Rosy's Taco Bar

Nice taco bar close to 30th Street Station, which is convenient if you want a quick bite to eat or a drink while you wait. I recommend stopping by, especially as a fan of any Philly sports (of course). Good churros and margs!

I went there for a quick lunch. The beef taco was really good, and the chips came with lots of guacamole(like enough for a whole family). The portion was big, and I liked the flavors. The service was fast and friendly, and there were plenty of outdoor seats.

Service was great. Food was excellent! Offers both frozen and on the rocks margaritas, with lots of fruit flavours to choose from! Generous amount of toppings for the nachos.

Rosy's Taco Bar serves delicious Mexican food, we arrived after 10 and dinner area was closed but they were still serving some small plates like nachos, quesadillas and tacos, is had the chicken quesadillas and they were good. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere very welcoming with colorful decoration. Recommend it! Homemade margaritas is the highlight!

A hot spot. Great tacos, nachos, margaritas, michelada I could go on ! We sat at the bar but there is seating for big and small groups. Attentive service. Unbeatable happy hour and late night offerings.

This is a place for happy hour or night out, it has a fun atmosphere and spacious seating. This time I came for a quick bite took a seat at the bar and with the $5 happy hour menu any choice is a good one I went for the tacos(3 per order) nachos and house margarita

I was very excited to finally try Rosy’s for the first time this evening, but I was let down and disappointed in many ways that I’m not sure I would try again. I ordered the Al Pastor tacos, a side of rice, and the Esquites. I never received the Esquites, my mini side of rice was flavorless and cold, and the worst part is that my tacos look like their container was used to play football in the kitchen as well as being ice cold. It’s very frustrating to have spent 40$ and not be able to eat any of it.

The tacos are overall okay. I really liked the chicken tinga tacos but the pork al pastor was really dry. Their margaritas are super good though! I got their mango marg and it was very refreshing. My friends got pineapple which was also really nice but their plain house marg was a 3/5 for me. Side note, their enchiladas are also really good (not pictured here)

As someone who just moved up from Florida (and originally from Texas), I'll admit I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to Mexican food -- so Rosy's isn't exactly authentic, but it has its own charm. It's a trendy taco spot with a full bar, plenty of menu options, and a great location right in Rittenhouse. I ordered the bistec tacos -- the meat was tender and cooked well, but lacked the seasoning I'm used to. Definitely felt more "white-washed" than traditional. My partner got the shrimp enchiladas, and they were also missing the bold flavors and spice you'd normally expect. Nothing was bad, just a little watered down across the board. We also got the chips with salsa and guac for $15 -- steep compared to what you'd get for free back home, but to their credit, the guac was super fresh and they gave us a generous portion. The salsa was clearly homemade and fresh too, just milder and thinner than I prefer. Service was great -- our server was attentive, kept the water refilled, and the food came out fast. There's indoor and outdoor seating; inside is lively and festive, while outside is a bit quieter (but still by the road). They even pump music outside, which helps with the vibe. Overall, it's not authentic Mexican, but it's still a nice spot with fresh ingredients, good energy, and solid service.

P sure they're only running because of the hip decor and location. Otherwise? The food is super lackluster - their nachos were DOUSED in sourcream so you couldn't even taste the little flavor the chicken had. Did appreciate the cheese pull towards the beginning though. The esquites were p alright (but those shouldn't be hard to eff up) but the tacos left me wanting more (flavor wise... i was okay with only having those 3 rosy's tacos for the rest of my life)

I went there for a quick lunch. The beef taco was really good, and the chips came with lots of guacamole(like enough for a whole family). The portion was big, and I liked the flavors. The service was fast and friendly, and there were plenty of outdoor seats.

Brought a friend visiting Philly here for lunch and she's already planning her next visit to come back because of this place! We shared the esquites which were phenomenal! The two of us often order that when its on the menu, and Rosy's is the best by far. She ordered tacos and I got the queso enchiladas, we CLEANED our plates! Our sever was super friendly, the vibes were relaxed and welcoming. It's a bit pricy for what most Mexican food goes for in the city, but in my opinion it is well worth it. They even have a hot sauce bar where you can try out a dozen or so hot sauces with your meal!

