The Little Woman reeeeeeeally likes Mexican food, so we probably eat 1 out of 3 meals out at one Mexican place or another. There's one near our house that we frequent for the sake of convenience, and several others fairly close by. They're all decent, but in most respects they are ALL THE SAME, at least in the dishes they offer. So, imagine my surprise when we visit Rosita's Mexican Restaurant, 8908 S. St. Peter Street, in a (yawn) strip mall just across County Line Road from the Greenwood Park Mall, and find an extensive menu with many variations on traditional dishes and a few items I've never heard of. (Yes, I ended a sentence with a preposition, so what?! It's almost impossible not to do.... DANG! Did I just do it again? Sigh....)
We've been there twice, now: on both occasions, TLW had two chicken tacos and loved them-- they use a LOT of cilantro and spices, so they were very, very tasty. I had the Burrito Roqueta the first time; it's a burrito covered with a yellow-green cilantro sauce, the likes of which I've never had before-- it was deeeelicious! On our second visit I had the Fajitas Toluca-- a combination of steak, chicken, and shrimp fajitas combined with ground Chorizo in the sauce, which was FANDAMTASTIC. My iced tea was real brewed tea, which is quite the find for someone who really likes tea. The service was excellent, and the waitresses both times were quite easy on the eyes (OW! Sorry, dear....). The only thing not stellar about this place was that the rice and beans were good but just like everywhere else. I can't wait to go back and try the Molcajete that everyone on Tripadvisor is talking about-- it's named after the Mexican version of a mortar and pestle, and I think its served in the mortar, a combination of various meats and vegetables cooked together. Umm.... Comemos!
