We visited on Sunday afternoon for lunch. You order at the counter and pick up when ready, with seating on the second floor. Staff were helpful, but it took a little long to cook our order. The quesadillas were great, but you should add a protein, and you get chips with a combo.

I always enjoy Santa Rosa! It's always fresh food. The service has always been great. The Margaritas are hands down delicious, and they will get you right!!! It's a regular spot for me!! My favorite tacos are the fried shrimp and cod. My least favorite items on the menu are the salsa and the street corn. But the margaritas are enough to make up for that!

Local casual gourmet restaurant. Friendly service, reasonable pricing (under $50 for 2). Upstairs is air conditioned seating, but also you can seat outside.

Was in town, it was close to hotel. Wasn’t sure what I wanted to get. Khalil assisted me, as I was very interested in the margarita flight. Because I had a coconut allergy they substituted another margarita. Khalil was very accommodating to my coconut allergy. Out of the 4 drinks, I only liked one, the flora mojito, the drink was very refreshing. Khalil’s customer service was professional, fun and I feel like he is an asset to this establishment. He informed me of other events that was upcoming, but unfortunately my group would not be in town. The only reason for the 4 stars, I didn’t not enjoy all of the margaritas on the flight. Would I return…yes, if in the area. My group ate outside as there was a function going on upstairs. 5 stars to Khalil on his customer service.

Phenomenal food! Quality ingredients, bold flavors, beautiful presentation. Plenty of seating. About a dozen tacos to choose from. Looking forward to our next meal at Santa Rosa Taqueria already!!

This is a good place for a leisurely lunch. The flavorful food invites you to take your time and savor it, along with conversation with your companions, or alone with a good book. On this day, I had my favorite, tempura battered cod tacos with salsa and chips and black beans and rice—the #1 combo on the menu board. A combo must come with a discount, or maybe there was a special coupon today, because although the menu board said it was $15.00, with a pineapple drink, my order only came to $13.80. That’s an inexpensive lunch for D.C. Even Pete’s Diner down the street would have a hard time matching the quality and quantity of food for that price. The cod was perfect, with a crispy batter and flaky, white flesh. The house cream and slaw had the perfect combination of heat and tang. This place is definitely worth a try if you like tacos and want a good meal for a good price.
