"Another Mexican-inspired chain, Rosa Mexicano is known for its braised and grilled meats. Try the chicken tinga or the arrachera, which is steak marinated with guajillo chile and tequila and grilled in a cast-iron skillet. [Full service]" - Terrence Doyle

Decent place. Vibes are good. Went as with my with group and we got a bunch of things. I got their: Nachos, tampequerina (may have misspelled) but it's steak and other stuff. Honestly, the food felt bland. Not much flavor. I asked for medium steak and it was very tough. Should've done medium rare. For drinks, got blood orange and spicy cucumber. I couldn't taste orange in the first drink and it was quite bitter but not that bad. Spicy cucumber was delicious. The rest of the group got bunch of things and folks were happy with their food and drinks.

My friends and I stopped by Rosa Mexicano in Boston Seaport after a boat cruise, it was conveniently within walking distance, which made it an easy choice. We got there around 10pm (they close at 11), and thankfully they were still seating and serving. Our server, Yasmina, was friendly and mostly attentive. That said, since it was close to closing time, the staff seemed to be in clean-up mode, so it took a little while to get her attention when we needed something. I ordered a frozen guava margarita, which was disappointing, it tasted more like grapefruit than guava, and definitely wasn’t what I was expecting. I also got the Birria Quesatacos. Flavor wise they were okay, but there were tough, big pieces of meat that made them hard to chew, and the birria sauce lacked flavor. One nice highlight of the night was that we were celebrating a friend’s birthday, and the staff brought out a complimentary birthday treat and sang to her (upon request). It was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated. Overall, Rosa Mexicano has a fun vibe and a great location for late-night eats in the Seaport. I loved the overall pink aesthetic as pink is my favorite color, but for me, the food and drinks fell a bit short.

Had a decent meal here! The tacos and chicken enchiladas were all fine, but very one note. Felt on the more expensive end too and I’d be more likely to go to Citrus & Salt or bartaco instead. I would recommend the baja fish and the quesabirria tacos. The fried plantains were okay, but definitely needed more crema.

Food was good They bring nachos and salsa to the table and guacamole per order However horrible acoustics. We could not have a proper conversation. Also took > 1.5 hours for a lunch

We stopped in after walking past this place several times to our hotel. We only wanted an appetizer and drinks. The restaurant was busy so we sat at the bar. We ordered our drinks and some chicken nachos. We waited for about 45 minutes before our nachos were served. We weren’t upset but just a but puzzled to see it took so long to get an order of chicken nachos out. The nachos were ok but in all honesty they were nothing special.

Drinks were good but overpriced…. food was way overpriced and also shockingly bad. I’ve had better, cheaper salads at Panera and the airport. Service was good but not enough to make up for the food quality and prices.

I liked the Fajitas that I ordered. We went there with a group of colleagues and everyone enjoyed their food. The ambience was great and so was the service. Definitely recommend.

Rosa Mexicano in Boston is an absolute gem that I stumbled upon while working at an event nearby, and I am so glad that I did. As a vegetarian, I can confidently say that this place is a dream come true. The menu is filled with an abundance of delicious options that cater to those who prefer meatless dishes. The wet burrito, nachos, and quesadilla that I tried were all absolutely fantastic. The flavors were incredibly authentic and the quality of the ingredients was top-notch. In addition to the mouthwatering vegetarian options, the atmosphere at Rosa Mexicano is lively and vibrant, creating a truly immersive dining experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made sure that my meal was nothing short of perfect. If you're in Boston and looking for a restaurant that serves up delicious Mexican fare with a vegetarian twist, look no further than Rosa Mexicano. I highly recommend giving this place a try - you won't be disappointed!

I arrived late Friday evening close to closing and was seated in the dining area. My server was Savanna, she was sweet and did not rush me. I ordered the frozen strawberry margarita which I hate to say I absolutely hated. The strawberry flavor was very faint and it tasted bitter. It made my throat itch so I'm not sure if it was the quality of tequila or ingredients. I also ordered the birria quesatacos which were jam packed with protein and flavor. The only downside was the consome was really watered down. It resembled broth and lacked flavor. I'm not sure if I experienced this because I came in late but I was really disappointed. I will try again earlier in the day.

