La Cocina de Rosita

So we went here, as my fiancée is currently on a quest to find the best menudo in the greater San Diego area, and La Cocina de Rosita shot to the front of the pack here. It's a cozy little spot in Grant Hill, and it's just this side of cramped. Still, lots of options and the proprietor is accommodating. The broth is rich and flavorful, and it's got a generous portion of tripas in there. I had the Chilaquiles en Mole, and they were delightful. The Mole was a little more picante than sweet, but it's a variation which didn't step outside of my preference or expectation. What really stands out about this dish is the chips arrive crunchy. Since I'm writing while eating, the chips have softened a bit, and it's still a delight, with some crispy bits. As to my baseline for any Mexican restaurant (frijoles), this little restaurant doesn't disappoint. The beans are creamy, well-seasoned, and could be a meal with just a dish of them and a tortilla or two. In fact, my lady was dipping into my mole and frijoles in between mouthfuls of menudo. If you're looking for the real deal in quality Mexican food, then drive east of the Gaslamp and check out this epic hole in the wall.

I had a delicious chile relleno plate for breakfast on Thursday. The sauce surprised me as it looked pretty basic, but the flavor was fantastic. Home made corn tortillas were delicious as was the cafe de olla. That coffee was SO good I drank it without creamer--a first for me. It is clearly a hole in the wall in a rough part of town, but the food was so good, I want to return and try something else, and some more of that coffee!

Wonderful food. Fantastic service. Authentic Mexican food. You better be hungry!! Price was reasonable. Memorable!

Authentic Mexican food! Delicious options to choose from. I had the pozole. Came in on a Sunday, It was not too busy. They take your order at the counter and serve you at your table. The pozole came with all the fixings and a salsa for added spice. The tortillas are freshly made and they give as many as you can eat. Friendly service and attentive. We are definitely coming back. Also, try the Cafe de Olla!

Be sure to get here early first, to get a parking spot and second, to be able to get a table.This place has all sorts of offerings and range in price from $2-$20 but let me assure you, each and every item not only looks good but tastes good too!The dining area is decorated nicely with authentic Mexican items which includes the Virgin Mary Painting. Be prepared to pay cash otherwise be hit with a credit card fee... Let this be a reminder to you that cash is king! I ordered and in less than five minutes my food was ready. I enjoyed their adobada tacos with all the fixings. Their rolled tacos are yummy too... Just wish they gave me more than one napkin since I had four greasy items lol.I'll be back for sure when in the area.

Absolutely incredible! We had them cater for our son's graduation and everything was delicious and thoughtfully prepared!

I was visiting a friend and we were having trouble getting our day started/making a plan. Probably because we were hungry. Solution: breakfast burrito delivery from La Cocina de Rosaita! They opened early and ordering here was super easy. We got one breakfast burrito with bacon and one with chorizo and we were both SO HAPPY with our delicious burritos. Delivery was super fast (to South Park) and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made :-) Highly recommend you try it too!Ps only for special occasions; breakfast burritos ordered through here are $15, plus all the fees and taxes, this was almost $50 i think with tip!

If your ever in San Diego you need to stop by and try their delicious cafe de olla it's is very delicious. The pozole and menudo were very tasty and fresh. Tortillas handmade. Staff were very welcoming and make you feel very comfortable and the environment is very cozy.

The best food we've had in San Diego! Homemade tortillas, and the rice was so delicious, we grabbed another side. Fish was crispy yet so tender, the bone slipped right out If we hadn't been snacking throughout the day, I would have gotten my own fish lol.

Amazing pozole. Amazing horchata. Love the roasted peppers. Very friendly/family vibes from employees. Nice chill little spot i like to visit.
