    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.
