Guac n' Roll

Some Mondays just call for margaritas. With my Mom and sister in agreement, we all headed to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants - Rosa Mexicano.

We first stumbled upon this restaurant when we were in NYC. Loving their funky interior, great atmosphere, and even greater food and drinks; we were bummed we would only get to enjoy it when visiting the city. As luck would have it though, they opened up a location in Boston not too long after!

Located right next to the Seaport hotel, it's a great spot to meet up over drinks and/or dinner.
What's great too is they have complimentary valet parking - definitely an added bonus... especially if, like us, you and your party all are coming from different places and had to travel separately.

After saying our "hellos," we ordered our drinks and settled into our menus.
It was quickly decided on that table-side guacamole was a must. And a few minutes later, it was being whipped up right in front of us.

  

 

 Guac and a margarita on the rocks with salt - I think I could live off the stuff.

We were guac n' rollin'...

 

and Mom was getting all fancy with her frozen pomegranate margarita.

And although we most certainly could have made a meal off of the chips and dip alone, the menu options sounded  too delicious to  pass on. 

Among our selections, we had:

 Ceviche tacos. Nice and light!

Rolled crispy chicken tacos. Very tasty!

Grilled filet mignon, chorizo sausage, tomatoes and serrano

peppers, served over herbed brown rice with tomatillo and

tomato-chipotle sauces. 

This was really good. Although I did accidentally eat a whole pepper in one mouthful. Serious spiciness right there.

Slow braised short ribs -

Tequila and beer-marinated boneless short ribs served with house

rice with a smoky tomatillo-tomato-chipotle sauce, and topped

with tri-colored roasted peppers. 

 

Fiesta in my tummy is how I'd sum this one up. It melted in your mouth and was extremely flavorful.

 

As we savored the yumminess of the food in front of us, we also enjoyed looking at the restaurant's cool wall waterfall.

 

A whole wall is essentially a waterfall, with figures of a diver in the various stages/positions of a dive. 

I thought it was pretty cool at least. 

We finished our Mexican food fest with what else, sweets!

Fried plantains with queso fresco and crema to be exact.

They may not look like anything special, but believe me - they're good. Not too sweet, but sweet enough - they're were the perfect ending for the night's meal.

Mexican/Margarita Mondays should become a thing. And if they are already a thing, well then they have 3 more fans!
