• "Great service! I am honestly shocked the rating isn’t higher here!"

Cons:

• "Came here for the last time about a month or 2 ago and was disrespected by the bartender/waiter."

• "Horrible service and lack of professionalism."
• "Terrible service and employees for delivery and take out orders it’s like they don’t care at all."
• "Service was also not great! I won’t be returning."

Value

Pros:

• "Also, 3 tacos for $10 with the option to add a 4th for $3 is a solid deal."
• "I know some reviews on here complained about value.. 3 slightly smaller then normal Al Pastor tacos were $10, which I think is a fair price if you consider quality over quantity."
• "Nice little restaurant/bar near downtown Philly... at a surprisingly reasonable price if you come during happy hours."
• "Really affordable happy hour."
• "Happy hour specials are a real value."
• "Prices are very reasonable as well."
• "The happy hour menu was cool with $5 drink and entrees."

Cons:

• "3 shrimp tacos for $13.00. Not worth it."
• "It is $17 for a chicken quesadilla, and when it came out it was two very small chicken tacos."
• "The $30 brunch may be a good deal for the 3 drinks but otherwise the food is subpar and the menu full of inaccuracies."
• "I won’t be returning. Hopefully they get it together…also there were 20$ worth of JUST fees!"
• "Here’s the thing about Rosys: good vibes, and nachos are good. But, most people who actually enjoy the rich flavor of Mexican food won’t like this place for their entrees. Also I’ve seen other people complain about this- but seriously, the quesadilla is way too expensive to be baby sized."
• "The food itself is overpriced for what it is and taste is mediocre."
• "Feeling rushed we put in tacos and asked if there was pitchers of different flavors, the server (having already taken our menus) stated multiple flavors yet never stated the outrageous $8 upcharge that comes with a simple flavor."

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The decor is an uncommercial inspiration from Mexican craft with an obligatory dash of el dia de los muertos."
• "I love their margaritas - which are the perfect mix of tequila and lime juice without much of the nonsense."
• "Blood orange margaritas unmatched, get the Korean Beef tacos... my go to whenever someone wants Mexican."
• "Rosy's has embraced the difficulties COVID has posed and has jumped at every opportunity they had - takeout, delivery, to-go cocktails, and now outdoor dining."
• "Nice little restaurant/bar near downtown Philly... at a surprisingly reasonable price if you come during happy hours."
• "The atmosphere here was awesome!"
• "Rosy’s is a staple of mine for Mexican in Philadelphia. The atmosphere is good, the margs are fantastic, and the food is even better."

Cons:

• "We were seated so far away (literally outdoor seating at the last table, next to an alley)."
• "It is in the heart of center city. Crowded and just not really a good time."
• "The worst part was the awful loud music that they refused to turn down."
• "You are causing problems for those of us who live at the Roosevelt Building."
• "Awful, margaritas tasted like cheap mix, no alcohol and super sweet."
• "Music is obnoxiously loud you have to move in close to hear/talk to the waiter."
• "Total chaos, the music way too loud, it's supposed to be a restaurant not a club."
