    I was so very happy one of my favorite restaurants was still around!! Love love love the food here and even though 3 people shared 2 meals, we were still stuffed when leaving here. The staff was extremely nice, and even though we were 45 minutes late, they were able to fit us in, so appreciated that. The service was amazing. the restaurant is lovely and packed like true Mid-town NY restaurants. They surprised my mama with a song and free dessert to celebrate her birthday. The whole restaurant joined in, so nice. The food is amazing!!! I don't think they have a bad dish. My mama enjoyed which did my heart good because it's a favorite of mine and after so many years, it's still amazing . Totally recommend !! We for some reason got hooked on the hibiscus pomegranate iced tea. Yummy yum yum.

    We had a group reservation and somehow the person at front was still confused. The food was okay nothing spectacular. I wished they kept to original flavors and tried to be so creative. The empanadas were soggy and flavor didn't hit. The ginger beer mocktail was bitter. It's a pass for me.

    We chose this place for brunch, as it was close to where we needed to be. My friend has been to their other location and said it was good. We had reservations and there was a party ahead of us at the entrance. No greeting or acknowledgment from the hostess upon entrance (red flag). She seated the other party and very lackadaisically returned to her booth to finally acknowledge our presence. She seated us with menus but no brunch menu even though it was still brunch time. I had to ask the waiter for it. Took a while to get order in. We ordered two apps and one entree to share. Took even longer for our food to arrive. We ordered: Nachos - they were ok Fried calamari - overly salty, slightly fishy, and COLD Chile relleno - underwhelming, lukewarm Hibiscus pomegranate iced tea - tasted like grenadine water. Zero pomegranate or hibiscus flavor. Also, different prices between brunch and regular menu. We were charged regular menu price. Overall, super underwhelming and not worth your time or money. Chipotle would've been better than this.

    I walk by here all the time but finally stopped in for dinner. My friend made a reservation and thank god he did! I didn't expect it to be so packed as it was. We were seated in the back room - I didn't know they had a back room. We got: - Margarita - frozen Aperol spritz - Ahi tuna taquitos: it came with 4 servings and these were tasty! - birria tacos: it came with 3 tacos and dipping sauce. I found it to be flavorful and filling. - seafood/chicken enchilada: my friend liked this and got Mexican rice on the side. Our meal came with complimentary chips and salsa. I had a great experience and was pleasantly surprised by how much I did enjoy my meal. Our server was great too.

    I was happy to find same day seats here. The location is very convenient. The food servings are generous and the dishes are so fresh and tasty. Easy to find enough to eat that's fresh- I don't like being weighed down with fried food. The restaurant is comfortable, colorful, and a great place to stop on the way to the Metropolitan Museum. We enjoyed eating a full meal that wasn't too heavy before taking on a day in the museum. My only regret is that I couldn't try one of their cocktails that looked so tasty. The staff was wearing little ear pieces to communicate, they don't mess around with their communication here. I really enjoy seeing staff who really cares about efficiency. It makes me feel safe in my dining experience. It's Somehow I remember the bathrooms were fun, but I can't recall now in what way I guess you'll just have to stop in and see for yourself. Go for the cocktails!

    Overall, the evening turned out well and the food was excellent. The three of us ordered fajitas and honestly could have shared one or two because the portions were generous. Everything tasted great. Our server was warm, patient, and genuinely welcoming ....the kind of service that makes you feel like you're being hosted in someone's home. He was a highlight of the night. Unfortunately, the experience didn't start that way. I had made a reservation through OpenTable and could clearly see it confirmed on my phone, but the host said she couldn't find it in their system. I completely understand that technology glitches happen ....that wasn't the issue. I was simply trying to show her the reservation so the restaurant might be aware there could be a connection issue between OpenTable and their system. Even after I explained that I wasn't arguing with her, just trying to point out what the customer sees so it could be helpful to the restaurant, she continued to respond in an argumentative way and kept repeating that they didn't have it. The point I was making seemed to be completely missed. Instead of acknowledging the possibility that something might be wrong with the system, the interaction became unnecessarily defensive. It set a negative tone at the start of the evening. Thankfully, the excellent food and our wonderful server completely turned the night around. Because of that, I would absolutely come back. I do hope, however, that the restaurant can help the hostess find a more pleasant and customer-focused way to handle situations like this in the future.

