“ Saw Roosters on all kinds of dining lists for Mobile, so had to try it out. We were not disappointed! Went for dinner around 5 on a Saturday night and it was half full, no problem finding a table. Couple tables outside on a small patio, too. Staff were friendly, and food was ready in good time. Note that you cannot mix and match individual tacos for a taco plate if you want the deal! Ordered a Rooster Sunrise margarita, 2 chorizo tacos, 1 jerk chicken taco, 2 al pastor tacos, and sides of plantains and chips w/ queso. All were excellent. Loved that they jave a hot sauce and toppings bar to further customize, too. The plaintains on the chorizo tacos were inspired! ”
“ My coworkers and I were in town for a conference and this was our first dinner spot. We loved the lively atmosphere and our waitress was very sweet. The food was very reasonably priced and delicious: I had the spicy chicken, jerk chicken, and al pastor tacos. The chicken was a tad dry but the flavor was great! One of my coworkers is from Jamaica and he ordered one of the Jamaican dishes and said it tasted just like home! The pineapple passionfruit margarita was fantastic. The tres leches cake tasted nothing like tres leches but was still good. We overall enjoyed our meal, but the service was extremely slow. We did visit on a very busy night (Taco Tuesday!), but it took almost an hour and a half to get food for 4 people, which seemed a bit excessive, with no acknowledgement of the wait from our waitress ”
“ We like Roosters, it's a good for tacos but also has a variety of other tasty dishes. You can eat out on the front porch and watch all the people walk by or inside. Lots of different margarita options, a good beer menu, and desserts. Tres Leches cake is our favorite! Service was good, our lunch arrived quickly and our waiter was friendly. ”
“ I can’t say enough great things. They have shaded and sunny outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating too. The staff are so friendly! The food is top notch!! The surf and turf burrito is not to be missed. Their chorizo is so good. They serve Cammie’s Ice cream with their cobblers!! But those are delicious in their own too. Since my husband and I were sharing the burrito, they even cut it in half and served it on separate plates. Very rarely do places go that extra step for us. ”
“ They have the best Birria Tacos I have ever tasted in my life and that Rooster Sunrise drink was delicious and we had a Surf and Turf Burrito it was delicious as well that Jalapeno Slaw was Divine ”
“ We dined outside on a beautiful night. Cool spot to people watch. Our waitress was super personable and offered great menu guidance when we asked. We started with chips and the trifecta: queso, guacamole, and salsa. I’m not normally tortilla chip obsessive, but their chips are thicker than most and were very obviously fresh. The queso...so good that I’d have gladly chugged the bowl if I didn’t fear the scorn of my easily-embarrassed-by-mom 10-year-old. Our kids ordered from the kids menu. They were both pleased with their choices - chicken taco for one and cheese quesadilla for the other. The kids’ plates each came with their own chips and queso, as well. I opted for 2 street tacos - jerk chicken and al pastor. Our waitress said she gets an al pastor every day she works. After tasting it I saw why. The meat was ridiculously tender and flavorful. Probably one of the best Al pastors I’ve ever had. My husband got the torta de carnitas. Based on the speed with which he inhaled it, I’d say it was a big hit. We didn’t venture in to the salsa bar, as we were moving minimally after a long day at the beach. But apparently we missed out on quite a selection. ”
“ It's pricy but good. I had the blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich, teeny tiny order of guacamole, chips, and two 12 ounce Oyster City pale mango ales in cans. Service was reasonably good. My total bill was 46.46, including tip, which was steep in my opinion because I don't live in Mar-A-Lago. Regardless, I'll give them 5 stars because it was a tasty sandwich ”
“ We enjoy Roosters in the past and recently dined there during Mardi Gras. We were thoroughly impressed by how well the staff managed the overwhelming number of diners. Despite the chaos, they provided excellent service, delivering great food in a timely and personable manner. It's truly remarkable how they handled the busy atmosphere! As a bonus, we were pleasantly surprised when the manager and hostess remembered us when we returned the following week. This personal touch made our experience even more special. If you're looking for a lively dining spot with fantastic food and attentive service, Roosters is definitely the place to go! ”
