Rosa Mexicano

This place never disappoints. Went for my wife’s birthday celebration and everything was wonderful. When you go, please make room for the margaritas, nuff said! My wife ordered the shrimp fajitas and they were the freshest I’ve ever eaten. I went for the chimichurri skirt steak and all I can say is whoa. The wife requested dinner here for every bday going forward and I agreed wholeheartedly. Excellent!!!

Wonderful Mexican food right near the Christmas tree at national harbor. Great service, attentive staff. Food is flavor full (although very salty). The guac is excellent, I recommend getting a double batch. If you can sit near the windows, the view is exceptional. And the drinks are good too Anticipate a wait during the busy times

The rating is based on the beautiful location right on the harbor. The drinks are great, I highly recommend the margaritas by the pitcher, great flavors. Service was ok, great staff just not overly attentive. The food was ehh so so. I had the cheese enchiladas and well….the chips and dips were great! Go for the drinks and view !!!

We came back again this year with our Army-Navy football group and had another fun and delicious meal! Rosa’s table-side guacamole is worth the splurge!! Very well done! And the margarita pitcher goes quickly! Our server, Laura, was delightful! Helpful with the menu and very friendly. I lowered the rating on food because my carnitas tacos were a bit dry and the seafood enchilada was lacking a bit in flavor. Probably depends on the night and the dish. Overall, a great meal and memorable way to kick off our weekend!

Food was good but some of it was a little over priced for what it is. Once we got our food, we didn’t see our waiter until we were done and had to call him over for boxes. It can be a little loud in there but it’s still a nice place with good views. I recommend having your menu cleaned though (see picture of old food dried on menu)

How anyone could give this place more than three stars is absolutely beyond me. Yes, the location at National Harbor is so chic, fancy, and beautiful. I’ll give it that. But this place is just mediocre food at criminal prices. Let’s start… The steak taco was basically like eating beef jerky in a tortilla... Had better, fresher and larger tacos at Taco Bell for 1/8 the price. The Queso was okay but the table salsa tasted like tomato sauce for pasta. Oh and the kids ice cream was an ice cream cup from like elementary school… And the kids meal is $17+ each. Talking about $17 each the margarita La Tradicional with Lime was $17 in a tiny cup with mostly ice that after three small sips was gone. At which point the server immediately returned and asked if I wanted another. If margarita shots are a thing, that’s basically what they’re serving for nearly $20 apiece.. I don’t consider myself to be a Mexican or Tex-Mex prude by any stretch, but including tip paying about $180 for two adults and two young kids for what I could easily get at any Tex-Mex or Mexican restaurant for a third of the price with much better food is just wild. On a positive note, the atmosphere is good though and the server was nice… But, whoever runs this place best hope Gordon Ramsay doesn’t come by for a quick bite. Good Lord…

Chips and salsa are great! Queso is $13 has a little kick but good! Chicken tacos are delicious! Cool place to eat!

Unfortunately food was served too cold. Food portions are very small. No sharable appetizers. My molcajete fajita was ok but extremely cold. We asked for a double size guacamole medium spice and as you can see in the picture the plate was big but half empty. Usually, other restaurants prepare the guacamole in front of you so you can ask for tomatoes, onions, cilantro, etc., to be added but they did not do it. Additionally no lemon and no spice at all. I end up asking for lemon and jalapeños to fix it. The salmon ceviche was served in a tiny cup so poor presentation. The vegetarian ceviche was better. Mocktails were good. Good customer service but could be more attentive. The server was training someone else so I guess this may affect the time to bring the food and because of this, it was served cold. National Harbor has so many dinning options thus, I do not think I will return.

My partner & I came for brunch on a Sunday at noon. There were few people in the restaurant when we arrived. We were quickly greeted by the hostess and asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. It was a bit warm outside, but we noticed it was a bit warm inside as well. We voiced this to the hostess, who relayed it would be cooler in the main dining area. It seems they were having issues with the AC. So we chose to sit inside, were seated at a booth, and were quickly tended to. Who doesn't love Rosa Mexicano guacamole? It is SO GOOD! That's the first thing we ordered ... spicy guac! The salsa is good as well. My partner is a chips & salsa maniac. I'll handle the guac! She ordered a mimosa flight. I just ordered the mango mimosa. I could have gone for more champagne and less mango juice, but I'll take it. My partner ordered the huevos rancheros, and I got the bacon & egg torta. I think both orders were Rosa Mexicano's take on the dishes. The huevos rancheros didn't look like I expected them to look, but my partner really enjoyed them! The torta was tasty. The bun was very soft and flavorful. You can't go wrong with bacon & eggs! It also had a sauce, I don't recall what it was, but it added to the sandwich. It came with fries. Our server, Jose Aquilera, was very attentive. Our chip bowl was never empty, and whatever we needed, he was quickly there to provide. The guac is what seals the deal everytime!

