Nikki came into town on Monday night and our first outing was to head to Rosa Mexicana, an upscale Mexican restaurant in Chinatown. We took the bus/metro over and arrived early, so we walked around the block to see the Capital and some of the buildings in the area then headed back for our 8:30 reservations. The interior was trendy, white table cloths, good music, vaguely mexican themed. There specialties were supposedly their guacamole and margheritas, so we ordered both.
The guacamole, was pretty good, very fresh if a little bit on the bland side. They provide a medium and a hot sauce to go with it to spice it. The medium is a green sauce without a ton of flavor, and the hot was a chipotle barbecue flavor that overpowers it so not really impressed there. I ordered a basic margherita on the rocks with salt and it was very stiff. If your looking for a strong drink I guess that is good, but all I could taste was the alcohol so I was not a fan.
Dinner was much better. I ordered some chicken enchiladas with mole and it was amazing. Spicy and flavorful. I was going to take half home but could not stop eating. They brought out yellow rice and a black bean puree for the table that was also really good, even though I rarely eat the rice and beans.
