"Today was probably my third visit to this place. We came promptly at 11 for lunch. We've also came in on Sunday for brunch which was perfection! Everything we've had so far has been great! The cornbread, rice, and beans that come with the lunch special are fantastic. I love the fact that they have tinga chicken on the menu. It's a thing that's hard to find! The cheese dip (Chile con queso) is way better than cheese dip at most places. The brunch chicken and waffles comes with a pimento cheese and some kind of avocado sauce that is amazing! The cornbread waffle and if you take the syrup and drizzle it over the chicken it makes my favorite chicken and waffles I've probably ever had. The lunch special tamales, specifically the Yucatan chicken is pretty good. I love probably everything we've ordered that hasn't wound up with cilantro. The drinks by the way taste absolutely amazing! We got a frozen margarita once and it went down like water. I don't know where mine disappeared to! Heather is a great server that we ask for each visit now and we've also gotten the gentleman who's name I never caught once(today) I hope no one takes offense to this but he looks like a maybe Cuban Tony Stark. He's very fast! The one "ick" I have with the place is that they do not disclose which items on the menu have cilantro in them. Cilantro is an allergy which effects around 8-13% of the population. Many people who are allergic just think they "don't like" Mexican food because it's too hard to find the tiny leaves and isolate that as the part you don't like. The chipotle chicken tamale had a soap taste along with the starter salsa. I asked about the guacamole and yes that has it in there also."

"Rosaritas has very good food. We enjoyed the chips and salsa to begin dinner. The chips are this so they don’t destroy your appetite for the main course. The dinners include tasty rice and refried beans. Our waitress was cordial and efficient. Our problem was with the hostess. We asked for a booth. She explained two other groups had just been seated in booths and so we might have to wait longer to be served. We said that was ok as we weren’t in a hurry. This seemed to set her off. She stomped to the booth with a disgusted look and threw down the menus. This was anything but professional. It was not crowded as it was before five pm."

"The Best!!! My wife and I love eating at causal Mexican restaurants and have eaten at many over the years. Rosalita’s was hands down the best one we have ever eaten at. Like most places, they bring you complimentary chips and salsa. Rosalita’s was my favorite, light crispy, and fried with delicious salsa. We ordered the fajitas which we always share at Mexican restaurants. Rosalita’s again surprised us. Thinly sliced meet and lots of peppers and caramelized unions made it stand out. The service was fantastic and even the manager Marc came by twice to welcome us and get us anything we needed. Highly recommend!!"

"OUTSTANDING!- a “must go” for Sanibel. -and this from a person who “doesn’t really like Mexican food”! My husband loves it - and now I do TOO! Chicken fajitas amazing and huge portion. Accompanying FRESH guacamole, pico de gallo, refried beans, rice & SO DELICIOUS- (and I thought I didn’t like rice n beans!!) And OMG!- the masita (sweet corn cake)= LIKE DESSERT (swoon!) even the thin crisp chips and salsa were incredible. Alex our server fast, friendly, sociable and fun. Great outside eating also. FANTASTIC PLACE!"
