Hungry Guest Beware! 98% underwhelmed. The service and food did not do this restaurant justice for the all the tik tok reviews I saw. The tacos should have been taquitos (the size of mini tacos in kid cuisines), yes I'm a '90s baby the consume for the Barria tacos lacked flavor and the service honestly was subpar. We sat outside and waited 2 hours (after ordering) to get our food to consume in 5min because of hunger. We were told the executive chef shut the kitchen down , saw bus boys gasp at the amount of time it took for guest to get food and a table next to us wait longer for a SALAD. Only upside was the discount we got on the bill and the pomegranate margarita. If this is what a Monday looks like beware of this location on Taco Tuesday or weekend night. We should have saved time, money and gas and stayed in Collegeville and went to Tortugas. read more

We went here for my son's birthday dinner. It was his choice. My son and his 2 sisters loved it, but what kid don't like any restaurant food. The parents weren't super impressed. The server was kinda of dropping the ball, he rebounded in the last quarter barely. The food was basic. Nothing about it made me feel like "oh my goodness this is delicious". It was ok. I enjoyed myself because of the reason we where there. My son and all of us being together was a great time. I won't be pressed to go back. read more

Don't recommend, me and my sister got sick from the food here and service placed us outside even though we wanted to be inside and there was plenty of spaces. After waiting 15 mins outside with no service we went inside to check and they gave us a seat inside. Either they forgot about us and communication was unclear read more

Foooooood poisoning* Nothing against the workers but my chicken tortilla soup tasted like hot water with salt and pepper, at least throw some cumin in there. Also Spanish rice isn't boiled it's fried, I've had frozen dinners that have had better rice than this. Another thing I ordered was chicken verde enchiladas and that was mildly raw!!!! I wouldn't have seen it had I not sat outside. Now I'm trying not to throw up in bed. I literally can't even go to work and my husband is also feeling the same. I'd go for the drinks or the chips and salsa. Everything else wasn't even mid it was awful. I'm not really one to complain but I feel like complete crap . Other than that the ambiance and aesthetics were hitting and were on point and clean. But for the love of G-d get someone that can actually cook in the kitchen. YouTube how to make these meals. I'm not saying avoid this place but don't have high expectations for the food, especially if you've got a hint of Latina in you like me I would've rated it 3/5 but I'm in bed now sick . You can't be in this kind of neighborhood giving food that's mid. It's giving bland. Rośa I know you know better who taught you how to make this rice???? Your rice isn't ricing. My Abuela would be so mad. This is an insult to our culture. read more

i've been here a few times and it's always delivered!! i don't normally order queso but theirs has to be my favorite! absolutely delicious!! love their margaritas too great service too!! read more

This review hurts after previous meals at NYC location where you truly felt you were at the crossroads of ambiance and flavor. While this location is still relatively new, there is a lot to be figured out. With a party of 5 and an empty restaurant, we were seated at a small wobbly table twice. The signature table side guacamole was a fun experience, until we started eating it and every person at the table needed lime and salt for some flavor. The birria tacos also lacked flavor and were a let down. The enchilada sampler had a bit more flavor, but were nothing special. read more

The server was very nice and it was beautiful inside. Such a great setup the way it's spread out and different decor in every room. However the food was not worth the price. My friend ordered a seafood dish that was inedible- the sauce tasted burnt and this permeated the entire meal. I ordered the enchiladas and they were okay nothing special. The rice seemed like it came from a minute made bag. We are not particular people by any means, but the food was so poor that I wouldn't come back. read more

Food was unseasoned and didn't live up to my expectations. I liked this place in NY but was disappointed trying this location. I liked besito and was looking forward to another good mexican restaurant in this space. They do have a nice outdoor space and in a pinch I would give them Another chance. Hopefully since this is new, they will step up the food a little bit. read more

The ambiance was superb! Being a nice night we decided to eat outside where there were beautiful flowers everywhere. We were also serenaded by a guitarist who played a variety of songs we enjoyed. However, our server, although polite, was extremely forgetful. I ordered sour cream for my steak tacos, but had to remind him twice about it & was 3/4 done with my meal by the time he brought it & was still charged extra for it on my bill. My daughter ordered from the kids menu which included dessert which she never got. I also ordered a soda which I asked him for 3 times & never did receive. Food was on the pricey side, but the portions were larger than expected so I was ok with that. What I was surprised at & disappointed with was how bland the food was! Now neither my daughter or I like spicy hot food, so I did request that anything spicy be removed from our order (jalapeños, etc.), but there should still be flavor (salt, onions, garlic....something!), but there was none. I thought that maybe it was just the steak on my taco, so I tried my daughters chicken which looked perfect, not overcooked & dry, just extremely bland. Regardless, we had a very nice time & enjoyed our surroundings & the music. read more