I love Mexican food but I have been a bit disappointed with the food the last few times I've been here. The first time I visited I enjoyed the food and drinks. This time around I ordered the Baja fish tacos. I wish it had more flavor. Now why would you fry fish in a batter with no salt? It has potential with all the fixings. Just needed some seasoning on the fish, which is the main start. Also tried the ice tea and tres leches. Not bad but also missing something. I'm not sure what changed but the flavor has declined. The staff was friendly and the service fairly quick. I went to their Sunday salsa brunch a while back. Not sure if they still do that. But it was a good time.

This place is perfect for a girls night! First thing to mention is they had a frozen margarita pitcher option which I feel like in Boston is pretty rare to find - especially during the winter- and it was sooo good! They also make the guac in front of you and ask spice levels and if there is anything you don't want. We got the double guac which is 3 avocados, smaller than I expected but pretty good! The queso fundido was also a great appetizer option and then for the main I got the enchiladas which I'm usually picky about but it was really good and came with rice which was perfect to soak into the sauce. The server was so attentive all night even though it was busy and the food came out quickly throughout or time there. Definitely coming back here again and getting the frozen margs.

I came here with a group and everyone enjoyed their food but we all agreed that the portions were not worth the price. The pronto deal sounds like a good deal but the tacos were not filling. If you get the pronto, we recommend the chicken soup and enchiladas. I also recommend the birria quesatacos. Overall, the staff was friendly but they messed up 3 of our orders because the restaurant was busy. Everyone got the food that they ordered eventually. Also, make sure you ask for tap water if you don't want to pay $7 for spring water (they asked if we wanted spring or sparkling, implying that tap was not an option).

I visited Rosa Mexicano after an event recently and was, well, not thrilled. Not the worst experience I have ever had somewhere, but not a welcoming experience by any means. I visited for dessert after an event, and the service was met with clear disdain for our presence at a table instead of the bar. I understand the intricacies of service life, so I know how much it stinks when you get a table late in the evening before you think you'll be able to leave, but it was clear our server would have preferred we left. Nonetheless, the churros we had for dessert were positively lovely! And the ambience is very cool. A decent place overall, but I just wish I had a better experience my first time here.

Our party of four went to Rosa Mexicano on my wife's recommendation. We had eaten at the Washington, D.C. version as well as the New York City one. This is a reliable chain for sit down dining. The industry has various categories, but I do not know all the terms. If I were to describe it, I would say this is the midpoint between fine dining and casual dining. You could come for a business meeting, a first date, or for a family birthday. The prices are not cheap if you are on a budget, but neither are they so outrageous you would come only with an expense account. The business model is good. The experience earns the best recommendation, of being suitable for repetition. The only negative is inevitable. With such crowds, it is noisy. Another means to interpret that would be: it is festive. So it's fine. We were in town for a Memorial Day half marathon. My wife's college roommate's husband is fast enough to place in his age category (male, 70-75), while I plod along content to finish and compete again the next day. Our hotel was a half block away. This was a convenient choice, which happened to be a good one. They were bustling. I'd expect you'd have a significant wait without a reservation, especially since the Seaport neighborhood The signature dish is the fresh guacamole. We had it. They prepare it table side. There is not much ritual. I was disappointed about an aspect: they serve it in a plastic molcajete. (I believe the word is of Mexican origin; there may be another word for the mortar in other Spanish speaking societies.) We shared a chopped salad. It was satisfactory. The mains were all good. The portions were sizable. I had the chille rellenos. My wife ordered it. The dish was too hot, as in spicy. That is just a risk with fresh ingredients, and it was no problem. We had planned to switch half way through anyway. She had my chicken quesadilla. I partook too. It was appetizer size. But it was generous for a starter. The hot sauce they gave on the side was excellent. Others might object for its power. The other runner had shrimp tempura tacos. He gave me one. That means I sampled three entrees. I would suffer no unhappiness consuming a whole serving of any of those. The servers (two) were prompt and courteous. They had their hands full. That means they might have become distracted, but they did not; they were attentive for the entirety. I would return to any Rosa Mexicano I have been to.