Happy hour and taco Tuesday specials! Who could ask for more! I enjoyed my time at Rosy's Taco Bar! 2 mango margaritas (10/10), chicken tinga tacos (9/10), carnita tacos ( 8/10), wings ( 8/10), and nachos (8/10). The environment is laid back with music playing ( not too loud). I will visit again with friends.

I had walked past Rosy's dozens of times, but never had stopped in, until last night. We ordered 3 taco dishes - shrimp, chicken and steak. Let's start with the steak tacos. The steak was so well done, we chewed, and chewed, and chewed. I really can't remember having to chew meat for that long. Suffice to say, I didn't finish the taco, neither did my friend. Next, the shrimp tacos. They were fine - little marinated, grilled shrimps with an avocado salsa. I would have preferred larger shrimps, but for the price, (they probably were frozen) the tacos were good. Last, but definitely not least, the chicken tacos were actually very good; with shaved radish, and a delicious crema, the pulled chicken was flavorful and tender. Will I be returning to Rosy's? I don't think so.

Good food! Drinks were great and friendly staff. Good vibes all around. I think the inside is really nice.

So we ordered food on Uber eats and it was very fast being prepared and delivered! It was pretty tasty but nothing that really stood out to me. The tacos came with a yummy sauce to go on top and plenty of mushrooms. I also enjoyed the fresh avocado on top. There were many vegetarian options so that was a huge bonus for anyone who is vegetarian. I definitely got my money's worth from all the food. The Spanish rice and beans were good but nothing that really blew my mind. I'd eat here again for a quick meal, I might try something new next time!

Definitely some of the best tacos I've had in Philly and in my life. The atmosphere of Rosie's taco bar is lively and fun. The other food that we received like the nachos was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing as well. The service is always quick, helpful, and efficient. Additionally, the drinks were great too, and I definitely recommend this Mexican restaurant

This place is amazing. They are open late and even have a spot if you just want to pick up tacos after a long day of whatever! The service was quick even though we went really late at night. The Al pastor was to die for. I really liked how it was marinaded and tasted very juicy. The tacos had a kick to it. I wasn't expecting how the quesadillas just looked like a big burrito. I am unsure if this is the traditional way of making quesadillas but I wasn't that impressed by them.

Our service was very quick and the servers were great. The tacos and nachos were fantastic and all the sauces were great. The portion size of the tacos is a little small for the price, but other than that, great experience.

This place is a must for happy hour. Their pollo tinga tacos are so good and the price of 3 tacos for $5 is unheard of nowadays. However, the happy hour margarita was kinda gross and this is coming from a person who loves margs. It was pure margarita mix and barely any alcohol. If they just took the time to make their margs instead of using premade mix this place would be a 5/5. I feel like a 3/5 is harsh but how can u not have a good marg at a taco bar!! I'll be coming back for those tacos for sure though. Some of the best i've had!

I was pleasantly surprised by the food that I had here, maybe because I mostly associate it with happy hours and loud music. When we walked in, there were no tables left, but we managed to squeeze into a table near the bar, which is first-come first-serve. I ordered the fish tacos, and the seasoning and crispiness of the fish were great. I was also full after the three. For our appetizer, we got a bean dish that tasted a bit underseasoned. Next time I'll check out the happy hour!

Came here with a friend for lunch. We ordered guacamole and chips to start. The tacos came out less than 5 minutes after we started our appetizer. My friend got the mushroom tacos. I tried one and really liked it. I ordered the chicken tacos and thought they were okay. The chicken lacked flavor. They were playing EDM dance music in the background and they turned it up not long after we sat down. I thought the music selection was weird for a Monday lunch. I felt like I was in a club. The restaurant was clean and I like the decor. I would definitely consider coming back, but would suggest they play different music based on their customer audience. You're getting people on their lunch break on a Monday, so just make it more appropriate. Also, improve on the flavoring of your chicken. It was bland. I also thought the employee benefit fee on the receipt was weird. I hope that means you're paying your waitresses/waiters fairly and not just giving them $2.15 an hour.

I ordered the enchiladas and they sent me these black avocado, never had an avocado so bad and nasty.

