" After hearing rave reviews, I finally visited Rosita's and was not disappointed! The atmosphere is vibrant, embodying that classic taco joint vibe. I ordered tacos al pastor and carne asada tacos both of which were incredibly good. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but the seating was quite packed at peak hours. Still, the food experience made it well worth it. I’ll certainly be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Rosita's Al Pastor is one of those places you should definitely visit if you want great Mexican food. Their menu has a variety of options, and each item is made from scratch. I tried their tacos and they were delicious! I wish the parking situation were better, but overall, the experience was wonderful. I'm looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to visiting Rosita’s Al Pastor because of all the buzz. I ordered the pastor tacos but found them to be quite average. They're not bad, but after hearing all the praises, I was expecting something more flavorful. The environment is fun, and it’s packed, but the food didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Maybe I'll try something else next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having been to a few taco places in Austin, I can't say Rosita's was my favorite. The tacos were decent, yet I found them to be a bit overpriced for what you get. The flavor was okay, but I expected much more from the Al Pastor. Service was friendly but I had issues with the wait. It might be worth the visit for others but I didn’t find it to be as special. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Rosita's on a Friday night, and it was a bit of a wait, but totally worth it! The birria tacos were some of the best I've ever had - juicy, savory, and packed with flavor. The handmade corn tortillas elevated the experience even further. The service was super helpful as the staff offered recommendations and made us feel at home. Will definitely be coming back for more. Don't miss out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Seeing the popularity of Rosita's, I had high expectations, and thankfully they didn’t disappoint! I had the Al Pastor taco and a burrito. Both were delicious—you could tell the ingredients were fresh and they offered generous portions. The staff was friendly and seemed genuinely happy to serve us. I will definitely return for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were excited to try Rosita's after hearing about their cuisine. The ambiance is nice, a casual yet welcoming setup. However, I felt the tacos were a bit underwhelming in comparison to other places. The pastor seemed a bit dry and lacked the fresh taste I was looking for. Service was attentive but I expected more from the food. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. " (*Curated Review*)
