Top Tags:

Our newest Miami restaurant is located in the heart of South Beach in Miami at 1111 Lincoln Road in the architecturally striking new Herzog & de Meuron-designed building. 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. For this vibrant city we’ve created a welcoming contemporary design, featuring a casually chic dining room with floor to ceiling windows and a travertine bar. Our patio area provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining and people watching.

Beau restaurant, belle ambiance mais je pense que nous n'avions pas choisi les bon plats. Attention nourriture épicée. Le menu enfant est génial, ils ont du choix et 9,5$ pour plat ,boisson et dessert, c'est copieux et très bon marché

In the past I was a regular of the S. Hackensack, NJ location. The folks who run the one in South Beach should pay a visit to see how much better it is. To be fair, the food here is really good and the guacamole fabulous. But- the decor is worm and shabby and I’m being kind. Looks more like an inexpensive chain. We were served our guacamole and almost simultaneously our entrees arrived! Hah? Was told they weren’t busy and so sent out our food. Not good. Was less than impressed and was disappointed given how outstanding their NJ location is.

Second time at this chain. Plates are pricy, but all delicious. Our first visit was to their DC location where the guacamole was prepared table side. This was not the case at the Lincoln Road location. I was so looking forward to this! Regardless, the guacamole is AMAZING!

We had a reservation. The place was empty. I still had to wait almost an hour for a table. Then we had two waiters that did not know how to take an order. When we finally got our food It was just a step better than fast food! And then we were told that last call was at 9:50 PM. Since when do South Beach restaurants close at that hour? Sorry to say this restaurant has gone down hill from when it first opened.

I think they were understaffed because they told us there was a 45 minute wait, even with a reservation. Half the tables in the place were empty. We sat at the bar and had great service. My wife loved the white sangria. We ended up just getting a few appetizers and dessert.

Service was lacking. Food was incompletely served. It was a waiting game. The tables outside are dirty. Could use a complete soap, scrub and hose down. Interior is also a bit dirty. The men’s restroom had electric tape holding up wallpaper that had fallen. The restroom was also missing a soap dispenser and had no paper towels. Things have gone downhill at this restaurant and I won’t be going back. Btw, take a picture of your receipt. This is the second time I’ve made an open table reservation and I was marked me as “not present”. Lincoln road has plenty of other Mexican restaurants worthy of your credit card. Keep walking or turn around and go back down Lincoln Road.

Service is HORRIBLE. Never got half our food, and the restaurant was EMPTY. Our waiter was too busy hanging out at the bar to even care about what was going on with us. Finally managed to flag down someone else, who happened to be a manager. She apologized, but the damage was done. When there are so many places to choose from, pick someplace else.

I stopped by for a first date, after having gone by this Rosa Mexicano before for drinks and tapas. My date's chicken flautas were actually pretty spicy and I also enjoyed the adobo chicken & the sweet plantain side. The tres leches was also delicious. However, due to circumstances beyond the restaurant's control, most of my dinner ended up being to go:/ I liked the dimly lit interior, though it seemed quieter than usual. Also, I had to remind the waiter to light the candle in our table. 3.5 stars for now, hopefully I'll stop by again for an upgrade soon!

Delicious food, and absolutely incredible service. They were super accommodating to my mom and her service dog! One fair warning though: the food is spicy all around! I love spicy, so it certainly didn't bother me - but if you're not a lover of spice, make sure to warn your waiter!

My sister chose this place to celebrate her 21birthday so I made a reservation. I requested to have a birthday related treat the be delivered upon check request these notes were applied to my reservation. My wife called shortly after to make sure this request was recieved and the hostess confirmed. None of this was taken into consideration, our waiter simply brought out maracas and sang happy birthday with absolutely no dessert not even a candle. Service was extremely slow which is understandable for a weekend but drinks were taking extremely long and not just for mixed drinks shots as well this is not the waiters fault at all. Would I go back absolutely not but I would definitely order food for take out.

Food was nice enough. We were four adults and a baby. They added. 20% tip to the bill automatically. Tipping should be voluntary not mandatory. I’m not sure what management is thinking. An Unfortunate end to the meal.

Food was great - good selection in menu, though the kitchen was out of multiple items. The service was terrible - my drink order was forgotten, the desserts were forgotten. Too bad, because we really liked the food.

We had a very good time. The food was good and the service was good. The check arrived, we scanned the bill for accuracy and a cc was submitted for payment. Upon returning the credit card voucher for signature the itemized bill was not returned with it. ONLY on the itemized bill do you see that the gratuity was included. The server does not tell you the gratuity is included. By only bringing back the cc voucher to the guest and disposing if the itemized bill it appears as though a gratuity is still necessary because the voucher shows the sub total and there is a line to enter the gratuity. This is deceitful and I am certain that many guests double tip because of this. I am in the business and know better. At this time we requested the itemized bill to double check if we were charged a gratuity. Shame on the server and shame on Rosa Mexicans for not enforcing a policy of transparency and communication when it comes to auto gratuity.