Talk about portions! Tacos and esquites are The stand out items* *we got delivery and the corn literally came in a pint plastic container. So much good!

Loved Rosy's Taco Bar for my first visit! I've been recommended this bar before and I always hear the name and I was glad to finally try it and experience it for myself! To start, the ambiance overall is one to appreciate. I got to experience dining inside at the bar to start, the music/playlist was great, beautiful decor and a truly engaging and knowledgeable bartender! I had to take a meeting call outside and felt as though the patio was even remarkable! There are these wooden private seating areas that I believe are fitting to dine solo or with a group. The tacos (pictured) and the Smoke House Margarita (pictured) I chose were great! Really juicy tacos and an even better drink to top it off! My visit was early afternoon and it let into Happy Hour which wasn't bad! I recommend giving Rosy's a shot! Enjoy! Cheers!

One of our favorite places in the city! It's a gem that I'm almost afraid to publicize because it's so much better than the more mainstream Mexican place in town. The burrito bowls are amazing-the carnitas are to die for! Tasty margaritas, delicious guac and several kinds of salsas are all crowd pleasers. I also love that they treat their workers well-the small employee benefit fee added to the bill made me feel good knowing that I can help make a difference for people working hard!

The food was meh. I've never eaten with a group where we didn't finish a serving of guacamole or, for that matter, the tortilla chips! Both needed seasoning. Ditto with the burrito bowl--the zestiest part was the hot sauce provided on the side (which did have a good amount of heat). Not a good sign when Chipotle is mentioned as a favorable comparison. That said, service was terrific and we appreciated being able to eat outside on a warm spring day.

My mom and I ordered a chicken burrito and a taco salad for takeout--both of us were extremely disappointed with our food. The size of the burrito was way too small for $16 and there was no flavor. Also, the sauce that came with the burrito tasted like a tomato sauce that belongs on a pasta dish (very off putting). For the salad, the dressing was tasteless and the chicken wasn't seasoned at all.

Went here on a friday night at around 9pm. Ordered some tacos, wings and drink. The food was good, a bit on the smaller portion for the tacos for the price. Overall, it was a decent experience, but the service was slow from getting seated, ordering and getting check.

Service here is nice, prompt and helpful. OK, the look of the place is nothing worth writing Yelp about. Bathroom needs a tidy. Food was ok with the guacamole being the star. We had a nice time.

Love their burrito! The nachos are good as well(no pic). This is my go-to place for Mexican food in Philly.

Stopped in on a rainy day for a quick bite and drink. The place had plenty of open seating and a large bar area. Good vibes from what I could see in the brief hour I was in. Service was good and food came quickly. I got tacos and an appetizer but the star of the show was the chips and guacamole!!!! They were delicious!! Chips are so obviously made in house and the guac was a heaping portion!!! Bathroom is in need of a revamp though... it doesn't fit the ambiance of the restaurant. The stalls have massive gaps and not all doors closed and locked.

Short one here. Rosy's Taco Bar has both breakfast and lunch menus and offers a wide range of Tex-Mex options for any time throughout the day. The Japanese-style short-rib tacos were stellar and offered a unique and tender flavor that was outside the normal range of chicken, beef, or maybe even fish tacos. The guacamole was plenty, and the fresh, fried, and crispy house chips complimented it very well. There isn't much else to say here, but Rosy's Taco Bar is pretty solid!

Excellent tacos and wings! Priced right and perfect if you work late in the city. The tacos were traditionally smaller but packed with flavor. I tried al pastor. And the sauce on the wings was unique and tasty. Will definitely revisit Rosys.

Went for dinner on a late Saturday night and the vibe is really nice, plus our server was very nice and helpful. As for the food, we ordered the guacamole, al pastor tacos, and carnitas burrito, with a pitcher of one of their specialty cocktails to drink. Overall, everything was nice and flavorful, with generous portion sizes and a cool shelf full of hot sauces that we were able to try. We definitely want to come by again for happy hour.

Rosy's makes a good spicy margarita and really good shrimp tacos. The guac is inconsistent. The outside seating is a vibe! Very cute - aim to get a covered table if you can. Inside is so loud and just meh. I've had Margarita as a server more than once and she is lovely! Rosy's is also pretty affordable so I like coming here as a late night stop for some margs and snacks.

