A word from Rosa Mexicano - National Harbor

In 1984, Rosa Mexicano set a new standard for Mexican cuisine when it first opened on the upper east side of New York City. Playing a leading role in defining what was then a "new" cuisine to American diners, Rosa Mexicano delivers authentic Mexican cooking in an accessible, stylishly festive… atmosphere. Rosa Mexicano's menu features a range of award-winning signature dishes, including our Guacamole en Molcajete, in a traditional lava rock mortar. Described by Time Out New York as "green ecstasy in a stone bowl," it is prepared table side and served with house made chips, warm corn tortillas and condiment salsas. Rosa Mexicano is also known for the Frozen Pomegranate Margarita, as well as the stylish and festive ambiance that includes an illuminated water wall.Continued

"Service was good and we were seated quickly. The food was not great - dry chicken, overcooked tortillas, lacking flavor, etc. We would have rather spent significantly less and gone to Peri-Peri again for great food."

"Easter Brunch was great overloking the Potomac River and harbor at National Harbor in Maryland. It was nice to be able to make a reservation. Service was slow. The dessert took long than the main dish to arrive and we ordered ice cream and a premade milk cake. The food the very good."

"We had a great time for our second night of Passover and truly appreciated the special menu! We have been to Rosa Mexicano at Penn Quarter many times, but this was our first time at National Harbor. The dining room was beautiful, food terrific, service awesome, and I was happy to see, business was booming! Coming from Fairfax I think of this location as harder to get to, but would go here again unless we are going to Penn Quarter for another event also."

"I did a last minute reservation for a window seat. I got my favorite table! Open table is the way to reserve! Yay.

Food was good. Service good. Nothing outstanding - for an $80.00 LUNCH."

"Food is always great. I have been in the one in d.c. And that one is very nice. The national harbor is beautiful but prefer to have a nicer seaeting near the window. Mentioned on the reservation that it was my wedding anniversary and request a table near the window. I guess they didn't read my note and got a table somewhere else. Overall service was good and love the food, especially the guacamole. Highly Recommend the resturante."