Server was Dania A 1. Asked for sparkling water, when it came I had to ask for ice and lime TWICE, which NEVER came. We drank warm sparkling water. 2. Daughter asked for sour cream, our server NEVER brought it, flagged down another server and got it. 3. Duck tacos were extremely dry. Did not bother complaining to her. 4. Asked before we ordered if we could get a small taste of the Burria, she didn't inquire or anything just said NO! 1 star because my daughter steak tacos were good 1 star because the guak was very good! We will not be back nor recommend! We usually tip 25% not this time!

DON'T GO HERE IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY! We sat down at the table and asked to speak to a manager about my brother's allergy. He has celiac disease which is a severe gluten allergy. The lady assured us that he would eat safely, WRONG! My brother got a quesadilla which we later found out was flour (which is made of gluten), it was a long night. He was throwing up for many hours. After being assured that he was going to eat safe and then feeding him PURE GLUTEN is not okay. 1 Star I don't have an allergy and my food was pretty good, I had the cheeseburger taco and chips with guacamole.

Good flavor, good portion sizes, good service. The beef brisket enchiladas come with rice on the side which is really good with the enchilada sauce.

Food was amazing and the guacamole was top notch. The preparation of the chicken tortilla soup was amazing and flavorful. Service was speedy and friendly. Went right in at reservation time.

Four stars for the service! My server was awesome once she finally got to my table. I waited for about 15 minutes for anyone to come bring me water or take my order. By the time someone showed up, I was ready to order. Now, for the food. I used to come here, maybe once every month or two when I first moved to this area. I really enjoyed this restaurant then. I hate to say this, but it has definitely fallen off quite a bit. Chops and salsa: chips need a little bit more salt and the salsa is bland. Guac: healthy portion size. Very fresh ingredients. Made it your table. I needed a little bit of salt. Chicken enchiladas: this really hurt my feelings. I used to enjoy these, but I would say these were a solid 2.75 to 3 stars out of five. They were cold, and the flavor was nothing like I remember. These were not as good as they should've been or as they used to be. Tortilla soup: lots of chicken and avocado, but the base was giving a burnt/roasted flavor and it was very oily. I wouldn't repeat it. Overall, I think this is the type of restaurant that gets visited by the conference goers in the area. It's definitely not the type of place. I would recommend my friends and I go to anymore. The ambience inside is very busy. I do recommend making a reservation if you do want to go. Again, the staff is great and very nice, but they can be a bit slow at first and the food is really not worth the price unless you have a coupon or app doscount.

Rosa Mexicano at National Harbor (Saturday Brunch) We had such a great experience at Rosa Mexicano this past Saturday. The Mexican Fried Rice was incredibly flavorful. I didn't even need the sauces that came with it. The guacamole was made fresh and paired perfectly with the warm, crispy chips. The service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of. We were seated immediately, but we arrived at 11:30 a.m. because the weather was beautiful and we knew it would fill up fast. The view from the outdoor seating area was just perfect. Overlooking the water, the Ferris wheel, and the lively National Harbor scene made for an amazing brunch atmosphere. Highly recommend for delicious food, great service, and unbeatable views.

Chips and salsa are great! Queso is $13 has a little kick but good! Chicken tacos are delicious! Cool place to eat!

I love that this restaurant is by the water and is really nicely decorated. The food was also fresh and delicious. I will say, the server we had was a bit pushy in getting us to order things we didn't want. But overall I enjoyed the restaurant.

Been here multiple times. It's our go to place at national harbor bc you can be inside or outside. Service is typically good and food is good too. Specially the guac. Yum. Overall a solid 4. I would rate them higher if they communicated better. Last time we were there they didn't tell us there was an AC issue until we were seated. Let us make that decision. Everyone was complaining. Didn't even try to give us a discount for our troubles either. So... that's why a 4... typically a solid 4.5... not 5 bc they have some minor service issues w not being attentive enough even tho I can see the servers not doing anything.

