we were near Santa Rosa so we thought we would give it a shot. The handmade guacamole is very good - lots of lime in it which we love. Neither time we were there were we in any kind of a hurry but it did take a little while for the food to serve, I am assuming because nothing is mass produced in the kitchen and each item is made as it is ordered. Anyway take away on that is I wouldn't come here if I was in a hurry but if you've got time to relax and hang out and enjoy good guacamole this is your place!

Food was great and the service was friendly. We are always trying new places, this place will be our favorite Mexican restaurant.

Authentic. That's the word that immediately got my attention. The Memphis area is saturated with Tex-Mex and could use a couple more authentic restaurants. However when I got here, I discovered this was a variation of nearly every other average Tex-Mex Mexican American menu. I felt as if I had been lied to. That word got my attention because it means "We're different from all the other average places. This is our edge. This is what makes us better. This sets us apart." It isn't right to deceive customers like that unless you can prove that you are different. They were not. With that said, I like Tex-Mex and usually even prefer it. I even like some of the American taco joints in certain cases. Pancho's and Swanky's in particular. What I did find here at Santa Rosa was they were among the better Tex-Mex restaurants and if they only hadn't had that sign that said "authentic", I'd have awarded them 5 stars. This used to be Area 55. I had a feeling they were struggling. Mexican restaurants seem to do fairly well in this area, so I wish them success. They will have to stay on top of their game to keep up. Service was great. The super chimichangas were great. I liked the guac. The apple enchilada was good, and those apples were definitely fresh, but I kind of suspect it's supposed to contain a pie filling. They have several other desserts as well. The one thing they will have to do better on is that salsa. It definitely wasn't fresh and it was processed too mushy. Anytime salsa comes to your table at 35 degrees, you automatically know it isn't made fresh. Or at least not being served fresh.

Food was terrible. I received the wrong order. Overall the first and last time I will order from here. If I could give zero stars I would.

I ordered on Uber eats 8/17/2023 and received the wrong order. I called the restaurant and advised them of their error and the manager on duty told me that the video showed that they packed my order correctly. I gave him my cell number then sent him a pI tire of what I received and he told me they we cleaning the grill pre closing time and to contact Uber. Never order from a place with poor customer service when you give them an opportunity to make it right. Speaking of Uber, they did refund me on behalf of your F up!
