Camarones A la Diabla, Carne Asada and Chile Verde are among Taqueria Santa Rosa’s standout dishes that separate it from other local taquerias. The flavors are simply superb!
Review
The Doordash takeout delivery arrives very quickly and piping hot; the tortillas are still finger-scaldingly hot (that’s a good thing). The Camarones A la Diabla is up to par with the establishment’s regular, in-house service—spicy hot, loaded with onions and 10 prawns, an absolute feast for the taste buds. The rice and beans are tasty, and best of all, the meal is served in a multi-compartment foil container with corn tortillas wrapped in foil on the side. The sides of guac and sour cream are generous. But while the guacamole is tasty, it is also VERY spicy.
This is a pricey meal, as the Camarones A la Diabla costs $19.99. However, the rest of the menu is significantly less expensive, most entrees being in the $10-to-$15 range. Give this tried-and-true local gem a try if you haven’t already.
