Over the weekend I was treated to a gourmet Mexican meal. My parents were in town so we caught an early, pre-Broadway-show dinner at Rosa Mexicano, just north of Columbus Circle. The decor wasn't that of an authentic Mexican restaurant, in fact, it felt more like a fine dining experience, but the food was the genuine, juicy style I'm used to from growing up in California. We got to watch our server make us fresh guacamole, adding the onion, cilantro, tomatoes, etc., according to our preference. We ordered family-style (in honor of family of course) and started with chicken tortilla soup and empenadas. The empenadas were a little too thick and doughy, but the soup was rich and delicious and easily could have served as someone's entree. Next we split chicken tacos, skirt steak, and scallop seviche. The tacos came with creamy refried black beans, cilantro rice, and skillet style chicken with slow-cooked peppers. Our steak was prepared rare and juicy and came with a side of shrimp, and the seviche was spicy yet refreshing. We finished the meal with an order of plantains. Needless to say our meal was delicious, and I will return once I save up some money. Only problem, for me, is that it isn't quite affordable for a recent college grad who shops at TJs.
