Best Breakfast Burrito in San Jose and a damn good Warm Asian Chicken Caesar Salad! This place is, by far, the best breakfast burrito in San Jose. The size is right, filling up most patrons. The price is right, costing about $7. The condiments are right, offering a standard red salsa along with the local favorite orange sauce. The ingredients are easy, with a combination of home fries, american cheese, your choice of meat (its chorizo, right?) and eggs, wrapped in a warm tortilla and then pressed crispy in a plancha. Oh, and that orange sauce. Ooooh that orange sauce. Its fresh, its light, its not sour like some, but its got a hell of a kick if you want it. Its in my top three versions of San Joses special sauce, and extra is always brought home for the occasional tamale. Thats not to say the rest of the menu is terrible. Au contraire, the Warm Asian Chicken Caesar Salad is a delightful combination of warm teriyaki-esque chicken on top of a zesty cool caesar salad. It seems weird at first, but the flavors match perfectly and it provides a filling meal for even a guy of my large size!

Terrible customer service, this was my first time here and I have no idea why this eatery is rated highly. The food is mediocre, long wait, and woman at the counter has an awful attitude right off the bat. I watched her be the same way with numerous customers, unprovoked. I ordered the quiche which was pulled out of the cooler and then microwaved for far too long after they forgot about my order. It had a rubber texture and tasted like grease, worst quiche Ive ever put in my mouth. I instead shared a friends meal. Their burrito was at least made in the spot but was poorly compiled. The wrapping paper was carelessly wrapped up into the middle of the burrito. Astonishingly undeserving of your money.

I go to Rosalenas frequently and always get the same sandwich, unless Im there for breakfast. Its delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. Sandwich, side salad and water for lunch is just right to avoid good coma, keep the bank I check, and get out off the office. ... Call your order in if youre going during peak hours.

Come her and have a bite of the best breakfast burrito in San Jose seasoned with the coldness attitude of the super beautiful staff here. I always bring my guests from that visit from Mexico to have a great star before hitting the Wineries in Napa. Dont waste your time get the Bacon Burrito, you wont regret it.

You have got to try their salads and their breakfast burritos. Every one of their signature salads is fantastic - fresh greens, delicious goodies and dressings. Please make sure to try the orange sauce with your burrito. Out of this world. Only 4 stars because they quit making their chocolate chip bread.

an amazing cafe. Not only is the staff welcoming and efficient, but the food is spectacular. The cafe is clean, organized, and comfortable at the same time. There is constantly a line out the door, so I would order over the phone to get your order ahead of time, but eating at the cafe is always a treat.

Best breakfast burritos. Get the orange sauce. Prepare to wait during busy times. Their estimates for wait times can be wildly inaccurate. They told me 35 minutes but I ended up waiting 50. No breakfast burrito, no matter how good, is worth a 50 minute wait! But definitely go earlier in the morning.

The breakfast burritos were amazingly delicious, definitely worth the price. I think it was $6. I went on a Sunday morning, so there were college students there after a long night of partying, so I had to wait about 20 min for two burritos. Still good and I would say worth it.

Although the price is a little high, around 10 per person for a lunch, the portions were large enough that one could easily share a lunch and be satisfied. The food was fantastic and quick enough for a lunch spot. Looking forward to going back and trying other things.

Having tried their Breakfast burrito, which they claim is San Joses. Absolute best. Along with a choice of orange or red salsa, I was very impressed and enjoyed it, the cafe staff were really warm and welcoming. I will be eating from their menu again very soon.

I have to resist coming here every week for a breakfast burrito -- healthy theyre not, but they are delicious. I think Id call the chorizo breakfast burrito my favorite, but the bacon ones pretty great too. Definitely make sure to add their orange sauce.

Their burritos where not something to write home about. Someone told me they were Gods Gift to San Jose. They are just okay. Not terrible. They are super busy and told us the wait for a burrito was 15 mins. It was more like 25 to 30 mins.

By far the best breakfast burrito I have ever had. The burrito is well mixed and well filled with your meat/s of choice. What puts it over the top is their orange sauce. The orange sauce is a perfect complement to the burrito.

The breakfast burritos here are absolutely phenomenal. They have a veggie Florentine that is spot on, right balance of cheese and eggs and veggies. Overall one of my favorite breakfast burrito places in the bay area.

I always get the breakfast burrito with their orange salsa. The burrito is made fresh and the salsa is to die for! I used to eat it more regularly when I lived/work in the area but since I moved further....I miss it!

Very good breakfast burritos, my only (minor) complaint is that they use American cheese, but they make their own salsa which is pretty solid. Call ahead because they take like 15-20min to cook once you order.

They had the best Chorizo Ive had outside of Arizona. Actually better than mostchorizo Ive even had out there. And their lemon poppy bread is so moist and phenomenal. Will absolutely be back.

This place has the greatest salads, soup and sandwiches. The chinese asian chicken salad rocks! Everyone is so nice. This place is usually crowded so its a good idea to call in your order.

Ive been to Rosalenas on quite a few occasions since moving to the neighborhood five years ago. Im happy to report that the burritos have gotten better, and I am now a fan of their salads.

The sandwiches are AMAZING!!! My husband loved his burrito. Theyre always very busy (which says a lot), so its not exactly the place to go if youre in a hurry lol but its TOTALLY worth it!

Chorizo breakfast burrito is delish. Great value. Fruit cups are amazing too. The people who work here are all fantastic. Overall, great atmosphere. It can get busy though.

Breakfast Burritos are great. Chorizo with orange sauce is my favorite. Small wait since they make it to order, can call ahead to place an order to save time.

Make it a breakfast burrito. Huge and delicious. The veggie one has avocado by default so welcome to California. I filled my mug with coffee too. Getcha some.
