Rosa Mexicano is a SOLID option for authentic Mexican food that is a little nicer and elevated but casual and not pretentious and pricey. The ahi tuna tacos are the highlight of every visit , they are cooked perfectly and the fish is fresh and fatty and perfectly balanced with the toppings and seasonings. The Queso fundido is also on heavy rotation at our table, as well as the flautas the pollo which are deep fried to crispy excellence. The happy hour margarita deals are solid and the drinks pack a punch. Service is always kind, fast , fun and super attentive. Great location and plenty of seating, we have never had to wait for a table, or for service. read more

Rosa Mexicao is one of my all time favorite go-tos. I have been going to their many restaurants since the early 2000's. I even went to the original one over by the 59th Street Bridge and 1st Avenue. They are consistent with their drinks, food and atmosphere. My favorite location for fun is located in the Flatiron, however, the Lincoln Center location is just as nice with a different vibe. My friends from California love it and that is saying alot. We went the week before July 4th. They have an unbeatable happy hour deal featuring kid-sized glass of frozen margarita for $7. My fave and their signature is the Pomegranate flavor. Have loved it forever. They also serve free chips and salsa in the bar area. The Flatiron location is huge and airy. It has a large seated bar area and incredible dining room with a glorious atrium, banquettes as well as round tables for large parties. I even had a birthday celebration here once. Such a lively scene with freshly made guacamole and little divers on the blue tiled wall. Bathrooms are sometimes not the cleanest but overall decent. They give good portions of food for the price EXCEPT the large guacamole. It is very overpriced and they only use 2 avocados. I could make 10 times the servings at home for the same $35 that they charged. (Not the same price listed online) I will always opt to patronize this establishment. I have been doing so for years and that is truly an accomplishment. Well done Rosas!! read more

Rosa Mexicano was decent. Food was good. The guacamole at the table was phenomenal. What I didn't like was the people coming to the table to sell gum or a weird photo of the family. The waiter was friendly and the restaurant was clean. It was big and cutely decorated. read more

Went to meet a friend for lunch today and they made reservations at Rosa Mexicano. Food and drinks were very good and fresh Decor was nice and bench seating very comfortable. Steak Fajitas were cooked perfectly and served on a sizzling plate, and enjoyed the taste. We had the table side double avocado guacamole was delicious but they need to changed the cart they make it on, I think it has seen its last day.. time to send them out to pasture. Shrimp tempura tacos very good as well but not liking the salsa, strange taste. Our waitress was great and very personable and didn't rush us. I would go back if in the area but wouldn't be driving in to go eat. read more

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! read more

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!!!! read more

Rosa Mexicano has held its own in this location. It's still busy among tourists and locals. We've been coming to this location for over twenty years. It's large enough to accommodate groups. Their food is consistent. It's good. It's an energetic atmosphere anytime you dine. Out-of-towners think it's a fun experience. We live in L.A. now, but I am happy to see Rosa Mexicano is still in business. Kudos! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I can't tell you how disappointed I was in Rosa Mexicana last night. I had some a friend visiting and we went there because he was interested in Mexican food. Everything and I wanna emphasize everything was over the top salty the guacamole was over salty the chips on the table were too salty the salsa they offer on the table when you get there was too salty and my chilies Relleno had absolutely no flavor. On top of that, the margaritas which were ordered with patron Blanco were weak as could be So I don't know how many people they're ripping off with no flavor too much salt and drinks that quite frankly are not sufficient but I will never go there again read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

If you want the freshest and the finest, Rosa's is the place to go. Between the decor and beautiful service, you can't go wrong! I highly recommend the birria quesatacos! you can never go wrong with the full flavor it provides. This spot is by far a gem, and worth the visit! read more

They had some good options for vegetarians and they weren't too busy. The service was fairly quick as well. This spot seems a bit too fancy and over-priced for the food. It was alright but it wasn't the best. I feel it could be cheaper- or the food could be better and match the price. But ! It's alright overall. The margarita was strong - on the bright side. read more

It was my birthday and I decided to have something different maybe something new for me and for sure Rosa Mexicano was a good choice to go. I loved how huge the place was and the design of this place. Coming to the service, the staff were so kind and helpful, checking on us if we need anything, explaining and giving good suggestions, very lovely. The food was amazing, I love the grilled chicken, we ordered it medium well done, which was perfect, for stake if the medium would have been good. I loved how they delivered our good fast it was maybe like 15 minutes but fast for such a huge crowd. One more time thank you Rosa Mexicano for making my birthday special I'm not going to forget about it read more

We ended up here for a late bite and am sooo happy that we did. The interior is well decorated and HUGE -- perfect for large parties. Lots of bright colors and a fun vibe. Our waitress was so kind, and she informed us of the $5 Margarita deal on Mondays. I had my heart set on one of their signature margs though, to the dismay of my wallet. Ordered a Mango Chili margarita + sis had the Blood Orange version. mine was the best MCM I've EVER HAD. My lawd, it was utter heaven in a glass. The spice, the sweetness, the tajin rim.. give me 14 of em (and let the ambulance carry me away). Also ordered a caesar salad and queso fundido, both of which were standard but satisfied the craving! read more

Food was good, but the manager or host (unsure what his role is) was disappointing. I came here for a work dinner last night with a 6pm reservation. We all ordered an appetizer, 2 drinks each, and entrees. The food and service was good up until the end of the dinner. When we passed on dessert, we were finishing our drinks. At this time, it was 7:25. With a table of 5, I believe the table is usually held until at least 7:45-8p. The manager/host (tall man in suit) came up to our table and asked if we had enjoyed our meal or needed anything else. I responded that the meal was perfect, and we didn't need anything else at this time. His tone slightly changed from hospitable to hurried and said "Great please vacate your table as soon as possible then so we can seat a new party". If we continued ordering, it doesn't seem that he would have requested the table back - and we hadn't been in the restaurant for long. The restaurant was also only ~25% full. There was no wait. Ambiance was also less than desired because the restaurant music's bass of the music was shaking and buzzing our table most of the dinner. While I would have come back, I solely will not because of him. How embarrassing to have this happen at a work dinner, especially when we weren't there for long. read more
