El Rosal Authentic Mexican - Visalia

--- I want to share my recent experiences as a regular customer at this restaurant, where I dine approximately every two weeks. While I do enjoy the food, I’ve found the portion sizes to be lacking. I typically order pozole soup on weekends and a one-item combo during the week. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the large pozole, especially considering the price for just two pieces of meat. Additionally, the quality of the one-item combo suffers when the plate is excessively microwaved, causing the rice to become hard and the beans to be overheated as well, which is evident when the dish arrives at your table. I've also noticed a decline in service; the waitstaff often seem disengaged. It frequently takes a long time to get a drink order, and by the time that’s ready, I’m already prepared to place my food order, so I don’t need to wait for the menu. The experience can vary significantly depending on who your server is—some are more attentive than others. I've been visiting the Noble location for years, and it feels outdated as nothing has been remodeled, although they did put in new flooring during COVID. With the Mooney location now closed, it would be great to see an updated look for the booths and tables. --- I hope this captures the essence of your review!

The food is fantastic and the service is friendly! We really enjoy their chips and salsa. The margaritas are crafted perfectly, making it difficult to stop at just one.

Consistently outstanding, with superb service and delicious food. Be sure to request the cabbage to go with the salsa. I enjoyed the combo platter featuring tacos, enchiladas, and a chile relleno. The prices were reasonable, and the drinks offered good value for the cost.

I've been coming to El Rosal since I was a child and it has changed for the worst! Food quality has gone bad with high prices since around 2018-2020. Service has gone down hill since then too! They use to have such amazing servers and good time management with just amazing customer service attitude. Now the servers barely do anything and when they do it's not even bare minimum that a customer deserves. Very disappointed and just sad how things are at El rosal. In 2024 it's hard to say but I will not be coming here anymore after 22 years of being their customer.

We stopped by here as a recommendation on our way out of York. Definitely 5 star customer service and the food was incredible.
