    Hosts were pretty unaccomodating and tried to turn me away at first even though I was within the grace period. My server was great but hosts really soured the experience. Seating outside was okay after we got moved away from the cluttered storage and sidewalk. Food tasted kind of bland. Drinks were overpriced and not worth it at all. Not sure what happened to this place I used to really enjoy it.

    Waited about 15 minutes with reservations but the servers were great and the views from balcony seats were amazing. Took a while for the food to arrive but understandable since it was super busy. Must get here is the guacamole made in mortar and pestle - Guacamole en Molcajete. The chipotle chicken empanadas were alright but the mushroom enchiladas were amazing! The new cherry blossom margarita was amazing as well.

    It was recommended on Tik-Tok as a good place to eat. It was ok, nothing to write home about. The portions were small. The service was adequate, not great. After eating my meal, waited sometime to get my check. They should have the kiosk on the table to checkout for the customer experience.

    Extremely disappointed in Rosa! They did absolutely nothing to accommodate our family and other friends who had reservations at 7pm! We even went in together earlier in the day, when they told us they would! In fact the manager was nothing but rude! I also had put in my request to eat outside and it was never even addressed then I was told they could not make it happen! For the price, the food was terrible! My daughter’s order was wrong and we had to wait additional time for them to make it! We constantly had to request for refills in water bc our server was never around to check in!

    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.