I have visited Rosa Mexicano before but this was my first time at this particular location. The service was okay, it did take a few minutes for my server to come over. I ordered the steak enchiladas which was served with a side of rice. The steak enchiladas were good. The rice was a little bland. I ordered the churros for dessert. They were served in a bag along with a raspberry and chocolate dipping sauce. I wish they had a caramel one! The churros were delicious.

Seemed understaffed when we went for lunch so unfortunately service is slower but all of the food is absolutely delicious. We got queso fundido with chorizo, birria tacos, and tableside guacamole. Everything was so good and luckily we weren't in a rush.

I've been here a couple of times for business meals and it's not too bad. Definitely have some things on the menu that are misses, but the stuff that's good makes up for it in my opinion. The fresh guacamole is really good and it's a huge portion! We always order at least 3 of them for the table. I've ordered the birria tacos and was slightly disappointed due to how small the tacos are. They taste good but leave you wanting more. If you have chips and salsa before, it may be enough food. I personally prefer the fajitas. They have a lot more food and also taste really good. Careful though because they are really REALLY hot (temperature wise). I burned my tongue a little when I had them due to how hot the bowl stays. The churros for dessert was good if you're craving a little something sweet after your meal. The service here is typically good. We are typically a larger group so they're usually pretty quick for how many people we have. The server this past time was a little pushy on trying to get the group to order more drinks than we wanted. We kept insisting that we were good with our 2-3 drinks each. The ambiance is nice. They have some good decorations and they make good use of lighting to make it feel more fancy than it is.

Overall a great experience for upscale Mexican food with a small hiccup that was quickly amended! Came here in March for a conference dinner. The price point is a lot steeper than a typical Mexican diner. However, the whole National Harbor area is expensive. We got appetizers of chips + guac and nachos. The guac was . We also had chicken enchiladas which were also delicious. For entree, I ordered Tampiquena which was recommended by the waitress. The steak was amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try the whole meal hot as my food mistakenly got cleared when I went to the bathroom. Luckily, the owner was kind enough to pack me a replacement meal to go, which I ate the following day. The churros as dessert were crunchy in the outside and soft on the inside. Very well done. The two sauces are strawberry and chocolate. I liked the chocolate more. Clean and upscale environment that's dimly lit. I'd rate this place a 4.5 if I could.

Much improved and lovely!! They've done some reorganizing of the space and it looks a bit more generic but the flow for guests and waitstaff is TREMENDOUSLY improved. They've also slimmed their menu which made ordering easier and I think definitely helped kitchen turnover. We loved the cocktails, the tacos, the pork. There were no insane lines even near peak dinner times. I recommend the cheeseburger tacos, though be warned as I was craving them again for days afterwards. It was just a perfect balance of crunch, fresh, cheese, and seasoned beef.

We stopped here on a Sunday for a quick lunch. My husband ordered nachos and I ordered a shrimp quesadilla. Service was prompt and pleasant. It was kinda noisy, but I wasn't turned off by it. I enjoyed the view. The food was good and I would return.

I like the ambiance of this place but I don't think the air was working. It was cooler outside than inside. We sat at the bar, it took a second for the young lady to take our drink order but she was nice. Had the shrimp quesadillas and it was good but definitely not work 25 bucks. The pomm margarita was good nothing exciting. They offer military discount but if it's a split check they only give it to one person. Nice view from the restaurant.

This was a great experience. The guacamole was wonderful. Our food was all good. The best part of the meal we're the cocktails. I really want to return.

Its a great spot, the service was great. The ambiance beautiful especially if you can sit outside overlooking the river and Ferris wheel. The food was ok. Not a must have place to go back to for us.

This is a spacious spot with seating available in both the bar and restaurant areas. When we arrived, there was a 25-minute wait, but the lobby had plenty of seating to accommodate us. True to their estimate, we were seated right around the 25-minute mark. Our waiter promptly brought chips, salsa, and water. He answered our questions and took our order without any issues. My wife chose the chicken enchiladas, which came with a generous amount of flavorful sauce (maybe a little too much). There were two good-sized enchiladas served with a side of rice. She thought they tasted good but mentioned she would have preferred a red sauce instead. I went with the Fajitas Molcajete (Steak & Shrimp). It arrived sizzling, which was a nice touch. The steak and shrimp were served on a bed of sautéed onions and bell peppers, accompanied by tortillas, rice, and refried black beans. While the presentation was appealing, I felt the $40 price tag didn't quite match the portion size--there were only four strips of steak and four shrimp. The beans were a bit too salty for my taste, and the rice was just average. On the bright side, the chips were fresh, and the salsa was excellent.

