A word from Rosa Mexicano - Union Square
Just blocks away from Manhattan’s lively Union Square, our third New York location provides a warm and vibrant setting for our award-winning authentic Mexican cuisine. Designed by David Rockwell, the restaurant features architectural accents inspired by the late, famed Mexican architect, Luis… Barragan. The internally illuminated electric-blue tiled water wall features cliff diver figurines and candles among the cascading water to separate the bar from the main dining room. Warm terracotta and yellow colors with hot pink accents are featured throughout the restaurant as well as traditional, one-of-a-kind Mexican crafts, fabrics and artwork. This combination creates the perfect backdrop for the festive atmosphere and innovative Mexican cuisine of Rosa Mexicano. Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "Nice atomosphere, good food (especially the guacamole) and New York prices. Our waiter was friendly but not terribly attentive. I would probably return however."
    Dined on 7/27/2014
  • "The guacamole made at your table is delicious. The service is friendly and efficient, and the drinks are good. Our fish main dishes were not balanced; the maui maui was overcooked, but the salmon was cooked perfectly. The sides of black beans and rice were made to perfection."

  • "The good was great but customer service was horrible, we felt rushed to hurry and eat and leave."

  • "I like Mexican food in general, but now I found the place for it. We came as a party of 4 and everything we ordered was great. In addition they have a gluten free menu, which was awesome, I didn't have to question every item on the menu, it makes the whole experience so much easier and nicer."

  • "We had a family visiting from Brazil with 4 children. Rosa Mexicana was perfect. The kids menu was great - their meals even came with ice cream!! The staff was lovely. They had the children help make the guacamole - and they loved it."

  • "The food I ordered was off of the pre-fixe menu, it was great! No complaints, It was very tasty and spicy. The restaurant was very vibrant, it seemed like a very happy place. At the end I was a bit disappointed with our hostess, she didn't show any form of appreciation. It would of been nice to hear a thank you, it was a pleasure having you or she didn't inquire about our experience overall. We had minimum conversation with her during the time we were there. We all placed our order at the same time and went back to conversing. When she picked up the check from the table, she looked forward & took the check with her right hand. Avoiding eye contact with us, that was weird. She was given the suggested tip on the receipt."

  • "This has been a favorite of ours, much better than its previous use as the America restaurant back in early 2000s. We have come here several times in the past, the food has always been great. The scene is lively and conducive to a great dinner experience. We tend to come here with some friends as the more the merrier."

  • "The guacamole is their hero product and pretty delicious albeit the price tag is a touch inflated. The tacos for their taco and tequilla special were really amazing, I had a few as appetizers which may have set the bar too high for the entrees as I was underwhelmed. The chile relleno and steak taco entrees were good, just not great. Chile Mango marg is highly recommended."
    Dined on 7/5/2014
  • "If you order nothing else, the Guacamole made in front of you is why you go to Rosa Mexicano. Don't miss it."
    Dined on 7/3/2014
  • "Rosa Mexicano is a great place for the tex mex type of cuisine. Its large and slightly noisy but works well for office gatherings and not for intimate moments. The guacamole was lip smacking good. The service was a sbit slow but it was a busy night. Works as a great meeting place, well located."
    Dined on 7/2/2014
  • "Great service, unique flavors, now one of our Must Go spots in NYC!"
    Dined on 7/2/2014
  • "That's how we feel when I treat my family to dinner there. The waitstaff is personable, attentive and helpful, the food is always delicious and the atmosphere is festive. The changing menu keeps things fresh and exciting. We have never ordered a drink or dish that we didn't love and want to share. We also have a member of our party with severe food allergies, and this is one of the few restaurants that is knowledgeable about serving safe food so we can all relax and enjoy a good time. This is where I always arrange to meet our daughters for a family meal in the city, and it's always a hit."
    Dined on 7/2/2014

  • "I was blown away by this place! The waiter was very helpful and gave people in my group lots of good suggestions on what to order. We got the famous table-side quacamole and we were very impressed. The restaurant has just the right noise level. The pomegranate margarita was to die for! And the churros on the dessert menu were out of this world. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. Best nachos of my life!"

  • "They have a separate gluten free menu that I've eaten off of twice with no adverse effects. The regular menu is also great I am told. The tables are well spaced and staff is friendly. Both lunch and dinner were enjoyable. The bar scene at dinner time on a Thursday around 6:30p was lively with an afterwork crowd."