Great service. Dan was a quick help to our needs. Great prices and food. We went on a Monday and the 5$ drink special added to our experience. Well made drinks and fine atmosphere. Me and the girlfriend will be back again. P.S. their queso is out of this world. read more

We came here this past Saturday night with another couple, after my wife and the other woman had been here for a good lunch not too long ago. We were seated upon arrival and the server stopped by, he was a very personable and pleasant guy. He brought chips & salsa, both were underwhelming, the chips were commercial and pretty much tasteless and the salsa was as bland as a can of chopped tomatoes alone! Both parties started out sharing salads, they had Caesar & we had chopped and they were actually quite good and we should have stopped right there. We had Guacamole from the guacamole cart, made at the table. It was a tiny & very bland failure. Our main courses were: Wife: A half roasted chicken with rice and plantains, not good. Chicken was tiny and for some reason there was hardly any white meat, Mole sauce was just okay. My Carnitas were disgusting, they came in a bowl drowning in grease, there was about 1/3 of an inch of it, and the carnitas were in chunks, rather than pulled. Gross! Our friends had Tacos, hers were steak, she said they were pretty much okay, His were shrimp. From what I saw, not only was his portion of shrimp tiny & looked pretty dry, but both portions were quite tiny and not becoming to what Rosa Mexicano holds itself out to be. We passed on dessert, as we will probably pass on future visits! Obviously not recommended! read more

Great atmosphere. Great food. Good times. David was our server. I highly recommend him. He is very polite and spor on with his recommendations. read more

Rosa Mexicano - June's Pride Margarita and table side guacamole topped with pineapple. - Mexican Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Was really excited to try this place considering how much we loved Bestio. Wait staff is still very clearly new, and the bar is NOT a full bar. My fiancé asked for a scotch and soda (he's not a tequila person, but humors me when I want to go to a Mexican restaurant). No scotch. Rum and coke was attempted next. No rum. Our waiter told us they only have tequila, wine and beer. The bottle of rum we saw on the bar was apparently for decor and not available. Food was ok. Lacked flavor and needed to ask for extra salt. The tacos are miniature (like, one or two bites to finish). Had to ask multiple people for a refill on our chips since we ordered a double guac. Overall, save your money and go to El Limon read more

Ina was our waitress, she was amazing, kind, & helpful. The food was fabulous and everyone from hostess to food runner was so friendly. Really fun, and relaxing experience. Definitely will return and highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Delicious food, delightful setting! We had the most wonderful evening last night - quacamole made tableside, enchiladas of duck, beef and chicken with creative and yummy sauces, chicken quesadillas, along with classic, well made magueritas. The wait staff and servers, especially our waitress Ina, were so friendly and efficient, making us feel like special guests. We even got to meet Chef Gloria on our way out, who was doing a fantastic job in the kitchen on this very busy Sunday night. One can choose from outside seating, open air seating in the front room, or tables and booths in the large festive dining room inside. A big thumbs up for Rosa Mexicana! We can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu and the list of exotic margueritas! read more

Came here after hearing plenty of good reviews online and seeing this place on tik tok. And I'm definitely disappointed, food was very much mid. I got tacos and street corn, the tacos came in three and were each about the size of my palm. The chicken was very dry and burnt. The street corn wasn't bad but seemed to be more of a soup? I would consider coming back if it wasn't so expensive, but for the price its totally not worth it. The staff was very sweet although service was too slow considering it wasn't very busy. read more

The service was awful. We waited almost two hours on Mother's Day! They comped half of our bill, but it still but a damper on our day.

I'm a Mexican from Los Angeles, and I approve this restaurant! I'm not saying it's super authentic or super delicious, but it was very good. This place is located in a nice part of town and the atmosphere is great. We sat at a bar high top and ordered shrimp ceviche, quest, tampiqueno (asada) , and cheese enchiladas. All were very good. And the service was exceptional. Danny G & Danny M were very attentive. We will definitely come back when we're in town again. read more

Israel was our waiter and was so great! Food was amazing, highly recommend the nachos

Our waitress Zena was amazing. Honestly best service I've had in ages! She was fast and remembered everything we needed. The guac was 10/10.

