    The portions of food seem smaller and price is higher, they were out of flour tortillas at 530pm, and the service was lacking, drinks sat empty for some time. Ambiance was nice and restaurant is kid friendly.

Please let us know the earliest you can return and I will see to it that you have a 5 Star experience with us! Thank you again for your feedback and understanding, Kris Swenson General Manager Rosa Mexicano Riverside

    Happy to have found a Rosa Mexicano on our trip to northern NJ. Found the ambiance to not be smart casual (as advertised or like the National Harbor or DC restaurants). But we go for the table side guac!

    Margarita was served in a very small plastic cup filled with ice. Not exactly what I was expecting on Cinco de mayo. Other than that the food was good

    Service and food were great as usual. Our family likes that they do more unique Mexican dishes and usually are running a discount or coupon in restaurant.
