We ate here once during Tucson #1 and the food was ok but didn't create an impression worthy of a second visit. We ate here again ( 5 years later) because i had a 50% off second entree coupon and vast improvements have occurred.
The food was delicious and the atmosphere festive and so colorful. I guess i didn't notice all the decorations because it was crowded when we first ate here but the place is a blaze of hues and shades and neon colors; blues, greens, purples, yellows and lots of pictures and vases and several walls that were painted with murals of mexican history scenes and aztec gods spiriting away nubile maidens clutching chile rellenos.
I had a combo plate of a beef taco, beef tamale and cheese enchilada. (oh, the tortilla chips were excellent; warm and very thin) The cheese they use is not queso fresca but cheddar so that was a disappointment but the only one. The tamale and taco were wonderful and loads of meat. I didn't have to burrow through inches of corn masa to get at the scanty meat portion in the middle of the tamale; it was packed end to end. The sauce was just the right heat.
Bill had 2 beef tacos and a beef tamale and liked the food as much as i did. Rice and beans came with the entrees but i didn't eat the beans as they were covered with the cheddar cheese.
Next time i want try their green corn tamale and avocado enchilada.
Rosa rules!