This was a pop up stand located at the Harpoon brewery by Boston Commons. They had plenty of room with high tables to stand at. I got one of each tacos and a quesadilla. The chicken tacos were really good. The service was fast even though there was one staff manning the station.

Got seated right away on a Saturday night. Excellent and friendly customer service. Food was great except for the empanada. Pink pink pink everywhere! Very nice themed decorated place.

After purusing the website and menu I anticipated an excellent dining experience at Rosa Mexicano. This is a cautionary tale that if one begins with high expectations it's much easier to be disappointed. Here are a few examples supporting my interpretation of our experience: - Requested outdoor seating but seated inside (it was not busy). - Water glasses only refilled if requested (mostly remained empty because our server didn't come by often). - Chips lacked salt; salsa lacked brightness. - Very limited vegan options (there are more vegetarian choices). - When our server confirmed the mushroom tacos could be made vegan (by omitting the cheese) they arrived topped with cheese. After pointing this out they were remade, however the corn tortillas were cold and rubbery, the cabbage/apple slaw had no dressing or salt, and the chile sauce was just a drizzle, resulting in an overall uninspired dish. - When food was delivered it was clear they were unsure who had ordered which dish; this resulted in lots of plate-passing and entree-switching. They also forgot to deliver several dishes until reminded. - Inattentive service. I hinted at this above in regards to water. We also had to proactively search for a staff member so we could pay our check. For these reasons I bestow 2 stars. Rosa Mexicano - you can do better; go forth and succeed.

Service was terrible. Servers shouldn't also have to make the table side guac. It slows everything down.

We had a lovely work event with our clients at Rosa Mexicana. The private room fit everyone without feeling squished. We enjoyed shared plates such as fresh guac, empanadas, taquitos, and enchiladas! I left before we got to enjoy the churros for dessert. The drinks were amazing and All enjoyed mezcal margaritas. Great service !

Average Mexican spot with a large outdoor space in the middle of seaport. Frozen marg was overpriced in my opinion. Steak tacos had a nice grill flavoring and were hearty. Shrimp tacos were too light and wanted something more on the taco.

Since the Yelpies, I have wanted to return and try their offerings as a regular patron! Whether or not Yelpers are regular customers is a debate for a different time. So, I had the opportunity to try: - La Tradicional Margarita (Spicy) - Stormy Suprema - Ceviche Tasting (Classic Mexican/Salmon/Tuna) - Duck Carnitas Tacos - Chips and Salsa (free) When it comes to margaritas, some like it hot! It's me; I'm the one who likes it hot. I've had many "spicy" margaritas, and most have only a hint of heat. However, the La Tradicional, with the House Tres Chiles Tincture, was no joke! Don't get me wrong, the heat was perfect! Just enough spice to be adequately felt, not enough to have been grabbing for water and gasping for air. In addition to the spot-on heat level, the marg was boozy and balanced in sweetness and acid. The Stormy Suprema was a little different. It was a little sweeter than the La Tradicional and also boozy. It uses a different kind of tequila, a blend of Reposado, Anejo, and Extra Anejo. This blend is aged and then filtered. A good bet if you both like your margs a bit sweeter and mildly adventurous. The Ceviches (unfortunately, all three) didn't work for me. Generally, I liked the creativity and variety. There was fluke, salmon, and tuna. For sauces, there was a lime (acid), a mayo (creamy/savory), and a mango (sweet). The fish appeared high quality, and I enjoyed the veggies and garnishes that helped bring another dimension of flavors and textures. While I didn't really like the fluke, that may be a "me" thing. It was the sauces that were the undoing of all three. The issue was there was so much of it that it overpowered everything else. Especially when it comes to the delicate flavors of raw fish, the sauces completely overtook them. For the Duck Carnitas Tacos, it was the opposite. They were 80% of the way there. The protein was tender and in ample amounts, and I enjoyed the grilled pineapple-jicama salsa. However, these tacos needed two-and-a-half things to go from "alright" to "fantastic." First, they needed a sauce to help marry the protein and the veggies. Otherwise, it was just braised duck topped with a pineapple pico. Second, they needed more salt, though the sauce could have provided this. Finally, they were topped with a little queso fresco, but there was very little of it. It felt to have been added as an afterthought, with one taco getting almost none. Regarding the lack of salt, the same thing applies to the chips and salsa given as a free while-you-wait appetizer. The chips felt homemade and were okay, except for a complete lack of any seasoning. The salsa was also acceptable, better than the jarred stuff, but nothing to write home about either. My favorite thing about the experience was the service. My server, Savannah, was absolutely fantastic! She was kind, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. She provided the level of service I would expect from a fancy-schmancy restaurant! The vibe was pleasant and upscale. It is open, inviting, bright, and colorful without overdoing it. Very clean, also! Finally, the value was fair. Two drinks and more food than I could finish cost $72 before tax and tip. Not the cheapest of restaurants, but considering the location and the more upscale vibe, it is within reason. What it comes down to is whether or not I would like to return in the near future. Rosa Mexicano lands in the middle (hence three stars). While some things could have been better, nothing was "bad" about my experience. At the same time, there was nothing to entice me to return... except for that coupon, which expires in two weeks (and is now making me second guess myself).

