Rosa Mexicano delivers a solid dining experience with very good service and a lively, welcoming ambience. The table-side guacamole was the clear standout—fresh, flavorful, and worth the visit on its own. The margarita pitcher was just okay for me, and the $75 price point felt a bit steep. As for the mains, the overall flavor and presentation were fine, nothing exceptional but certainly enjoyable. All in all, a good experience with a few highlights, especially the guac.
We enjoyed our margaritas, the table-side guacamole (after we had our server bring us a salt shaker and fresh lemon), and our Flan and Churro desserts. The mains of the chorizo and shrimp Empanadas and the Birria Quesatacos were okay/not bad. Our server was attentive and excellent!
Food was great . Service not so much waitress forgot to put in our appetizer. So we ended it up just eating our dinner .
Nice pre-concert early dinner. Good booth by window with river view. The two signature dishes we had, cheeseburger grande (and it was!) and chili relleno (vegetarian) were great. Nice service and ended with a flan, large enough to share.
Fast, delicious and amazing ambiance

Rosa Mexicana: where bad food meets bad vibes.
From the moment we sat down, I could tell this was going to be… an experience. Our server had the energy of someone who gave up on life halfway through the lunch rush. You could practically feel her spirit leaving her body as she took our order. Honestly, I get it — if I had to serve that food all day, I’d look like that too.
Now, onto the “steak tacos.” I’ve had more tender bites chewing on a flip-flop. The meat was old, chewy, and questionable enough to make me rethink every life decision that led me to that table. Calling it “steak” feels legally inaccurate.
And then—oh, you’re gonna love this—the dessert. My poor kid was handed a “treat” in a plastic cup from the dollar store. I laughed so hard I almost forgot how much we were being robbed. If that dessert had a slogan, it’d be: “We gave up.”
$200 later, I left hungry, confused, and in need of emotional support. Rosa Mexicana, please explain how you’re still open. I’d like my money back and maybe a refund on my taste buds.

I recently had dinner at Rosa Mexicano and while the food and ambiance were enjoyable, the experience was disrupted by a man walking around inside the restaurant selling roses. It made several guests visibly uncomfortable and interrupted what should have been a quiet, relaxing evening. This kind of unsolicited solicitation is something I’d expect in developing countries, not in an upscale dining establishment here. I was surprised the staff allowed it, and I hope management takes steps to prevent this in the future.

The rating is based on the beautiful location right on the harbor. The drinks are great, I highly recommend the margaritas by the pitcher, great flavors. Service was ok, great staff just not overly attentive. The food was ehh so so. I had the cheese enchiladas and well….the chips and dips were great! Go for the drinks and view !!!

This place never disappoints. Went for my wife’s birthday celebration and everything was wonderful. When you go, please make room for the margaritas, nuff said! My wife ordered the shrimp fajitas and they were the freshest I’ve ever eaten. I went for the chimichurri skirt steak and all I can say is whoa. The wife requested dinner here for every bday going forward and I agreed wholeheartedly. Excellent!!!

Loved Rosa Mexicano for many years. Great service, good atmosphere and good views of the harbor. However, their menu is smaller and less unique than previous years. Although the quality of the food is still excellent.
