    This particular Rosa Mexicana was disappointing. The food was just Fair. We sat in a booth, place needs new seats. Restaurant was clean and server was attentive. Hostesses not friendly.

    I used to eat at Rosa when it was in Penn Quarter. Honestly the food at National Harbor was a bit of upgrade. I will certainly become a regular again.

    Celebrated my wedding anniversary with dinner and drinks at Rosa Mexicano, the staff was amazing, friendly and attentive! They surprised us with a happy anniversary dessert that made our night all the better! Would definitely recommend.

    My family and I previously dined at the Rosa Mexicano in Orlando this past summer. We absolutely loved our dining experience at that location! When we recently visited National Harbor for a weekend trip, we were excited to visit the Rosa Mexicano location during our stay. Unfortunately, overall, we were very disappointed in our experience at National Harbor. Most disappointing was the food. Everything lacked flavor compared to our previous experience even though we all ordered the same dishes that we enjoyed so much from our Orlando experience. My wife and son both shared the table side guacamole that was prepared at a medium spice level. They both found it lacked flavor. They asked to have it made spicier, but that didn’t help. My wife and I both ordered the Mexican fried rice. Both of us found the dish to be so much less flavorful than our previous experience. I also ordered the chorizo sausage, which didn’t even look the same as before. It was red verses brown and it had a texture similar to a plant-based sausage, and again it lacked flavor. My son had beef tacos. He complained that the soft shells on the tacos had a weird taste. He ended up using the flour tortillas that came with my sausages, which he liked better. Again, just such a different experience than we had in Orlando. Since there are not any Rosa Mexicano locations closer to home, we won’t be able to see if this experience was just a location-based issue or a change in food quality across all their restaurants.

    Our server was great (Jose A). The staff that made the table-side guacamole NEVER engaged with us. We would have made different decisions if she had (i.e., fewer onions, more jalapeño). Disappointing.
