Carniceria Rosita

This place is great! It’s a typical carniceria– part grocery store, part meat market, they serve hot food and have a small pan dulce section. They cook whole marinated chickens in a huge barrel BBQ out front and the smell is amazing! I have bought fresh produce, groceries, pan and marinated meat here and it was all great. The service is awesome too, especially the girls who run the registers, they are always helpful and very friendly.
The absolute greatest part about this place is the hot food! They offer everything a typical taqueria does and more! My favorite thing is the chicharrones con chile! This is one of my favorite foods of all time and theirs does not disappoint! They use the chicharrones that they fry in house, that delicious pork skin with some of the meat still on it (we’re not talking pork rinds from a bag here people) They have both green chili chicharrones con chile and your classic red, the red is my favorite. Sometimes I order them on their own, sometimes I get them in a burrito. I just can’t get enough.
If chicharrones aren’t your thing, the rest of the hot food they offer is very good too. Try a carne asada Torta or one of the awesome chile rellenos. If you are a true fan of Mexican food you must give this place a try!

Having this place next to the gym is a blessing and a curse. After working out I can walk over to Rosita’s and throw away all my hard work by purchasing some pan dulce.
Most of their pan dulce is $ 0.45 each but some are $ 0.65 (usually ones with filling). Rosita’s has weekly sales and sometimes certain types of pan dulce are 3 for $ 1. They will conveniently post which pan dulce is on sale on their pastry display cases so you can’t miss it. To the right of their pan dulce section there are bins with fresh bread rolls — I recommend trying the bread with cheese inside… very good. Everything is always fresh and the prices are right. I don’t think you can go wrong.
Quick tip — there aren’t any trays for the pan dulce so grab a plastic produce bag or one of those brown boxes they keep right under the pastry display cases.

OK, so I’ve eaten at many places but this has to be by far the worst. This is more like a place where you go and buy Mexican food, they have Mexican baked goods, meats (uncooked) its a market and they also have an area like a deli.
The day I went in they had a special $ 4.99 for an entry drink and dessert so I though lets try it. I order a asada burrito and was patiently waiting for the cook to make it. Right next to the grill they were cooking the pork skin called Chicharron which is cooked in its own fat LARD! The cook preceded to take out the meat and before my eyes she grabbed LARD and poured it on top of what was suppose to be the meat for my burrito. I immediately canceled the order and explain to her what my problem was. I am sure their beans and food had the same fat! I don’t expect them to use extra virgin olive oil but come on LARD!
If you are looking to add some good old fat to your arteries this is the place to go!