We really enjoyed Rosa Mexicano! I saw it passing by the other day and realized I had visited another location which is in Las Vegas. So we wanted to try this location and see if it is as good or better than what we had before. We were quickly seated on an early Monday evening. Our server was great and very attentive. I ordered a coke but my friend and son had water. I wanted an iced tea, but they do not have sweetener that I prefer for my unsweetened iced tea. I like sweet and low and some restaurants choose to only have like Stevia or brown sugar or something like that. I didn't think the Coca-Cola was very strong like bubbly so it felt a little flat. We ordered the table side guacamole, and it was so delicious. I loved it in Vegas so I was happy to see that this was the same flavor and freshness that we received on several visits to that location. I ordered the fish tacos for my entree. They were little small tacos but had a lot of cabbage. The fish was like a little fish nugget so it could've had a little bit more fish and a little bit more sauce with less cabbage, but they had a good taste to them. My friend got the salmon and she said that it was very fresh. The sauce with it is like a squash sauce, which we were surprised because it really kind of looked like a green pepper sauce, but it had a lot of veggies and she said it was cooked well. My son had kid chicken tacos that were good, but not a lot of food for him. He did get to vanilla ice cream and he was quite satisfied with that. So overall, we did enjoy this visit and I would definitely come back to this location again. The guacamole again is outstanding and it is the best guacamole I've had in any Mexican or Latin inspired restaurant ever. I am from Texas so when I say that it is amazing, I mean it with my whole heart. The chips are just right as they are thick enough. They have a good amount of seasoning where it doesn't taint the guacamole in anyway. We also really liked the salsa that they give you at the table. It was enough chips to not need a refill. Again definitely coming back!

Rosa Mexicano does a lot of things well. -Guacamole en molcajete: artfully prepared tableside with fresh avocados, jalapeños, red onions, and cilantro - super tasty. -Chips and salsa: the chips are sturdy which is very important for transporting large scoops of salsa from bowl to mouth. -Ambience: artfully decorated with liberal touches of pink. A few areas for improvement: -Lack of vegan options. While there are many dishes marked vegetarian and gluten free, the only actual vegan items are the guacamole and the jackfruit fajitas. None of the starters, empanadas, tacos, soups, salads, ceviches, enchiladas, or signature dishes are vegan. While I'm sure the jackfruit fajitas are lovely, when dining at a Mexican restaurant I anticipate having the option to choose. I really wanted tacos, however our server informed me none of the offerings could be made vegan, so instead I opted for the roasted mushroom enchiladas without cheese. The enchiladas themselves were delicious - excellent flavor with perfectly cooked mushrooms. The salsa verde wasn't my favorite - very tart, which overwhelmed the rest of the dish. -Speed of service. We were seated quickly, however it took more than a few minutes for our server to arrive, there were large gaps in between the timing of menu delivery and return for orders, and when we were ready to leave we had to proactively flag down someone to deliver the check. Pricing is in line with other restaurants in the area - a little steep but not catastrophically so. Overall Rosa's is fine, but it needs to add more plant based options and focus on streamlining the service.

Four of us ate dinner here on a Friday night. There was a 45 minute wait and the time was pretty accurate. It is a loud and large place. My friends had the fajitas which they really liked. I had fish tacos and was more than disappointed. The fish in each taco was less than the size two half dollars. Very small and a lot of batter. I get it is a tourist restaurant so they can charge a lot and not have to have great food. There are so many other good places in that area.. i probably wont go back.

I love this place and wish we had a closer location in dc. It was a bit cold inside but that's because it was the first cold front of the season. My friends and I shared the guacamole, which is freshly made and so good! I got the salmon and my friends got the nachos from the happy hour menu- take more of the picture: it is a bit of an unusual nacho - they maybe should rename it, although it tasted good. My other friend got the mini quesadillas, which she really enjoyed. They serve you salsa and chips at the table and refill it, as requested. The service was good overall. I highly suggest this place if you're in the area!

