   Great atmosphere! The staff were all friendly and so accommodating. I had the steak tacos, which were wonderful, and we had guacamole at the table.

   Love Rosa’s but they have to do something to tamper the noise level. You have to yell at the hostess and at your table just to be heard.

   I wanted to enjoy this so much more, but unfortunately I found the staff to be haste and make my group feel rushed. We multiple times had to flag down our server rather than be checked on, and the host that evening was a bit chaotic. Our table was sandwiched closely between two groups (our backs touching theirs) and we had to ask for an additional chair, which we were told may or may not happen even though multiple empty chairs surrounded us. It was hard to enjoy the experience when it's so loud and people are running back and forth. Overall the food was the best part (as it always is) but the vibes were not great. I wouldn't necessarily put it as my first choice in the LC area and I'm not sure I would recommend to anyone else in the future.

   Stay away . . . Rosa has seen better days. I have always enjoyed Rosa Mexicano and the food has always been consistently great. On my last trip, I was very disappointed with the drop in service. Almost 20 minutes between every response/request. Finally, completely ignored as we sat with Broadway tickets. Almost 40 minutes passed before we were able to track down someone to bring us a bill. The food is also slipping. The portions are getting considerably smaller. It is inexcusable to allow a diner to go over 30 / 40 minutes with absolutely no interaction from the staff. My "Go To" just became a restaurant to avoid. I'll be watching the reviews to see if the ratings improve. Not your best Rosa! I hope you pick it up!

    Even though we had a reservation at 6:30 we were not seated until 7. They only had one server that was working inside and outside at the same time. So we also had to wait to place our order. The shrimp tacos were cold but the plantains were really good. The drink were good. All in all it was a very expensive dinner with a huge wait. I would not come back since the food was only okay and the service sucked. Our server was nice but doing the job of three people.

    Overall excellent. It was a bit noisy and I didn’t like the corn tortillas. Other than that it was very good. Table side guacamole was delicious and the paradillas for two would have fed four! I would definitely come back.

    Piatti della tradizione messicana preparati bene e con ingredienti di qualità. Da segnalare l’ottimo guacamole. Atmosfera piacevole anche se un po’ rumorosa. Ma è inevitabile, dato che il ristorante è molto frequentato da gruppi familiari. Servizio premuroso. Prezzi abbordabili in relazione alle medie della città.

    A neighborhood favorite! The guacamole is a must. If you like pork, the pork shank is delicious. When in the mood for something lighter, I like the shrimp tacos.

    The Verde sauce on my Enchiladas Suizas was the best I’ve ever had! Our waiter asked us if we were going to a Show to make sure we got there on time. Delicious table made Guacamole and loved the Signature Pomegranate Margarita. Perfect location at Lincoln Center if you’re going to the Opera!

    Been coming here a long time but must say that while the wait staff is amazing; the manager Brian I think, is extremely rude and dismissive. They really need to address his attitude since I’ve seen it with many people.

    Drinks and guacamole were good. Tortilla soup was awful, and caesar salad was limp. The host wouldn't seat me until my friend arrived, even though it was 5 minutes before the reservation. Bad behavior, and no one said hello when I got there.

    It was busy, so the Manager sat us outside and then nobody came to us for water for a long time. We had to get someone's attention by walking back inside just to order and then didn't get our entrees until 75 minutes after we had arrived, after watching people who had been sat 30 mins after us finish their meals! Ridiculous!

    Food is tasty and the portions large; we almost always have something to take home. Nachos and one main course will be enough for most couples.

    The best part of the meal was the dessert. The flan was tasty and the lime tart, delicious. Otherwise food was very mediocre and, although it was advertised as, “good for sharing,” we were shocked by the stingy portion of the chiles rellenos: For $20 we got one small pepper stuffed with vegetables—no meat in sight—with a side of undercooked yellow rice. We would only come back because of the convenient location across the street from Lincoln Center.

    Overall the place was adequate. I would go again. Noting extraordinary. I had the steak medium and it was well prepared. The rice with refried beans was ok. The disappointment was the tres Leche cake. Nice presentation but the texture fell apart. The service was very good. He was sensitive to my allergy to avocado.

    Good option before a show at Lincoln Center. We were a little neglected by server at first having to wait 5 minutes for a menu then about 5-10 minutes to place our order. But then food came promptly and it was very good. Noise level could have been lower for our preference. But all part of a fun and lively restaurant.

    The table where we sat was almost in the kitchen. The guacamole lacked real flavor as did the mushroom tacos and duck tacos. We have eaten there several times before and really enjoyed our dining experiences. This time was not that good and unfortunate since it was one of our four dinner selections during our annual visit to NYC.

    Beautifully decorated Everything nearly perfect I didn’t like the first table we brought to The place wasn’t full yet We had an 11:30 AM reservation - so it shouldn’t be a problem - I could see the service station from that point of view We were brought upstairs offered a better table The cooking is very good The menu is excellent The guac is great The value for ones dollar is excellent - I really don’t think one could do better in New York in such a well designed restaurant We were two but I noticed the restaurant accommodates larger groups very well Everyone looked like they were having a great time
