Service was friendly and the pomegranate margarita was a hit! The food was okay. I ordered something I'm not used to eating and should have stuck to my regular shrimp taco or fajita entree but you can't really go wrong with Rosa Mexicano!

My biggest issue with restaurants is when they bring out the main course before the appetizers are done. It felt very rushed. Then we ordered a second margarita and it took about 20-30 minutes.

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!!!