Three of us had dinner at Rosa Mexicano during the week of Podcast Movement last month. I've been to RM in New York and New Jersey, so I knew what to expect in terms of the menu. We went with Tableside guacamole to share. I ordered cheese enchilada for my main. The food did not disappoint - so good! Our waiter was very friendly and funny. I liked the restaurant space of the National Harbor location because of its views on the water, high ceilings, and lots of windows letting in natural light. The spacing between tables was comfortable, too. If you're staying at National Harbor for a conference, this is definitely a restaurant that will be popular with fellow attendees. The night we were there, it was pretty much the daytime hours earlier with all the familiar faces. The location is close walking distance to Gaylord and Residence Inn.

The only thing Rosa Mexicano has going for it is the view from the balcony and the vibe inside by the bar--it looked lit. Everything else? Straight trash. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas that tasted like bottled lime juice with mixers. After a few complaints, the waiter finally took it back. Things only got worse from there. The nachos came out and immediately gave everyone at our table a weird tingling sensation in our mouths and scratchy throats--like we were all trying to scratch the back of our throats by making that "pit" noise. I'm not allergic to anything listed on the menu, so whatever mystery ingredient they used needs to be investigated. Then came the entrees. The enchiladas were barely room temp, like they'd been prepped hours ago and left waiting in the back to be drafted by a table. And my poor shrimp , they could have at least microwaved it before serving. And it wasn't even a cold day. It was so bad we didn't even bother sending more stuff back--we just left. I used to enjoy Rosa Mexicano back in the day, but it's clear things have gone way downhill. This was a terrible experience and definitely not worth the money. Avoid.

Rosa Mexicano has redeemed themselves in my book! Went recently to celebrate my sister's birthday and even though we were running late for our reservation we still got amazing service! The food was delicious, i believe i had the Grilled Shrimp Alambre as well as the chips and guacamole appetizer. For drinks i got the Mango Chile which was refreshing and delicious as well! The restaurant is dimmed but gives the perfect ambiance for an intimate dinner. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be going back!

We went during taco tuesday, outside seating during sunset and it was AMAZING view. The food however did fall a little short. Outside of taco tuesday, we may not visit again. Taco Tuesday deals were reasonable so we decided to stay and eat there. Waiter was friendly and provided recommendation to enhance our experience, which we politely declined. We ordered steak tacos, chicken tacos, and shrimp. To our surprise, the chicken tacos included almost pulled chicken versus cubed but okay. Steak tacos were a bit chewy as it included strip steak versus cubed. & shrimp tacos which included a bit of the peeled tail and were okay. Steak tacos had different tortilla than the others and I preferred the steak tacos tortilla over the other "traditional" ones. We also had a mango sparkling drink- which was good. The price is a bit steep for the quality of food provided. Flavor and cooking style could be improved a little bit, as well as serving size to make the meal and price feel "worth while" Out of the entirety Rosa Mexicano has been at the harbor i've only visited a handful of times. Overall rating 3.5/5 it's just okay. nothing to rave about in terms of tacos. I'm sure the other food items on the menu are good.

Do you know when someone tells you not to do something or not to go to a particular establishment, but you do it anyway? Yeah, that's me. I wish I had listened. The hostess was great and all. I glanced at the menu, and it's not a typical Mexican restaurant it has a twist to it. I was looking for typical entrees like I would see at my beloved Guapos, etc.. Im Hispanic and Mexican food like nature in my home. So I know good Mexican food when I see it. The chips and salsa were mid.. ( no bueno) I was hoping for some type of heat, something that would make me happy. Nope. Okay. As I'm looking at the menu, I don't see much to choose from that I like. I had my eye on chilaquiles, but I was headed to an event and didn't wanna get messy. My server was okay. I just wish he was a bit attentive. It was 90 degrees, and my water jug was room temperature. Yet other tables got ice chilled water, but those tables had another server. I got duck tacos, something you really don't see at a Mexican restaurant. It had a unique taste. However, my tacos were so bland I had to ask for salt. My pineapples didn't look ripe. And the duck was dry and definitely not fresh. I did mention to my server about them, yet he didn't offer any solutions, just said ok. I decided to get dessert to forget my awful tacos... I chose flan. Flan is like an egg custard dessert. Let me tell you. This was the worst! I don't recommend this at all. The flan was worse than the tacos. My flan was so cold and firm. It seemed like it came from a freezer. It had no flavor, and worse, no caramel sauce!! I mean, I make this from scratch for the holidays. I was so disappointed. The food here needs work. This was my 2x here. Idk. Service is average. It wasn't that busy. But I left the restaurant more hungry and disappointed. I should have listened to my friends and read the reviews prior to my visit.

