When you enter Rosa's Cafe, you may almost be blinded by the gleaming bright colors that seem to bounce off the walls and create an exquisite mosaic.
The floors are a combination of a deep brown and red. The walls, however, contrast the floors and are a bright yellow.
The walls have colorful ceramics and paintings on them. One wall has a collection of clay suns, which are spaced just so that they take up the whole wall.
In the center of the cafe, there is a small section of multiple booths linked together. Above them are colorful ceramic parrots that hang on a metal hanger, which is attached to the wooden border, which outlines the section of booths.
At night, from outside, the light from inside shines brightly and can be seen far before you even reach the cafe. The exterior of the cafe is also colorful. There is a combination of yellows, pinks, greens and oranges to create a festive looking building. When the weather is nice enough, people can enjoy their meals outside in a gated off area, which is attached to the main building of the cafe.
Taco Tuesday is the prime specials night for the cafe. Students and families come for the special three taco deal that you can only get on Tuesdays.
If you go between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., you will find hoards of people, on a mission to find the last table available. You can find students trying to fit six people into the obvious four-person booths.
If you listen close enough, you can hear all sorts of conversations. Because it's a Mexican-based restaurant, it's not uncommon to hear tidbits of Spanish.
Multiple flat screen TVs are on the walls of the cafe, which show the order numbers that signify which orders are ready for pick-up. Looking into the kitchen, you can see all the workers are hustling and bustling about. It's almost like a mad house. But the work pays off. Almost every order is ready within five minutes, even during the busy hours.
