Rosa Mexicano

Beautiful restaurant. Make a reservation. Excellent service and food presentation. The complimentary app and dessert was delicious. The queso fundido was good as well. The entrees were very underwhelming. Our waiter also gave our leftovers away to another table. We had a large portion of steak and potatoes and one enchilada left. They said they would send us home with something from the kitchen. The containers were closed and wrapped so I checked them this morning and there are a few enchiladas and a tiny side of beans. What happened to my $40 steak?! I even tipped 20% because I thought they took care of us. I'll be calling the manager today.

This place is now called Zicatela. Great views and fun vibe. We were staying at the W and wanted to check out the town and found this place. Lots of other places around this on the street to consider as well. Food was not that great , average quality but it's all about the vibe and views. Service was ok, servers are quite insistent on tips at the same % as in the US, our server really insisted for 20% or more. Watch out for how much you spend here.

Mmm yum, margs, seafood and entertainment with a view! This area is still pretty quiet due to COVID, I don't think tourism has fully come back yet which made it very easy to get a table overlooking the beach. The service is really great and there was live music. We started out with some ceviche and margaritas and salsa. The roasted salsa is BOMB, they crush the tomatoes in front of you and rarely do you get warm salsa and it is so good! The ajillo jumbo shrimp was the BEST dish of the night, I highly recommend it!

CLOSED!

This is now a new restaurant that opened a month ago. Lots of interesting dishes. A bit pricey but very good.

Came in for dinner on the 2nd night of our trip. My wife and I were able to get a table right on the water. The hostess originally was a little reluctant to offer that to us but after a brief 30 minute wait we got a great table that was worth it.

We ordered the pork conchil as an appetizer. The whole restaurant smells like this amazing wood burning oven and pork that is slowly cooking and it is unreal. We had to order it. The pork was amazing.

We also ordered the table side guacamole for an app and it was amazing. They added in avocado oil to the guac which gives it a great consistency and taste. They had the best house made chips to dip into the guac. So good.

For entrees I ordered garlic butter prawns and my wife ordered the chicken enchiladas. Chicken enchilada were meh. Prawns were huge and really tasty.

We are here for a wedding rehearsal and having so much fun. There are 200 of f us and they did a great job. Gustavo is Amazing.
Thank you so much.

Now known as Zicatela, they have excellent food, service and view! I would recommend eating here if your are visiting..

This place is rated #1 best restaurant on TripAdvisor and highly rated on Yelp

Most people said you need to book Rosa twice during your trip which is what we did

It was our first night in Punta Mita and we went out with another family. Nine of us

I knew we were in trouble when it took 30 minutes to get our margaritas

The guacamole was good and the salsa was good but that was where it ended

All our meals were overcooked and ice cold and most of the dishes they got wrong

They apologized but it wasn't enough

The service was bad. The waiter staff had no clue what they were doing. Although the management comped our meal, I would have gladly paid to have had a nice experience

In the end I also cancelled my second reservation

I do not recommend this place at all. Go to Si Señor or Blue Shrimp which are a few restaurants away from Rosa

What a great little local restaurant on the water. It is casual and open air and we had dinner and drinks as the sun set all around us. Sam and Mauricio took wonderful care of us there too. There were 8 of us and we ended up doing a family style dinner where Sam just sent out the best of the best dishes. Everything was great, would highly recommend!

Excellent meal and experience! We requested authentic Mexican cuisine from the concierge in the hotel. All three concierge advised rosa Mexicano at the same time. Other local restaurants have Food for tourists, this is the locals choice.
We were greeted by Arcadio, who is the manager, and he was so great throughout the meal. He seemed personally interested in us having a good experience.
The fresh salsa made at our table was such a delicious way to start our meal. Manuel guided us through the ingredients and preparation. Not sure I've ever had salsa that fresh and tasty. Then he made us guacamole at the table with the same preparation. So good!!!!!
For entree I had the fresh red snapper and my wife had the huge local shrimps. We were both really really happy with the entire meal. Only bummer was we were too full to try dessert. I definitely highly recommend!!!!!!!!
