    My family had an absolute blast here on our vacation. The food was delicious, cocktails were so beautiful, and there was always something fun going on! The staff kept an upbeat fun vibe going while lighting food on fire and clapping to live musicians playing throughout the dinner walking through the dining room. How could you not have a good time! Omar was an amazing waiter. The octopus appetizer is a must have!!

    Beet salad with Feta cheese

    Ate dinner here yesterday. Nice high end restaurant with excellent ambiance and impeccable service. I ordered a glass of Tempranillo . For appetizers, we ordered the Beet with feta cheese salad. This was really good. Also ordered Mushrooms in tangy sauce, excellent. For main dish we ordered Corn tostadas. The house chips were ok, the salsa was good especially the habanero one. Great experience. Limited Vegetarian options however.

    Dance party! We are all singing Sweet Caroline

    I've never had so much fun eating out! This is fine dining cum dance party. Saturday night was insane!! DJ stared spinning dance songs around 9 and the bongos started and the waiters passed out sparklers and the scene erupted. People got up from their tables and danced between courses and drinks. The food and cocktails were really great. Fairly extensive menu so something for everyone. Do not pass up the mushroom risotto! It was my favorite thing of the night. Other than the martinis and the dancing. If you are into tequila, the pours are GENEROUS! I would not recommend this place for a quiet romantic experience. If you don't like loud music and shenanigans, not your go to spot. Maybe weeknights are less of a scene - call and ask. Oh and the service was impeccable. Super attentive. I'm so glad we spent our last night in Mexico City here. We practically shut the place down at midnight

    We swung by RosaNegra on our first night at CDMX and loved our experience. The ambience is very upscale and chic. You will also have a lot of photo ops options. We were excited to order hookah at the table. Our cocktails were too cute to drink and the food was delicious. We ordered the Mexican bread for the table, vegetarian tacos, fish tacos and grilled vegetables. The servers were friendly but the service was a bit slow. Overall, this place gave more of a nightclub feel with the really loud music and servers dancing, but it was fun.

    RosaNegra is the perfect place for a celebration or night out with your girls. Such a fun vibe, beautiful decor, and great live music. All of the cocktails were amazing: flavorful and with a great display/show. Service was also pleasant and not overbearing. Would highly recommend!

    One of my close friends recently celebrated a milestone birthday at RosaNegra Polanco in Mexico City. I didn't take a lot of pictures, so here's a quick recap of our experience: 1. The restaurant & ambiance: Beautiful venue + one of the clubbiest and most celebratory restaurants I've ever been to. There was a live DJ who almost exclusively played American soul and pop music, which we appreciated but were also surprised by considering we were in Mexico. A live band made a cameo appearance and played more traditional music. The servers were marching around the restaurant every 10 to 15 minutes with sparklers and making grand gestures to help restaurant guests celebrate their birthdays and other special occasions. There was also a marriage proposal a couple tables away from us. 2. Service: Exceptional! The hospitality and service here were top notch. There were actually three people assigned to our table of five, so all of our needs were promptly met throughout the dinner service. 3. The food and drinks: We ordered a round of cocktails, two bottles of wine, and an assortment of food, including crab bisque, mushroom risotto, Alaskan King Crab, steak, a wedge salad, a side of sweet potato mash, beef empanadas, a gourmet hamburger, and an over-the-top chocolate sphere dessert that my friend wanted. Everything was phenomenal, but the crab bisque and mushroom risotto stole the show in my opinion.

    I had my birthday dinner here on my first trip to Mexico City and it was fabulous! The service was great, although at times it was a bit too much. The vibes were amazing and there were drummers roaming around adding to the fun music. The presentation of the cocktails was great! My friend loved her bird drink, and the skull drink had a great presentation but my friend said it was just okay. I got a basic dirty martini but they did it right! Ok the food. My second favorite tuna tostada of the trip! And I tried a lot of them lol! The steak was perfectly cooked and my friends loved their salmon, risotto and tacos. So glad I chose this place to celebrate! They even brought out a dessert with a huge flaming candle!

    Amazing experience at this one of a kind restaurant in middle of polanco! There a live DJ that plays dance tunes all night long and two entertainers that play the drums and very lively atmosphere that breaks out in dance once every hour or so. The drinks and food are good as well. The drinks and food are presented in a very unique way. I had the margarita off of their cocktail menu that was fairly small and it's just chilled so no ice in it. It was with pineapple juice. For main course I had their big hamburger that actually had a mini burger on top of it. Never seen it before. Tried the tuna which comes in a sweet gingery sauce and was delicious. I also tried the octopus which was done very nicely. Atmosphere is 5+, service is 5, presentation 5+, taste 5.

    Got to try both of this restaurant and their sister restaurant called Chambo during this trip. Both have the same concept of dining with entertainment (Chambo has a live DJ). The menu looks pretty similar. The service was impeccable with most of the waitstaff were able to speak English. This is a place where you want to have a fun dinning experience rather than emphasizing for the quality of food which I thought was just okay.

