About the Business

Our first location was opened in 1981 in Teotihuacan, Mexico.
According to the legend, the most representative Mexican gastronomy dishes such as "Mole poblano and Chiles en Nogada" were created in the old Convent of Santa Rosa's kitchen in Puebla. Sor Andrea de la Asunción, nun of the convent ,was at the origin of these recipes. She had the innate talent to blending flavors and aromas.
Inspired by the most beautiful colonial cuisine of Mexico, with ancient and colonial recipes of Sor Andrea de la Asunción, David and Ita Reyes decided to continue the family tradition of more than 30 years by opening the Fonda Santa Rosa in Houston in 2006. Their conviction is reflected everyday in the richness and authenticity of the food you are enjoying today at Fonda Santa Rosa.
Our commitment is to keep the flavor, nutrition value, freshness and quality from traditional meals without changes.

Established in 2006.

Specialties

We serve traditional Mexican meals cooked using organic and Mexican ingredients and prepared following original recipes. We here at Fonda Santa Rosa invite you to taste not only TRUE authentic Mexican Food, but some of Mexico City's finest dishes. By honoring his family's recipes in everything from salsa to mole, David Reyes nurtures a passion for his native country's cuisine. The staff echoes this feeling in the care and attention they put into each dish. They marinate pork in a savory blend of achiote, orange, and garlic before slow-roasting it for their signature cochinita pibil. They fire-roast poblano peppers and grill tender beef for tampiqueña plates. And they spend hours on the mole sauce, which, in accordance with Reyes' grandmother's recipe, has 25 separate ingredients. Out in the dining room of the restaurant, guests sip fresh-fruit licuados and aguas frescas or indulge in BYOB amid walls of blue and yellow, and strings of colorful paper flags stretch across the ceiling. Mexican paintings, ceramics, and framed copies of Reyes family recipes speckle walls with a touch of history. You can start your day off with some delicious Chilaquiles or Molletes, get that afternoon energy with some great Chochinita Pibil, great enchiladas or Puntas Al Chipotle, and then end your day right with some heavenly seafood, a tampiqueña or our very own Molcajete Mixto!
