Like usual in NYC, the storefront is relatively skinny and packed to the brim with diners, so I would recommend always getting a reservation. With a party of 8, we explored various dishes on the menu with everyone leaving in a positive tone. Each dish was filling, tastey and unique. Even the "standard" red salsa was nothing but, packed with flavor and spice. Any breakfast sandwich is worthy of a second trip but the star of the meal were the kolaches.... Please order a kolache. So sweet, so unique, yet perfectly balanced with dough.

We went to Yellow Rose because of the lore, the mystique, and the promise of Tex-Mex. My partner…read moreand I are Mexican Americans from Texas, and not just any part of Texas... the border, less than a mile from the Mother Land of the Mexica. In the early mornings, after drunken benders that lasted until the wee hours of the morning, we felt the pangs for breakfast tacos, authentic burritos, and greasy plates loaded with huevos à la Mexicana, frijoles, and rice. Mexican diners along the border were headquarters and we were the fucking Mexican Power Rangers. For us, the term "Tex-Mex" was worse than a misnomer. It was a Yankee term used pejoratively to describe The Great Beyond, the Abyss that stares back, except we are the Abyss, seething, yearning for nuance and complexity in Gringolandia. We left Yellow Rose with that same yearning, asking ourselves "What the hell was that?" Chips were stale, a forgivable offense if the salsas are good, which they weren't. They were sweet and flavorless. The mole was gross and my version of good mole comes from a glass container, sold in bulk at Mexican grocery stores, admittedly offensive to the great moles or Oaxaca. What does that tell you? Imagine if Michael Jackson had an impersonator. Now imagine the impersonators impersonator. What do you even call that? It's not a cheap imitation. It's your drunken uncle "moonwalking" to Three Doors Down. He's at his local dive bar, it's closing time and he's crying while half drinking a beer. I love you unc, but it's time to go home. Now, I know what you're thinking. Who does this Mexican think he is, what gives him the right, and wHy iS hE sO mEaN? Let me just say that these questions are stupid and I won't entertain them. Do I have a well thought out response? Yes. Am I lazy? Watch it there, buddy. Texas (once called Tejas before gringos took it over) is a liminal space, a Mexican state colonized not by the US, but by Taco Tuesdays, your racist aunt who DoorDashes green enchiladas on Saturdays and scoffs at Mexican gardeners on Sundays, and the bipedal ancestors of Governor Greg Abbott. The food, however, is beautiful, from the swampy wetlands of Houston to the blistering desert heat of El Paso--Mexican food has a unique expression anywhere you land. Yellow Rose is your drunken uncle. It's closing time. He doesn't have to go home but he has to get the fuck out of here.

Apparently, there's usually a SUPER long line, but we got lucky, even though it was around 6PM, we walked right in without having to wait in line! The ordering process was pretty simple: place your order, get your ticket, hand it over, and wait for your tacos, " No Ticket No Tacos!" We ordered Carne Asada (grilled steak), Pollo Asado (grilled chicken), and Adobada (marinated pork), all on corn tortillas and "con todo," which comes with onion, cilantro, salsa, and guacamole. We also got Horchata drink, which was the perfect refreshing drink (not too sweet) to go with the tacos. Everything came out quickly, which was exactly what we needed before our show. Such a fun and delicious NYC taco stop!

Carne Asada dish was smoky and savory. Overall, recommend!

Nothing special about it at all, it's like they forgot how to make the flavors pop. One thing I didn't like in my other visits was that the spicy version of the guac was not spicy and very bland. The other options weren't appealing to me to I tried it again. Not spicy and very bland. At least they're consistent here. Salsa was different and also bland, which is hard to do with salsa. On the plus side, I love a perfectly fried chip, and they nail the chips here. Spicy Kale was decent. Service was...passable.

I really enjoyed the smoky chicken taco and ordered another one. For the pair they were $11. Which I thought was quite reasonable compared to the other prices. The dining area was quite large, and the bar was fully stocked. We sat in a booth which was a nice touch. Ines was an excellent waitress and answered any questions that we had.

I'm newish to NFL football and im a brand brand new Packers's fan thanks to my partner converting me. Not only did he manage to make me fall in love with him, but he also got me to fall in love with football. Like legitimately. Had you told me id be watching all the football games even 3 years ago, id have laughed at you. Anyway, so this was his first time ever in NYC and it was important for us not to miss the game so the fact that we found a Packers bar for the game was amazing. We arrived slightly after the game started but right at the first Packers touchdown and the place was packed to the brim. We made our way to the other side of the bar and there was a bit more wiggle room there so that's where we made ourselves comfortable for the rest of the game. I started off with Shirley Temples and then converted to beers. We ordered cheese curds (so freaking good) and wings (very meh) to eat. After the game we wanted to order more cheese curds but they had run out. That made me so sad. I had never been to a Packers bar before but I am so glad that I am a Packers fan because I swear that they are the best fans. Everyone is so unbelievably nice (49ers fans on the other hand ....). I will definitely be back for a game!!
