Rosa Mexicano

ASSI - The Rosa Mexicano was not my first choice for Mexican food, I was in the mood for the Red Sage a Mexican restaurant located on the corner of 14th and F Streets, N.W, but to my surprise white paper outlined with blue painters tape adorned the windows. Locating convenient street parking downtown, D.C. on a Saturday afternoon can be challenging on event days at the Verizon center, especially if you do not have coins for the meter. In spite of the Delirium, A Cirque du Soleil Live Music Concernt at the Verizon center, parking was not an issue. There were a number of people enjoying their meal on the patio, the bugs were somewhat kind, the space between tables lacked proper elbow room, the complimentary nachos and salsa came as an appetizer; however, the manager removed them from the bill. I had chicken quasadia, tortilla was flavorful, but the chicken - it headed for the boarder. Althought the drinks were small and pricey, they were quality drinks, and the service was okay.

ASHI - The Rosa Mexicano was a interesting experience. The restaurant had a beautiful ambience as soon as you walk in. We chose to sit outside, patio view, to enjoy the beautiful sunny day with a breeze. The service was fair, young staff, well groomed and neatly dressed. There was a bit of a language barrier due to the fact that most of the staff were foreign. I felt that there were not enough items on the menu. The drinks were small in quantity but large in price. I chose to have the soup and two Grand Mariners as a meal. I am not a big fan of Mexican food and I was hoping that they would have a larger selection on the menu.

As we see it the Rosa Mexicano receives two eyeballs -blink blink