Good happy hour (Monday- Thursday 3-5pm) that I came here twice in one week. Nachos are only 5 dollars during happy hour and it's shareable! Good snack size if split between two people. Their margaritas are solid! Also, they have a whole shelf of various hot sauces (as seen in the picture). We tried to recreate hot ones YouTube show with every chip.

Rossy has become an staple for me n my friends best street corn in Philly lol all they tacos are great food comes out quick n open late ! Great first date n the baddies n there easy

Probably the worst place I've ever been to in Philly. Guac was gross. Server was so rude. Do not recommend :)

I had a wonderful time here at Rosy's. The food is still really good even though late at night. Same with the service, it was still very responsive and courteous. And also the ambiance was very cool and good/pleasant vibes! 5 stars

Went at 8 on a Friday night and was sat immediately. Started with chicken nachos which were some of the best I've ever had, great amount of toppings and chips didn't get too soggy! I had carnitas tacos, they were simple without too much going on and and the meat was tender. Ended with the churros that came with two dipping sauces, both of which were great. Our server was very kind and friendly as well!

Cute little spot tucked into the neighborhood we're staying in. About a 10-15 minute walk from Rittenhouse Square. They've got a really cool vibe inside and our personal favorite was the hot sauce wall for you to choose from. Prices are reasonable and food was great. We got the guacamole and Valentina wings to start. We're picky about wings coming from Buffalo - these appeared to be baked not fried (no satisfying crunch) but being Valentina sauce, best for those who appreciate vinegar. Tacos were good to - husband got carnitas, I got pollo. They're street taco tortillas - which held up really nicely! But the meat could have used a little more seasoning for my preference. Over all a good time!

such a fun place to grab some drinks and light food with your friends! the food is GREAT but the portions are a bit small so I would recommend either going for light fare or ordering more than you think you will need. If you go try to sit outside or in the front room!! it's especially fun on a day where the windows are open! They have a late night menu (see the pic of nachos) that we got delivered. Again, the food is great but the price is a bit difficult to justify.

Tacos were very mid for much an overpriced tacos. The server also was not the best, kind of rude to us. Chicken wings were dry as well

*Doordash review* The service was fine. The packaging was fine. The food arrived quick. But the food was just not good and the guacamole was RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. I ordered the chicken tacos. The tacos come with a shredded chicken that just seems to have ZERO seasonings in them. Extremely bland. They were also very small and had no type of salsa or hot sauce to help spice it up a little. I didn't taste any salt. I was underwhelmed and didn't eat any of the tacos. The guacamole only comes in one size which is $16 on DoorDash. I bit the bullet and ordered anyways and again - no salt, no lime, couldn't find any jalapeño. It was just another disappointment and waste of money. I do not recommend this establishment if you're looking for good Mexican food. And to make matters worse, there was no queso on the menu. Please save your money.

I REALLY want to love this place but lately the quality has been mediocre. They have great happy hour deals and a nice margarita but the portions are small and on the medium-high level of price for what you get. I would recommend going for happy hour and being prepared to order a few different dishes to fill up all the way! The space itself is cute and the servers are typically pretty friendly. Still a decent option for happy hour and food but maybe not my go-to.

First day in Philadelphia decided to give this spot a try. The food itself was a 5/10 to me but the service was closer to 3/4 out of 10. Within the first 10 minutes of sitting down I witnessed a group of disgruntled patrons leave the restaurant because a server was gossiping about them *allegedly* & my server was slow to check on me despite the restaurant not being super full. My server was also not well versed in what was good to eat/why it was good to eat.