We popped in here on our last day before heading to the train station to head home. I've been to Rosa plenty of times in NYC so I figured we'd go, have a margarita, and head home. We sat at the bar and quickly noticed they were training a new bartender. Okay that's fine but any actual mixologist knows how to make a margarita. Not this guy! Instead it took a manager (maybe?) to show him how to make one. It still came out good and strong so I got over it quickly. In-between drinks the manager suggested we take a shot. No, thank you. We ended up getting the check after one more drink and heading out.

Our group went here after a long business day. Service was, well Odd. Our waiter may have been trying to be funny, or just was F'ing out of it completely. We were having drinks and BS'ing up a storm, so it was kind of fun, but had we been in a hurry, it would have beed frustrating. The Camarones Diablos were actually pretty dang spicy, which was refreshing. I needed plenty of fluids to finish the dish. The quesabirria tacos were also delicious (and not a complete mess, like some places. I will say the Ahi Tuna tacos were a complete joke. Saying they were small AF doesn't do justice to a good F. There were 4 and each was a bite. The place was a bit pricey, but I wasn't paying so the drinks kept flowing. Those are the best meals, right?

I like the food and the service. The drinks were excellent. I enjoy my meal after a long day exploring city.

I felt like everything was good here, but not great. I got the guava margarita, enchilada sampler (duck, chicken, mushroom) and plantains. The drink was fine, but it was weird that a sweet margarita has salt on the rim and not sugar. The enchilada sampler was served with no explanation so I had no clue which one was which. I could tell which one was mushroom because that one didn't taste as good. The highlight of my meal was definitely the side of plantains, those were made very well. I liked that this restaurant was on the inKind app so I could use my restaurant credits here.

Rosa Mexicana is a fine-dine Mexican restaurant in the seaport area. Surprisingly no reservation was required on a Friday evening. We ordered a spicy mango margarita and another mezcal margarita and they were good. Nachos were delicious and hence the 4 Stars. Chicken tacos weren't really good though. The service was pretty quick and restaurant has a nice vibe with comfortable seating. Would visit again for the nachos!

Popped in for a fast dinner. Was seated quickly and the food came out so fast I didn't even get into my appetizer. Not a complaint at all. It was cozy and vibrantly decorated and made me forget it was 26 degrees out side. The food was good. Nothing to yell off the rooftops about but I had no complaints. It was also fairly priced for a restaurant in the seaport area. They also have a happy hour which I didn't make, but I would eat here again.

Awesome Mexican Restaurant in Boston. Our server, Jabar was wonderful. There was 7 of us and he was great... very attentive. The G. M. was so kind, her name was Barry Young. I would give this place 5 stars...... very delicious food. The whole staff that dealt with us were all great. It was. my birthday and they treated me like a queen. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We ordered Mezcal margarita but it wasn't good and it was super expensive. Shrimp tacos - very good. All stars are for the shrimp tacos Birria tacos- not good The tables weren't that clean as well. Overall we were expecting lot more cleanliness and taste given they are Mexican restaurant. Disappointed with the taste of the drink and tacos given the price of the food.

