Rosita's Cocina
🌸 ABOUT US
Crack the secret to authentic Mexican flavors at Rosita’s Cocina — where every dish tells a story of passion, family, and resilience.
Rosita’s Cocina began humbly under a small tent at the Newburyport Farmers Market, serving handmade tamales, empanadas, and aguas frescas to the local community. What started as a simple dream soon became a beloved gathering spot — where the aroma of Mexican street food met the warmth of New England charm.
Through years of hard work, long nights, and a deep love for her heritage, Chef Rosa transformed that little market tent into a thriving restaurant located inside The Tannery Marketplace at 50 Water Street, Suite 18, Newburyport, MA opens in Google maps. Today, Rosita’s Cocina continues to share the same authentic flavors that started it all — handcrafted, vibrant, and made with heart.
Beyond serving delicious food, Rosita’s Cocina has grown into a community hub where people come not only to eat but to learn, celebrate, and connect. Whether it’s through cooking classes, catering, or private events, Rosita’s Cocina celebrates the joy of gathering around a shared table — just like back home in Mexico.
👩🍳 ABOUT CHEF ROSA
Born and raised in Mexico, Rosa has been passionate about cooking since she was just seven years old, helping her family prepare meals filled with flavor and love. When she moved to the U.S., she brought with her her grandmother’s treasured recipes, her mother’s and aunt’s creative twists, and her own touch of inspiration from the vibrant neighborhoods she grew up in.
Her dream was simple: to keep her family’s culinary traditions alive while sharing them with new communities. Every dish at Rosita’s Cocina — from the tamales to the chilaquiles — carries the spirit of her roots, her journey, and her unwavering belief that food can connect people across cultures.
