About Rosa Mexicano

Rosa Mexicano, established in 1984, introduced what was then a “new” cuisine to the Manhattan restaurant scene when it opened its original Midtown East location.  In 2000, the next generation of Rosa Mexicano was ushered in with the opening of a second location near Lincoln Center, once again breaking new ground by featuring a stunning modern interior inspired by contemporary Mexican architecture and establishing the vibrant signature style of restaurants to come.  In 2003, the first Rosa Mexicano opened outside of New York City in Washington, DC’s bustling Penn Quarter.  The growing restaurant group has expanded with new locations near Manhattan’s Union Square; Atlanta, GA; Miami, FL; Hackensack, NJ; and National Harbor, MD.  With eight locations throughout the East Coast, Rosa Mexicano has additional restaurants planned for Los Angeles and Chicago.  Rosa Mexicano continues its commitment to delivering authentic Mexican cuisine in an accessible, stylish and festive atmosphere.  Rosa Mexicano Kitchen now offers these same authentic flavors at home with a new line of gourmet soups, stocks, cooking sauces, salsas and corn chips, available at www.rosamexicano.com and select stores across the country.
