Little Rosie's Taqueria in Huntsville

I think I made a GREAT choice! I was stopping in on my way down to Birmingham and this is a surprisingly awesome little spot! Give them a try! It's similar to a Chipotle. Order off the menu and wait for your food to be ready (vibrating tickets) and get a margarita! They have those! Lol The rice is not overpowering like some Tex Mex places. The beans are a perfect consistency. Not too runny and everything did have flavor. I was happy they had some hot sauce available for spicing up the salsa. They have a decent little salsa bar.

I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a Rosie’s Mexican and it was fast food place that served quality food you would get at Rosie’s Mexican. Even got to have a beer. If you are looking for great food and fast here is the place. Even has a drive through.

Little Rosie’s is by far some of the best TexMex in Huntsville! It is essentially the fast casual version of Rosie’s which is one of my favorites. Everything on the menu is good but I highly recommend the beef fajita salad with the house dressing. You can’t go wrong with a side of queso blanco either. They have a salsa bar to fix your own salsa. One thing that Little Rosie’s has that Rosie’s does not is the cinnamon nachos and they are to die for! Definitely get an order of those, you will not be disappointed. If you’re looking for an alcoholic drink, the Mambo Taxi is the best! It’s a margarita with sangria mixed in. Order at the counter and you will receive your drink along with chips and a pager to pick up your order from the pickup window. Seat yourself as there’s plenty of tables and booths to choose from. There’s even a nice enclosed patio area. Little Rosie’s is allocated at the front of the Publix shopping center at the corner of Airport Rd and Whitesburg. It’s easiest to enter from Whitesburg to get into the parking lot.

The Little Rosie's Taqueria on Whitesburg had great food and service as usual. A group of 25 came in right before us, and we still made it through the line in less than 10 minutes. This is an order at the register and pick up your food at a window type restaurant. The Mexican lasagna plate was really good and came with a side salad and chips. The Fajitas plate was also tasty and also came with chips and a self-serve salsa station.

Little Rosie's Taqueria has that cozy hole-in-the-wall feel, with its brick exterior and large windows that bring a warm glow inside. The decor is much like its sister restaurant, Rosie’s, with brightly-colored flags strung from the ceiling and decor that gives it a vintage Tex-Mex vibe. As you enter, you’ll find yourself at the counter, where you place your order at the counter. My favorite part of the decor is, of course, the large ceramic frog perched serenely below the TV. We were also impressed by the prices. When looking for high-quality ingredients or great prices, we usually expect to sacrifice one for the other, but Little Rosie’s doesn’t skimp in either department. So, what did we eat? Tacos Plate I’m a big fan of tacos—chicken or beef, corn or flour, soft or crunchy, there’s no wrong choice! So, I kept it simple with the taco plate, served with beans and rice. Little Rosie’s doesn’t skimp on the quality anywhere here. The crunchy shells were crisp and still just a little warm, freshly assembled with crunchy lettuce, tomatoes, and quality ground beef. I poured a little of their red salsa on top of mine to add a little more of that fresh tomato taste, which added a little extra moisture without letting the shell crumble. As much as I enjoyed my tacos, though, the rice and beans definitely stole the show. Their refried beans have a wonderful meaty flavor to them, adding that much more protein to the dish. Little Rosie’s has some meat-free dishes, and for those looking for a little more protein, this side can add a lot to your plate. Fajitas My partner ordered the fajitas, which included a portion of meat, grilled peppers and onions, fresh tortillas, and some fresh vegetables. This was one of the freshest and more decadent plates we received. If you’re looking for a filling meal with a substantial plate, they have you covered. While the best fajita dish, in my humble opinion, is a mix of everything piled onto one over-stuffed tortilla, we sampled the chicken separately, along with the buttery sauce served with it. The chicken, grilled and packed with flavor, was a standout part of the dish. Of course, no fajita dish is complete without the vegetables. Red and green peppers mixed with onions finish out this dish with just enough seasoning to bring out those fresh, natural flavor. This veggie combination was also grilled just right, soft enough to cut with a fork and fill your tortilla to bursting with flavor. Little Rosie’s Salsa and Sides While not a separate meal, Little Rosie’s salsas deserve a moment in the spotlight just as much as their meals. We sampled their traditional red salsa and their salsa verde, and I admit, I did swipe my partner’s guacamole. The traditional red salsa was exactly what I look for in a good salsa: thick, chunky, scoopable, and full of flavor. No one component stands out, though hints of onion and cilantro ring through. This is a perfect medley, one that had me clearing out my personal basket of chips. The salsa verde is, in a word, tangy. I could find a few more words to describe it, but this lovely green dip is not quite as thick but every bit as tasty as the other. While it’s perfect for chips, I recommend drizzling this over your entree, specifically chicken dishes, to add a punchy, bright flavor. And for the guacamole lovers out there? Don’t skip out on this one. It’s creamy, fresh, and absolutely addictive. The salty chips bring out the richness of the avocado and will have you returning again and again for just one scoop (my “just one scoop” turned into “the whole guac cup,” though luckily, I was the only guacamole fan at the table).

Guys I was told multiple times by #huntsvillenatives that this place is a must try and omg…. Slobbering over this rn…. #whatsgoingon….. I got the chicken fajita taco and the chicken tortilla soup UGHHH THE CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP I’ll be dreaming ab her…… y si fuera ella by Alejandro Sanz pero “ella” is just ME and “it” is just a reflection on my past self bc I’ll be thinking ab how my past self got to eat then while I’m in the future. A sad future w/o little Rosie’s chicken tortilla soup…. Anyways….. super cutesie I love the ambiance! The colors and whatnot… sorry I can’t…. All I’m thinking ab is the chicken tortilla soup…..

Little Rosie’s is one of those neighborhood gems my kids visit when they are back home. Partly to have the food they remember from after school back in the day. But also to maybe bump into someone from way back then. We didn’t recognize anyone this time but the buffalo chicken wrap was great as always.

I am in here frequently for Door Dash deliveries. The staff is so nice, helpful, working hard, getting orders together in time so many days there is no waiting. Every time I have been here, the restaurant is full of diners and you see a stream of dashers coming and going with orders. Return customers is indicative of great food and outstanding service! Their food looks absolutely delicious!! I am going to try them this month since they are next on my list. I recommend them hands down, any day, any time. The store is clean throughout, and they keep up with the busy workflow making it looks easy. Their teamwork is flawless. Whether you eat at the restaurant or order delivery, you won't be disappointed.
