Rosa Mexicano's original Midtown East location at 1063 First Avenue (at 58th Street) continues to serve its signature menu amidst rustic, handcrafted furnishings. Rosa's Lincoln Center location at 61 Columbus Avenue (at 62nd Street), which opened in 2000, represents the beginning of Rosa's next generation. With a soaring David Rockwell-designed dining room, this second location delivers Rosa's singular brand of Mexican cuisine in a modern, stunning space. Design features include a grand staircase of "floating" orange and red terrazzo stone slabs, a 30-foot water wall made of iridescent blue glass tiles with legions of cliff diver figurines, hammered metal panels by artist Brad Oldham, and rose-themed mosaics by renowned craftsman Michael Palladino. In the nearly two decades since it was co-founded by Josefina Howard, Rosa Mexicano's winning combination of authentic Mexican cuisine in a vibrant, jubilant atmosphere has garnered Rosa Mexicano attention in Gourmet, Food & Wine, Martha Stewart Living, and Time Magazine. Additionally, Rosa Mexicano has earned the title of "Best Mexican" in New York Magazine and on CitySearch.com year after successful year. Thank you for visiting Rosa Mexicano online!
