Rosa Mexicano - First Avenue

Solid & reliable - large portions - fair prices - always a table available - comfortable and convenient. Decent, strongly above-average tastes & quality ingredients. Friendly, helpful staff. The guacamole is sublime. Likely to satisfy everyone in a diverse group - hard to go wrong here. Based on a recent takeout I've updated this old review from 4 to 5 stars

The place is very cozy . It is quite authentic, they bring you complementary chips and salsa. The guacamole is done live in front of you in a large bowl . The taste is very good . Quality Vs price ratio is very good ! Honestly , it is one of the best restaurants around the area. I ordered shrimps with rice . The place portion was exactly what I needed and the taste reminded me of Mexico. The staff were super nice (well not all of them , the lady making the bread was so mean to me for no reason , but I understand working next to the oven is not a pleasant thing and perhaps she was tired ) . The waiters were always smiling and welcoming . They kept checking on us but not in the creepy way. Conclusion: very nice experience, will def be back .

Good welcome into the resteraunt. They were able to seat our group of 8 in minutes on a Saturday night. Service was quick and attentive. I had the Pollo con mole the appearance was great, it looks very tasty. The mole had a good chocolate flavor little to no spice. The mole is also sparingly plated. My half chicken was fried which I was not aware of before ordering and do not prefer. Being a fried chicken. The breast was dry and the dark meat a bit undercooked. My group had tacos which were quite small compared to there prices. I was told they were great flavor tacos. We also had the guacamole prepared at the table which was very good and the salsa was tasty, not much spice or seasoning but fresh.