We normally frequent Rosa Mexicali Rests. wherever we are. The Ardmore one is local. I feel like I finally have to speak up. This one is not up to par and has not been since pandemic. The service and food are not like others we've been to in NYC for example. Yesterday we ate there. Our actual server was very good (Dan I think) I brought to servers attn. that there was something off about my crispy chicken torta (rubbery, tasted odd, didn't eat more than 1/4 of sandwich. Dan apologized and gave me a coupon for free quac. This was a $19 item. I GOT SICK AS SOON AS I GOT HOME AND FOR THE LAST 24HRS W/ GASTRIC SYMPTOMS. They really need to step up at this restaurant, food is inconsistent, service except for Dan has been consistently lacking. A server not serving our table was pounding and making noise behind us and continued to do so even though we asked her not to. Hope they fix this so we dont have to go elsewhere. We've given them many chances. read more

We had a delicious meal and wonderful service by Bintou. We especially loved the assortment of desserts!

We really looked forward to trying Rosa Mexicano... it's a beautiful space with a lively atmosphere. The waiter described the food as "cutting edge" Mexican. Well, having traveled extensively in Mexico and dined in some truly "cutting edge" restaurants, especially in Mexico City, I got excited. That excitement ended with the first sip of the margarita, which was hardly exceptional and certainly overpriced. Then the food arrived, cold. We won't return and are very disappointed that this Suburban Square location seems to go from one lackluster restaurant after another. read more

I dined at Rosa Mexicano on Saturday, July 16th with my best friend for dinner. We ordered the pomegranate frozen margarita, lump crab guacamole & shrimp ceviche (appetizer), Salmon Pipian & Tampiquena (entrée), with a side of Plantains & Sweet Corn. I left the restaurant feeling fine with my left overs in hand. However, later that night into the morning I spent HOURS in the bathroom vomiting, stomach cramps, headache, etc. My best friend reached out to me the next morning (prior to finding out that I was very sick) to let me know that she was experiencing extreme heartburn. I then informed her of my illness. We thought maybe it was just the drinks. However, my boyfriend (not attributing my illness to the food) tried some of my leftovers the next day and is now experiencing some of the same symptoms as well. Needless to say, dining here has left us with FOOD POISONING. Something told me to look at the reviews this morning and to my surprise I found 3 other instances where customers have complained of food poisoning after dinging at this establishment. Due to the number of reviews now citing food poisoning from this establishment, I would highly suggest the restaurant take measures to find out what's causing patrons to become ill after visiting. read more

Had a great experience here. The food was delicious, ambience was beautiful and our server was attentive. First of all, Suburban Square is a great location. I wish there were more restaurants and/or bars in this spot. Rosa Mexicano is very inviting. The restaurant is decorated beautifully. As for our food, we had the spicy shrimp (delicious) and the mixed grill (also delicious). The portions on these two items were also huge. We took half of it home. All in all, a perfect dining experience. I would definitely return. read more

Poor customer service from staff. I cant speak to the food because I left before I could even try the food. Went here on veterans with my sister. We are both veterans and were out celebratinh veterans day when we ended up here to be treated poorly and verbally thereatened by the woman bartender working this night due to a mistake she made on our bar bill. read more

Najmahes is the best!!! Come to Rosa Mexicana if you want great service! Baked Chicken

Two stars bc we didn't actually get a chance to try the food. After being seated and waiting 15 min on a warm Saturday night, without so much as our waters filled let alone the opportunity to place a drink order we split. It was too noisy and warm to sit waiting with no server in site. read more

The atmosphere is absolutely amazing. Table side guacamole is by far the best I have ever eaten. The food is above delicious. The service is wonderful and the manager is very personable. I can't say anything negative about this establishment. 5+ stars from me. read more

I'm pleased to report that Rosa Mexicano has gotten its act together. After posting a negative review, we've now had three good meals with very nice service. There seem to be more servers and capable front of the house managers making this now the Main Line's go to place for more upscale Mexican food. read more