First off margaritas were excellent and free chips and salsa. Down hill from there. Music was super loud. I got carnitas tacos and they were soooo salty. My daughter and husband got enchiladas and the rice was hard and day. Inedible. We told the server who said she would let the kitchen know and didn't replace or comp anything. Super pricey. Wouldn't go back unless just for drinks.

I love Rosa Mexicano! I first ate at one in National Harbor, MD and was pleasantly surprised to find one near my conference in Boston! I ate there 2 while in Boston. Yummy margaritas, great weekday lunch specials, fresh tasting chips. I'll definitely come back again.

Nice dining experience on a Saturday early evening. We were seated right away on the patio overlooking the harbor. Our waitperson was friendly and quick. We started with a La Tradicional Margarita that was perfectly balanced with lime juice, agave and tequila. Ordered the Guacamole along with salsa and tortilla chips. The Guacamole was freshly made and spicy, salsa was flavorful and mild (would have liked a spicer version) , the chips were warm and crispy. For dinner we ate the Chile Relleno which was different than most typical Mexican restaurants. It was a stuffed poblano with Mexican cheese, quinoa, and topped with crema, queso fresco, avocado, and a delicious roasted tomato chipotle sauce. We'll definitely be back.

Great spot for a bite in Seaport. Was able to snag a last minute reservation on a Saturday night. It was busy! Food was great, lots of gluten free options. I was so happy they had a gluten free option for the quesadillas- I rarely see that! Guac was spot on, margaritas were tasty. Made it a meal of apps - had the chicken flautas and shrimp ceviche. All were great. I went in with low expectations, but honesty this was one of the best Mexican meals I've had in a while. Server was fantastic. Just a few areas for improvement: noise level is pretty high. Hard to hear other people at your table. First host at the host stand avoided eye contact, yawned and walked away. Fortunately, there was a more professional host right behind this tired kids so we weren't left waiting.

Went here twice in the time span of two weeks the first time was with a large group of 15, it took them 45 min to get all of our drinks and service was just very slow for the rest of the night. When we paid there was at the bottom of the recipe a rewards system for every 100$ spent there would be 10$ taken off in the future. Given it was a large bill we had over 100$ in rewards so we decided we'd be back the next weekend. Food was mid. Service was slightly better but still very slow. When we were first seated (group of 4) I informed them that I had rewards and that we planned to use them the host said to inform our server because they weren't aware of the rewards. We told the server and he said he thinks it'll will be applied after when we got the check, check came and they weren't sure how to do it and come to find out they never added the rewards from our previous time there. Luckily I had a photo of my receipt and they added it after the manager came over and gave us slight attitude when we said we only came there because of this reward and the manager acted offended and said what you didn't enjoy it here? They finally made it work out and took the money off. The food this time was better with the guacamole being the best part of our meal and tacos being just ok. Both times the women's bathroom was trashed and had music bumpin. Will not come back again

Rosa Mexicano is a decent place to grab food if you have a large group in the Seaport area. I've visited this place twice with a team of co-workers (~8 people) around lunch time during the weekday and were able to find a table pretty quickly. In both my visits, we ordered the table side guacamole, which lacked the usual amount of salt and lime that I am used too in both instances, though a few people at the table enjoyed it. On my first visit, I had ordered the pork tacos, which by itself tasted okay. Adding the spicy salsa helped boost the flavor. The spicy salsa definitely has a kick and not advised for the unseasoned spice connoisseurs! On my second and most recent visit, I had ordered the Baja Fish tacos, which also were fairly bland without the spicy salsa. Many of my co-workers ordered items other than tacos, e.g. enchiladas and ceviche, that they enjoyed so maybe its just the tacos are a bit underwhelming. It is hard competition with the explosion of new restaurants in Seaport area. While the food might be a hit or miss, Rosa Mexicano has the space to host large groups and pretty good service, which might be the option you are looking for in a lunchtime crunch.

What I liked: - good food. Good portions and very flavorful. I ordered the 1/2 chicken and it was moist and tender - good location at the seaport. - friendly staff. Asst Gen manager Kevin made us feel welcome Drinks are a little pricey, but what can one expect from such a location in Boston.

