    My girls and I made a last minute Valentine's reservation at Rosa for brunch when our original plans fell through and we kept talking about how glad we were that things worked out this way. This is a super aesthetic and girly restaurant near Union square and they had even decorated for Valentine's Day! We ordered a strawberry margarita pitcher ($75) on the rocks which was the perfect amount of sweet and tart and paired it with some freshly made table side guacamole ($19). I found myself pretty full at the start of the meal, since they also give you rounds of chips and fresh salsa. I also ordered some chipotle chicken empanadas ($14) and I especially liked chihuahua cheese and chipotle combo. Admittedly, solo drinks are pretty expensive ($13-20), so if you come with friends, i recommend getting a pitcher because with three of us, we got three drinks each out of it. A great place to come with girlfriends!

    After another restaurant cancelled our reservations with 2 hrs of warning - my friends and I were scrambling to find a restaurant last minute. Thankfully Rosa Mexicano had some spots open on OpenTable. The restaurant was decorated for Valentines Day. It was perfect backdrop for Galantines lunch. We ordered a pitcher of strawberry margarita ($80) and split between 3 of us. We each had about 3 drinks each which worked out perfect for us. The restaurant gave us complimentary chips and made guacamole right in front of us. One friend ordered the Crispy Shrimp Tempura Tacos ($22), another ordered the Chipotle Chicken Empanadas ($14), and I had the Birria & Cheese Empanadas ($15). We each enjoyed our meal. There was a photographer which took a few pictures of us. We weren't going to buy any, but there was one pose he told us to do that we really liked how it came out. Picture in frame was $22. It was a nice touch to leave with a little memory. When we were ready to leave, the waitress left out check on the table and there was an option to pay online and split however many ways we wanted so we split it 3 ways. On the window we saw a Monday Special for $5 margaritas so we will definitely be back!!!!

    Great service. Stopped in with 6 co-workers took us in right away. The place is big inside and has seating outside. Food was delicious and margaritas were good also. Let me say get the Duck tacos. Really good!

    One of the few toddler friendly restaurants we found on our visit to nyc! Service was top tier as well. We enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa (entertainment for said toddler) and the margaritas were fresh and delicious. I ordered the chicken quesadillas for my entree. It is listed as an appetizer however the portion was plenty and it was so flavorful! Would absolutely eat here again!

    It was my first time at this Rosa Mexicano location, and it was lively but the space also felt more cramped than the other locations. The table we were seated at was next to a busy walkway and people kept bumping into my chair. The food was good and so was my drink! The portions are huge here so definitely shareable. I was disappointed that the table side guacamole wasn't made table side. Every other time I've been to Rosa Mexicano, they make the guacamole table side and it's so special! I wonder if they don't do that here because of the cramped space.

    I came here for National Tequila Day 7/24 and $5 Margarita Mondays during happy hour. So we tried an array of margaritas we had the frozen pomegranate Margarita (5/5), - Viva Mexico (cucumber, lime, and pomegranate frozen Margarita(10/5) $5 Mondays Honey Badger Blitz (4.5/5) $5 Mondays Piña de Fuego -spicy start pineapple finish 3.5/5 Mini Quesadillas 5/5 ($7) happy hour Oaxacan Egg Rolls (5/5) $9 happy hour Shrimp Diablo (10/5) $10 happy hour Nachos Zarape (3.75/5) $10happy hour The shrimp is perfectly fried and seasoned to perfection with a hint of spicy from the sauce. The quesadillas we kept ordering for more. The egg rolls were sold out on National Tequila Day but was available our second time around, very delicious, hefty and the tomato chipotle sauce was great. They have a nice size bar area and the restaurant is very spacious. They also got TVs at the bar area perfect to watch sports.

    It's been awhile since I've been to this spot. I also remember when it used to be the "Americana" restaurant (dated myself here :-P). It's still that grandeur spot and I am surprised it was still here. This place is HUGE! Service was spot on. Staff was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. The fresh guacamole (made right next to you) is always a home run. I had the birria tacos. They were so delicious. Plus, the prices for this kind of place in the Flat Iron District were surprisingly affordable. If you have guests from out-of-town and don't know where to bring them for food and drinks, take them here. You won't regret it.

    I was heading home and spotted the sign Monday all-day $5 margaritas! They've got five flavors to choose from, and it makes for a great quick pit stop. Fun, easy, and totally worth stopping by. Cheers! The vibe is cool. Service is friendly

    I love Rosa Mexicano! Every time I visit I am also so satisfied with my meal and drinks. I came on a Friday after work and I had two margaritas one was Pomegranate and the other was Mango. The Pomegranate is my favorite. The service was okay since the waitress seemed like she had many tables to take care of. I ordered a Chicken Quesadilla and a side of Street Corn Esquites. The restaurant started to get busy as the time got later. I'm sure Fridays are one of their busiest nights. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and they play nice music. I wish that they would have happy hour specials on Fridays. The drinks were a bit pricey. I'll definitely be back and visit on a different day to take advantage of happy hour deals.

    Came here for lunch and had a positive experience. My friend and I each got margaritas and a few tacos to sample. The food was tasty, but very oily. Service was alright. Our water kept forgetting what we ordered in the beginning and had to come back a few times even though the place was dead and we were the only table. The place itself is massive and very clean.

    We took our employees here for our Christmas dinner here & I was so surprised. Food was amazing. & they were sooooo busy too so to keep that standard. Was impressive , The place inside was so cool all the colors went together well. Our servers we had a table of 32. So we had a few. They all were great. My fav was the steak faitias. Big bold love the mokejlte bowl on the tables. Too , Great place

    Let's start by saying that upon arriving at Rosa Mexicano, I was awed by how beautifully it was decorated. I thought they did a great job creating a lovely atmosphere. We were promptly seated for our reservation and greeted. Once seated, I think this is where the issues began to arise. We asked for a brunch menu and keep in mind, there were four of us but they only gave us one single menu, so we had to share it, lol. Another issue was that it took a while for our server to stop by and ask if we wanted extra drinks throughout our time, considering we had a bottomless brunch. Not sure if he was new, but he seemed like he lacked experience. The good thing about all of this is that, regardless of the service, the food was great! Our plates looked delicious, and it tasted great! On top of that, they were also able to accommodate me with my request on how I wanted my dish to be made.

We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good.

Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.
