“This place was amazing!! I was hesitant because I wasn’t sure if it was new or not. But once I walked in and got greeted nicely and tried the drinks and food I was so pleased!! I ordered chips and guac to start , you get a lot of guac! Amazing value. The taste was great super fresh and flavorful. I ordered quesabirria order and got 3 of them. So good and so filling!!! They’re very full. I got an horchata and that was 10/10 also! Light and fresh. Everything was great. I wish I didn’t live so far so I could come back!!”
“Excellent restaurant in the neighborhood. Their tacos feel like comfort food. Their prices are fair. Excellent customer service. You feel like you are walking into your kitchen at home when you have the pleasure of checking them out. Great birria. This recent time I got the breakfast burrito with chicken and Mexican coke. Service is prompt and very clean inside. A true gem in Albany Park. 5/5”
“🤩 we loved everything! especially the horchata, decor, & super kind staff”
“Stopped by on a random Saturday, food was excellent and the staff were so friendly. They even left a cute message on my take out box; the tortas and birria tacos 10/10”
“I ordered the gordita with chicken al pastor—it was decent, though the al pastor itself wasn’t particularly memorable or distinctive. What really stood out, though, was the horchata. It was absolutely fantastic—easily one of the best I’ve had. I’d come back just for that. The service was warm and friendly, and I was the only customer when I stopped by during Saturday lunch. They mentioned it’s a new spot, so I hope word spreads and they get more foot traffic soon. Street parking was a breeze, with a spot open right in front of the entrance. I'll order the quesadilla the next time I come with a large hotchata.”
“Across the street from the Kimball & Lawrence Brown Line train station, you'll find the best 👌 Birria Tortas with Consome, a must try! Pour some consume in your torta, add lime, salsas, and dip the torta again if you like😋 While you wait, enjoy the awesome homemade salsas and chips with a refreshing horchata, which doesn't taste like the other restaurants that leave a cheap powder taste in your mouth. If a torta is too much, I suggest the Quesabirria with Consome, so you can dip to your heart's content. ROSITA'S is a family owned restaurant that has us coming back for delicious meals everytime. Say hi to Mama Rosita, Poncho, and Betto when you come in. You will not regret it.”
“Some of the best Mexican food I've had yet! Their quesabirria offerings are soooo good, and the staff offers warm and welcoming service. Can't wait to come back and work my way through more of the menu! 10/10 on every front.”
“The husband ordered a steak burrito, and I ordered a steak gordita. The gordita was more of a flaquita as it was two thin layers of corn masa slapped together to make a sandwich. I'm ise to it being a pocket where the meat and other ingredients sit comfortably while I eat it. It spilled everywhere, making it hard to eat. The red salsa was good. The horchata was super sweet and thick, I had to water it down and ended up not finishing it I'm not sure how it received a 4.8 rating, but I wasn't impressed.”
