    Red chile chicken rice bowl
    Jillian C.

    I ordered lunch from here via a catering service, so I can't comment on the ambiance of the restaurant. I can speak for the food though, which was delightful! I ordered the red chile chicken bowl, which was packed with flavor! The ingredients seemed very fresh. I would definitely order this again!

    IF YOU LOVE BLAND IMITATION MEXICAN FOOD COME HERE! This was by far the worst "Mexican" restaurant I've tried in Boston, coming from a Mexican from Mexico. I would 1000% recommend going to cosmica instead if you're looking to eat somewhere in proper Boston. We came here on a Friday at 5pm and it was very empty. The restaurants theme leans into mexicos pink color. The food look the way it was supposed to but it does not. The chilaquiles were very bland and the meat was too which is why we decided to not get anymore food. It was an instant disappointment. I would suggest going to east Boston for better Mexican food.

    " Fresh & Delicious " We bought nachos here for take out , They were so delicious. Everything was fresh . Portion was generous for one person meal or a side for two . They also included chips and salsa . Which you would have got if you dined inside . The vibe is welcoming. The service is friendly. Parking is difficult but manageable.

    This place is so gorgeous, when you first walk in it's a bunch of low lights and water flowing from walls. I guess he did pretty quickly but also I came on a Monday at 6:00 p.m. so that could be a difference it was hardly anyone in here. It is starting to filling up around 6:30. The server in the staff are extremely nice, my first taste was the salsa and it wasn't that great so I've ordered the queso to see what that was like. My case was pretty good, it's nice and thick but so creamy. It comes out very hot, do it some cilantro and cheese. However they did not bring me any extra chips he's only had like five chips left over from the complimentary sausage and chips they give you. So I thought I'm going to end up with a bunch of cheese. But nope they brought us more. I ordered the filet mignon with the side of Mexican rice and refried black beans. The stick is fine but I wanted it to have a little bit more seasoning or be a little more flavorful , the rice and beans the rice was so hard I was crunching through my teeth . The beans are right but I don't know they're kind of tasteless . Also when we got our food we had several orders of rice and beans because the food comes with rice and beans but we didn't know that because the side said something else so I asked if my sides could be rice and beans instead . But instead he just gave us additional sides of realizing games. Those are drinks were only $5, the frozen margarita one I got was too sweet for me and I have an issue with things like that. So I told the guy that I would still pay for it, but I just wasn't going to have him any offered to make me a whole new just on the rocks. And that's what I got a pomegranate margarita on the rocks. This was far better, and tasted very good. And it's only five bucks, I'm not sure if it's not still there promotion or what but I'm glad they do it. They also have this Fiesta hour menu that has all these cool little things on it like wings small quesadillas egg rolls Ceviche shrimp and you can get a Smashburger or nachos. Calling on my conclusion is it's a good place to come for drinks maybe some appetizers but for me I wasn't happy with the food. They didn't even have steak sauce or anything to dipstate Sauce in like nothing no soy based nothing. Well and the mashed potatoes they wrap it in fried cheese the mashed potatoes isn't that good but the fried cheese is yummy yummy I will get it just to keep you in the fried cheese. It's so hard because I kind of like the place and again the staff is what makes it but they could do that on the food. So for the staff they are definitely five star top tier. But as far as some other things they could work on it like menu and food presentation and having more condiments. I don't care how fancy schmancy you are. Oh and one more thing I couldn't even eat my rice because it had like burnt rice in it or over I don't know but it's like when you scrape rice from the bottom of the pan. It was hard to eat without crunching down on pieces of rice you can't bite through.

    My friends and I stopped by Rosa Mexicano in Boston Seaport after a boat cruise, it was conveniently within walking distance, which made it an easy choice. We got there around 10pm (they close at 11), and thankfully they were still seating and serving. Our server, Yasmina, was friendly and mostly attentive. That said, since it was close to closing time, the staff seemed to be in clean-up mode, so it took a little while to get her attention when we needed something. I ordered a frozen guava margarita, which was disappointing, it tasted more like grapefruit than guava, and definitely wasn't what I was expecting. I also got the Birria Quesatacos. Flavor wise they were okay, but there were tough, big pieces of meat that made them hard to chew, and the birria sauce lacked flavor. One nice highlight of the night was that we were celebrating a friend's birthday, and the staff brought out a complimentary birthday treat and sang to her (upon request). It was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated. Overall, Rosa Mexicano has a fun vibe and a great location for late-night eats in the Seaport. I loved the overall pink aesthetic as pink is my favorite color, but for me, the food and drinks fell a bit short.

