About This Spot

Stepping into Rosita’s on Washington Avenue feels like being welcomed into a cherished neighborhood haven where the rhythms of Ocean Springs slow down just enough to savor genuine connection. The air hums with the warmth of fresh ingredients and kind greetings, a space where local flavor isn’t just about taste but about the people and stories that bring each dish to life.

There’s a comfortable ease here—unhurried, familiar, yet lively enough to feel the heart of a community gathering place. It’s a spot where conversations flow naturally, where the welcoming spirit of Rosita herself and her team colors each visit with quiet generosity. You’ll notice the thoughtful care in every detail, from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the aromatic promise of birria simmering nearby, each plate carrying a little piece of tradition infused with a fresh perspective.

The menu unfolds like a personal invitation, offering dishes that shift with the day’s inspiration—whether it’s the richness of a horned chile-infused broth or the crisp bite of freshly made tortillas. This is soulful food, prepared with attention and pride, served alongside humble camaraderie that makes you feel less like a customer and more like a friend coming home.

Rosita’s is more than a taco spot; it’s a place where flavors forge connections and simple moments—like sharing a meal over handcrafted birria ramen or enjoying the subtle sweetness of horchata—become quietly memorable. It’s exactly the kind of local gem that invites you to pause, taste, and linger just a little longer.

First time eating here and I have found a new favorite! Rosita herself was very nice and welcoming and even shared her authentic food preparation. As an heirloom/exotic chile grower myself who works in Cali, we were able to have a pretty cool conversation. Food was stellar and am fortunate to have this place in Ocean Springs, MS.

I can go on and on about Rositaaa! The food is absolutely amazing and always so fresh! If you have not already, I highly recommend for everyone to try this place out. I mean the food is top tier, and as of right now I cannot get enough of her Barria ramen with the egg rolls. Please do yourself a favor and try out Rosita’s.

This is the cutest place, the lady that took my order had the best personality and attitude. The food was 1000000/10. Absolutely amazing. No complaints, literally only good things to say. We will be back. So nice to have quality food on the coast. We came from Gulfport and would make the drive every time. I have a feeling they will be seeing a lot of us.

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food then this locally owned restaurant is the place for you. I was visiting MS from AL for work and goggled restaurants in the area. Asked a couple of my coworkers which restaurant I should try for what I was looking for and they recommended this place. When I arrived I spoke with a nice gentleman who recommended the birraquesadilla and street tacos;Which I got both (1of each taco on the menu). I also got the watermelon and cucumber lime drink which were freshly made. The food was a 10/10 and now I will be a forever customer whenever I’m in town.
