    I had high hopes about visiting this restaurant however I was so disappointed by the things that happened towards the end of the meal. I had a reservation at 9:30 but we got there by 9:00 we finished our meal by 10:00. Servers only came to ask if we were finished but not to ask how was the food? It was amazing btw he was rushing us to leave! I HAD NEVER SEEN IN A RESTAURANT SWEEPING WHILE PEOPLE EAT! And turning the lights so bright right at 10:00 as a sign to leave. I thought Rosa mexicano was a fine dining restaurant? For their prices I expected more.Maybe I was wrong. The thing that bothered me the most was that when I asked about the dessert menus the server replied “kitchen is closed” I ask why you didn’t informed us? Again horrible experience how is that they are going to close the kitchen for desserts without warning the guests? I don’t know if it’s normal but not for me.

    This was our first visit here for my birthday dinner. I was pretty disappointed, the food wasn’t good, we actually sent back our plate and had to get a different entree. The guacamole needed more salt, margaritas were too sweet, and the tres leches cake had to be the worst I’ve ever had. It was like a dry brownie with milk in a bowl. On top of all of this the bill was around $120, not worth it at all. Definitely will not be returning.

    Half of our party arrived and the server said she would come back. However, we had to wave her down several times for multiple things. I also found the pricing to be extra extraordinary for four people to just have dinner and drinks. It’s not likely that I will return there for dinner but may happy hour because I really enjoyed the food.

    Waited over 30 minutes after being seated for water, some of our drinks and food were missing ( and we never got) but the waiter never returned after delivering food for us to ask about it again. We gave up waiting for the sides and drinks we ordered since he had served the tables around us multiple times over the 45 minutes. The food we did get was good, but the overall experience was not great, they clearly had seated too many tables for the low amount of wait staff they had for lunch.

    All the food was pretty good, including the beef brisket enchiladas and the queso dip. However, the tacos… I have no idea what happened with them. They were $19 for three, and the taste was really disappointing. They felt stale and had little to no flavor. They were also super dry. The overall atmosphere is nice though, and service was great.

    I ordered the half chicken and it had zero flavor to it. While I loved the drinks, I just believe the food (at least the chicken) didn’t have anything to it flavor wise.
