We love how the manager,Ryan, is so friendly and accommodating and checks in on all the guests. The bathrooms are super clean. Drinks from the bar are excellent too. Never a bad meal or bad experience at the American Hotel!

    Good Tex-Mex cuisine. We've been dining at Rosalita's since it opened decades ago. The food is tasty, the prices are reasonable, and the wait staff is friendly. The cocktails are tasty and very reasonably priced. My favorite is the Spicy Blood Orange Margarita. I had the Carne Asado and my wife had the Chicken Fajitas. Both were perfectly cooked and delicious.

    We were a table of 8. The food and service overall were great. We ordered their bar pie to share as an appetizer. However, since the bar pie takes so long to cook, we should not have ordered our dinners till after the bar pie came out. We ended up eating the bar pie and our dinners at the same time.
