Taco Rosa

Where do I begin!? This place was a great experience, 5-stars ALL THE WAY! One of the best places for a nice Sunday brunch meal and experience. I was so pleased with everything.

For starters, the service from Lorenzo our waiter was superb, he was attentive, made great recommendations/suggestions, was clear and conscise, had an overall positive attitude, and was a good conversationalist. I also met one of the owners and their niece, they were both warm hearted and kind people, they welcomed me in with big smiles, and even checked on me multiple times throughout my visit. They also let me know of their other locations/restaurants and even a little but about their history with this restaurant. Very nice people.

The atmosphere was just perfect, exactly what you would expect from a Mexican food restaurant, perfectly decorated, and Spanish music playing in the background. The Mariachis were there, playing live, which also added a more authentic experience to the place, and they played well too! Ample room inside, and outside! Comfortable chairs and sturdy tables.

As far as their food goes, just wow! Great Mexican food, and I have to say this place has the best mole I have ever tried! Their pozole was amazing as well, I can go there and have bowl after bowl of their pozole alone, and I would be happy just with that! But all their other food is too good to pass up. I went there for their Sunday brunch, and their assortment and variety is so vast, I was not let down whatsoever. So much to choose from for all you picky eaters, LOL! They have great tasting foods, tacos, enchiladas, pozole, empanadas, ceviche, chile verde, rice, beans, omelet station, salad, fruit, desserts/sweets and more! The ceviche plates were fresh and tasty! The tres leches cake was delicious! The enchiladas were filling! Everything was good, I was not upset about anything I tried! I tried as much as I could, and I was impressed more and more with every food I tried.

I would like to add, their mimosas are delicious. I'm not a drinker, but when they combine their freshly squeezed orange juice to their great tasting champagne, I enjoyed this drink very much so. I believe that is the trick to the best tasting mimosas, fine champagne, and freshly squeezed orange juice, not the store bought orange juice like most other places, yuck! But not this place, it is freshly squeezed, you can clearly see it and taste it, what a difference! So I would like to say, this will now be my go to for brunch, hands down. And yes, it is an hours drive time away from me but that's ok, it's all worth it for me.

Thank you Lorenzo for being a fine gentlemen!

See you guys soon again!

Good food. Quiet area and always a table available.

Great authentic Mexican food at Fair prices. Tucked away in a residential Newport Beach neighborhood. Don't plan on eating late because you are not in Spain!

Really great food and great service, which was surprising because they seemed very busy.
It also seemed more casual than the Irvine location, but just as friendly and the food was just as great.
