“ Excellent service and delicious food. They honored our reservation 15 minutes early. The drinks were awesome as well. The birria tacos are a must-try! ”
“ I had the pleasure of visiting Rosa Mexicano Union Square on a lunch break, and I’m so glad I did! Lel was an amazing server who recommended the most delicious and unique tacos I’ve ever had—the Chopped Cheeseburger Taco. It was incredibly filling and absolutely phenomenal. As for the margaritas, I went with the guava & strawberry frozen version, and let me tell you, it was the freshest, juiciest margarita I’ve ever had! They also serve you fresh tortilla chips and salsa, but the real star of the show is their housemade guacamole—absolutely out of this world! If you’re in the area, you must check this place out. You won’t be sorry! Huge thanks to Lel for making my experience even better. Can't wait to return! ”
“ June 2025- What a great experience. The musroom enchiladas were fantastic.. our host were awesome-paula n tiny. We were celebrating our 42nd year anniversary. They helped make it soecial ”
“ Place was very nice. The drinks were on point - we had blood orange margaritas and I had the braised beef brisket tacos omg - delicious... will definitely go again. ”
“ This restaurant has a large space that can accommodate a party of 50 or more. The food tastes different from authentic Mexican food or the Tex-Mex foods you get closer to the boarder between Texas and Mexico or California and Mexico and seems to be more tailored to those who dine in at high end restaurants. I can give a five star to the space, presentation and variety of food. One of the ideal places for corporate clients who don't mind loud noises. The place was very loud but nobody in our group cared. We had to go up a few steps to enter the restaurant but that was not an issue for our group. ”
“ The service was great. Very kind and welcoming while sitting at the bar. The food was fairly quick and delicious. Went during the lunch hour on a beautiful day. It was t extremely busy. However, the atmosphere was still lively. I think the prices were on the fair side. It’s priced like a typical restaurant in Manhattan. The outdoor seating was a lovely touch on a beautiful day. The outdoor area was packed! ”
“ Food was very good. Surprised that table quac cost more than my meal. Was disappointed with my first margarita, but bartender made it up on the second one. Service was very attentive and friendly. Loved the atmosphere. ”
