I was nervous about this place from the moment I entered. It has an aroma of a sweaty gym and there were flies. Despite the smell, the ambiance of the waiting area is nice. However, my chair had a rip in it and the place certainly could have been maintained a little better. The service from the waiter and even the manager was severely lacking & I make better quesadillas at home. I was quite disappointed with the food and the service. The waitress was polite but she rarely ever stopped by to check on us and never mentioned her name. Apparently there is also a time limit on tables and the manager very rudely asked us to leave. He did not inquire about our meal or experience. He didn't ask if we would like anything else. Instead he says, "Hi. I'm the manager. We have a 90 minute limit. Would you please?" and gestures for us to leave. Nobody else ever mentioned this time limit or asked us to leave so it was quite rude and abrupt. In that industry, a manager should be more adept at talking to people and enforcing policies in a better way. Now, we will never return or recommend this place.

Over the years, the menu has changed quite a bit. Currently, the Lunch menu (Dined around 1:30pmish) is a bit boring and limited. I spent $300 for a table of 5 (3 Adults, 2 Children) which is not bad if the quality of the food was better. The guac lacked salt both times we ordered (I guess it depends on who makes it). The thanksgiving dinner lacked seasoning, the alcoholic beverages lacked alcohol (completely watered down) as if the liquor was diluted to make it stretch. The service though was really great except for the hostesses at the front who were a bit impolite when seating us! The rest of the staff was very attentive and I didn't have to go looking for anyone for assistance. Restroom was very clean as well. Would I come back here? Maybe. For now we will choose a new restaurant location to continue our tradition.

Greeted promptly at the door and seated right at our reservation time. Our waitress Ana was amazing. We ordered the table side guacamole and Ana had our daughter help make it and she loved it. The food came out quick, I had the birria tacos which came out crunchy and delicious. Will definitely be back !

Started off with tortilla chip crumbs all over the booth seats, had to ask the server to clean it off. The signature Guacamole was fresh for sure but lacked flavor, needing more acid and the other ingredients didn’t really pop - I think it’s somewhat dependent on who is making the guacamole as we later observed it being made at a table next to us and seemed to be marrying/marinating together many of the ingredients first before adding the avocados - different from how ours was made. Margaritas were good, but the blood orange sunrise didn’t have much flavor or zip to it. The food and service was fine, neither were differentiators. Good but nothing special.

Reservation for 6:15. Due to traffic and something going on at National Harbor we were 15 mins late. We called to let them know and they assured us it wasn’t a problem . When we got there the place was packed and they didn’t have a table for us. It was obvious they gave it away. We complained and finally got seated at close to 7:00. We had to leave by 7:35 to catch an 8:00 show. Our waiter was fantastic and had us served in no time. The manager comped 50% of our meal which was very nice . But overall we had a rushed experience and didn’t really enjoy it.

Good food but long waits. Seated 25 minutes after reservation and it took a long time to be waited on, our food came out before the appetizers so I told the waiter to forget it. 5 minutes later the appetizers came out. Had to ask repeatedly for water refills and enough containers to pack leftovers. Would not go back.

We were at National Harbor for Veterans Day ceremonies and they took us early- very accommodating. Food and service are ALWAYS good at this location overlooking the water, right on the waterfront. Just as the meal finished, fireworks erupted just outside the window over the water. Everybody turned into schoolchildren and watched the night sky explode in color. I have never had a bad night or meal at this location. Here’s to hoping some of my luck rubs off on you at your next visit!

This place used to be great but it has deteriorated since we last went a few years ago. They need to remodel the dining room, the men’s bathroom was a mess with holes in the wall from missing soap dispensers, other soap dispensers hollowed out, etc. The service was slow and inattentive.

The service was poor- we asked if they had tea, the waitress flatly says no waiving her finger "no". Never asked if we needed refills. Had to flag her down. Didn't ask if we wanted desert or anything else. The bathrooms were deplorable. The baby changing table had a dirty plunger on it and bucket. Also, toilet water was all over several stalls. The manager did nothing. Very disappointing service, cleanliness and food was subpar and over priced. Been going here for years...the place has gone downhill.

My experience here was definitely a good experience. Our waiter was very attentive, we received all our food in a good timeframe. All our food was hot and very flavorful. The tableside guacamole was good however the girl who prepared ours left sooo many huge chunky pieces of avocado which could have been chopped more. The drinks .. pomegranate and blood orange frozen margaritas were amazing. I will definitely go back.

The hostess was prompt and very friendly. Very professional. The waiter was a little bit slow to check on us. As a matter of fact, we had to flag down another way there. I ordered the steak tacos which had a lot of fat, but the flavor was nice. The chicken quesadilla was pretty good also as an appetizer. And the drinks were I wouldn’t say strong.

The service was average. We ordered an entree for 4 and we had to request serving spoons that took too long to arrive. The sour cream for the tortillas soup never arrived .

Food is unique and not traditional Latin cuisine. It delivers authentic mole sauce and variety of options such has duck enchiladas and crab meat added to guacamole. Great flavor, fresh and tasty meals at a fair value

This is the second time this month we've eaten at Rosa Mexicano and both times have been fabulous! Every cocktail is amazing, the tableside guac could be a meal on its own, and every employee we've encountered has been a joy. Shoutout to our waitress Lucy who was so kind to my 84 year old mother, taking the time to listen to her stories when I know she was extremely busy.

Experience and food was delicious. The only complaint I have is that the bathrooms need a lot of attention towards cleanliness. I dined during brunch and seemed like it had not been cleaned from the day before.
