02/19/05: Growing up in
the north has always influenced my taste in food. My favorite food had
always been Italian until I moved to the South. Moving to the south
changed my taste in food, and Mexican is my new favorite. My entire family
loves Mexican food, so we go out to eat at a Mexican restaurant called Little
Rosie's Taqueria at least twice a week. It is located on Whitesburg Drive
in the Publix shopping center. It is a fairly new restaurant in Huntsville
Alabama. I love this restaurant mostly for the Spanish atmosphere, fast
and friendly service, and great Mexican food.
As people enter the parking lot of Little Rosie's Taqueria
they get the feeling of a small, well advertised Mexican town. The
building has a ramshackle, fiesta look to it. The Spanish music puts me in
to the mood for Mexican food every time I enter for breakfast, lunch, or
dinner. The bold paintings, tiled walls, and rustic appliances really set
the stage for a great Mexican meal. The restaurant has a few Spanish
workers who go around cleaning and refilling the salsa bowls and ice
machine. You can hear the upbeat and distinctive Spanish music playing in
the background while feasting on beef and chicken enchiladas. There are
two small water fountains with beautiful turquoise borders to accent the
sparkling water dropping out of rundown looking pipes. The windows appear
to look old, but they are stunning due to the array of different colors.
The red, green, blue, orange, and purple window panes remind me of stained glass
windows in a beautiful church. On warm days they push open the windows,
and the low hanging ceilings fans give a nice flowing breeze in to the patio
area. Large brown scripted bowls with beautifully carved tomatoes, green
peppers, and avocadoes sit on the countertops dividing the tropical
plants. The Christmas lights strung inside and out of the building attract
the ceiling and its Spanish signs, and they are truly exciting for small
children to gaze upon. The Spanish atmosphere really gets my taste buds
ready for a fantastic Mexican meal.
The first time my family and I went to Little Rosie's Taqueria
it was extremely crowded. Although the line to order was backed up out
through the wooden doors, out to the small parking lot, my family and I was able
to order because of the quick and efficient service. As customers order,
the cashiers get chips and white or yellow queso (cheese dip) to put on a tray
for drinks, a receipt, and a buzzer, which allows them to know when to pick up
his or her food at the pick-up counter. The red light-up buzzer enables
the cooks to prepare the food quickly and the consumer can pick his or her order
up along with a few cups of spicy salsa in an organized fashion. Ice,
drinks, salsa, napkins, and plastic silverware are able to be picked up by the
customer whenever needed. The well organized, immediate service deserves a
great deal of gratitude.
How should I even begin to talk about Little Rosie's
renowned food?! For starters, the breakfast, lunch, and dinner are
desirable. For breakfast, the menu describes many combinations of burritos
such as the mouth watering sausage or bacon, egg, and cheese special.
During the crowded hours of lunch and dinner the menu calls for something more
traditional for example: the steaming fajitas, bean and cheese burritos, melted
cheese enchiladas, and chicken quesadillas. The choice of beans and rice
on the side complete the meal. After talking about all this Mexican food,
my taste buds are screaming out for a bite of a chicken fajita wrap.
I position the
atmosphere, service, and food at Little Rosie's at the top of my list. The
Mexican theme sincerely sets the stage for a Mexican feast. A restaurant
is not a restaurant without great service and Little Rosie's has that down
pat. The food is certainly, by far, the best Mexican food I have ever
tasted than at any other Mexican restaurant. Everyone should get the
chance to indulge themselves to Little Rosie's Taqueria
