Rosita's Mexican Grill

Came here at the recommendation of a co-worker "Best happy hour in town", they said. We felt confusion, both within our party and from the staff at the restaurant. From the greeter who knew they *could* seat our smallish party but couldn't quite figure out *where* (after an unprofessional semi-argument with another staff person) to the person who brought chips and salsa and couldn't speak to the spice level of either bowl of salsa ('they make it different every day'), it seemed like everyone struggled with a major aspect of their job, there seemed to be an unseen chaotic force at play. Immune from the cloud of chaos was the person making tortillas from scratch, those tortillas were very good. The server asked us maybe four times in the first three minutes of sitting at the table if we were ready to order (obviously not, I would have thought given our rustling with the menus) and then did not disclose that EVERY item on the menu had onions in it when one of our party members asked if their item had onions. We asked about happy hour deals - "No, happy hour is at the bar only!", how do we know that? Where was the warmth, the welcome, the introduction to the experience? Food was fine, decent portions, though cold by the time we finished it. "Too much cheese" someone said about the Chile Relleno, and I saw a big old pile of onions set aside on another party members plate. Everything felt very matter-of-fact, from the mechanical check-ins to the delivery of the food (they awkwardly pulled the plate away from me when I reached for it rather than saying 'don't touch, it's hot'). Other tables seemed to be facing the same service. I would not recommend this for either small or medium sized groups. If you are looking to take a chance, skip the restaurant, but come in for the happy hour, which is at the BAR ONLY.

What a gem! We ventured here one night for a late dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the late night happy hour (even on a Friday!). Our food was delicious, and my margarita was perfect. Our bill didn’t break the bank (always a huge plus!) and we left very, very full, even after just eating chips/salsa and appetizers. We’ve had such a hard time finding a solid Mexican place in Seattle, and we are thrilled to have found Rosita’s!