The steak and chicken and grill chorizo was perfectly cook. We also had a michenllata cocktail. I would come back to try more on the menu.

    We had dinner at Rosa Mexicano. Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! We had Fajitas, and Enchiladas. The hibiscus-promagrate tea was fabulous. The waiter gave me a special dessert and everyone sang happy birthday to me. The place was beautifully decorated.

    My friend and I got lunch here yesterday. The chips and salsa are good and so was the queso dip. We also enjoyed the egg and sausage breakfast burrito and my friend got something with avocado and egg I think, which she liked. A lot of food and I found my meal a bit salty but still delicious. Courteous staff, quick service, and super fun decor. Bar, booth, table seating, and outdoor seating as well.

    We came here for brunch and had such a positive experience. We had come with friends that had a baby stroller and they were so accommodating and willing to move us to a bigger booth so we could fit the stroller more comfortably. Service: service was fast and efficient. We didn't feel rushed to order and they checked in on us the right amount of time. Food came out reasonably fast. Ambiance: the vibe here is great. It's well decorated and comfortable. You could easily bring a date here or a group of friends. The booths are also very comfortable. Food: They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa is really good, it's well seasoned and not spicy. I highly recommend the guacamole. It comes freshly made and they let you pick the spice level. Their medium spice is actually medium spicy so I appreciate that consistency. We got the black bean and cheese empanadas and they were really good. I do think it needed a little more salt. We also got the mushroom enchiladas with red sauce. I love how they roasted the mushrooms. The red sauce is also really good. Drink: we got the cucumber refresco. It was really refreshing and not sweet. The mocktails were also reasonably priced, less than $10. Price: the price of dishes is very reasonable especially for the amount of food you're getting.

    Mini Frozen Margarita
    Maria S.

    This place deserves a way higher rating! The happy hour is great. The mini frozen margarita and complimentary chips and salsa were a perfect way to start the evening. My friends and I loved the enchiladas (I had the seafood ones), the tacos, and the tableside guacamole. Service was outstanding at both the bar and the table. The vibe is fun too!

    I had this place bookmarked for a while. Finally came for my birthday dinner. It was a rainy…read moreevening and I was hoping there'd be umbrella sleeves offered. I didn't see any but saw buckets for umbrellas. I opted not to leave it there since I didn't wanna forget or risk someone taking it. I took it upstairs with me. My friend had arrived and was seated. Apparently, they do offer sleeves because she got one. But the 3 people who were at the hostess booth failed to offer me one. The beautiful ambiance will get your attention immediately. It is a stunning space. The tableware was gorgeous as well. We waited for our last friend to arrive who was almost half an hour late before ordering (we thought she'd arrive sooner). Our server, Matias was gracious about it the whole time. What we ordered: Drinks: Passionfruit Margaritas & Mojito - we were happy with them. Tlayudas, Guacamole y Salsas - this was really good and a great option for the table to share. The homemade chips alone were excellent. Liked all the different dips. Guac could've used some cilantro and more acid/spice. Tán Ceviche - I loved this. Super fresh and great flavor. Could use a touch of acid. My entree was the Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas - This was pretty good. The sauce could've used some spice and some acid to cut through the richness. My friend ordered the Yellow Corn Soup as part of her meal and she did not like it. She said it was too sweet which I thought was strange. I tried a spoonful and I agreed with her. It needed a savory note and again, acid would've done wonders. Also, the crab was a bit fishy in this. She enjoyed her tamal though. I tried a touch of the sauce and it was delish. My other friend had the Quesabirria which she was also happy with. To sum up: Ambiance: 5/5 The space is undoubtedly gorgeous. Food: 4/5 Beautiful presentation on everything but each dish lacks an element or two to make it a home run. Staff: Wait staff 5/5. Downstairs staff (greeters/hostess) 4/5. Needs to be more on point like offering customers sleeves for umbrellas or pointing out the buckets to put them in. At some point through our entrees a group of 3 women were doing a 10-minute photo shoot by the stairway where our table was. Absolutely inappropriate behavior and a manager should've stopped it. Camera flashes all up in our faces while we're eating wasn't cool. Overall, still a great elevated Mexican cuisine option. The slight tweaks would make this a 5 star place for me. I'd return to try more things.

    What a GORGEOUS space. Whoever interior decorated this restaurant deserves their tens because it is…read morea spectacle. I had only seen daytime pics, but being there in the evening is a treat. If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.
