And last, but not least, the pomegranate Margarita's enhanced our meal. We shall return!6/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGuacamole heaven!We re-visited Rosa Mexicano (the East side one) fo our 59th wedding anniversary. It was just as good as ever. Guacamole specially prepared at the table, gracious service. My chicken enchiladas in mole sauce were delicious, comfortably spicy. We had asked for a quiet area, and were given a lovely table in one of the calmer rooms. Our waiter never hurried us, and was attentive. We were treated to a glass of champagne at the end of the meal when the waiter found out this was a special celebration for us.5/30/2013 12:00:00 AMA Great Night OutI live in Seattle, so I begin thinking about Rosa Mexicano's Pomegranate Margaritas, guacamole, and short ribs when I board the plane.

The upper west side location is more pleasant.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMLet's be honnest, I m reallyLet's be honnest, I m really not a specialist of Mexican food and I don't know what is "typical" or not, yet what I got it this restaurant was far from what I got in the other mexican restaurants I went before ! Ok I admit we began with a guacamole, prepared right in front of us that was perfect way to begin but the Mexico City Street Salad with Barbecued Tuna Loin was outstanding ! Fresh, tasty, Piquante but not too much, just perfect ! And according to the reaction of my GF while eating her Shrimp Brochette, this was a winner too ! This experience was worth the 30 minutes walk we took to go there from our Hotel !3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food and service. PassoverGood food and service.

We got the famous guacamole, which was delectable and nice strong margaritas. Our entrees were great, but the whole experience was outstanding due to our waiter Jay. He was the best server I've had in a long time! He let us take our time, made suggestions and even made a special drink for my friend. Jay was the perfect combination of knowledge, attentiveness, and respect. Thanks to Jay for making our evening very enjoyable!3/10/2013 12:00:00 AMNot as large and fancy asNot as large and fancy as their sister restaurant at Lincoln Square, but just as good.
