You know us here at
TPKBAGS (that's Mr. Hipster's Booze & Grub Survey). We love the
Mexican food. We grew up with it. We cherish it and hold it close
to our hearts. It reminds us of home,
and brings a smile to our drunken, tequila-filled faces. This isn't
what Mexican food is supposed to be. It's an abomination. It's sacrilege.
It's like going on a road trip and stopping at a rest stop to eat
filet mignon burgers with truffles and gruyère cheese instead
of that Quarter Pounder that is the staple of rest stop fare. Gourmet
Mexican is one of those things I thought I'd never hear, but my nightmare
has come true. Despite my aversion to paying serious cash for Mexican,
I was excited to try this place. The first thing people talk about
is the guacamole. Maybe I was spoiled as a child by our family
friend's amazing guacamole, but I always seem to find the restaurant
stuff a little bland--including Rosa Mexicano's. Again, I was treated
to the best mole poblano sauce (with just a hint of tamarind) while
we were down in Zihuatanejo
last year, and Rosa's paled in comparison. I must say, I was disappointed.
They also sat us in the bar area, where we were jostled by your typical
UES jackasses, and fought to hear each other over the cell phone toting
yuppies waiting at the bar. Don't get me wrong, the meal was decent,
and the surroundings were cool (if you can get a table somewhere outside
of shithead range), but I just hate when I get all psyched to eat
some place and it doesn't deliver. [MF]
