Rosa Mexicano is a Hella-Nooo

If taste was based on decor, then Rosa Mexicano would be delicious but unfortunately it isn't. Located at: 245 18th Street Northwest, Atlanta, GA 30363 in the heart of Atlantic Station, Zagat must have been drunk off the Pomegrante margaritas when they gave them a try.  The bold mexican taste that they promise is nowhere to be found.  The quality of the food is pretty embrassing especially for the prices they are offered at.

I do however believe in dishing out credit where it is due, please give a round of applause for this bowl of green mush heaven also known as Guacamole en Molcajete. 

Its pretty damn good as they bring all the ingredients tableside and go to work.    The avacodas are such buttery goodness its borderline sinful. The contrast of the fresh cilantro, onion, jalapeno and tomatoes are the pure perfection.  They then serve it in the cutest lava mortar (he smiles at you).

When it comes to entrees there is a lot left to be desired. 

Vegetales a la Brasa- Skillet Roasted Vegetables = I dont believe that anyone should ever pay $25 dollars for Wal-Mart's frozen mixed vegetables.  They might have ran out of veggies that evening but should have at least warned the hungry gremlins awaiting something delicious.  The steamed carrots in the uniform cube shape, peas and corn niblets they pass off as the vegetarian entree makes the best of the vegans run for a burger. 

Tostadas de Huachinago- Red Snapper Tostadas=  MENTIONS NOTHING ABOUT BEING RAW!!!  Presentation was visually appetizing.

Salmon en Manchamanteles- Salmon Filet with Tropical Fruit Mole-  The taste was pretty bland, I definitely expected more.  I could have stayed home for a better tasting salmon.

Food wise, I'm extremely disappointed with the cuisine.  Thank god for good company and top shelf liquor.