    Cold steak Ala Rosa Negra MX with a side of cold puree. Points for the parilla to warm up my cold food ala Korean BBQ/Benihana vibes.
    Caro T.

    Ambiance is not a reason to eat here. When you tell the waiter that your food is cold and they bring out a parilla so you may reheat your steak?!?! Leave. Great atmosphere does not make up for the cold food and subpar drinks. Two stars for the efforts made on drink presentation and the live music.

    Duck confit tacos
    Tash B.

    I've been here twice now and left with a full happy belly both times. Owned by the "group that shall not be named" that also owns Animal, Taboo etc...Rosa Negra is a great spot for showy drinks, an upbeat dinner vibe, great food and good service - for a pretty penny ;) Both times I've been it's a packed house so always reserve ahead - and be wary of the super sweet cocktails. Go for the classics if you prefer lighter drinks. Must try: Bone marrow (massive, needed a little more broil time), salmon crudo, duck tacos, catch of the day (a big show to filet it table-side), burrata salad. If you're sensitive to the cold do not let them seat you in the corner by the door

    The long awaited celebratory dinner is here, and we are ready! The anticipation of this meal outweighed the disappointment of Pujol not answering our multitude of emails. We landed at Rosa Negra for this special dinner and it was perfect in every way! A party of 11 from around the world, ready to indulge and celebrate Enrique's 60th! So let's get started. It's loud. Really loud! This only matters because our table is limited to conversation with this many people. We started with cocktails, exceptional ones at that. You can't go wrong with the recommendations on the menu! Cheers. We moved on to wine, red and white to appease the masses. It was free flowing as we reviewed our food options. Complimentary warm Gruyère and truffle popovers, homemade tostadas, and salsas. Yes, please! Our servers, Eduardo and Fernando, were exceptional in every way. They were attentive, friendly, and timed our meal delivery perfectly. Appetizers for the table started with Hamachi tiradito, not to be missed! Next Peruvian ceviche, delicious! Grilled artichokes and balsamic cream... loved this dish! Between us we savored Grilled Octopus, a must and so good i didn't want to share it, but i did. King Crab Bisque, Boing Salad, multiple risottos with steak, mushrooms, and seafood, all delicious. The Branzino is a must for those who enjoy a high profile fish being prepared in front of your eyes.perfectly cooked and tasty. Hand shaken coffees with Licor 43, amazing. A sparkler in the birthday boy's cake is the showstopper of the night. A roaming sax player, an excellent playlist, great food, and fantastic company, served by a wonderful crew made this memorable. Thank you for the memories! This restaurant was very accommodating to our needs, adjusting the time and the amount of people, always with a smile. Much appreciated!

    Step into a realm where every bite tells a story. Rosa Negra is just more than just a restaurant it's an experience, a journey through the heart of Mexico From the moment you enter, Yerania makes you feel the hospitality of Mexico . The ambience captivates with its blend of modern elegance and cozy warms We star our gastronomic adventure with the appetizer, a ritme of flavors from rib tacos to corn tostadas than leaving you craving for more. Lolo guide you through all the flavors and Natile creat the perfect drink for your taste. The quality of the ingredients showcasing the freshest ingredients and innovations techniques. Local produce and the best serve, and please make room for music because Kevin will blow your mind with his saxophone. In Rosa Negra it's not just the food, it's the attention to details. Highly recommended! In

We were served blue corn tostadas with a few different sauces - all of which were tasty, especially the spicy creamy green one. We then ordered appetizers to share. All were tasty but hands down my favorite item was the pulpito. The octopus was so tender and went perfect with the little potatoes. I also really liked the rib eye tacos which came with the best red spicy sauce and the tiradito which is a campachi Crudo. From the cebiche tasting platter (no photo), I liked the atun the most. Of course we ordered desserts as well. I actually cannot remember the names but will comment on them with the attached photos. One I' didn't get a photo of was a chocolate dessert.

The grilled vegetables consisted of marinated portobello mushrooms, green beans, and a carrot. The mushrooms were quite tasty. The octopus cocktail was very refreshing and the spicy fish tacos were pretty good too. We finished the meal with a corn bread dessert (much sweeter than American cornbread) and flan.

Being from California, I was surprised to hear that they opened their newest location at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas last month. We ordered the tuna tostada that people rave about. It was ok. We could have used some more assertive flavor from acid or spice. I couldn't eat a whole fish (their signature dish), so we went with shrimp in their adobo rub in a taco and fish al pastor. These were also just ok, but the price tags are high for their entrees. I've seen pictures of others fish al pastor with onions and cilantro and that certainly would have added something I felt was missing. The one thing we ordered and loved was their seasonal mackerel ceviche which was in an apple/citrus/olive oil sauce. It was unique and delicious. I think their ceviche and aguachile are probably their strengths, but the cost is pretty high to leave feeling underwhelmed. Honestly, we will be going back to mi compa chava for better seafood
