text: This hidden gem is a must stop for Mexican food especially if you live in the East Valley I have not been to Tia Rosas in about years and boy has it improved The trees have grown so much that we drove past it twice because we did not see the sign Tia Rosas has two options their front takeout restaurant and the main dining area It is just what you would expect when you walk into the Mexican style Hacienda a water fountain and great courtyard for eating outside The menu is diverse and there are several vegetarian options I went with the Spinach enchiladas served with roasted corn and black beans they were fantastic The table ordered carne asada a beef burrito and the fish tacos All raved about the food The only complaint that we had was the salsa was just okay it was not hot enough and their hot sauce was not very tasty We all wish we had a little more spice in our dishes but the overall consensus is still a solid If you decide to dine at Tia Rosas try to get a table in the back courtyard or the room to the right of it it will greatly improve the experience
