Easily deserved 5 stars. Warmly welcomed and attentive staff, all the food was absolutely delicious. Dining in the outdoor area was like being transported to spain.Highly recommended the steak. At $42 such good value for potion and quality.We had to order bread to soak up every little bit of sauce on our plate!

Food 10/10. The flavors are incredibly rich, great presentation, and super generous portions for the price. We ordered nachos with two cocktails and, coming from Sydney, I can honestly say these are the best I’ve had so far. The staff service was exceptional—very attentive and focused on making sure we had a great experience. I’d definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Claudia Gliatis

08:59 22 Apr 25

We had such a great time here! Tried a bunch of dishes—like the honey glazed eggplant, ceviche, traditional guac, and those juicy corn cobs—and honestly, everything was delicious. The classic margaritas? Best we’ve had in years—no exaggeration. The service was just as awesome: super friendly staff with big smiles that made us feel so welcome. The vibe is amazing too, with Mexican music playing in the background—it really feels like a hidden gem. This was our second visit, and it definitely won’t be our last!

Absolutely loved our experience at this restaurant! Every dish we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The burrata was incredibly creamy and fresh — paired perfectly with the tomatoes and olive oil. The ceviche was a delightful surprise — not the typical Latin American style, but it had a unique twist that worked so well. Super refreshing and perfectly balanced.We also tried the garlic gambas, which were sizzling hot and bursting with flavor. The garlic was rich without being overpowering, and the prawns were cooked just right. And to finish it off, the churros were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and came with the most delicious dipping sauce.The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for quality food with creative touches!

Incredible gem tucked away! We went with the croquettes and patatas bravas. Service was considerate and warm. The food was perfect. We saw one of the signature nachos at the table next to us, and that will definitely be our next pick! A good selection of cocktails went well with the comfortable bar atmosphere. Awesome tapas well worth a look!

Almost 2 hours and rice is still not made, food is good but this kinda time wasting is diabolical 🤡Waiter said restaurant was busy, but there was like 1 other table occupied 💀2 groups already left 1 hr ago, clown show of a waiter, where is the training💀💀EDIT: You say it takes 20 mins for the paella however it was the first item we ordered and it took more than 2 hrs. My language is more than constructive for your useless staff 🤡

Sean De cruz

01:01 05 Mar 25

Waiting 2 hours for rice 💀💀EDIT: You’re just as non-apologetic as the waiter was, ask him if he forgot to take the order and was lying to me when I asked him where is the rice… mind you 2 hours later 💀💀And who said we enjoyed a “2 hour dining experience without the main course” stop being deluluEDIT 2: You don’t wanna take accountability at all, the truth was we never got the paella until we paid, almost left because it got late, and i told him ill take the paella for takeaway, which is when they started making it 😂😂😂 ordered 2 hours+ ago. Keep standing up for your useless waiters.

Starting and finishing with amazing service. The tacos were spot on. Personally recommending the snapper and mango taco a must try in my opinion.The steak with chimichurri is a great share plate and you cannot go past the guacamole and chips.If you’re in the area and want a decent meal with great prices D’ La Rosa is a must!!! 5 stars

Tucked away in the laid-back yet stylish enclave of Mermaid Beach, D’ La Rosa presents itself as a refined neighborhood gem with an inviting, intimate atmosphere. The moment you step inside, you’re met with a blend of coastal charm and European-inspired elegance—dim lighting, warm wood tones, and a hum of conversation that suggests this is a place where people linger, enjoying good company over a meal meant to be savored.The Food: Hits and MissesThe menu reads well, promising a mix of contemporary European influences with a touch of modern flair. The patatas bravas were the highlight of the meal—a fantastic interpretation of the Spanish staple. Crispy, golden potatoes provided the perfect textural contrast to the velvety, piquant sauce that carried just the right amount of heat. It was a dish that spoke of thoughtfulness and technical skill, a rare moment where simplicity meets brilliance.The steak, however, was a letdown. Ordered medium-rare, it arrived underdone and lacking in seasoning. The cut itself had potential but failed to deliver on flavor, missing the umami-rich crust that defines a truly well-executed steak. A little more assertiveness with seasoning and a sharper sear would have made all the difference. It wasn’t inedible, but it also wasn’t the kind of steak that lingers in memory.Atmosphere & ServiceD’ La Rosa shines when it comes to ambiance. It’s quaint yet refined, cozy but not cramped, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed dinner. The staff were warm, professional, and attentive without being intrusive, adding to the overall ease of the evening.Final Verdict: 4 StarsD’ La Rosa has all the makings of a fantastic restaurant—charming atmosphere, attentive service, and moments of brilliance in the kitchen. However, inconsistency in execution holds it back from true greatness. With a bit more precision in the kitchen, it could easily be one of Mermaid Beach’s must-visit dining spots.

Cheerful tapas place with indoor and outdoor undercover seating. We came on a ‘first table’ which made it great value. They had a good range of drinks and cocktails. Food was excellent, it was all very fresh and full of flavour. I especially loved the calamari and the gambas! I think I would leave the croquettes next time and try something else, I found them average. Overall a lovely place for tapas!

I wish I could say we had a great experience at this restaurant, but unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. My wife and I ordered the Chimichurri Steak, expecting a decent meal, but what we got instead was a frustrating ordeal.As someone who has worked as a chef before, I understand that during busy periods, customers can expect to wait—sometimes up to 45 minutes at peak times. However, waiting 1.5 hours for a single steak is completely unacceptable. We reminded the staff and the manager/owner four times, yet nothing was done. To make matters worse, an hour into our wait, another couple was seated next to us, also ordered a steak, and received theirs within 20 minutes.When our steak finally arrived, it was completely raw. We sent it back, expecting a proper recook, but instead, they simply put it in the oven for a couple of minutes. The result? A terrible texture and taste—so bad we couldn’t even finish half of it.When I went to pay, I calmly mentioned our issues, hoping for at least an apology. Instead, the manager/owner argued with me about whether the steak was cooked correctly in the first place. There was no accountability, no acknowledgment of the ridiculous wait time, and certainly no attempt at compensation.Final Verdict: As someone who understands the restaurant industry, I can confidently say this is not how you treat customers. The least they could have done was apologize, but instead, they doubled down on poor service.If you decide to dine here I hope your experience is better
