    The overall experience was good. Food and drinks were awesome. I think the service could have been a little faster, but it was pretty busy that night.

    I usually go to the one in Manhattan & enjoy it but cannot say the same here, I was very disappointed in Maryland so I find myself writing my first negative review in hopes of people knowing what to expect. The guac had so much onion, tomato, & cilantro in it, that you couldn’t taste the avocado. The fried plantains were burnt which I don’t like the taste of anything burnt. The crispy shrimp appetizer had so much sauce on it I couldn’t even eat it. They have a stand on every table promoting paying with the QR code & then charge $3.50 to do it without notice. The skirt steak was the only thing we liked but the potatoes that came with it tasted like vinegar. While I feel bad writing a negative review I wish I would’ve known what I was getting into. Definitely Would not return.

    We felt spoiled by our server, she provided excellent advice on food details, to ensure we'd enjoy our choices. She was perfectly attentive and showed truly professional forethought to all our dining needs, from bringing extra chips when all our apps arrived, to giving us special containers for our take- home remainders. We're going to be back very soon!

    A very good visit to Rosa Mexicano. While the food was very good, especially served in the hot coral bowls, I simply can’t say enough good things about their margaritas. Simply the best in-restaurant margarita I have had.

    Not enough food options. Dry food. Service extremely slow. Was 1 pm when we got steaks WITH THE bill offered. Steaks were medium when one steak was supposed to be well done. My husband was never offered another iced tea after he devoured it when it arrived. Dessert to go. Not enough party favors- just noise makers. No 2025 paraphernalia offered. Just disappointed. Espresso martini took 1.2 hours to arrive :(. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
