Rosa Mexicano is home to top flight margaritas and Mexican food with designer aspirations. They even leave out the tacky decor in favor of sleek southwestern.
The flavor are exotic and the food surpasses the expectations of Mexican food lovers.
The guacamole is prepared table side to your specifications. The salsa is fiery and piquant.
The main dishes tend to be quite large. Try something adventurous like the fish dishes or one of the mole sauces.
As with all Mexican spots, it's best to skip dessert. Order another Margarita instead.

This is a really nice Mexican restaurant in terms of decor (there was some pretty, glowing waterfall near the entrance). I'm not big into Mexican food, but the sangria (spelling?) was good, and I enjoyed whatever shrimp dish I had (though there was a pretty disappointing shrimp to rice ratio). One thing that may have affected my enjoyment of this restaurant was that I was beginning to suffer the effects of a sinus infection when I went: I suffered a huge coughing fit in the middle of dinner, although to this end I know at least that the service is really good & nice: they brough me tea with honey very quickly, and were super-attentive to whatever I needed. A warning: don't go here for the deserts.

The food is not authentic, but still good. The atmosphere is fun and colorful, though not a typical Mexican joint. Much more upscale, and a bill to show for it!

Rosa Mexicano is a mediocre Mexican restaurant. The guacamole is good.. but at $14 per serving it is vastly overpriced. The entrées are ok, but for the same price one can go to a much higher end restaurant and get better food and service. The biggest attraction of Rosa is the bar. Bar scene can be good on a Thursday night or on the weekend. Try a frozen margarita.

I seriously don't know why this restaurant is considered to be one of the best Mexican places in New York. My first (and last) time to be there was extremely disappointing. My wife and I were seated by the bar where about 50 phony people were standing and drinking right above our table. So perhaps this was a one time bad experience, but the food was just an overpriced dish which should be simple but is made complicated. After visiting Rosa Mexicano, I've decided that there is no point to trying to put a fancy label on this type of cuisine. Mexican food should stay simple and down to earth, just as the place it came from.
