text: My wife and I were only in Phoenix for a night and figured we would try some Mexican food seeing as we had never been in the Southwest before Our st restaurant down the street never got around to serving us so we came to Rosalitas figuring it might have authentic Mexican cuisinennIt was brutalnnThe service was atrocious as one poor guy was working both the bar and the lounge area which had about tables full He was pleasant but completely overwhelmednnThe food itself tasted as if it had been left out all day and simply reheated The chips were stale and the salsa tasted suspiciously like the crappy Ortega stuff you buy in the supermarket My shrimp dish was so disastrous that I only ate half of it because I was afraid it might make me sick The shrimp were overcooked to the point of turning into rubber and the sauce was nauseating The rice was overcooked and dry and the green salad of lettuce and carrots was steamed This was without a doubt the worst mexican I have ever eaten in my lifennMy wife thought her tacos were bland but much more edible than my shrimp even though the cheese was not authentic or tasty at all
