About
Unlike many Mexican spots in New York, Rosa Mexicano on the Upper West Side serves its famous tableside guacamole in a space designed by David Rockwell. The room features a 30-foot iridescent blue tile water wall with 240 miniature cliff divers, plus a dramatic floating staircase made of orange and red terrazzo slabs. Backlit panels behind the bar are embedded with rose petals. The vibe is lively and mixed, drawing a family-friendly, straight-and-gay crowd. They serve modern Mexican fare with a twist, and it's a popular spot for Sunday brunch.
You'll find outdoor seating when the weather cooperates, and the full bar makes happy hour worth a stop. The restaurant takes reservations, so book ahead if you're targeting a weekend dinner. It's just steps from Lincoln Center, making it a convenient pre-show choice.
