The popularity of this restaurant says it all. Charming indoor and outdoor settings in authentic Mexican decor. Food is a step up from the usual Mexican fare. Very interesting dishes and drinks are awesome. We eat here every time we are in Arizona.

The menu is extensive with many unusual Mexican dishes. I had the Chicken Mole Sauce. Large portions, very tasty and hot when delivered. We chose to sit outside on the porch, a big mistake! Fly season must have been at the peak. We had to cover our dishes, the waitress never offered to move us inside. We finished what we... More

We love Mexican food and this was one of the best Mexican meals ever. When you walk in you are embraced by a Mexican ambience like no other. The service, cleanliness and food were excellent. If you like Mexican food, don't miss the chance to eat here.

Rancho do Tia Rosa is the place I take all my out of town guests. The food is very good. I suggest the fish tacos with a top shelf margarita. The atmosphere is one of the best anywhere. I have been there over 8 different times and have never been disappointed!

I come here whenever I get to Phoenix. Tia Rosa has the best margaritas and most authentic Mexican food that I know of. I had the shredded beef chimichanga on my last visit, and could not finish it! I've also had beef tacos, chicken enchiladas, and seafood tacos - all great.

Love this place! My husband and I even got married in their beautiful yard they have in the back...complete with private patio! Wonderful food and great atmosphere...no other place like it in AZ. We love this place and is a favorite destination for special occasions. Be sure to leave room for their delicious fried ice cream!

What a feast for the eyes and palate. Beautiful courtyards, sit in one of the courtyards for dinner. Food is great and I could not contain my Canon Camera with the many beautiful photographs of this very unique, romantic Mexican Restaurant. LOVED the beef fajatas simmered for 10 hrs. Others in our party of five had the chicken burritos and... More

the food was great. Prices reasonable for the quality. The chips are so thin and so good with two kinds of salsa. we tried a low carb selection and it was great. The only negative is a part of their success. Hard to find parking.

This restaurant has the best chips and salsa, along with great lunch deals in the taqueria out front! I literally crave this place and often beg my co-workers to eat here at least once a month! I haven't found another salmon taco with mango salsa that even compares to Tia's, in the valley. The flying saucer is also amazing, along... More
