Tex-Mex spot serving flour tortilla tacos, creative cocktails
"Yellow Rose specializes in pressed-to-order tortillas made with Sonoran flour. You can see these blistered, perfect discs in action via one of their excellent bean and cheese tacos or a taco stuffed with braised carne guisada. You should also try their doughnuts (available on weekends), zingy vegan queso made from cashews, and Texas sheet cake that you’ll want to hide in your fridge and eat at midnight. Stop by for breakfast tacos in the morning or a casual dinner with a friend at night." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja
"Yellow Rose’s tortillas are integral to most of the short, squiggly-font menu. Their Sonoran-style flour tortillas are perfectly chewy and blistered, and you should enjoy them in the form of a couple of tacos. The East Village restaurant is large, rustic, and the perfect spot for a casual brunch or weeknight dinner. Other than the bean and cheese, our favorites are the papas rancheras and the carne guisada. The components at play may seem straightforward, but the textures will convince you to come back for more." - neha talreja, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus, willa moore, will hartman
"This East Village Texan spot is great at any hour, but we especially like coming for brunch, which feels like a collab between IHOP and Dolly Parton with floral wallpaper and mismatched old lamps. Get a cocktail and a few kolaches to start, then stock up on tacos, like the smoked bacon and carne guisada on fresh flour tortillas. They also serve a rotating menu of incredibly light and fluffy doughnuts on weekends." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
"Yellow Rose is a great place to live out your saloon fantasy of a bartender sliding a glass of unknown brown liquor down a weathered bar. It's also a great place to eat delicacies of Southern Texas (lots of beans, shredded cheese, and carne guisada). But after around 6:30, this small East Village spot gets stampeded. The vintage Texas rodeo and music posters vanish in a sea of black leather-clad margarita drinkers. Come in early, before the crowds, so you can actually hear every croon of Willie Nelson’s voice." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja
"An East Village Tex‑Mex favorite that sometimes pops up with notable doughnut desserts, demonstrating an inventive crossover between casual regional cuisine and standout sweet treats." - Regan Stephens
