    Chicken enchilada
    Anna D.

    Third time coming this summer. Food and margaritas are great. While it's nice to sit outside sometimes there are some crazy people walking down first Avenue and you might be better off sitting inside. It was nice to have salsa and chips and free refills.

    We were in the East Village and looking for a place to have drinks and dinner. We stumbled upon Rosie's on 2nd Ave. What a fun time! Place was hopping (at 2pm on a Sunday!) It was a nice day so all the outdoor tables were taken but their glass doors were all open. Modern interior with colorful decorative touches was bright and cheery. They make a great margarita (I recommend Rosie's margarita - mezcal, tequila, dry curacao & serrano lime). Alex was a delight as our server. I ordered the huevos tirados from the brunch menu (scrambled eggs, black beans, salsa, queso fresco & tortillas) that were amazingly fresh and delicious. The pechuga rostizada (grilled chicken breast with avocado, tomatillo salsa) was super tender. We finished with the Mexican sundae (mini churros, caramel gelato, chocolate sauce) that capped off a wonderful, fun, casual meal.

    Great spot for fresh tacos and margaritas! Super busy Mexican restaurant with freshly made tortillas right at the bar. Seating indoors or out. Friendly attentive service. The tacos are fresh with a great variety and the chicken enchiladas are so stuffed full I could barely finish. Chips and salsa are extra but a necessity with the tasty fresh margaritas!

    Rosie's food is well seasoned and diverse. The passionfruit margarita took me back to sitting on the beaches of Hawaii. Our serve, Alex, was so friendly and service was VERY prompt. Ambiance is lively on a Saturday night but noise level is moderate so you can have a conversation with your table.

    This was a perfect night to drop in on my way to a play at La Mama. Cold but but too cold, and at 6:30 still enough spots to get a seat. Sat by myself at the counter and ordered the enchiladas Suizas without sour cream, and a Pacifico. The meal was generous and tasty. My server was as kind as can be, showing me the postcard with the chef's book about immigrants in NYC kitchens. I also liked being able to pay by QR code.

    Found out about this spot in the Happiest Hours app and so glad I did! The service is great, workers are friendly. The ambiance is perfect for a date night or after work drinks. I tried the enchiladas, chicharron and churros. The chicharron was not the type I am used to, but it was good as an appetizer and had great flavors. The Rosie frozen margarita is the best frozen marg I have had. Will definitely be returning for another and to give the tacos a try.

    Rosie's is fun for happy hour! $10 frozen margaritas are really good, and the $12 chips and guac are great. The rest of the menu is pretty pricey. Overall, I like the ambiance of the place, it's very lively. The service was also great, and there was no wait when we went on a weekday.

    Rosie's is an absolute gem! We always get the chicken tacos, and they are hands-down the best around. The rice is completely amazing, and their chips and salsa are truly the best I've ever had--I only wish I had taken a picture to prove how good it looks! We always love sitting outside because the ambiance is so pretty.

    Frozen mango marg
    Caroline F.

    Mother mid but trendy and fun spot for Tex-Mex in the city. Starting with the good, I enjoyed the frozen mango margarita--great flavor, but wish it was stronger. Salsas with the guac appetizer were surprisingly flavorful. I appreciated the hand-made corn tortillas, sadly they fell apart in the tacos (must double up for juicy meat). I enjoyed the Al pastor--but certainly not the best in the neighborhood. Steak taco fell short. Would not order again.

    Strong margs = good! The enchiladas were perfectly average (coming from Texas it's hard to find a great enchilada but it was alright)-- Single taco for over $7 and a quesadilla sliver for $10 is a little crazy-- and our friend indeed did get a bit dupped anticipating something more filling! Cheers!

    Quesabirria
    Michelle H.

    walked in with a group of 5 on a saturday night and was able to get a seat without waiting. it's a pretty big place. skinny spicy marg was yummy. quesabirria was tasty! couldn't make me a regular chicken quesadilla though :/ server was very nice

    Dessert

    The cutest tortilla bar Mexican restaurant with the BEST SERVICE EVER. I am obsessed with Rosie, our waitress. She was the best girl ever and helped us out on everything. So patient, so sweet, so informative, and so funny. Absolutely adored her. I will be coming back just for her. The passion fruit margarita is deliciouusssss. And the quesabirria tacos were soooo fire. The pescado (fish) taco was so good but the Al pastor taco was mid. Dessert was insane, so many different flavors mixed all together. It was really good but a little too much / too intense for us hahah, should've sticked to something more simple. Overall, such fun casual vibes with tons of tables and seating available at this restaurant. Highly recommend for a fun time.

    Do they have any specials for taco Tuesday?

    Are you nut-free? (For those allergic)

    We do have nuts in-house, but we are able to accommodate but allergies. Hope this helps!

    Can a celiac eat here? Specifically the chips?

    Hi, Lisa! We are extremely gluten free friendly since all of our tortillas are made with corn. There is some issue with the chips as they share a fryer with our churros that do contain gluten. Any guest concerned with a Celiac restriction is given… 

    Can I bring my dog to outside seating?

    Yes! As long as they follow NYC regulations, dogs are allowed on our patio. :)

    Do they have taco Tuesday deals?

    We do not have any Tuesday specific deals, but we do offer happy hour at the bar from 4-7pm and a late night happy hour 10pm-12am on Tuesdays.

    What are the happy hour specials?

    ONLY at the bar and it's select cocktails.

    Is happy hour available throughout the entire restaurant or just at the bar?

    Happy hour is at the bar: M-F: 4-7pm Su: 5-7pm…

The front of house "girls" said a table would be available 1-2 hours but a seat at the upstairs bar was immediately available...tired and hungry we agreed. The kicker was: the upstairs tables were *completely unoccupied* and remained so for the hour or so it took to serve us a couple of drinks and eat a meal while seated at the bar. While the food and bar service was great, we expressed out disappointment of not being allowed to sit at a table in the *entirely vacant* upper level (BTW, it was wonderfully quiet up there, compared to downstairs). Excuses ranged from "short staffed" (despite three young women at front of house being deep in conversation with themselves) to "no server upstairs" , both clearly BS as someone clearly served us, but they were apparently "runners" not "servers". WTF? Seriously?! Heaven forbid two people sit at a table in an otherwise totally empty upper level. OK, I'm still tired and cranky, but suggest whoever owns this gem on 45th St give their management some Faulty Towers management training: "Manuel, let me explain something to you...." Food: excellent. Prices. Very reasonable. Bar staff: wonderful: Management/front of house: rather clueless
