Night 1, started with a basket of light tortilla chips and Rosalita’s salsa with a 20oz Gold Margarita and a waitress with a smile and southern hospitality.
For dinner, I had the pan-seared grouper with butternut squash and zucchini, Rosalita’s sweet habanero sauce on the side, and she substituted their coconut cilantro rice for butternut hash! Woweee-full of so many flavors and absolutely most colorful presentation. The entire meal was excellent!And…for desert-I had their take on Fried Ice cream! This is the only part of the meal that disappoints. I’ll give it a second chance tomorrow night. I’m in the Hilton down the street so tomorrow night I plan to have the Chili Rellanos. I’m be back Saturday night for the Chili Rellanos!
Second night…the Chili Rellanos didn’t have the flavor I expected. They too had that out-of-season “off” flavor. I only made it half way through one of the two grilled peppers stuffed with cheese and fried in a light batter. The refried beans were tasty.
After ordering the Ice Cream twice now, I have concluded that the Ice Cream desert wasn’t fried at all. It’s done like I do at home, only they haven’t followed the somewhat labor intensive recipe. The cornflakes weren’t ground with nuts and fried until crispy in a skillet before rolling the frozen ice cream/cool whip balls in the mixture. I’m not even sure if the cinnamon and cool whip was folded into the ice cream or not. It appears to just be a ball of ice cream, simply rolled in terribly stale and tough Corn flakes, placed in a sugar cone bowl and served. It was surprisingly bad enough that I tried it twice with the same stale flavor of corn flakes both times. I would remove this dish from the menu OR simply go the distance and do the recipe justice for the $8 ball of ice cream rolled in flakes. I have never used the word choices similar to “terrible, stale, remove it from the menu” before in any of my reviews.
These are just my opinions and are not intended to be hurtful or otherwise harmful. Tomorrow night, I plan to try the Steak Diablo.

After being seated, we waited nearly 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged us — no water, no greeting, nothing. Once a server finally came by, service was okay, but the rough start definitely set the tone.
My margarita wasn’t cold and tasted mostly like mix. When our food arrived, one entrée was incorrect, so we sent it back. I didn’t mind waiting for the correct dish, and to be fair, when it did come out, it was delicious.
Unfortunately, things went downhill again at the end. After asking for our check and paying, we later realized when we got home we’d been charged for three entrées instead of two. They charged us for what they incorrectly brought and immediately took away.
Between the long wait just to be acknowledged, mediocre drinks, and an inaccurate bill, the overall service was really poor. I expected much better!
