The Tampiquena de Carne Asada was incredible! A definite must! This should also be socialized with margarita! Don't have the Pollo Abodado! Very overdone...otherwise, my was amazing!!!

Table side guac tastes good. Not sure if it is worth it (enough for one bowl of chips). Mole Poblano is kinda sweet sauce (not my type). Outdoor seating is great. Good margaritas.

The tequila menu is extensive & fabulous. Vegan, gluten-free tacos are delicious. Don't need to order a side of beans--they bring black beans to the table. The guac is quite good, though spendy.

Wonderful waiter, although the view would've been better if I got to see the water the restaurant atmosphere was wonderful GO HERE!!

I don't like neither guacamole nor avocado but this guacamole was incredibly delicious! Please give it a try and you won't regret! Also best nachos I've ever tried. Mango margarita is good too :)

Get the guac. So good. The Chile Pablano Relleno was excellent - the bed of asparagus was a nice addition. And, the rice was unexpectedly good: soft and creamy, almost like a risotto.

Awesome views. Guacamole is a must. I wasn't impressed with their entree menu. We ended up having beef enchiladas and they weren't that good to me. Service was excellent. Friendly staff as well.

Beautiful view of the river, delicious guacamole that lived up to the hype, and fantastic service! I will be back.

From their award-winning tableside guacamole to their signature pomegranate margaritas, Rosa Mexicano is the "gold standard" in "upscale" modern Mexican cuisine -- and the best National Harbor eats.
Markus TarjamoDecember 14, 2014
Can be a bit pricy, but is definitely worth it! The food is fantastic, the staff is incredibly efficient, and the freshly made guacamole is worth it!
Justine ArrecheOctober 17, 2014
Guacamole made fresh in front of your eyes. Very tasty. However the vegan options at this restaurant are completely lacking which is surprising for a cuisine of rice and beans.
Brett JFebruary 18, 2015
Get the Guacamole made at your table the way you want it...you WILL NOT be disappointed! If you are, come see me and I'll pay ya for it!
Nika TafarrojiJune 25, 2012
Steak and chicken tacos are both delicious. Thought I wouldn't like it cause I'm used to Tex Mex but it was great! The sides are great too, definitely recommend trying

Guacamole is very good. Fondue is excellent. Filet w wild mushroom is too heavy on the wild mushroom sauce. Could've been cut by 75%!
Olivia JaneJune 30, 2014
Best guacamole I've ever had! The pomegranate frozen margaritas are also delicious!
Southern BellMarch 23, 2016
The complimentary salsa and chips as well as the Sangria Roja
mariaJuly 30, 2016
The guacamole is prepared in front of you, it's so good!
Janice PersonDecember 13, 2012
The market salad is fantastic! Great flavors & they are complimented by the house dressing
Grant CastnerDecember 27, 2016
The place itself is well decorated and provides nice views of the water and surrounding landscape. Service was pretty good, but entrees did take rather long to come out. Food was decent. 3.7/5.
Sheila StewartJune 21, 2016
Definitely go for the guacamole made to your unique palate. You won't regret it!
Chris GutierrezFebruary 15, 2016
buy anything on the menu that comes with corn flour tortillas...the absolute best
Christina DiehlMarch 14, 2013
Try the Pork Belly And Scallop Tacos - Seriously? 3D bacon and scallops...what more could someone ask for?
Cameron WentkerFebruary 26, 2015
Try the sangria! They muddle it with fresh fruit, very fresh and flavorful.
Monique RamseyApril 26, 2010
THEY HAVE THE BEST GUACAMOLE! Also loved the tortilla soup-- so good! The ceviche is a "don't"!. If in the bar, sit near bartender Cory- you'll laugh all night and he's cute too! :)

Great ambiance! Can get very crowded during peak hours, come early.
Ares Riggins JrSeptember 25, 2021
I tell you what, happy hour is not worth it. Very tiny margaritas, and the street “tacos” were comically small. The tacos filling was good with impossible chorizo but terrible prices.

The guacamole dip is excellent. Freshly prepared in front of you. Nachos are great.
Cicely LMarch 30, 2017
Great guacamole - although a little pricey at $14!
John VlastelicaMay 1, 2012
Short ribs are excellent. Guacamole is really good, too. And great view of the Potomac River.
Angie M.August 13, 2012
Order the guacamole! They make it fresh, to order, right at your table. It is delicious.
Edmar RicasaSeptember 10, 2014
Hemanta and Josh are the best!!! Nice views of the Ferris wheel outdoor seating
Jared CampbellDecember 12, 2016
Sit outside with margaritas and guacamole. Great for people watching.
Dave PMay 27, 2013
The pork shank is friggin awesome! Eat it and be merry!
RobinApril 19, 2014
They have surprisingly good skinny margaritas. I'm a fan of most of the food too.
Chris DeckerApril 14, 2012
The pork shank is delicious! Definitely a big enough portion for leftovers!
Andrew RothmanMarch 23, 2012
The fried plantains were magic (practically a dessert). The chicken tortilla 'pie' was a little bland, but the rest of the meal was excellent.
Scott HalerzJanuary 3, 2011
Try the flatbreads or paninis or whatever the fuck they're called. During lunch, one plate is enough to feed two...and I eat A LOT
Rose PaulMay 26, 2013
The guacamole is made fresh at your table and its delicious!!!

The tortilla soup is not as superb as I have expected. The soup is bland with a little bitter aftertaste. The chili is just right.
Frederic JeanJune 13, 2010
You are right, the view is awsome, even if just for a relaxed brew. No draft brews :(, plenty choice of mexican bottled beers though :)

The jumbo lump crab fajitas is quite sour. I should have enjoyed it better if the shell is not included. It is very expensive. Butterflied red snapper is just okay nothing really special.
Ayesha G.December 29, 2013
Don't eat here. It's only good for guacamole made table side and drinks....and I think you can get that at the bar and save yourself the wait
Kevin CabralDecember 23, 2012
Avoid it, unless you enjoy tartare a la creme brûlée, mayonnaise empanadas and other atrocities against Mexican food. Not to be confused with the NYC branch which maintains its standard.
Melinda ColonSeptember 1, 2012
The table side guacamole is a must! You won't be disappointed.
Alvah L.February 17, 2013
The freshly made at table guacamole and salmon are outta this world
Rochelle RuffinJuly 14, 2012
The Guac is the BEST. Love the pork shank and beans!
B RamJanuary 13, 2018
Awesome food. The salsa is a hit!
Mandy HeatonMarch 23, 2015
Margaritas and shrimp tacos. Excellent guacamole
Monica MullerNovember 2, 2015
Margaritas at the bar & the nachos are yummmmm.
Q ChainzJanuary 19, 2013
Happy Hour is awesome!!! Try the crispy chicken tacos. :)