Friendly staff. Big space. A nice private room. Yummy food. The mango margarita wasn't too strong to me but the frozen margarita packed a punch. It was a very fun night for me and my colleagues!

On a Saturday evening we were expecting a long wait. The place was busy but we got seated within 10 minutes. Drinks menu seemed extensive but a bit on the pricy side. We decided on mock-tails and were not disappointed. Mango lemon ginger with chia seeds was refreshing and spot on. House salsa was exceptionally tasty. Main entrees were flavorful and distinct in taste. There was an odd thing that marred the experience though. A person walking around with a camera came to the table and took pictures of us. The pitch was that they were complimentary. Ten minutes later they brought a picture post card (free)and three pictures in frames and were pretty insistent that we purchase that package of three for $55. Not cool. Ambiance of a beautiful evening and great food was dampened by this unnecessary plot twist. Felt compelled to take out one star.

Went here while in town for work. Typically Mexican spot. Waiter was friendly. Margaritas were great! Table side guac was good, however we were underwhelmed by portion sizes. Chicken tortilla soup was great broth was wonderful. Untraditional but so good. I'd suggest for a good Mexican spot

Yelp
The service was friendly and we came on a Sunday when they had a live DJ with salsa dancing which was fun. The restaurant was clean. Drinks: We got some type of margarita fizz drink and it was absolutely delicious, we all loved it would recommend. Appetizer: The guacamole was soooo bad and flavorless, they made it with a rock hard avocado and even though they added more salt it didn't help at all. The queso was bleak and nothing to write home about. Salsa was okay. The chips were great. Food: Horrible, the soup wasn't warm and very flavorless. The kid's quesadillas were sooo gross just melted cheese pads on top of one another, you couldn't even pull them apart or separate them. We also got a brunch egg dish with eggs sunny side up and the yolk was cooked all the way through on both eggs. Bottom line is I have loved Rosa Mexicana and been to several locations but probably wouldn't come back here again or even recommend this place just because the food was consistently bad through and through, which was a bummer.

Rhonda C.

Yelp
Service was pretty good, but food lacked flavor and was only ok. The brisket tacos were very greasy, and the chicken and steak fajitas didn't have much seasoning on them so kind of bland. The chips and salsa were good and plentiful. Nothing special, great location but wouldn't go back.

Michelle H.

Yelp
The food was average, the server was ok, but just wait until you try to pay your bill. They offer an ability to pay on line at the table. It costs extra, they don't disclose that and It doesn't work correctly. "It hasn't been working right for the last few weeks" Then don't offer it as a service. You will be over charged and the staff has no idea how to fix it and will keep running your credit card.. "Just call us if it's not right." Um no thanks. Not worth the hassle.

Payal M.

Yelp
This is an average Mexican eatery attempting to be a fine dine restaurant. The interiors are vibrant and pretty and the place is spacious. We went on a Friday night (peak time!) and easily got a table which is difficult to manage at most other restaurants in the neighborhood. Their nachos are rich with guac, cheese, et al and delicious overall! Tacos are average. Al gusto margarita with mezcal is good but the spiced margaritas are way too spicy! Service is as expected. This establishment is part of the inKind network so you'll get a 15% discount if you pay through the inKind app. Place is good for group hangouts as well as date night.

Whenever I'm in Boston for work, Rosa Mexicana is always my go-to restaurant. The food, atmosphere, drinks, and service have never disappointed. This week, I'm back in Boston and bringing two of my coworkers with me, and I'm hoping Rosa Mexicana continues to deliver the same exceptional experience!

Service was good and drinks were strong. The food feel a little short for us. Lacked flavor and was a little cold.

You know how they say when you're in Boston be sure to check out the Mexican food? No? Yeah, I've never heard that either. But, there I was and I was in the mood for Mexican. This was just down the street from the hotel and the reviews looked good so I figured I'd check it out. The atmosphere is one of a very modern dining establishment. Not crazy-fancy but definitely upscale. The staff was incredibly nice. The menu had so many things I wanted to try, but I ended up with an enchilada assortment. It was amazing. Their Molé sauce is just incredible. It has this full taste in your mouth and a scent of cinnamon. The enchilada was great too. They also have a chili Verde sauce which I got on one of my enchiladas. That was also amazing. I'm not a big drinker so I don't know about their margarita specials, but they look cool. The food was just amazing though. I can still imagine what it tasted like, as I write this.

