Description

It's not just the wide swath of Mexico-Mexico City, Oaxaca, even the Yucatan-that makes Taco Rosa one of the few truly successful gourmet Mexican restaurants. Taco Rosa succeeds because its few tweaks are Mexican-based and surprising. Ask for the aguas frescas, and instead of horchata, waiters will recommend a frosted, freshly squeezed cup of cantaloupe or melon-¡delicioso!

  • 2011 | Best Margarita

    Forget El Cholo, Javier's, El Torito, Acapulco's and the rest of the chains with their cheesy Cadillac margaritas featuring irritating salt crystals on the rim. There are nine different margaritas to choose from at Taco Rosa, everything from the "De Jamaica," which isn't ganja- or rum-based, as the Caribbean-sounding name might suggest, but rather contains, you know, jamaica (hibiscus flower) to the mojito-ish "La Cubana," which combines silver tequila, crushed mint, orange liquer and the...

  • 2008 | Best Margarita

    Hibiscus flowers in a margarita? Yes, please. Combining Leyenda del Milagro silver tequila, Cointreau, and Taco Rosa's homemade sweet and sour, the Calderon brothers have created something magical: not too sweet or flowery, just delicious. The perfect cocktail to sip while relaxing on a patio, enjoying a temperate breeze and watching people flit through a busy shopping center. More »