This was the worst experience and biggest disappointment. We arrived on time for our reservation and we're waiting around for over 30 minutes with about six other groups also waiting. We offered to go to the bar to grab a drink while we waited and the margaritas were way too sweet, almost undrinkable. While At the bar I heard a woman complaining that her food and drinks were terrible and she was asking for her money back and left. At one point while we were waiting the host came up to me and asked if he could take my barstool to give it to another customer. When we said we were waiting for a table he looked annoyed and we said ok fine we will just leave and the host didn't even care or offer a solution. At that point we were so shocked we walked out and thank god we did. read more

So disappointed. The décor was really nice but the lighting was so bad you couldn't read the menu.. First, I ask that the drink come with light ice and it was 3\4 ice. If the drink was to have alcohol, one never would have known it! I too expensive not to get something that at least there is a taste of alcohol, even a hint.The the starters came and both the empanadas and quesadillas were cold, not even warm but cold!! Then it took a good 30 minutes for the entrees. First they bring out something I didn't order and the they bring the tacos and of course they were cold. To top it off the tacos were so small and lacked of any flavor and mushy. Saw this restaurant on TV and was so excited to try it! But in reality it wasn't worth the expense especially to be served cold food. read more

We wanted to love it, but we did not enjoy our lunch there. The ambiance, service, and food were all just ok and not worth our time and money. We ate outside and there was no shade at all- no umbrellas, awnings, etc. Service was slow and lacked basic check in after we started eating to see if we needed anything (and we did- basic salt and acid to flavor the food). Mexican food is usually our favorite, but this was so bland and disappointing. We had a salad that was supposed to have corn, tomatoes, and peppers in it and we had to hunt for them and squint because the size and amount was so scant. It was basically lettuce with some chicken and avocado. I had mushroom tacos. The tacos are miniature. They came with rice and beans and the rice had some cilantro on it, so that was my favorite. We had nachos and they were cold! They also were individual chips with toppings and there weren't many. read more

I was expecting more. They're over priced and the food is mediocre. They also didn't have all of their liquor and didn't know what the happy hour would be when they start it in a few weeks. I think they should have waited to open because they were also severely understaffed. We couldn't get a table in the dining room because I was told that the restaurant was fully booked. However, as my party and I sat in the bar area for almost 2 hours we saw more tables remain empty and were never seated. I will think twice about coming back. I've been to better Mexican restaurants. I miss the one that was in this location before the pandemic- Besito. Much better service, friendly staff and delicious food worth the price. read more

Upscale and definitely worth it. Very unique attention to detail. I've seen a lot of reviews that say the cocktails are over priced but I feel like it's the opposite. read more

Went there for drinks and dinner with friends. The drinks are good. And the table side guacamole is good (but pricey) so I give two stars for that. Maybe your best bet is happy hour with this place. But.... The dinner was sub par. The salad I ordered was supposed to have chicken, avocado and radish. What I got was a LOT of lettuce, 3 tiny slivers of radish, two thin slices of avocado and 5 small pieces of chicken that might have amounted to one chicken tender. I don't need huge portions but this was ridiculous - especially at a dinner salad price. My friend found her food bland as well. Another friend also got salad and said it had no taste. Good thing you get chips to fill up on. I know it's hard to find servers these days and I don't fault the staff but clearly they need more training. In such a new place you'd think the manager would be walking around and surveying. Nope. It's a pity because it's a nice looking place (although loud) but with this food it won't last. I hope they improve it for their sake. read more

Friendly staff and management. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was busy yet cozy. I've been back twice and will be going again for sure read more

Estaba allí el martes. Mi camarero era muy bueno, así como esta joven de pelo rubio que se ocupaba de las mesas. Cuando necesitaba algo como más patatas fritas u otra cosa , ella realmente estaba enfocado en todo y me lo daba con una sonrisa. Tienen un personal realmente encantador y una comida increíble. Definitivamente recomendaría ir read more

3 of us had late lunch/ early dinner. The good: the guacamole and lime tart were absolutely delicious. The enchiladas and shrimp tacos were both good. The bad: My camarones al mojo de ago would have been OK but it was so over salted that you might have thought the entire shaker was dropped into it and the hot sauce that was served on the side with the tacos should have had a warning issued with it. Had my wife poured it on the tacos w/o testing it she could never have eaten them. Hotter than pure tabasco. Service was pleasant and efficient. read more
