  • replying to u/starsamaria: Years ago I had enchiladas from Rosa Mexicano that I don't even understand how they were so bland. Also had the steak and eggs brunch at St. Anselm: they cooked the steak wrong and the portions were pitifully small, I was still hungry.

    Omg the fish tacos I ordered at Rosa Mexicano would have been disappointing at an Applebees. Fried hockey puck fish sticks on a dry bed of cabbage wrapped in a flavorless tortilla.

    Still scarred from my meal at Rosa Mexicana a couple months ago. I knew it wasn't going to be great but we had a large party last minute so it worked out. The waiter wanted us to order before even half the group looked at the menu and everything was rushed yet the entrees were still so cold.

    Everything is bland and tastes exactly the same. There are no different flavor profiles among the dishes!

  • replying to u/snark-as-a-service: I had probably one of the most godawful shrimp tacos for way too much money at Rosa Mexicano last month. I should’ve taken a picture of it it was so pathetic. Rubbery tortillas, sad flavorless shrimp, and probably three shreds of cabbage.

    the service but it was also most mind bogglingly bad/confused I’ve ever had

    Rosa Mexicano: where the mild, medium, and hot guacamole all taste exactly the same.

  • Rosa Mexicano is fine, good drinks and meh food, but pretty decent chips and guacamole.

  • I can tell you that I had comically bad service at the Lincoln Center Rosa Mexicano, where we ordered 3 tacos and they accidentally brought us all incorrect flavors, one of which I was allergic to.

  • replying to u/FastChampionship2628: I was going to say Dos Camino's at E 50th/3rd Ave however they have gone out of business. So maybe Rosa Mexicano (several locations, one is at E 52/2nd Ave).

    I think these are both dreadful choices - overpriced bland garbage.

    Their guac was mashed avocado with nothing else.

  • replying to u/lilacbluebell: My cousin used to take me there for $5 margarita happy hour. They must use the world’s worst, sub-rail tequila and pure high fructose corn syrup because even one would give me the worst hangover of my life. Remarkably tasteless guac and queso fundido that hardened into a brick after two minutes too.

    The greasiest queso fundido in the world. Revolting.

  • The one near Union Square sat me then forgot to take my order for almost an hour.

  • replying to u/SquashMarks: TIL everyone hates Rosa Mexicano. I personally love it, but I have had others have bad experiences there as well

    Then I went and paid $20 for fucking 3 meh tacos! That made me rage as a Californian.

  • replying to u/wdrub: Rosa Mexicano with the little Acapulco divers in the waterfall doesn’t do it for you? 🤣

    Ordered chips and queso from them last night. It did the trick.

    it was so, so bad. Not worth it at all and so, so pricey.

    I haven’t had horrible experiences there aside from the prices (I’ve been at non-Lincoln center performance times) but last time I went, they had removed all vegan and almost all vegetarian options from the menu.

    They aren’t that bad. Not incredible or anything, but there aren’t many options for queso in NYC (which I require every so often to live since I used to reside in Texas), so it serves a need.

  • replying to u/Neptune28: Another bad experience was at Rosa Mexicano back in 2017. I was seated, but no one was taking my order. Everyone walked past and I couldn't get anyone to stop. It took almost an entire hour before someone finally realized that no one took my order.

    The food itself was bland but the guacamole was very good.

  • replying to u/throwawayzies1234567: Do not listen to this person, he’s trolling about Rosa Mexicano, it’s widely considered one of the worst Mexican restaurants in NYC. I get it though, Go Yankees!
