My friends and I visited this Mexican restaurant for a weekend dinner, and it did not disappoint. Located in the Newport Hill Shopping Center, parking was plentiful, and the restaurant boasts a comfortable ambiance with ample seating—including patio options—and even a bar setup. The service staff were friendly, making our dining experience enjoyable from start to finish.
We started with the blackened chicken nachos, which came in a good portion loaded with cheese and meat, though the meat was a bit on the lighter side. For our mains, we ordered a variety of dishes including the tacos carnitas and steak, Rosa burrito, Rosa bowl, and the Rosa combo. The meat in each dish was delicious, with the steak taco standing out in particular, and the Rosa combo was both plentiful and satisfying.
Overall, this is a great spot to enjoy a taste of Mexican cuisine in a relaxed setting.

Love this place. Only thing I might mention is the fact that my guest and I sat at the bar for 2 hours and got very little in terms of service attention (though when we did it was congenial). Drinks would empty and we would have to flag down the bartender. Other than that, though, this place is always great

Surprisingly delicious food. The ingredients feel like great quality and recipes taste fantastic. We’ve been to many Mexican restaurants and this one really shines. The queso fundido and the Rosa Bowl were real stand-outs for me as a vegetarian. Will definitely come back when I’m in the area. Totally worth a detour to check this place out. Service was very friendly and the atmosphere was fine too as we are outside yet the view is a grocery store parking lot. No big deal as the food tastes complex and delicious.

Gem of a Mexican restaurant, with white table clothes and 10/10 service. The meals are authentic and tasty. We usually go to larger establishments but decided to go outside of our comfort zone, and we are glad we did. Highly recommended. Abundant parking.

Great cozy Mexican joint in the heart of the harbor view aka port streets community. Plenty of parking spaces available. Free.
Visited this boutique Mexican restaurant nestled in the heart of Newport beach’s port street neighborhood after about 10 years. It doesn’t seem much from outside in between the ace hardware store and a dry cleaning store but once you walk in, you feel like you are in a middle of an authentic restaurant in the middle of Santa Ana. There is a nice large bar in the middle and a semi open kitchen. I had the cucumber jalapeño margarita that had a very nice kick. I also ordered the salad with blackened chicken. Wife had the shrimp fajita and my son has the carnitas. The other son has the combo taco and enchiladas. The food arrived a bit late but everything tasted amazing and of high quality. Prices are reasonable and we will back again. The only things that seemed to be priced very high was the guacamole on appetizer menu that goes for $18, even though it comes with a bean dip and salsa, it is too much. Also it would be nice if they served complimentary chips and salasa like other restaurants instead of charging $6.

Where do I begin!? This place was a great experience, 5-stars ALL THE WAY! One of the best places for a nice Sunday brunch meal and experience. I was so pleased with everything.
For starters, the service from Lorenzo our waiter was superb, he was attentive, made great recommendations/suggestions, was clear and conscise, had an overall positive attitude, and was a good conversationalist. I also met one of the owners and their niece, they were both warm hearted and kind people, they welcomed me in with big smiles, and even checked on me multiple times throughout my visit. They also let me know of their other locations/restaurants and even a little but about their history with this restaurant. Very nice people.
The atmosphere was just perfect, exactly what you would expect from a Mexican food restaurant, perfectly decorated, and Spanish music playing in the background. The Mariachis were there, playing live, which also added a more authentic experience to the place, and they played well too! Ample room inside, and outside! Comfortable chairs and sturdy tables.
As far as their food goes, just wow! Great Mexican food, and I have to say this place has the best mole I have ever tried! Their pozole was amazing as well, I can go there and have bowl after bowl of their pozole alone, and I would be happy just with that! But all their other food is too good to pass up. I went there for their Sunday brunch, and their assortment and variety is so vast, I was not let down whatsoever. So much to choose from for all you picky eaters, LOL! They have great tasting foods, tacos, enchiladas, pozole, empanadas, ceviche, chile verde, rice, beans, omelet station, salad, fruit, desserts/sweets and more! The ceviche plates were fresh and tasty! The tres leches cake was delicious! The enchiladas were filling! Everything was good, I was not upset about anything I tried! I tried as much as I could, and I was impressed more and more with every food I tried.
I would like to add, their mimosas are delicious. I’m not a drinker, but when they combine their freshly squeezed orange juice to their great tasting champagne, I enjoyed this drink very much so. I believe that is the trick to the best tasting mimosas, fine champagne, and freshly squeezed orange juice, not the store bought orange juice like most other places, yuck! But not this place, it is freshly squeezed, you can clearly see it and taste it, what a difference! So I would like to say, this will now be my go to for brunch, hands down. And yes, it is an hours drive time away from me but that’s ok, it’s all worth it for me.
Thank you Lorenzo for being a fine gentlemen!
See you guys soon again!

We recently visited Taco Rosa in Newport Beach and were blown away! Right from the start, the Cadillac Margarita prepared our palates for an incredible meal. The Queso Fundido, with its burst of flame and flavor, was a showstopper.
But the real stars were the Chile Relleno Tacos and Tacos de Filete – each bite was a mix of traditional taste and modern flair, especially the melt-in-your-mouth brie on the Tacos de Filete. It’s clear that Taco Rosa prides itself on using fresh ingredients to reinvent Mexican classics.
The atmosphere was just as impressive, buzzing with energy and warmth. Whether you’re with friends or family, Taco Rosa promises a fun and flavorful experience.
Don’t just take our word for it, head over to Taco Rosa and taste the magic for yourself. It’s an experience you won’t forget!

I’ve been here several times and never been disappointed. The food is a refreshing upscale twist to traditional Mexican dishes. Tacos are unique, burritos large and quality ingredients. Service is always good. If you’re in the mood for Mexican food but tired of the same old thing you should give this place a try. Prices for dinner range between $10-$20 on average. Some more some less. You can get a good taco for $5. I felt the pricing was totally fair for the meal. I got the blackened chicken burrito. My wife got a couple different tacos and a friend got the Mexico City enchilada. Everything was excellent
