Stuck in a delicious rut: Rosie's fish tacos

Posted

When I visit a restaurant multiple times, I usually order something different each time because I love experimenting and trying new dishes. If there's a new special, sign me up.

However, there are exceptions.

I have been to Rosie's Grill in Daphne probably 10 times in two years, and I don't think I've ever ordered anything but their fish tacos. Every time, I think, “OK this time, I'm trying something else. Maybe the T-Bird sandwich everyone raves about, or maybe another type of taco…”

Nope. It never happens. I just love those fish tacos with my whole heart. If you've known me long enough, you've probably heard me talk about them.

I'm not sure if it's the nice hunk of blackened mahi-mahi on each taco, the tropical pineapple salsa or the incredible contrast of the sour cream and fire roasted salsa that I always pour on top, but I simply cannot let these tacos go.

I also love the atmosphere at Rosie's. Each time I go, I migrate to one of the secluded four-person booths in the back, where I can have great conversation as I enjoy my fish tacos. The service is always top-notch as well.

And while I've never ordered anything but those tacos, I always try a bite of my companions' food — I've never been disappointed. Maybe next time I'll branch out… but probably not.

FishTacos

These may look like ordinary tacos, but they are definitely not. Make sure to order them blackened for an extra 50 cents.

 

Club

For those who aren't fish taco fans, Rosie's offers a variety of sandwiches, entrees and salads. My friend who is a self-proclaimed picky eater ordered the Rosie's Club (minus the lettuce and tomato) and loved it. I enjoyed my bite as well, and I thought the presentation was fun.
