The brightly-colored building with the guitarist statue out front is a welcome sight for locals and hungry travelers alike. News of Rosita’s unique signature item has reached far and wide, and some diners come from miles around to try it.

That item is panchos. They’re freshly-made tortilla chips that are fried to give them their unique, pillowy shape. The crispy chips melt in your mouth and their texture makes these panchos addictive.

They’re delicious on their own, but for maximum enjoyment, try them with salsa, queso, or guacamole. Pro tip: once you bite off one of the corners, there’s a cavernous interior that holds a lot of whatever dip you’re enjoying.

You can order panchos with a variety of toppings; this one with beans, cheese, guac, and pickled jalapenos looks absolutely delicious.

True pancho fans go all-out and get theirs nacho style. Smothered in all of the best nacho toppings, the unique chips offer a texture that’s unlike anything else.

Of course, if you’re looking for more than panchos for dinner, Rosita’s doesn’t disappoint. Hard and soft tacos, chimichangas, burritos, tostadas, and all of your favorites are on the menu.

The drink menu is filled with equally delicious choices. Get a glass of the beloved horchata or choose from the various flavors of margaritas. There’s no way better to wash down a decadent meal at Rosita’s!
