Inside Look: Rosa Mexicano opens first Orlando location at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort

Did you know the iconic Rosa Mexicano officially opened its newest and first Orlando location last week at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in the Dolphin side?

Rosa Mexicano offers authentic Mexican classic dishes in a stylish and festive atmosphere. The restaurant honors Mexican heritage as well as the culinary techniques, global explorations and inspirations of its acclaimed founding chef, Josefina Howard who opened the flagship Rosa Mexicano on New York’s Upper East Side in 1984 and popularized Mexican regional cuisine in NYC.

With current locations in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, Virginia and Maryland, as well as upcoming openings in Las Vegas and Fort Lauderdale, the dynamic brand offers an elevated fiesta dining experience, including signature menu items and award-winning margaritas.

The restaurant also features Rosa Mexicano’s renowned beverage portfolio, which boasts over 100 varieties of tequila and agave-based spirits – and of course, the restaurant’s signature frozen pomegranate margarita, named the best in New York City.
