If this year’s wet weather has stopped you from making it across the Bruns footbridge and over to the beach, then you may’ve missed the ongoing evolution of one of the shire’s truly unique venues – Rosefina’s Place on South Beach Rd, just opposite the surf club.
The cute little caravan that started it all proved just too small, and has been sent home to pasture and replaced by a more effective mobile food outlet nestled in the beachside garden. An upgrade in premises has allowed Rosefina’s to pursue the original goal of creating beautiful Mexican food to share with the community.
Rosefina’s Place has recently launched a new all-day menu with a focus on Mexican-inspired flavours and dishes.
The often-requested tacos will return and now be available every day, not just on weekends. You can also enjoy spiced chorizo tostadas, or a hearty brekky burrito with free-range bacon and free-range eggs to get your day started. The Rosefina’s favourite is the RosaBene, a Mexican take on the traditional eggs benedict with crunchy tostadas for dipping into the plate’s abundant flavours including eggs, black bean puree, rhubarb compote and sikil p’aak, a traditional Mayan dip from the Yucátan region in Mexico.
Plant food lovers among us will enjoy the Mexi-bowl, a Mexican rice-based dish incorporating a variety of plant flavours and textures from pickled carrot to guacamole for your hungry fork.
Like everything else about Rosefina’s Place the garden continues to grow and evolve with the seasons, providing a tranquil oasis to retreat to on a warm day. Protected from the hot winds, it catches the cooler ocean breezes that can get lost on their way inland. Away from busy roads or a bustling business district, for many Rosefina’s is a sweet retreat between the ocean and the river.
A reminder of a time before the world came to Byron Shire.
