Loved El Secreto de Rosita! — The food was outstanding; exceptionally excellent. — The atmosphere was sophisticated, cultured, but also fun. — The decor is great and the seats are comfortable, all in all makes one not want to leave. — Our waiters could have been a little bit more patient and poised, but still the service was a solid A. — I am excited to go back to El Secreto de Rosita!

Food was good not great, service was very good, but it was very noisy in the indoor part of the restaurant. And there was also music playing which made it hard to hear other people at our own table of 4. If you wear hearing aids communication would be close to a lost cause.
