We were told that the Micheladas were excellent and that the food was good. The michelada we received tasted like straight black pepper. We asked if they could remake it with less pepper. That gave us the very same amount. Definitely not a good michelada. The food was okay, but nothing to brag about.
The place was nice, packed but only waited 10 min to get seated. Our waitress was Shelby. Very nice and attentive! Prices weren’t bad.

We visited Rosario’s on a Sunday around 4pm. The place is open so it can get pretty loud. We were seated immediately. The paintings are beautiful! We had to wait a bit before our server spoke to us and our table was still dirty. The food came out quickly and totally made the experience worth it. Best mole I’ve had! It was perfect. The lengua was nice, tender, and full of flavor, and the margarita was delicious. We waited awhile after we told them we were ready for our check, but by that time we were full and pretty happy. Worth checking out for the food, but expect a wait on the service once

3.5 would have been more accurate of an overall rating.
I give it a 4 for ambulance and atmosphere. More contemporary decor, cool looking bar, and well-spaced for social distancing.
Our server was very friendly but service was unreasonably slow. We were almost finished with our chips, salsa and queso by the time our bar drinks made it to the table. My son really liked his Coco Rita and I really enjoyed the sangria.
However I was almost ready to cancel the drink order due to slow service.
Our table would not recommend the fish tacos.
I had the Lisa's special which was great and my daughter

This restaurant is the WORST place to visit! The hostess was rude and unaccommodating, unwilling to seat us and could care less that it was the first place that my husband and myself met 29 years ago!
We ended up leaving when clearly there were SEVERAL other tables open to sit at. We basically waited for nothing! Do not waste your time here!

We went here on a recommendation from a friend that lives here. She was right and it did not disappoint. Good drinks and good service. I had a pina colada while we waited for a table. My friend ordered a watermelon margarita. It was so good she talked about it the rest of the trip. And kept trying to find somewhere that had a good as margarita as she did there. I ordered nachos and she had shrimp tacos. Both really good tasting. It was busy for a Friday night and I can see why.

This place is FANTASTIC! We walked in and were immediately greeted by the friendly hostess. She sat us within 1 minute. The high ceilings, dim lighting and bright colors make for a nice atmosphere. The server, Marissa, was taking our drink order within 2 minutes. This place has amazing salsa; don't skip it. I had shrimp nachos. They were gorgeous and full of flavor, and there must've been a shrimp on every single chip! My colleague had the fish tacos. From the looks of his empty plate, they were also delicious. This is a must visit in San Antonio! Ask for Marissa!

It's not exactly the same animal as the original Rosario's in Southtown, but Rosario's of the north still has a lot to offer. Despite many Tex-Mex eateries in the vicinity, the name here still carries a lot of weight for lunch-goers, tourists, and folks who simply can't resist their queso. (#1) I would probably consider them somewhere around a 3.5 star wise, but rounding up for potential.
This location is pretty convenient for the many locals who don't (ever) feel like venturing toward downtown. One thing that stands out immediately is just how spacious and modern it is

A friend recommended this place while we were visiting San Antonio. Really loved the atmosphere and the service was excellent. The waiter allowed me to taste a few sauces before I placed my order which made a world of difference on my enchiladas. The only disappointment is that we ordered to go. We will return soon and definitely will be eating in. The food was excellent. No complaints about anything! I highly recommend this for great food and my wife loved the margaritas.

Rosario's is a super adorable Mexican restaurant near the airport with ample parking. The margaritas - not the best, not the worst - glad they were only $6 thanks to Happy Hour (4-7pm Sat). The queso - flavor wise, possibly the blandest queso I've ever had, although the hidden pico helped step it up a bit. That being said, it paired flawlessly with the chicken flautas I ordered, so I have no regrets tacking on an order of Queso Rosario's. My one true fault - I came here with two friends who both ordered the flautas especiales and both of them received food that was visibly burnt

So much to like about this place, except for the food.
Service: 5
Atmosphere: 4
Food: 2
The tortillas felt like cheap store bought, not even good store bought. The HEB tortillas are better than this. I had the Carnitas and they were dry and flavorless. Same goes for the beans and guacamole.
This is a good place to bring tourists, or a date that you want to keep things safe with food wise.

Rosario's has two locations, I went to their North restaurant for dinner based on a Google search. While, this has the appearance of an upscale Mexican restaurant, the ambiance is not what I would have expected. The dining experience is very loud due to hard surfaces everywhere. Seating is not any better either with hard metal chairs. There were no booths I could see even though the dining area could certainly handle it. We were sat next to a table with a toddler who would let out a piercing scream occasionally.