I visited here twice with both a large group gathering and few friends. Both times we had great experiences. The waiters were very friendly and both the drink and food were great. Both time I ordered tacos and love them. Definitely a go to place when I am nearby.

tl;dr tasty tacos were overshadowed by hefty prices and a culinary blunder at this popular Rittenhouse taqueria Since Rosy's opening, it's been nearly impossible to miss the consistent buzz around their restaurant. Admittedly, I've lived within 3 blocks of Rosy's for years, but only now have found the opportunity to give them a whirl. The indoor space is dimly lit, accenting the offbeat wallpaper choices against an otherwise minimalist decor. The long wooden bar sports a flatscreen and a chalked menu of specials. The space booms with contemporary music and chatter alike. The outdoor accommodations are modest at best, with a surprisingly little lighting to illuminate the chipped paint along with the uncushioned benches. Make your way from the Walnut St entrance past the bar to the host stand, where a staff member may or may not be available to seat you (in our case, it was almost 5 minutes until we were seated at one of the many open tables). During my visit, I opted for the Coreanos Tacos, sporting Korean-style short ribs, chipotle mayo, and pickled accompaniments. In a matter of minutes, our taco plates were whisked to our table. Immediately, I was struck by how small the meal was -- these are street taco portions. After a few bites, I was impressed by the depth of flavors and quality of ingredients, which maintained a fine balance between savory greasiness and light freshness (albeit, partially because of the petite portion sizes). However, 2 tacos in, I almost chipped a tooth on a large bone fragment interspersed with the meat. Apart from the host, the service was prompt, friendly, and attentive. My meal sat at $17 after tax and tip -- and that's after I intentionally eschewed even the entry-level margaritas (which ring in at $10). As a Rittenhouse restaurant, Rosy's is very on-brand: great location, premium prices, and middling culinary experience.

Pretty good margaritas.Tajin is an awesome rim option instead of salt or sugar. Food options are good. Was a little disappointed with the size of a $14 avocado salad, however. It was a little on the smaller size.

AMAZING "mexican" food near Center City! My friend and I decided to go here for Happy Hour (Mon-Thur, 3-5pm) and we got the Pollo Tinga Tacos and Nachos. The Pollo Tacos were super juicy and delicious, topped with lettuce+radish+queso fresco. The nachos were also super cheesy and balanced! We got it without meat but probably would've been great with. We also got Mango Margs which were very salty for some reason? The drink itself was salty, excluding the salt rim which was slightly odd. After diluting it with water, it tasted more like orange juice and was fine. Wish there was more of a mango flavor though. I'd say the food is pretty pricey outside of Happy Hour so I would recommend going then for a quick snack! Be sure to ask for the menu, I wish they would give it out automatically. Otherwise, service was great!! Will come back to try their other tacos!

Excellent spot don't look this one over. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. They're also very well educated on their Mazcal and Tequila selection, as to be expected at an upscale but casual Mexican dining spot. Note that you're not coming here with a suit and tie, you're coming here to get great food and delicious drinks. The term "upscale" has changed so much for us all in the last few years. It's all in the details. The candles on the bar is such a nice touch, it takes a casual dining experience and elevates it to something so much more. Highly recommended for lunch, dinner, happy hour, pre or post dinner bar spot, date night, game day, large or small group Rosy's will deliver higher than your expectation. Their outdoor dining space streetery is beautiful with roses painted on the exterior. Their attention to detail shows that what they have to offer is not just a job or service, but a labor of love. The manager Keith made sure to come up to us (I noticed to other guests too) to ensure we were enjoying our experience. We made light conversation about recent sporting events and a great crowd Moral of the story: go to Rosy's and fall in love

This is a very nice looking place but my tacos were just really not good. Very wet and bland. Service was fine but I wouldn't recommend or revisit

I ordered through DoorDash. The food came in a sturdy environmentally friendly box. Taco salad with shrimp is really delicious with some thinly sliced tortilla strips to give a nice crunch. Fried plantains with a couple dollops of peanut butter is a nice dessert. Plantains are not burnt and not too mushy. Highly recommended

I've heard really great things about this place and finally tried it out. The food and drinks are great, however the tacos especially are pretty small in portion. Granted the "small nachos" would be small, but I was not expecting the tacos to be the same. We were sitting inside, so the ambiance was a bit chaotic. Outside seating would've probably been better. Music was super loud and I could barely hear what my friend was saying. Service was also not great here. Overall, the food was still good here. However, I would not pick this place to be my first choice for Mexican food.

I liked this place! Drinks (Paloma) and food (burrito bowl, chips and guac) were great! Staff was nice! Fun decor inside, including the cut-out of Dwayne Johnson.

Place has a fun vibe. Service is quite decent, and food is pretty spot on, and the right portions too!
