I grew up listening to the music of Marty Robbins on my dad's 8 track tapes. Fast forward 30 years, and we stopped on a road trip through El Paso just so I could see the place Marty Robbins sung famous. We arrived at night only to find the place had closed. Thankfully Claudia saw us outside and opened back up so we could have a few beers, walk around and check out the ambience, and buy some swag. Claudia even played "El Paso" so we could drink and sing along. It was one of our favorite experiences on our trip, and we really felt what Texas hospitality was all about thanks to Claudia.
After coming to El Paso annually since 1985, I finally made the pilgrimage to the place named after the Marty Robbins song. I was not disappointed, the place has recently been remodeled, the beer is cold, the staff friendly, and the Rosa's Nachos fantastic. Glad I finally made it.
The food was good and the atmosphere fun. Walking through the parking lot, you almost could see the song play out in the dusty mountains that are the backdrop for the cantina.
One of the few places in town with local musical talent. Very casual and mostly locals and an occasional tourist that saw it in a guide review. Food is great and good prices. May not be the best place to go after dark because it is sort of out of the way but if you go accompanied it is great fun. Be aware that it is almost always packed but most people don't mind you sharing their table. A lot of Marty Robbins memorabilia on the walls and there is swag that is fun for sale. Friendly staff. One of my favorite places.
I wanted to visit this place due to the song and wasn't expecting much in terms of the food. Good thing, as it turns out. Both my, and the wife's, meals arrived only slightly above room temperature. The waitress came by, asking "How is everything?" I told her and to her credit, she took a meal off the tab we paid. The canned Tecate was, as always, excellent.
I love the place and how they remodeled it! The open ceilings without the ceiling tiles make the place look so much bigger. The decor is nicer and simpler, it seems. The stage for the bands is now in a much better place, in the Southwest corner of the place instead of the North Wall, opening up the floor a lot more. The food is really good. It was good before, but seems so much better now.The men's bathroom, which was previously disgusting at best, is now much bigger, with no more trough urinal next to the sink -- they have three separate urinals made out of old beer kegs, which is pretty cool. And now they have two toilet stalls instead of one next to the trough and sink, with doors and walls that you can no longer look over just by standing up next to it, giving people a bit more privacy.Yeah, the place is soooo much better now than before, and I really don't mind the drive from the east side now. Great job, Rosa's!
I've been here 3 years now and have always wanted to visit. I finally did today and I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner. The inside is spacious , clean and the waitstaff is absolutely amazing. I tried the cheeseburger and fries and wow!!! Probably one of the best burgers I have ever had. Same goes to the fries. They were crispy as fries should be. They never got soggy. They also have a little corner where merchandise is sold so I bought a shirt. Great experience and I will be back, that's for sure!!! If you're ever in El Paso, come to Rosa's and enjoy the vibe. Sign the guest book too and if you listen closely, you may hear a low playing gun ballad. ? "Music would play and Felina would whirl."?
An iconic place sitting on the banks of the Rio Grande River that is the home of the famous Marty Robbins song. Very nice layout of bar and tables. Food is out of this world spectacular. I had the beef with red chile sauce with flour tortillas. Chef is from El Paso and cooks food with a lot of love. Country music played throughout. Lone Star beer with food highly recommended. Excellent service..
We love this place . Always have a good time . We try to avoid on Wednesday evening . Bartender is very rude to us . Thank goodness she only works once a week . We love Felicia , Anna , Lorena & Rob . Owners are great also . Good people !
Fantastic menu. You wouldn't know that from the outside, but inside what a beautiful and comfortable dining experience. Food is just incredible. This place is a must try.
