Rosita's Tacos — Restaurant in Norfolk

I heard about this from a native California girl. Being that I’m also from California and knowing how delicious the Mexican food is there, I was very excited about this place.

Let me start by saying the service was good. The young lady who assisted me was very cordial.

Now onto the food, it was NOT good at all. I was very disappointed. I ordered something very simple, that is pretty hard to mess up. Three tacos, beans and rice - a staple Mexican meal. If you can’t get that right then I’m not going to try anything else!

They make their own tortillas, but they were thick and because they were overcooked, they became hard and broke when I folded it to eat the taco. The rice was actually not bad, probably the only good thing on my plate. The beans were bland. For the tacos I had 1 barbacoa, which was decent; 1 al pastor also decent; and 1 carne asada which was not good at all! In fact the carne asada (grilled) seemed more like guisada (sautéed with onions) and it tasted like it had been sitting there for days. They also loaded the tacos with raw onions almost to hide that there wasn’t much meat on them.

I also bought an horchata to go with my meal and that was pretty good…it tasted like they make it from scratch. I paid $19 for my meal and the drink. I though it was expensive considering they are a food truck.

They’re located in a pretty rough neighborhood, which I don’t mind as long as the food is good, but the food was not worth going into that area.

Needless to say I will not be back or recommend anyone...

What can I say? the food is amazing, and not destroy your wallet expensive. The people cooking and serving are absolutely the kindest. My father and I went there to pick up dinner one night, and, as my mother is dealing with cancer, we asked if there was anything vegan. The man cooking said no, and a few minutes later he came out with not 2 but 3 boxes of food. He had made my mother a vegan torta, on the house, loaded with tons of GOOD food. I really can't give this place a high enough rating. Absolutely recommend. Tl;Dr - Fast, very good, good portions, and very...

This is a wonderful surprise. We just moved.upntonthis area. We were getting gas at the Wawa across the street and finally noticed Rosita's. Got a bunch of tacos, a breakfast sandwich, and a quesadilla. Really good food. Tortillas were fresh and soft, the meat (Al pastor, carnitas, carne asada, and the ham steak on the sandwich) we're all fabulous. Great flavor. The cheese they use on the breakfast sandwich was salty and super tasty.

Great service and food. Can't wait to return and try some...
