"**First Impressions:** The place has a dive-like vibe—nothing fancy, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. **Menu:** There’s a wide variety of options, and the menu is clearly displayed on the wall, making it easy to read. **Meal:** My wife and I ordered the King Burrito, which is the largest option they have. She opted for the Bacon Burrito without any sides, and she found it delicious, akin to a BLT but even better. It was a lighter meal, though, so if you're really hungry, you might want to consider ordering more. She managed to finish it all. I went for the Steak Burrito with fresh jalapeños, also without sides. It wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it was still very good. I particularly enjoyed the crispness of the tortilla and the balanced fillings that provided consistent flavor throughout. The portion size was more akin to small or medium, so if you're feeling quite hungry, it might be a good idea to order some appetizers or sides. **Prices:** Fairly priced for the quality and quantity you receive. **Overall:** I would recommend giving this place a try. While it’s not my favorite spot, I’d definitely consider returning if I’m in the area—perhaps to sample the Bacon Burrito next time."

So damn good. Better then the Mexican food in Arizona. Hopefully this place never ever goes out of business.

The food was excellent. The steak was well-seasoned. They truly live up to their name; the service is both fast and friendly.

This was my first visit to the restaurant. The tacos were excellent, especially the al pastor. The toppings included salad and tomato, but I was surprised by what seemed to be the American version. Next time, I’ll likely ask for cilantro and perhaps some additional toppings.

The food is consistently hot and fresh, and the service is both delicious and friendly. I ordered takeout for dinner, and the price per person was between $10 and $20. I would rate the food a perfect 5, the service also a 5, and the atmosphere a solid 4. I highly recommend the Taco Dinner, Steak, Taco Plate, and Quesadilla Dinner. View menu

The experience was good, almost great! However, when I inquired about a cheese sauce for the chimichanga, the staff member didn’t seem to understand my questions and kept mentioning an extra charge. I was fine with paying for just one to see if they had that specific sauce. After asking three times, he finally said that they don’t have it at all. I understand that many people might expect everything for free these days. Overall, I still plan to keep coming back and trying new menu items.

We absolutely love this place! We’ve never dined in since the front dining area is small and quite generic. Instead, it’s always been our go-to spot for takeout, and it seems like there are always customers waiting inside after placing their orders, so they're clearly doing well. We usually order the enchiladas and burritos, and they have consistently been excellent. Their hot salsa is fantastic, too. The service has always been courteous and quick. We often make a point to stop by whenever we're passing through. Yum!

"I was so very surprised to find an Italian restaurant to be this good in this area! Being Italian myself it's rare for me to really enjoy eating at Italian restaurants because of growing up eating authentic Italian family recipes. Most places are okay at best but Cucina Rosa is so very good in everything they do. From the moment we walked in and could see the chef working in the kitchen preparing dishes for the guest with an aroma that was inviting. We were immediately greated and felt more like we were in a friend's home. After we were seated we ordered muscles, shrimp and bruschetta. All prepared to perfection! We then ordered manicotti stuffed with ricotta and spinach, lobster ravioli and chicken parmesan. So delicious and the presentation of each dish was top notch! The sauces were so smooth and bursting with flavor, the texture of the pasta was perfect. The chicken parmesan is huge! If you have a large appetite it will fill you otherwise you'll be bringing some home for a second meal! The service was professional, friendly and courteous. Anything we asked for was taken care of. They have a bar for cocktails and other beverages. They create the cocktails with care as they don't just throw them together in a glass but carefully blend them together and again with a perfect presentation. Lastly, desert. Cream brulee that truly was the very best I have ever had anywhere. I've been to Rome, Florence, Venice, cruised on several ships with international chefs and been to several countries. The cream brulee at Cucina Rosa is the best I have ever had! This restaurant is as good as any of the best restaurants I've visited in Italy. I would rate Cucina Rosa 10 stars if it were possible because of the superb food with excellent presentations, the friendly and courteous staff that made us feel right at home, the chef and the wonderful family recipes used for the dishes, and the atmosphere. It's a winning combination in a convenient location. Needless to say we will return to try other dishes and it will be cream brulee again for this returning guest!"
