Editorial Review for Rosario's – by Robert Macias
The Scene
Tourists and locals of all ages chow down at lunch and dinner, but the scene becomes younger and hipper as day turns to night. The decor evokes a sense of playful fun, thanks to touches like a neon-accented bar, purple ceiling and wall covered in maracas.
The Food
For a light starter, order the tangy and fresh-tasting seviche served with avocado and thick homemade tostadas. Leave plenty of time if you want to fully enjoy the enchiladas de mole--slow chewing will unleash the subtle hints of cinnamon, chocolate and other secret spices. You'll have a hard time slowing down, however, if you choose the camote y pollo adobado, a delectable sweet potato-and-chicken casserole smothered in a spicy ancho sauce and topped with crema fresca. Excellent choices abound for spice-loving vegetarians, including the tacos de nopalitos--corn tortillas packed with diced cactus, red onion and serrano peppers.

This restaurant is our favorite Mexican place in town. It has a great location, great salsa, and its one of the few places in town that offers Pollo con Mole and that dish alone is worth the trip. We are also fans of the quesadilla with potatoes and chorizo and the chorizo flameado. I can only guess as to why but there have been no female servers at Rosarios in the 3 years that we have been going and the ladies at the door are generally wearing something tight, low-cut, and lycra. Overall the service is inconsistent at best, never awful, never awesome and don't expect friendly happy service except for the the generally pleasant females at the door.
Pros: ambience, food, location
Cons: service is sometimes spotty and it gets really loud inside

I have been going to Rosario's since they were at the old location down the street and it has NEVER dissapointed me!! It is a true staple in the Southtown area and way better than anything you would ever find on the river. Some of my favorites are the ceviche (always fresh and tasty) , callejero tacos and enchiladas suaves. The margaritas are awesome as well, the tuna margarita and the mexican handshake are great. The service is always top notch, Gonzalo is our favorite waiter, he always remembers our names and what we like to eat. It can get pretty loud on the weekends if you go late when the bands are playing but if you want quiet the back room is the place to sit. Definatley the best mexican food in the city!!
Pros: Awesome food and Margaritas
Cons: It is always busy