    I brought my best friend's mom here for her birthday and I don't know about you all but stakes are high when you take Haitian mamas out to try any outside cuisine that isn't their own kitchen. Add added pressure with my mom being there. But I am pleased to say they all loved every bite. In fact, we could barely make it past the appetizers. Service was good, we initially started eating outside, thinking the view at Seaport would trump the breeze, but soon learned that was not the case. So mid meal, staff were kind enough to move us indoors. I really don't have any complaints. Drinks were great, food was great. It's definitely one of my favorite upscale Mexican restaurants in Boston and I am glad the quality of their food has not fallen off after so many years that I've been going.

    So place is pretty well decorated and we liked sitting outside. Service was great our server was personable made recommendations and was honest about what he liked and what he didn't. There was 4 of us. 2 ordered birria tacos, 1 ordered Baja fish tacos and I got queso fundido. The chips and salsa was yummy that was brought pre meal. The person with the fish put the sauce on it that came with it and couldn't eat it cause it was super super hot. I had to send back my fundido as it was super watery and not melty cheese. The chorizo on top was crumbled dry chorizo not the cooked kind I'd expect. There was peppers and onions inside which I think led to the wateryness. I did have the clarified margarita and it was good rim was Uber salty but drink was decent. Based on the food don't think I could go back. :(

    Enchiladas Lobster, Crab, and Shrimp.

    Passed this place so many times and finally went in. Its a large nice space at the seaport. The food is standard tex mex. The portions are large and very fresh. We had the fresh guac which was 8/10. For our main meals we had the chicken fajitas and seafood enchilatas. Both I would say 8.5/10. Service was good for dinner. I'm glad I tried it, but wouldn't be my go to choice in seaport, too many better restaurants.

    Real Guacamole
    Marc S.

    Some super good guacamole resides here! The chips are different, almost like a thin crispy surface layer on them that I never had before. The salsa had no true kick but it was still enjoyable. The Quesa birria tacos were great. They were served street taco size in a group of three. I would have loved the next size up or one more taco though. More queso will make them next level. Service was super friendly and the tables were very clean, no sticky residue from cleaning solution. Very nice indoor and outdoor dining choices with very tasty drinks. Good Mexican food in Boston, who would've thunk it!

    Real Mexican Coke
    Jennifer S.

    Fabulous food! I love the fact that I was offered a "Mexican Coke" (it has real cane sugar, not high fructose corn syrup). The hostess was very kind & accommodating and my server Gregory was superb! A+ I had had a bad experience at my hotel and Gregory really turned my day around.

    Stumbled upon this restaurant coming from the Christmas Market. We scored and got a table right away! Highly recommend the table side guacamole and the shrimp quesadilla!!!! Delicious!!! Very lively atmosphere!

    A solo seat by itself and refused us to sit there with a service dog
    Raymond W.

    Have have been here several times. Came there today, July 12 wasn't very busy at all a lot of seats on the patio in on the other side and they refused service because we had our service dog with us. We could've set us in a section all by ourselves. It was plenty of room. Will never return.

    Excellent service, food was delicious and very nice ambiance so I would say this restaurant overall it's a 10/10 100% sure we're coming back soon

It was a Sunday night and we didn't feel like going far for a meal. That's when we put the voucher to use as the Capiz is in the lobby of the hotel. We went for an early dinner. Walking into the restaurant, no one was there to greet us and there was no host stand. Finally, a server (who also turned out to be our server) told us to pick where we wanted to sit. We chose a four-top table. When it was time to order, we were dealing with a limited menu. I chose lobster quesadillas, which were listed under "appetizers". My husband chose the fish and chips. The quesadilla was sloppily made. Some pieces had hardly any cheese or lobster in them. Other pieces were overloaded with lobster and cheese. While it was all edible and the lobster was properly cooked, it still was underwhelming. My husband said the fish was well prepared, flaky and crispy at the same time. There were too many French fries, making the plate a bit messy. In a pinch, Capiz did fit the bill as we didn't feel like going far for a meal that day.

Lastly, the hostess and waiter were excellent in taking care of us while dining.
