El Rosal

Food was soooo bad that my grand-​daughter said that Taco Bell was better than this, and the waiter did not care what we thought she rolled her eyes at us. I will never go their again in my life…

Wow I guess I should have paid attention to the reviews. Substandard will not go back.

This place is a joke. If you go there just look around, the fans have a inch of dust on them, walls chipped everywhere, menu is literally changed by ink pen and sections are numbered by tapped construction paper on the wall. The food was nasty … Lesson learned Don’t go here unless you want a stomach ache

First off food was nasty! It took for ever to get a waitress to come see me 20 min before I got a beer then when I ordered food I got it like 5min later… so fast wtf was it already cooked ?? Nasty right!? So for me fuck ceres el rosal!

I had a vegetarian burrito, it didn’t say what was it but thought it was worth a try. I had it with green sauce and sour cream. Inside the burrito was rice, lettuce, guacamole, and some beans. Had to get rid of some of the lettuce because it was bad. I only ate half because it was so big. Brought the rest home. The guacamole inside was really good and tasteful. I think next time I’ll try something else. Wish the menu was more descriptive telling you what you get in your burrito and other items.

Went here yesterday and was very disappointed talk about bad service and unflavored food. One things for sure you won’t see me here ever again try finding me at LA Morenitas where they have the best food and service in Modesto.

Went here a few times but cannot seem to get better service. Food not as good as the one in Modesto. I would not recommend this one unless you plan on waiting a long time.

I have to say this place has gone way downhill for some reason. We are here now, and have to say worst experience ever. The server had no idea what wines they serve, when they only serve house chard, cab, and white zin (pointed out to me by my husband). She brought out Chardonnay and proceeded to tell me it was cab. Everything after that was worse. My husband ordered the carnitas, they were really dry. I ordered a Sonora burrito wet with sour cream on top, it came out completely wrong and absolutely disgusting. The server argued with me about it. The server brought my 4yr old out a hot plate with just a bean burrito and fries. Argues with me about exchanging the hot plate out for a cold plate FOR A CHILD. We have had better food and service Never again will we come here. We even talked with another family that had just a bad experience as us on our way out. Wish I could give them a negative rating!

Real bad
Everything
I used to love this place
Never come here again
The one in riverbank is awesome, maybe they should teach this one

The food is not good tasting, beans and rice sad. Food portions small. Sloppy Presentation. Would not recommend or return. Fast food with no imagination or flavor. They need chefs not cooks. Seems like canned everything.

I took my daughter and son here for what I thought would be comparable to other GOOD El Rosals. There was 4 tables ocupuied and 3 servers. We were not offered a drink till I flaged an employee down. We waited 10 more minutes while the woman who takes our order talked on the phone before finally coming over. Two of us ordered super burritos and my son ordered a kids grilled cheese. The burrito arrived almost too quickly and tasted horrid, like it was a microwave meal. The burrito had white rice that was not your typical spanish rice and green peppers and 10 small pieces of meat. It was so bad i didn’t even finish it. We were never offered refills or anything terrible food and service. I love authenic mexican food and this place clearly is not! :(

I went there saturday, it was awful. Service was okey, but the food was horrible. I had taquitos appetizer, the chicken was old, and I couldn’t even bite on those things, they were hard not to mention expensive. I’m not going in there ever again.

This place was horrible. Their waitresses were lazy and ignored us. Multiple servers, including ours walked by us and we had to flag them down to even get our waters refilled. Their food is expensive and it wasn’t anything special. Personally, I will not be back, nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone. They need to fix a lot of things, or they’re not going to last.

If I
Could give it zero stars I would
Worst experience. Ever at any eatery
I will never step foot into another
El rosal
That treat you like they don’t want you there
Beer is warm. No napkins had to ask. Them they bring you one. Minutes later
Food. Is it microwaved? Ugh

I’ve been to other El Rosal’s and was satisfied, but every time I go to the Ceres location, I’m let down. The server, Blanca, did not smile at us until she handed us the check. Even though it was slow, the food took a really long time to come out. The ambiance of the place is kind of boring and dull. I expect festive at least from a Mexican food restaurant. I could hear the game from the bar area over the music in the dining area. The way the bar is open is kind of awkward. I sat at a dinner table with my kids with a clear view of people drinking. It just wasn’t a pleasurable experience at all. At this point, it doesn’t even matter that the food wad decent, I won’t go back.

The food was horrible. Service, so-​so. We’ve been to every El Rosal in the area, Modesto and Riverbank, and they have great food. This location is the exception. Surprisingly, the manager didn’t have us pay for our food. We didn’t refuse to pay; she offered. From her and the waitress’s reactions I get the impression that they know how bad their food is.

The service here is horrible! There were only a few people their and they took forever… Never came to re fill our drinks! The el rosal on coffee rd is the best one around.

I agree with a few other reviews. Small portions and overpriced! The drinks really suck! Might depend on the bartender… But my main complaint is the service here, which is poor to say the least. My hubby and I waited for the hostess or anyone to welcome and seat us, but nothing happened and no one appeared. We sat ourselves and the bartender clearly saw us. We may have been the only couple sitting in the diner, while there were four or five folks in the bar. Seemed like it took a while for the waitress to finally acknowledge us and get the drink order. I ordered a margarita on the rocks and it came back tasting not too great. Thought I’d give it another try, but it just wasn’t palatable. When she came back to take our order I politely informed her of my dissatisfaction with the drink and she frowned, as if she didn’t want to disappoint the bartender. But she came back with another not bothering to apologize or remove the previous one. This one tasted even worse, like there was soda in it! Come on, really? I’m no expert on drinks, nor do I require a top-​shelf drink, but this was terrible. I set the drink aside and asked for a water because I simply could not drink those so-​called margaritas. She still never bothered to remove the bad drinks and our food took a hell of a long time to get out to us. She ended up charging for us for one of the drinks. Totally uncalled for! She never came back to the table or thanked us. Terrible to say, and not that we’d ever do it, but it was a situation that made me think of dining and dashing! Needless to say, we paid for the food, but not the drink nor did she receive a tip. We will not be back.

Horrible food and it really smelled horrible.

This place is horrible if it’s happy hour you desire forget it. This place is just depressing
