This small, family-owned Mexican restaurant in the Drake neighborhood is best known for its handmade tamales. Owner Rosa Martinez makes them fresh daily. Step into La Rosa and you will find yourself transported to a traditional restaurante in Mexico that serves delicious, authentic meals - no Tex Mex here. Try the handmade gorditas and sopas, too.
