is this family friendly

Of course 😳❤❤😍

Do they have horchata margaritas?

Yes maam

Is there free parking at this restaurant?

Yes, but it fills up quick. You might have to circle around until you find a spot or park in the street.

Do they have happy hour

Yes, enjoy 😀

Who owns this resturant?

Lisa Wong

Do they have a parking lot?

Yes, there is a packing lot just beside it, but you hardly find free packing space in it. But since cars are coming and going, you will eventually get a place to pack your car, you just have to be patient

The food is very rich but my question is, how much does it cost to fix the downtown air conditioning? I went to eat and I was sweating like pigs I would not recommend it for this situation, FIXED IN AIR !!!!

I love Rosario's Puffy Tacos

Are you open on Sunday and until what time

They are midnight

They are in a great location in downtown but the food was mediocre. San Antonio should be the soul of Tex-Mex but this place fell short. The puffy tacos were on the greasy side(the shell). The queso flameado was cold and the chorizo was gritty. It certainly did not have flames and was not at all gooey as one would expect. I would not revisit this place as there are many places that are simply better than this place. If it's trendy and average you seek, then this is the place for you.

First 5 star Fajitas I have had since coming back to San Antonio. Even the tortilla has happy face about it. Puffy tacos not as happy and little limp as compared to Henry's, but since no puffy tacos in the area by riverwalk still the best here. Unlike most restaurants on Riverwalk where you meet only tourist this one has mostly locals which says a lot. My tortilla was alive and so was I . Viva La Rosario's. Well worth the short walk off the Riverwalk to try.

This place was phenomenal even with the limited menu due to covid.We got fajitas for two, the beef was definitely better than the chicken.The tortillas both corn and floor were great and you could tell made fresh.Totally San Antonio texmex at its finest, this place is worth the stop and the prices we'll within reason for the quality and atmosphere.The bar was legit.

It was good, the food had great flavors. I was concerned that the sauce sits at the table through multiple customers. I had a great experience. The guacamole was amazing the meals were good. I do recommend this place for a good meal.

The guacamole wasn’t anything special, pretty run of the mill. The enchiladas were alright. The one item that had great flavor, and was impressive, was the side cup of beans! And they were great. Overall, kinda so-so. Maybe our expectations were too high, but I think there is better in San Antonio.

Great chips and salsa. I found a bit of steel wool in my food and notified the waitress about it. I didn't really care about the steel wool in my food, it can happen to anyone. Manager later approached me and comped my meal! The food was good, so I would have happily paid for the meal, but they insisted. Great service! 10/10 would eat again.

Ordered potato enchiladas. Waiter brings chicken enchiladas. I send them back. He tells me I ordered incorrectly. Lol. I order a new entree. Entree comes out incomplete. I’m sure I ordered incorrectly again. Lol. I literally drove 30 miles over and back, to pay someone to show me how little they care about there job. Wild world. I still tipped 40% which is likely the only thing I did that was actually incorrect. I really don’t think the waiter even realized how poor of an experience he was facilitating. That was the most impressive part of the evening.

I really have nothing to complain about for this delicious, welcoming service and super economical price. They had complementary nachos and they kept refilling them. The sauce was spicy but refreshing. I ordered Lisa's special. Everything was well seasoned, especially about the chicken and the beef. They must have cooked it for hours already.

Good, but not as great as I remembered from my last visit. Drinks were not as awesome, and food was pretty good - but the salsa seemed a lot different from my last visit. Had better salsa at other places. Worth a visit for decent food though.

Was a little disappointed. No chips and salsa. My beer was almost room temp. Bloody Mary was $8 and in skinny glass with mostly ice. Waiter left empty beer bottles on the table the entire meal and never refilled our empty water glasses. GF got spinach mushroom enchiladas and they were good. I got enchilada mole that looked like it been under heat lamp awhile bc it was dry and crusty on top. Ask for a cup of Suiza sauce. $2. Ask for cup of sour cream. $2. I understand food service can be off sometimes especially during the WuFlu madness. Kitchens may not be fully staffed or have their best people. Otherwise the building has an eclectic charm to it.

Rosarios was a great find for us during this Covid-19 era. The fajitas melted in your mouth. The rice and beans were excellent. And paying for the chips was well worth it for the amount you get. Will definitely come back.

You know you're going to love a place when you've finished the chips and salsa in about 3.5 seconds of it being on the table...was such good salsa, my god. Our server was lovely and the drinks were fantastic. The food was traditional and the atmosphere was loud, fun and exciting. Really enjoyed our meal here! We were there in Winter and had about a 20 min wait for a table (and it was later in the night), so get there earlier if you can!

This was not my first time but it was for some of my friends. We were 8 and we were celebrating a birthday. Everything was perfect. This is a very busy location but if you prepare yourself with time everything will run smooth. We make a reservation and like other downtown venues they require that the majority of the party to be present before being seated. 20 mins later after checking in we were seated and our sever came to us right away. The food didn’t take too long and we got chips and salsa in the mean time. They had live music and the food tasted good. Definitely I will be celebrating more birthdays here!

The best Mexican restaurant in San Antonio with the best staff and crew. So many choices and great for vegetarians including their vegetarian Charro beans. Unfortunately it will be a while before we can make it back there because of this virus but when I do I can’t wait to get my regular plate of puppy guacamole tacos and say hi to my favorite waiter Edward and hi to Michelle and Ashley!!!!

*6* if possible. The free chips are the most light (but strong), crispy and delicious I have ever had. The salsa is peppery and pairs SO well. The service was top notch and then I got into my food. I ate every bite and it was AMAZING. The price for everything was actually good too! This has become my new standard for Mexican food. I only wish I lived here, but then again it might be good for my waistline that I don't. The only bad part was trying to park.

Rosario's is 1 of the best Mexican restaurants in SA, yes, I said it. It has good authentic Mexican and the margaritas are top notch. The locale is gorgeous and the staff tentative and accommodating. The day I went was for a special occasion and we stayed hours and not once did they rush us or anything like that. If your visiting the city, I highly recommend Rosario's!!!

I am a big foodie, and they just served some of the best Mexican food I’ve eaten my whole life. Their lengua plate was seasoned to the absolute perfection. Many restaurants don’t do that properly and so the flavor just doesn’t hit the mark. But Rosario’s really sets the standard here! Worth the price.

I am so glad Rosario's Mexican Cafe Y Cantina is back open! Their shrimp tacos are some of the best shrimp tacos I have ever tasted. The shrimp is so fresh. Their home-made salsa and chips taste so good. It is shocking that the chips and salsa are free with how good they taste.
