Rosa's Café & Tortilla Factory

At the time I am writing this, I have now been there at least four times.
The first time was a to-go order a friend brought me.
It was a beef enchilada of some type and I was not impressed at all.
The meat didn't seem to have any distinct flavor and I was a little put off about trying again. However, I ended up going in and it is a different experience.
I now understand why I had the experience I did the first time.
This is very much a build your own type of place.
There is no oven in the kitchen prep line as many restaurants have where they assemble enchiladas for example, add cheese or sauce, and push through a broiler conveyor.
Rosa's assembles very quickly without the broiler part, so your food is ready frequently before you grab a table.
There is a prep bar in the middle of the restaurant with a broad selection of salsas: roja, verde, picos, etc.
So, a lot of your experience is up to your taste and mood. What got me in the mood to write this and to visit even my third time, is that they were promoting the Chili Verde Dinner, which sounded like it's worth a try.
It is.
First, it's only $10 something and has a puffed tortilla edible bowl and is filled with a very nice beef chunk stew with green chilis.
It comes with rice and beans (very standard), very good and completely edible.
It was very filling as well. The restaurant itself is visually very busy (lots to look at) and really quite pleasant.
The staff is always friendly. I have continued to visit and this is a great choice for a very quick, inexpensive meal.

Went to taco Tuesday on 1/16/24 of course got the soft chicken tacos plate because it was taco Tuesday.
The lettuce they used was old and tasted absolutely horrible! I suffered food poisoning all day Wednesday and today(Thursday).
Now I’m terrified to eat there because I can’t have Mexican food without my lettuce and tomatoes.
They’re reusing old vegetables.
I hope nobody else got sick it’s been a hell of a 48hrs.

First time eating at Rosa's cafe.
My husband and I were passing by and smelled something fantastic.
We looked around and my husband said it must be Rosa's cafe.
We went and I ordered the taco salad with beef and in my opinion it was delicious.
Very flavorful.
I had refried beans in mine which I don't usually care for but theirs were good and I enjoyed them in my salad.
My husband just ordered half a pound of chicken and I tasted and it was good.
Very well seasoned.
So I will be going back to try other dishes from the menu.
