We live in Monument, Colorado and the nearby small town of Palmer Lake has several small eclectic restaurants that we occasionally try. What a pleasant surprise when we went to La Rosa for a Sunday brunch. We learned from Marina, the proprietor, that they had been in business there for 6 years and we were just going there for the first time! It was by far the best Southwestern ( think Albuquerque or Santa Fe ) food we have had anywhere. Marina was very welcoming, friendly, unhurried and helpful as was our waitress. They started us with a newcomer tasting of four wonderful homemade sauces and chips. The Dos XXâs were super cold. Cloth napkins, nice and simple decor. I had possibly the best Pazole soup Iâve ever had just loaded with pork and hominy. ( my favorite ). My wife had great tacos with lots of trimmings, great chunky guacamole, whole pintos, terrific pan fried potatoes with onion, and sweet peppers. I had to help her finish! We agreed it was the very best Sunday brunch in memory. The bill was a pleasant surprise as well. Older building in need of some exterior improvement, but a perfect example of âDonât judge a book by itâs coverâ. We canât wait to go back with friends!Thank you so much for a wonderful review. We love making our food and service something that is memorable. It is such a joy for us to make your dining experience a good one. Thanks again!

Service is excellent, especially outside during spring, summer and fall. We love the chimichangas, blue corn onion and cheese enchiladas, and of course the chips and salsa. Margaritas need improvement.... Otherwise, a great place to eat and enjoy old Monument!

Hadn't been back in awhile. New Management, was a little worried, but have some of our favorite familiar faces... New staff nice as well. Bar tender made some delicious drinks. Salsa was homemade and amazing. Green Chile was the best I've had in the Springs or Monument. Definitely a step up, and we actually liked the old management, too.

My hubby and I went on Friday evening about 5:45p, they were not busy. We were seated as the first people in a new opened section. Took the waitress forever to take our drink order. We ordered the 2 for $22. This has been great at other Chili's, not this Chili's. Besides slow service, we received our orders very cool to the touch. They asked me to cut into my steak to see if I approved. I thought it was too 'red'. The server said she would be back with a plate and they could make it a little more 'pink'. After waiting for her to after 7 mins, I ate the steak. The loaded mashed potatoes and green beans were cold. My husbands honey chipotle chicken tenders were smothered in sauce and cold. Never saw the server until the bill. We won't go back to this Chili's again.
