Rosa Mexicano opened its doors in 1984 to introduce New Yorkers to upscale, authentic Mexican cuisine. From the traditional amate gods that greet you at the front entrance to the papel picado hanging from the ceiling, old world charm permeates your dining experience from the moment you arrive. Corn tortillas are made on site and an exposition grill helps to further seduce your senses. With its warm ambience and outstanding cuisine, Rosa Mexicano on First Avenue has remained a perennial New York favorite for nearly 20 years
