Welcome to Rosy's Taco Bar East

“ I can only rate it on takeout. My friends and I ordered it, said it would take 20 minutes and it was correct. They packed it up nicely, ensured it was all balanced and made sure there were enough sauces. Truly all the tacos were delicious, cannot pick a favorite, different tastes and flavors I believe we got the Al Pastor, Pollo Tinga, Carnitas, Shrimp and Chorizo! We'll definitely have to actually dine in amd try out the rest of the menu plus happy hour! ”

“ Stopped in for margaritas, chips, guacamole, and salsa. I was not disappointed. You can tell everything is made from scratch. The chips are thick and don't break when scooping up the delicious guacamole and fantastic salsa! If i could buy jars of their salsa I would. ”

“ I was craving a taco and finally got a chance to try Rosy's tacos. We were seated quickly and ordered our drinks. The decor is festive and cool. We ordered chips+guac, the al pastor tacos and plantains. The chips were so tasty and the guac was fresh, smooth with perfect amount of acidity. My Al Pastor tacos were smaller than I anticipated, but flavorful. I ordered the plantains plain, they come with creme fresh. They didn't get it right but our waitress quickly rectified the order. The person I was with ordered a burrito no cheese and cheese was added and since it's melted cheese there was no way around it. Otherwise we had a great visit. ”

“ Being from Los Angeles and having 50% Mexican blood flowing through my veins being pumped at an idyllic blood pressure of 120/80, my expectations for Mexican food on the east coast have become astronomically low. Time and time again I have been let down, so when the homie recommended this place for a Sunday night dinner I internally thought "how much can one man take..." but the hopeless optimist in me agreed to try once again. Walking into Rosy's it was dead quiet, with the staff outnumbering the customers. But, something magical happened. I actually caught a glimmer of an authentic Mexican vibe. Too many Mexican spots out here go ALL OUT Mexican themed to the point where it's clearly a knock off of somesort. After settling in, I confirmed it to be true. Rosy's interior has an authentic Mexican feel, I honestly felt like I was back home and it made me a little homesick. Damn I miss my mom and abuelita now..... We sat down and ordered chips and guac and some drinks to start. At $15 the chips and guac hurt the pockets, but fed the soul. The chips were fantastic, and the chip quality can make or break a Mexican restaurant don't let the mainstream media tell you otherwise. We got the fish and bistec tacos, and I was praying to the good lord Jesus Christ that they didn't have lettuce and that shredded cheddar cheese on them as so many Mexican places do on the east coast. To the delight of the eternal optimist in me, these tacos were properly garnished and SMACKED. They were the first tacos on the east coast that reminded me of my abuelitas. Were they as good? No. But they were in the same ballpark which means more than you could ever possibly know. Thank you Rosy’s, for proving the eternal optimist in me correct. I’ll be back!! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ ”

“ Came here with my son last night and had a great experience. I'd been to the Rosy's at 23rd & Walnut and loved the food there and thought it would be a fun dinner for us to check out their location in the old Creperie Beau Monde space. The food was as good as I expected it to be (the carnitas tacos and kid's cheese quesadilla didn't stand a chance), but what was even more delightful was the service, and especially how kid-friendly the spot was. When we arrived we were given a kids menu with crayons, already a welcome surprise because I didn't realize they actually had a kid's menu, but when we opened the crayons we realized they were hexagonal, as in they wouldn't roll off the table! Super bonus points for that. (They live in our house now.) On our trip to the bathroom before leaving we saw that they had a changing table in there, bonus points again, and I noticed highchairs available as well. As a parent these accommodations that make it easy to take my son out to dinner in the city make me really happy to see. Awesome job, Rosy's. ”

“ We went on Taco Tuesday during happy hour. It was so good and everything tasted great. It was like if you felt happy then doubling that feeling! Stop by Rosy’s! The staff is great. The food is great. The price is great! Enjoy! ”

“ I love to go to Rosy’s for really good tacos. The quality of the ingredients is on a different level - fresh and tasty every single time. I am vegetarian so I usually order the mushroom tacos, but they also have other vegetarian options like burritos, enchiladas or smaller plates. If you like sodas don’t forget to order the Mexican coca cola which comes in a glass bottle and tastes so much better than the one from the fountain. I highly recommend this place! ”

“ Our dinner at Rosy's was a 5-star treat for all our senses. It's our new favorite Mexican restaurant in Philly. We had their quesadillas, shrimp and pork tacos plus churros for dessert. Their tortillas are the best! Light and crispy with a hint of sweetness. The service was friendly, attentive and fast. The portions were the perfect size to devour everything without feeling too full. I enjoyed my Mexican Coke, but there's a full bar and hightop bar table area. It looks like they kept the historic goldleaf floral-painted walls, fireplace, funky wood seating and tin ceiling from the previous restaurant. They have space for upstairs and outdoor seating in season. The prices were reasonable for what we enjoyed. We wish them success in their second location. Our only request would be to add some vegan items so our friend can join us next time. ”