The food at Rosa Mexicano was pretty standard--nothing special, and it tasted kind of commercial, like it was batch-made. I'll admit, getting wine at a Mexican restaurant might've been on me, but their selection wasn't great, and what they had wasn't much better. It's located at National Harbor, so there's plenty to do around the area, which is a plus. The inside is cute, with lots of seating, so at least the atmosphere was nice. The service is pretty standard, but it is a decent option if you are out and do not have dinner reservations.

It's been a long time since I've been to Rosa Mexicano and the menu is quite different from what I remember. Me and my mom went for a late lunch and we're immediately seated. After being led to a table in the center of the restaurant we requested a window table and were accomdated. We started with some guacamole (medium spice level) and frozen mango margaritas. They were delicious! I opted for the chopped cheeseburger alambre tacos and mom had the baja style fish tacos. We were both very pleased with the taste of the tacos. We also ordered beans (frijoles borrachos) and rice on the side to round out the meal. Overall the meal and service was good and I would definitely come back again....sooner rather than later next time! The only miss is I didn't like the beans very much but since I haven't been in a while I don't know if the seasonings were off or if that's how they always taste.

Enchiladas were too thin but other food are good. Guacamole is delicious!!! Nice atmosphere

My server was not very attentive and she didn't listen well so she came back 3 times to ask us what 2 items we ordered as entrees. Once food arrived, the birria tacos were tasty just wish they came with a side of rice or pico de gallo. The shrimp alambre arrived with undercooked poblano rices and undercooked shrimp. All in all the dinner was an epic fail and I left hangrier than when I originally arrived.

Another holiday season at National Harbor, complete with a traditional visit to Rosa Mexicano. Six of us had a reservation and our table was ready upon arrival. We didn't mind the dirty seats as soon as the margaritas and sangrias arrived. The tableside guac was muy rico and our service was exceptional. We did experience something burning in the nearby kitchen which resulted in some dirty air and coughing all around, but that subsided quickly, and we were enjoying our entrees in no time. The portions this visit were noticeably smaller. The prices, however, were larger. The carnitas tacos and birria tacos were tasty. I do love the atmosphere here. Dim lighting and a view of the harbor create an intimate feel even if crowded.

Give it up for Red, y'all! Red was our bartender and what a GEM! I'll go back solely to have another Mexican coke at the bar. The interior is super cute and the views of the capital wheel really make it a great to dine outdoors. We ordered the tacos, guacamole, steak with shrimp, churros and key lime pie. I would order the steak medium next time instead of medium well and try something other than the churros( they weren't my favorite but still were decent) The bar started to get really busy after 5:30, so plan to arrive between 5-6 to secure a good seat. Parking is available both street side and garage. You have to pay for both options and if you park on the street just know the tickets are given for expired meters around the clock! 24/7

Rosa Mexicano used to be a favorite of mine, but sadly this establishment has gone down hill. I dined at Rosa on 8/1/24 and 8/10/24. On both occasions the restaurant was extremely warm and they had fans blowing to cool the restaurant. The servers were slow to come to the table, and not so friendly when speaking with guests. The food didn't appear to be as seasoned as it used to be and my steak was ordered to be medium and was brought out well done. On 8/10, we specifically arrive at 9 pm to partake in the late happy hour stated on the website and were told that info isn't correct and it's only Monday through Friday. The manager argued with us about it but ended up "allowing" us to do 2 happy hour rounds. He stated that the menus in the restaurant state the correct happy hour information, but they didn't. It honestly felt like this location was going against corporate's policy to take advantage of the consumers in the area. Had we arrived to the harbor earlier, we would have dined elsewhere, but other restaurants were closing soon. I will be reaching out to corporate about this issue.

Service was great!! And we were seated right by the window with the perfect view. The chips and salsa almost had us full because it was so good! The street corn was a 7/10. Enchiladas were a 8.5/10 they lack flavor in the meat but the sauce made up for it. The Mexican fried rice was AMAZING!! All and all, I'm happy with our choice!

My waiter was very attentive and kind. My food was pretty good and looked delicious! The only thing that wasn't great was the steak in the steak tacos was very touch and fatty.

We came here for drinks while waiting for our table at another establishment. Everyone enjoyed their selections with an exception of one who did not like her original order or her replacement. The pomegranate, blood orange and spicy pineapple margaritas were the table favorites.

