I love this mexican restaurant! It is always a great experience! You must try the queso fundido and the dessert: tres leches de la casa! Besides that the pomegrane margarita is ...

Worst

As far as I'm concerned, all you really need to know is this: a double order of guacamole is $28. That's right. Twenty-eight freakin' dollars for a very average serving of guaca...

Rip-Off! 9/11/2003

As far as I'm concerned, all you really need to know is this: a double order of guacamole is $28. That's right. Twenty-eight freakin' dollars for a very average serving of guacamole. I was with two other people and the waiter recommended a double order for a party of more than two, so we fell for it. $28 for guacamole is criminal. It's making my skin crawl as I write this. The owners should be locked up for larceny. It makes me so sick I want to spit. The restaurant is otherwise a nice experience, but never, ever, ever order a double order of guacamole. Go buy yourself a couple CDs instead. Give it to the homeless person on the corner, but never, ever pay $28 to these criminals for that crap. I'm still pissed off about it. If the owner or manager is reading this. Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!! Pros: Service Cons: overpriced, rip-off, criminal more

Best Upscale Mexican 9/11/2003

This is the best upscale mexican restuarant in NY! Great tastings of Tequila, awesome food and who can complain about their guacamole dip? And I am not even a big fan of guacamole dips in general. This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants. Pros: Food, Ambience Cons: the Wait, Small Bar more

I love this place 8/12/2003

Had the most delicious halibut ever the other night, and the guacamole and margaritas did not disappoint. The restaurant is so beautiful, day or night, that it makes me happy to be there. Pros: best guacamole, beautiful, lovely service Cons: crowded bar, boring ladies room more

West Side Mex 5/22/2003

When I hear the words 'seamless service' this is the place I remember - it seems just as you start to think you need something someone appears with it. Love that tableside guacamole and margaritas! more

Worth the wait!! 3/31/2003

Waited on the walk in line this weekend at 7:30 and was not seated until 9pm! However, the guacamole was to die for, simple and fresh! Although there were not many selections for vegetarians the stuffed poblano chilis kept me well satisfied. My bf told me his pork dish was yummy too. The food here is of generous proportions and prices are moderate. The service was friendly and not too overbearing. Make sure to sit upstairs in the beautiful romantic dining room. Next time, will make sure to make reservations! Cons: Long wait for walk in more

REFRESHING IN NYC 3/23/2003

I Have lived in NYC for almost 5 years and this past weekend was my very first trip to Rosa! The service top notch and the food - AMAZING, I appreciated that in a city full of restaurants, this one has something different and refeshing to offer! The Guac made at the table was such a treat (although you do pay for it) and made the dining experience fun and entertaining - not to mention the fact that is was so good, my fiance and I were practically licking the bowl! All the food was wonderful, you must try the tortilla pie. Furthermore, the portion sizes are big enough for two people - sometihng you rarely find in the big apple! The drinks were divine - must try the pommegranite margaritas and mimosa's! So, need I say more - hurry and get to Rosa! You wont be sorry! Pros: Great Location, Amazing Service, Generous portions more

Great Gourmet Mexican 1/2/2003

This Lincoln Center find serves up consistent, delicately prepared fare. For those who feel that Mexican restaurants are no good unless the chips and salsa is waiting for you on the table, and everything is smothered in jack cheese, this may not be the place for you. But if you are looking to experience an incredible meal full of interesting flavors served in a wonderful space, Rosa is highly recommended. And definitely try the guac, it's fantastic! more

arrogant service,overpriced 12/30/2002

Food was great, but service was pushy and arrogant. We sensed the waiter felt he was doing us a favour by serving us and the service charge was automatically, but incorrectly added to our check. We expect far more for the money, and will not go back, in spite of the food. Pros: good food, nice space Cons: overpriced, arrogant staff more

A Great First Date 10/30/2002

To impress a first date with a amazing looking restaurant that has awesome food and pretty good service try Rosa Mexicana near Lincoln Center. Start with the Gaucamole, you'll be happy you did, she'll be impressed with the surroundings and the more than ample amount of space. All of the Entrees are great, but for dessert get the Mango dish, it's really good. After dinner walk by the lit up fountain in Lincoln Center for the first kiss. Trust me, it's a sure bet! Pros: Beautiful, Great Food, Cool Neighborhood more

360 Degrees of Greatness 10/30/2002

What a gorgeous restaurant! The service was pretty good, and the food was Amazing! Of course we started with the Tri-State famous Guacamole, then had traditional style appetizers, followed by Gourmet entrees that were delicious. For dessert we had the Flan and the Mango dish, which I'd rate up there with Red Eye Grills Banana Cream Pie, it was scrumptious! A great expirience all the way around. We loved it! Pros: Delicious Fare, Great Menu, Gorgeous Location more

Simply Awful 10/17/2002

Overpriced, with overbearing service and poor food. You will only get chips if you order guacamole. Its tasty but not spectacular. The rest of the meal was bland (i had mole) and not particulary interesting (my husband had the filet mignon and it was just steak, which was poorly cooked). The waiters only appeared to try to sell you more drinks. A total disappointment. Pros: Waterfall Cons: Expensive, Bad food more

Teriffic! 10/14/2002

When I first sat down, I noticed that I wasn't squished, and on top of my neighbor like many other New York establishments. For appetizers, ordering Quacamole is a must. They make it fresh right at your table, so even non-avocado fans (me) will enjoy it. My dinner was a perfectly done Filet Mignon with a wild mushroom tequila sauce. They have wonderful desserts as well, but what was different was there extensive list of after dinner drinks. I've never seen so many ways to mix coffe and hot chocolate with liquor. The waitstaff isn't stuffy. The armosphere is great, including the waterfill which just has to be seen to be believed. A wonderful choice for any occasion. Pros: Great Food, Fun Atmosphere, Great drinks Cons: Expensive, Hard to get a table more

an experience 8/6/2002

The guacamole is truly out of this world and their margaritas are a treat too, the rest of the meal is better than average, but not by much. If you don't mind dropping a small fortune, you won't be disappointed in your meal here. Pros: best guacamole, great margaritas Cons: expensive more

Be careful 7/29/2002

The portions are miniscule and expensive. Although what little was on my plate was delicious, it seemed too little for what I paid. Oh, and the guac was amazing!! Excellent margaritas, but again, very small in context of what I was paying. One major complaint was the pushy service. Completely tried to upsell EVERYTHING on the menu. Handed the menu, and went on a ten minute tangent about what he suggested...and it wasn't even sincere...just scripted off of what a ""manual"" must have said. Also, make SURE you get a seat upstairs!! more

Holy guacamole!! 6/6/2002

Yes, I know the title is cheesy, but its the best guacamole I've ever had!! Watch out for the pomegranate margaritas. Good, but very strong and can induce a raging hangover. Good scene for the thirty something crowd. more

The Real Thing 5/15/2002

I've been here a few times now and the last time was the best. The guacamole is an appetizer for a reason--it doesn't get any better. Filet mignon is excellent, as are the little quesadillas. I think some people who come here don't like it because they're used to Americanized Mexican--this is as close to the real thing as you'll get in New York. more
