AnthonyMay 27, 2015was skeptical at first but the guacamole is 100% worth it. sizeable portions that justify the price. fajitas, enchiladas, shrimp tacos, and steak are all winner
Amanda WilliamsMarch 5, 2015Delicious tableside guacamole! Frozen pomegranate margaritas are a great way to kick off the night. Tacos are very good but come here for plated Mex. Mole, braised dishes and Ceviches +chef specials.Upvoted Mar 11
Aliyah AlRabiahApril 29, 2016Guacamole dip so fresh 👌🏼must try, the Chicken Fajita was nice too and the Classic Mojito was awesome.- Jenko KentFebruary 19, 2016Guacamole is amazing but pricey. Salmon Poblano is perfectly crisp on the outside and perfectly delicate on the inside, seasoned beautifully!
Meg DavisFebruary 7, 2014I never finish my meals and I finished their fish tacos and could have kept going! they were that delicious. By far the best I've ever had in the city. The atmosphere is awesome. Highly recommend
Harumi UOctober 12, 2014Prix fix lunch menu is a great value! Main course you get is an actual entree size. And food comes with big value. Churros is so good I can just come here for dessert
Karl With A "K"September 15, 2017The chicken tacos are amazing here! And make sure you get some of their fresh made guacamole - they make it right in front of you (almost like Benihana).
Cocktails & CoutureJuly 12, 2011We stop by here often for a quick bite between shows during Fashion Week. Have the handmade Guacamole (they mix it at your table to your preference!) and the Pomegranate Margaritas!
Sean MadisonNovember 24, 2013Sure, the guacamole is delicious and a must have. Yet this chain restaurant shows its cookie-cutter kitchen with boring enchiladas. Do yourself a favor: stick to the guac and a drink, then leave.
Thiago PalmaMarch 15, 2014Awesome!!! The guacamole is prepared just in front of you, totally fresh!!! Great selection of Mexican beers! Highly recommended!
David ChitanavaJune 12, 2021One of the best restaurant in the city. Food is very tasty, flavorful and fresh. Service is fantastic. Its definitely worth to try.
Linda AppelqvistSeptember 22, 2013Good Mexican food and great margaritas. A very nice place to have a dinner at.
MetinJune 21, 2016Tried their enchiladas! Very rich with the sauce and unexpectedly BIG, couldn't finish the 3rd one. Love the complimentary tacos! A must visit.
Mariana Stuginski BarbosaSeptember 6, 2015Guacamole is awesome! Order 1 big and it was enough for 4! Quesadillas are delicious and they serve very cold beer! Great place!
Used to love Rosa Mexicano but, my recent visit to their Lincoln Center Columbus Avenue location will be my last. Current General Manager was the most appalling restaurant experience ever.
Catherine PayantMarch 17, 2018Amaaazing guacamole prepared right in front of your eyes on a trolley!!! 😍🤗
Jose SantiagoNovember 30, 2011Sit at the bar, chat it up with the bartender and you'll get the best margaritas on the rocks...plus you have get some guacamole!
Pomegranate margaritas, guacamole, queso fundido con chorizo, flautas, any entree, churros... All good and all filling.
Joshua NewmanMarch 31, 2017Excellent guacamole smashed table-side, though otherwise overpriced for what it is. To grab a post-work margarita, you're better heading a few blocks down 9th to the newer, more fun Tacuba instead.
Sabrina WangAugust 7, 2015Fancier version of Mexican food, but it is indeed good. The food is prepared with care and delicacy. Multiple vegetarian options as well.
frank malinkyJanuary 10, 2015The Guac was awesomesauce! The Giac was made to order at te table and it came with delicious dipping sauce that was spicy!
Jessica BarnettJune 9, 2017Boring, bland, overpriced and disappointing. The guac is flavorless. They also have zero spicy peppers or hot sauce if you're into that. They do have outdoor seating though.
Adrienne OpalkaApril 21, 2013The guacamole made tableside to your specifications really rocks! If you're going around Lincoln Center performance times make a reservation beforehand.
Pomegranate margaritas are deliciously addictive... As is the queso fondido.
Eaters HeavenApril 7, 2016Pollo mole and mango Margherita - food & service is good - difficult to have a conversation at the table unless you speak really loud or concentrate real hard
Kelsey✨April 8, 2017The guac is a must! And the ensalada picada is big & filling. Good choice for lunch
Spencer VairoJanuary 4, 2015Excellent place for hosting private events. The margaritas are incredible and the shrimp entrees are on point- Nate FolkertDecember 27, 2014kids menu chicken strips with sweet potato fries and small vegetable side
Sam HDecember 27, 2015Attentive service and amazing food. Recommend the pork tacos! Get the guac for the table
Village VoiceDecember 6, 2010Elegant evocations of regional Mexican fare, from the legendary mole known as manchamanteles ("tablecloth stainer"), to mixiotes, lamb shanks braised with dried chiles and tequila in parchment.
ChristineAugust 8, 2014EVERYTHING is good here from drinks to food. My fan fave is the enchiladas de mole poblano.
April Kate 🍴August 22, 2015I love the table side made guacamole. The entrees are pretty large. Fish tacos!
Kristie Van PraagMarch 10, 2014This place never disappoints me. I've been coming here since 2007! Mojitos, Baja Fish Tacos, Guacamole it's all amazing!
Barrett LaneSeptember 30, 2012Everyone raves about the guac and the margaritas, but the best item on the menu is the tres leches cake.- Melting Hearts USA SunglassesMay 12, 2015Such a cute restaurant! The food tasted great! I had the enchiladas & loved them!
Polina WeitzAugust 27, 2017Frozen margaritas were delicious, food was good, and the table-side guac was amazing.
Mariana SampaioJanuary 30, 2016Order anything. You won't regret. The only downside is the service, it could be better.
Mark AustinOctober 16, 2014Guacamole is so tasty and the pork shank was amazing. One of the nicest meals I've ever had!
Josh Weinberger (@kitson)January 25, 2010Go to Rosa Mexicano before a Lincoln Center (or Lincoln Center Plaza, or Lincoln Square) outing, and be sure to marvel @ the coolest wall in NYC. Also? The guacamole (made tableside!) and the churros. Read more
Gabrielle SarmientoDecember 5, 2019The spice Margerite great atmosphere and all the food is yummy yummy😊
Manny VAugust 19, 2012Insanely good ceviche and guacamole. Sangria for one comes in a small pitcher that is so worth the price.
Iván FaríasApril 24, 2011The restaurant is not expensive (Average p/p is $50 including tip) and the food is amazing! If you haven't tried the guacamole, you haven't really been here.

"In the summer time, grab some gelato from a nearby vendor and walk around the plaza. Be sure to snap a photo at the fountain and walk around to experience the finest cultural center in NYC."