Went here for a friend's birthday. The food was good, would like to go back and maybe sit in the bar area...just for the experience.

Rosa Mexicano is an upper-scale Mexican restaurant right across the National Harbor. My family and I were enjoying the Christmas vibes at Gaylord and chose Rosa for dinner. Their table side guacamole was so refreshing. We ordered the double portion, so we basically paid $35 just for guac lol but it was enjoyed by five hungry people. They have a nice variety of menu options from soups and salads to fajitas and steaks. I opted for their steak tacos. The only thing missing from this place is a more well-rounded open bar. They don't offer a lot of wines or non-marg options.

Came for Sunday brunch. Wanted to try something different. Food was pretty mediocre for what it was. My dish lacked flavor. I had something with seafood, and it was quite underwhelming. I didn't even finish it. Which is rare! Not bad, just meh. Service was pretty good. But I can't remember anything that stood out. Not bad by far, but just enough. We sat on the patio, as it was a nice breezy day. Overlooking the water was pretty calming. Would I return? Yes for an occasion if someone were celebrating here. But on my own, I can't say I would.

Unfortunately my partner and I had a "meh" experience here. Our biggest issue was the service - very slow, forgot portions of what we ordered, and just appeared rushed and not super friendly. The food was variable, we particularly liked the guacamole but the tacos and entrees were average/low average. The ambiance is cute, that was probably the best part!

I am so pleased with the private dining experience I planned with Honesty. I had a budget for a networking reception and she helped me to achieve an awesome experience and every detail was executed to perfection. The staff was gracious, food delicious, and the best part was our team got to know each other. Everything was amazing and we will be back.

Yall I had the steak and shrimp fajitas and it was the best fajitas I had in the DMV. The guacamole and chips and salsa were delicious. My friend had the birria and loved it. Customer service from time we entered until we left was awesome. The fajitas weren't on the menu but I was told it would be added to the menu. I can't wait to go back. I already know what I'm ordering :)

Rosa Mexicano is a lovely restaurant with waterfront views at National Harbor. Shoutout to B.K. who was our excellent server! The location of the restaurants is fantastic and the decor is lively and fun. The chips and salsa are delicious. The queso dip is yummy. My husband ordered the Shrimp Diablo and loved it. I had the Seafood Empanada....the seafood tasted good, but the overall flavor I kept tasting was the oil the empanada was fried in. Overall, this is a good restaurant to visit while at National Harbor.

My husband and I went here for a quick lunch and it took us a while to get seated, even though we had a reservation. We ordered the table guacamole to start and it was really good... much more flavorful than other restaurants where we've had table side guacamole. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and my husband had the vegetarian tacos. Mine were very bland and the shrimp were tiny. My husband said his were ok. Not sure I'd go back since so many other places do tacos so well.

This restaurant is located at National Harbor in Oxen Hill, Md. it is a large airy restaurant with outdoor and indoor dining options. It's a bit loud as restaurants in tourist areas tends to be. The decor is very nice with attractive art pieces on display I was there on a lunch date. We were able to converse easily so the noise was not too bad. The service was attentive and professional. The table side guacamole prep was a nice touch The guacamole was prepared in a mocahete which is the traditional manner of preparation. It was very tasty as well with plenty of warm crisp non greasy chips. I also had a ceviche sampler which had three different flavors and seafood ( flounder, salmon and tuna) One was sweet and spicy, one was a mayonnaise base and the third was a curry like taste. All good. Finally, I had the pork carnitas tacos which consisted of three small tacos with good pork flavor. The bill for the dip, appetizer and entree for two came to $100, which I consider reasonable given the quality of the food

It's hard for me to write reviews for Mexican food since I'm from Texas where you can easily get traditional Mexican food literally in every corner. The menu, it's different and has a twist to it. The food was okay. I got the brisket enchiladas. The sauce had no spicy flavor, it was just red sauce. I couldn't taste any chile flavor at all. Overall, it was just good. The Spanish rice was a little hard but I ate it, it seemed like it came from a premade bag, not authentic at all. Complimentary chips and salsa were okay, the salsa wasn't spicy or flavorful. I would come back but not for the food, the ambience was great. Drinks were perfection! Service was good. We had a reservation but got seated after our reservation time and there were plenty of open tables. Unsure why that happened. We had to ask them what the hold up was. Overall an okay place to visit! Not the best in DC but worth a try.