Calling all Brunch Lovers! Do you love brunch and salsa dancing? Rosa Mexicano located on 155 Seaport Blvd, Boston, MA should be your new weekend brunch spot. For drinks we had a frozen pomegranate margarita and a cocojito. For an appetizer we had their ceviche flight. Shrimp, salmon and tuna ceviche all in one dish. My personal favorite was the shrimp ceviche-it had a nice spicy kick to it! For entrees we had their french toast and steak and eggs. The steak and eggs contained an 8oz grilled certified angus beef ny strip steak, two eggs any style, brunchile roasted potatoes, cambray onions, salsa molcajet, and flour tortillas. This is a huge plate of food and can definitely be split with multiple people! For dessert we had their churros, margarita lime tart and flan. My personal favorite was the margarita lime tart which contained Corralejo reposado tequila, triple sec, lime zest, baked in an árbol graham cracker crust topped with whipped cream. Make sure to dance your way over to Rosa Mexicano this Sunday in Boston for some salsa dancing!

Loved the food, drinks and service. My skinny margarita was delicious as was the pour over queso on the nachos. Yum!

My wife and I stopped here while walking around downtown Boston. It has a terrific outdoor dining space. The inside has a slick modern vibe, but we opted for the outdoor space. Service was prompt and professional. We both had the house margarita over ice. I thought the taste was excellent, but I don't know if it was handmade or batched, and it didn't seem like much tequila. The chips and salsa were good. We shared the shrimp tacos. They are small street tacos with one large fried shrimp, some lettuce and a seasoning sauce. They tasted good, not notable. I would return to try something else if we're in the area again.

Very disappointing experience at Rosa this evening. Have had lackluster experiences there in the past but decided to give it another go at the encouragement of a friend. Rating 1 star because: 1) the restaurant was packed and while we were told a table would be available in 30-40 minutes, it ended up being well over an hour despite my assertive friend trying to secure our spot! 2) we ordered chips and guac from from the bar but the chips left a lot to be desired esp compared to other Mexican hot spots in the seaport like Bartaco 3) there was a lot of chaos behind the bar with workers yelling at each other which kind of interfered with the chill vibes my friends tend to go for. Lesson learned: if your friend insists on Rosa, tell him no sir!

I've been passing on Rosa Mexicano every time I'm in Boston. I decided on my trip to put a little spice in my step so Rosa Mexicano it is! Walking in, it's a large space. There's a party happening so both the back room and outdoor area are slammed. My waiter, I can see him looking at the party while he's taking our order. I decide to put in our orders quickly so there's no time for the waiter to keep coming back. I placed an order for a Paloma, Firecracker Shrimp and Pork Carnitas de Cazuela. Bam! The Paloma was pretty good, I would have liked it a little stronger. The Firecracker Shrimp was on point. Very tasty and a nice starter. The Pork Carnitas de Cazuela, we had a little wait. Our waiter was busy and didn't check on us for at least 10 minutes. I would have ordered another drink but I was put on the pay no mind list. Once the Pork Carnitas de Cazuela did come to the table, now it's on! Those sauces added different nuances of flavor. This dish was out of bounds! Highly recommended. Rosa, we finally meet. Good food and drinks but there's too much competition in the area. Honestly, Mortons would have never let me wait. Deuces!

I had an extremely disappointing experience at Rosa Mexicano. I waited over 40 minutes for ceviche that never arrived. The bartender was incredibly rude to his bar backs, which was uncomfortable to witness. He could definitely get more out of them by being less rude. Moreover, he didn't check in with anyone, despite there being only four people at the bar and another four at a high top. His excuse was that he was setting up for a private party, which is no excuse for neglecting current patrons. Avoid this place if you value decent service and basic courtesy.

The restaurant is beautiful, I love the outdoor seating too. The service was great. The menu offered a wide selection of classic mexican dishes. I also appreciate how cute and entertaining the children's menu was.
