## What is worth choosing

Rosa Mexicano offers a complete and captivating dining experience that makes it a top choice for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors in NYC. The restaurant's long-standing reputation is well-deserved, built on a foundation of quality food and exceptional service. One of the primary reasons to choose Rosa Mexicano is its iconic, freshly made guacamole. While one customer noted a particular instance of it being a tad bland, this is an easy fix with the provided lime and salsa and a rare occurrence; the tableside preparation is an experience in itself and a delicious start to any meal. The menu is expansive, with something for every palate, but the tacos and enchiladas are a clear highlight. One review highlighted a "Taco Tuesday" where tacos were half off, which instantly set the tone for a "great night." The diners "went on a full on taco frenzy, and each one was flavorful," a testament to the kitchen’s skill. The variety of taco fillings, from Duck Carnitas to Crispy Shrimp Tempura, ensures a new taste adventure with every visit.

Beyond the food, the drinks are a definite reason to visit. The "drinks hit the spot," as one reviewer noted, and the margarita selection is extensive and celebrated. Whether you opt for a classic or one of their specialty concoctions like the Frozen Pomegranate Margarita, you're in for a treat. The atmosphere is also a major draw. It's described as "fun and surprisingly not too loud," allowing for easy conversation—a rare and valuable quality in a bustling New York restaurant. The service consistently receives high marks, with staff being "friendly and attentive." The willingness to accommodate customer requests, such as providing extra milk for the tres leches dessert, shows a commitment to customer satisfaction. While the tres leches dessert may have been dry for one diner, the staff’s gracious and helpful response is a perfect example of their excellent service, turning a minor issue into a positive experience. With a combination of outstanding food, a vibrant atmosphere, fantastic drinks, and a genuine commitment to hospitality, Rosa Mexicano is a great choice for lunch, dinner, or brunch and a reliable destination for a fun and delicious Mexican meal in the heart of New York City.

Dropped by after work on a Thursday night and thankfully there’s lots of seating available as most other spots were full. The atmosphere was fun and surprisingly not too loud that I couldn’t hear my friend.The menu is fairly big but the main options are tacos or enchiladas with a few signature dishes. We ended up sharing fajitas and some appetizers. Food was good but I did feel the signature guacamole was a tad bit bland. Also had the tres leche for dessert and it came a bit dry. They graciously gave us more of the milk when we asked which helped it a lot.Service was good and staff was helpful. A good spot if you’re craving Mexican food.

We stopped by for Taco Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised; all tacos were half off! which instantly set the tone for a great night.. The waitress was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout. We went on a full on taco frenzy, and each one was flavorful. The drinks? Hit the spot. While I didn’t love the tres leches dessert, everything else made up for it. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!

Great spot! 🍹 Came in on a Monday and was happily surprised by their $5 margaritas — such a steal and actually really good! The vibe was relaxed, the staff was friendly, and the drinks hit the spot. Definitely coming back for more Monday deals!

Pleasant atmosphere, ample seating space, full bar, flavorful margaritas in pitchers, delicious guacamole. Low level of illumination in the interior. Clean bathrooms.
