Rosita's Cocina — Restaurant in Newburyport

It’s almost impossible to find good Mexican food in the northeast. I found this place while walking around the tannery mall waiting for my daughter to finish a class. And I’m so happy to review that Rosa makes REAL authentic Mexican food! I haven’t had a good tamale in forever. I immediately placed an order for a couple dozen and came back the next day to pick them up. I was hoping to stash them in my freezer for the month, but my family descended upon the tamales and they’re almost all gone haha. Needless to say, I’ve been back and brought the whole family and a few friends for lunch.

You won’t regret eating here. You must get the chicken tamales. I also love the chicken quesadilla and the elote corn. My son’s favorite is the sopas with beef on top. And they have authentic street tacos too. You really can’t go wrong with anything you order. I didn’t even have time to take pictures of everything before everyone started eating! I do have one bit of advice. Try to arrive early for lunch to make sure you get a tamale before they sell out. They are popular and they run out of them quickly.

I’m so so happy I found this place. Rosa also offers cooking classes, so my daughter and I are looking forward to that. And by the way, she’s the nicest person. 5 stars...

I walked in on Sunday just before noon after a nice trip to Jabberwocky remembering that Rosita's just opened their storefront. I saw a post about them having Chilaquiles and I have been on a hunt for chilaquiles for so long. If you haven't, get your self to Rosita's asap. The Chilaquiles were all I could have wanted and MORE! They remind me of my favorite ones and it's nice to have my new favorite now right now the road. Also, I'll be back to try the empanadas and other menu offerings. The agua fresca was also delightful. The service was splendid and store was adorable. Go here and sit in or take out, the food...
