We have been here 3 times since my boyfriend was diagnosed with Celiac. The 2nd time he had mild issues the next day and the 3rd time he was miserable the next day. It's a shame because we were psyched to have this restaurant still available to us and we will not be going back now. The cross contamination risk is too great and the staff currently seems to have too many tables to work at any one time.

Lots of GF options. We started with chips and salsa. Then moved on to some guacamole that they made at our table. For the main course we shared a Tampiquena (Grilled certified angus beef ny strip steak, cheese enchilada, mexican rice, refried beans, queso fresco, guacamole, corn tortillas). It was excellent. For dessert we had the flan which was somewhat disappointing. It was the a very heavy flan but it tasted good.

Food is really good - GF marked on the menu. Queso! Dedicated fryer (free chips and salsa)!The service was almost non-existent and we had to flag someone down any time we needed anything at all. And this was at 2:30/3 pm, not rush. We were also charged double for taco Tuesday instead of the stated price of half off all tacos. I’m willing to give it another shot because of how good it was.

Ate here twice on my trip - I used to live in New York and would frequent this place before I was diagnosed. I was so happy to know I could still enjoy it. I had the Birria Quesatacos - to die for - guacamole, sweet corn esquites, and flan. If you’re a fan of street corn, the sweet corn esquites was delicious! Good service and fun vibes all around.

Great experience here! I ordered delivery takeout, and got the Budin with vegetables entree and the guacamole and chips starter. I labeled both items as celiac/gluten free with my delivery. The food was great and I didn’t get sick! Would eat here again. Only complaint is the gluten free labels are not consistent between the online menu and the Grubhub menu, but I ordered items that were labeled gluten free on both to be safe.

I had a wonderful experience ordering online from here. I was able to write a note saying I had Celiac disease and needed everything to be gluten free. Once I placed the order, the chef from the restaurant called me to tell me that she would take all necessary precautions. She told me cross contamination was limited (they have a dedicated gf fryer to their chips and tortillas). They included a handwritten note that specified that my meal was 100% gluten free. I would definitely eat here again and recommend it to others!

Wonderful, safe food! Items clearly marked on the menu as GF and the waiter explained to me how the chips are fried with just canola oil in a separate fryer. I had the portabella tacos and a margarita and it was absolutely delicious and inexpensive for NYC! Absolutely would return.

I’m gluten and Dairy Free. After looking for dairy free on this app, this restaurant came up. The menu is clearly marked for gluten free, but not for dairy. And although they list the ingredients, they don’t always list dairy. I asked for no cheese on the main meal but didn’t know the zucchini noodles and beans and rice would have cheese on them. When our meal came everything had cheese on it and they told us they could not make that meal without the cheese. So I asked for the menu again and the waiter shook his head walking away. We re-ordered making sure there was no cheese. There were only about 3 options. I will give them points because the manager personally came to our table, explained what happened, and made sure our food was good to go and had the kitchen rush it out. It was very good in the end. Just some miscommunication.

As someone w Celiac Disease, eating out requires homework, and a great server who understands dietary restrictions, and will communicate w the chef. Mine was perfect. All food was served properly, and he assure me that all were gluten free. Rosa Mexicano delivered true gluten free (no criss contamination) entrees that made me feel like a normal diner.

Flavorful and safe!! The employees didn't bat an eye at gluten free and even assured us that certain tortillas and chips were made from corn, not gluten. This is delicious AUTHENTIC Mexican food! You have to try their guacamole salsa- it goes from a whole avocado and toppings to an amazing salsa right before your eyes! Even the shy ones with the green salsa in our party were addicted. It was so good that I hope to make a similar recipe at home! Rosa Mexicano is a celiac safe feast!

Although I'm confident it's not gluten making me sick here- it's all the fatty sauces, I just can't understand why anyone likes this place. I live so close, it would be the easiest place to meet people and enjoy dinner. But no matter what GF dish I order, I can't eat but a few bites before the fat is separating on the dish and I'm grossed out. So in a pinch I would go here because it's celiac safe but the food is sooo overpriced even as a New Yorker who loves her food and is willing to pay for it.

Be careful! The GF menu has items with the same exact names as the non-GF menu. I ordered from the GF menu, but they brought me something battered and fried; they agreed it was full of gluten, and the GF version was supposed to be roasted, not fried. We're not sure at what point the mistake was made, so take extra precaution when ordering.

I also advised them to name the GF version "roasted..." and the regular "fried..." on the respective menus to avoid confusion, but a glance at the menu recently showed they didn't take my suggestion.

Read the reviews & it started out as a great experience. Server confirmed they could do gf, have a separate deep fryer and understood the severity of celiac.

Until they delivered the tacos with a flour tortilla instead of a corn tortilla listed. Took one bite and knew something was wrong.

Wait staff tried to say I ordered the wrong item despite verifying multiple times that it would be gluten free.

Wouldn’t recommend.

So many GF options all over the menu!! Be sure to get the GUACAMOLE EN MOLCAJETE. It's made tableside. The pink chips (and salsa) are GF. I enjoyed the QUESO FUNDIDO (to die for!), CHICKEN SUIZAS (enchiladas), rice and black refried beans. The server communicated with the cook about my allergy and took it very seriously.

My teen has celiac and is both very sensitive and very anxious about getting sick eating outside the home. The menu is marked with GF symbols at all the safe items and our server, Alex, was clearly well trained and familiar with what was safe for our son. His knowledge eased my son’s worries. Everything was great!
