Despite legal guidelines this restaurant is not ADA compliant. I went to brunch with 2 people who use walkers. There was no ramp nor were there even low steps. Apparently the entrance ramp is accessed by going into the restaurant (i.e. up the front stairs) and asking the hostess to unlock the door further down the street which takes you to the ramp which needs to be put together by the staff for each use!!!
Although there were some highs in the good- the tacos for example, the service was bad. There were some large tables in and one waiter running around them- although there seemed to be loads of staff including suited front of house types, we were really overloaded for long periods of time. Ordered sprite and got sparkling water, asked to leave off the ketchup and the food came with it.. waiter so busy and preoccupied it felt like we were a nuisance. Don't bother going if you are less than a group of 8! Steak tough and value not great- wouldn't go again.
The food was a hit. Paul, our server, was excellent. Gave great cocktail advice. Also he was the sweetest with our 3.5 year foodie in training.
Server was not friendly and hardly checked on us. Food was mediocre but drinks were outstanding.
The food is truly terrible. It has gone downhill, maybe because no one goes here anymore. But the chicken tacos were not delicious; they were dry, nothing interesting in them, lukewarm. Would've rather eaten paper. The ceviche was a very small portion in which you could barely find any fish. Also, bad sign when no one is there on a Saturday. Will never go here again.
We are regulars at Rosa Mexicano. Food and service is always good and dependable. On this recent family visit, I just came from the dentist could only handle soft food. The Chicken Tortilla Soup (which I never noticed), side of rice and their staple Guac was perfect. My point, is there is something good for everyone.
Great spot! 🍹 Came in on a Monday and was happily surprised by their $5 margaritas — such a steal and actually really good! The vibe was relaxed, the staff was friendly, and the drinks hit the spot. Definitely coming back for more Monday deals!
Amazing food! Server was very nice and had very good suggestions based on my pallet. Would definitely be coming back!
Good overall. Service was a little slow for how empty it was at 530pm. We were in a back room which was not as pretty as the main rooms. Still nice, great table side guac. Awesome tres leches cake.
They were great at accommodating out party, all food came at the same time and we were 15 people !

Great food great service. Love the ceviche. Never have a meal there without the black beans 😁
Mostly Great Experience! We had a pleasant dining experience with delicious food and good service. However, our visit was slightly marred by some issues with the bathroom cleanliness. Unfortunately, there was no soap available, and the trash can was overflowing with tissue.
We have been fans of Rosa's since the late 1990's. Had dinner tonight at the Union Square Rosa's and had a wonderful meal with excellent service! Can't wait to return!
Calling you out Rosa Mexicano - come on now - the booths entering the restaurant have torn leather bench seats - and they've been that way going on over a year. I know because we come there every 3 months. This isn't a dive bar. When you turn the corner to the left headed towards the bar those aren't yet torn but they are sagging and crumbling leather. You can do better. If they are that way when we return in December we will go elsewhere. I don't walk in to spend 100-300 -500 for lunch minimum (depending on drinks and the number in the party) to be ok with that. Like I said - do better.
Great experience every time. I love this restaurant. This is my 4th time at this location and it never disappoints. The staff are so friendly and they are very attentive and engaging.
