We are in DC as tourists, and let me just start off by saying: if you are looking for some amazing Spanish food for a really reasonable price, this is, by far, the place to go to. We were served with exceptional service. The food came out very well presented, and the food was as good as it looked. The sauces were amazing. This was also my favorite meal in DC. Come here on your trip. It will 100% be worth it. I ordered the pollo abogado, and gosh it was the best decision I made. I have absolutely zero complaints!
Amazing food and incredible drinks. We had.the nachos with braised beef and were super impressed. It was small but everything tasted amazing and super fresh. The pomegranate margarita packs a punch but that could be because I was dehydrated walking around DC all day.
One of my favorite restaurants in DC. Everything I've ordered here is fantastic, well thought out, balanced and authentic. From the chips and salsa and guacamole, to any entree or side like their delicious elote, Rosa Mexicano is a cut above. It doesn't end there though, the service here is truly exceptional. I have always been welcomed like family by the staff. They never miss a beat and are magically on hand refilling your water, replacing a dropped napkin, or getting anything else you may need, yet remain unobtrusive. Eating here is a special experience that goes far beyond simply getting something to eat.
The food was good and their was endless refills of chips and salsa, which is always a plus but I thought the food was extremely overpriced and some of the dishes were portioned small. Beans and rice were not provided per plate but a small bowl was provided for the table. The atmosphere was nice but was quite loud, you had to almost yell to talk to the people at your table.
Best guacamole and strong margaritas. There is outside seating in this location. The bartenders are friendly and helpful. The great thing was I came here on a Saturday evening and they had more than one bartender available. Get the pineapple jalapeño margarita, shrimp tacos and quesadillas. You won’t be disappointed.
Get the guacamole, seriously. You know you want to and I promise it’s worth it. Not an easy place for vegans but vegetarians are totally set. I got the Tacos Hongos (mushroom veggies) and they were pretty perfect. They also provide a communal serving of rice and beans for the table which I thought was better than having a million plates of it with each entree. Drinks were also good but too pricey compared to other restaurants.
Food was tasty and well textured. But portion sizes were smaller than expected. Environment inside the restaurant is pleasant and design and art inside are unique and creative.

My first visit at this place and the food was delicious. By far the best mexician food i have had around that place. Our friend took us there and I dont what they call it, but the first picture you see tastes like a Mirchi Bajji (Indian Food) but bell pepper (instead of green chilli).. tasted heavenly! Go for it.
We reserved a table using the OpenTable app and were seated early and by the window. Our waiter was attentive and checked on us repeatedly.
I had a mojito, the tableside guacamole ( guacamole en molcajete), tres enchiladas and the flan de rosa. All of it was tasty and the food arrived promptly. The tres enchiladas were excellent as you get a sample of three different sauces.
The restaurant has a bar and bar seating to the left upon entry, the host stand to the right. The ceiling are high which provides an open feeling. Large windows surround the restaurant proving much to look, at and nice lighting.
It is conveniently located across the street from the Capitol One Arena, and the Gallery Place Metro station.
Absolutely delicious guacamole. Great chicken tacos. The fish was a bit dry and flavorless though, the chips were sometimes a bit too salty but the amazing guacamole made up for it. The carne asada quesadilla was also a bit salty but put some salsa on top and it's perfect. I would come back again if only for the guac.
