Rosa's Kitchen & Catering - Asbury Park, New Jersey

I wanna start this off by saying read the whole review.
I ordered on DoorDash and received half my order and a plate of plantains(just plantain) I called and explained what happen and the staff on the phone was extremely apologetic and helpful (10/10 in my books).not only did they help me get my right order but they gave me extra food (free).customer service is definitely top tier.
Now the food….the chicken empanadas were so good I ate them before taking a picture(they were so juicy and full of flavor).
The fritter thingy was also good a little dry but with that sauce it was really good
The pork and rice were good nothing special but good I would definitely recommend

Rosa's Kitchen & Catering supplied the food for my Student Art Show and Holiday Open House. We had beef and chicken empanadas. We also had fried chicken and pulled pork sliders. Rosa's food was delivered warm and delicious. I had at least 100 guests and everyone commented on the flavor a quality of the food. Her style is savory and cooked with love. I highly recommend.

After placing an order through Grubhub the first time I decided that I would order a second time before placing a review.
THE FOOD BOTH TIMES WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FRESH, & DELICIOUS!
Fair pricing, multiple delivery/payment options , great Spanish food choices (authentic to add), and good portions.
Definitely would recommend this place if you are in the Spanish food craving!

Just an update guys> I have ordered here throughout the past year & some months, I still stand with my original review. A short few months after my initial review I had an a small request about the amount of olives in their pasteles & I'm so happy to report that they actually do listen to their customers! If I had to critique 1 thing (literally only other thing besides the olives) is that the chicken, whole chicken quarter more specifically, needs to be worked on as it was dry & not that great. I have tried almost all food items they have on their menu & that is literally the only item I can say anything negative about! Overall their food is amazing & delicious! Some of the employees could use some smiles on their faces but we are all human at the end of the day :). Kudos to the owner & keep up the great work <3! Also just to add, their pricing has been & still remains fair! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rosa kitchen is a true gem had to come here after seeing Jennifer (@foodholicnj) review. The garlic shrimp plantation cups were to die for Soo good and nice and crispy. I also tried the seafood fries with their homemade seafood sauce. And it was enough to be a whole meal. Their portions are very generous. My friend also agrees with the portions she had the beef sancocho with rice and was full and happy. The ropa vieja and pernil platter the meat is so tender and flavorful. The garlic mofango with pernil is good but had a little too much garlic for me. The empanadas are delicious I've never had a chicken pot pie empanada before but it was nice and flavorful. It disappeared in a matter of seconds. I also never had a garlic shrimp empanada before. I wasn't sure if we would be good or not because shrimp in an empanada is not something I usually have something that could go either way good or bad. But I had hope since I've never had anything bad from here. And it was very delicious. Can't wait for the next time I get to try that. The beef empanadas are good but the real star of the empanadas are the chicken ones lots of time chicken can be super flavorful and dry or just plan old dry but not the ones from here. They are super flavorful and soft and everything you want it to be.The tostones we're a little bit to crunchy and hard for my liking. But the fried pork skin was absolutely delicious. Before being here I never had a tropi cola I've had champagne from goya in the bottles but this is also really good and sweet. If you ever in the stores and see it get it it's a MUST try The desserts are delicious and generous slices as well the tres leches, coquito cake and flan de queso all delicious and big and have a lot of liquid to enjoy with the cakes. The owner Rosa is very nice sad that they are closing these very doors after today but I know and I look forward to see what other adventures she starts.

Delicious Puerto Rican food! Not sure about the couple of bad reviews food is not salty and the food is authentic Puerto Rican food. The pernil is so delicious, empanadas, arroz con gandules, Alcapurria, arroz con dulce and so much more. Highly recommend. People are just haters 🤣😋
