Disney4me Posted yesterday at 05:00 PM Report Posted yesterday at 05:00 PM When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. And for Mexican food, you’ve got dozens of options between EPCOT and the resorts. The full spread! We recently stopped by Rosa Mexicano at the Dolphin Resort to see if it’s still worth it since it first opened in 2023, and now we’re bringing you our second FULL review. Is this still a great spot for Mexican cuisine at Disney World? Let’s find out! Atmosphere The decor at Rosa Mexicano is bright and colorful, with aqua and gold colors used throughout. The space feels open and airy, with many large windows and unique artwork. Rosa Mexicano For seating, there are standard tables and chairs, plus booths and bar seating. Rosa Mexicano But enough about the restaurant — what’s on the menu here?! Menu Rosa Mexicano serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner; just be sure to check what’s available at the time of your visit. To drink, the menu includes wine, beer, margaritas, cocktails, and spirit-free options. The drink menu There’s also a much more extensive drink menu available, which details the MANY tequila, beer, and wine varieties you can try here, featuring over 100 varieties of tequila and agave-based spirits! Even more drink options! For food, you can choose from appetizers like chips and guac, soup, salad, nachos, quesadillas, and more. As for your entrees, you can grab a wide variety of Mexican dishes like tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, steaks, and more. The entree menu And now, onto the main event — the food! Drinks To drink, we picked up the Frozen Pomegranate Margarita for $15. This is made with pomegranate, Hornitos Plata Tequila, triple sec, fresh lime, and a half-salt rim. Frozen Pomegranate Margarita The strongest flavor is pomegranate, and it makes the drink sweet and fruity! The Tequila is strong with a clear kick but blends smoothly with the pomegranate. The salt rim adds some tang to the tequila without overpowering the fruitiness, and the lime adds a fresh citrus note. Frozen Pomegranate Margarita Eats First up, we grabbed the Chopped Cheeseburger Tacos for $20. This is ground chuck, bacon, queso, poblano peppers, tomato, onion, shredded lettuce, ketchup, and mayonnaise on flour tortillas. Chopped Cheeseburger Tacos The housemade tortillas are thick and fresh with a soft, slightly chewy texture. The beef filling is juicy with salty bacon bits throughout for a rich meaty flavor. Lettuce and tomatoes add a fresh crunch. The melted cheese is a subtle flavor that makes it feel like a cheeseburger. Ketchup and mayo add sweetness and tanginess that ties everything together. Although the menu says there were poblano peppers and jalapeño mayo, we didn’t taste any heat at all, just general hearty spices. Chopped Cheeseburger Tacos We tried a side of Frijoles Borrachos for $9. This is bacon, tomato, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro, simmered in Mexican beer. Frijoles Borrachos This is a brothy soup-like consistency with beans throughout. The beans are soft and chewy, with an occasional crunch from the vegetables. The most prominent flavors are bacon and vegetables, giving it a hearty and savory taste. The jalapeño gives a pretty strong kick right away, and the tomato and onion add freshness and acidity to the heavier bacon flavor. Frijoles Borrachos We also got a side of Mac n Queso for $11. This is macaroni and cheese with a thick, sharp cheddar cheese sauce and a layer of grated cheese on top. Mac n Queso The cheese sauce is a thick queso-like consistency and absolutely coated the corkscrew pasta. The top layer is baked for a crispy crust, and the sauce underneath was a rich, creamy texture. The cheese is very sharp, so if you’re a sharp cheddar fan, then this is for you! Mac n Queso Nosh or Not This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if… You want a spot with lots of drink options. There are a LOT of drink options here, with frozen margaritas, agave margaritas, wine, beer, crafted cocktails, and more! The frozen pomegranate margarita is one of their signature options. You want Mexican cuisine with a contemporary twist. The food here is meant to be a contemporary interpretation of Mexican cuisine. You may find things like guacamole, tacos, nachos, quesadillas, and more. If you absolutely LOVE Mexican food, this might be a place worth checking out. You want a restaurant with a fun vibe. This spot is beautiful. It has an airy, colorful design and there’s typically upbeat music playing to really give things an “elevated fiesta” vibe (as they say!). You should skip this Disney World spot if… You want a really quiet meal. The music hasn’t been all that loud for us, but we could see it being too loud for some, especially with how some of the sounds bounce off the surfaces here. You have small children or others in the group with really picky palates. The menu can be hard for those who are super picky, so be sure to look over the options and see if there’s something for everyone here, or if another spot might be better suited for your group. You want a really, super fancy vibe. The vibes here fall right into what they call the “elevated fiesta” — more upscale than a character meal, but not quite as fancy as something like California Grill. So if you want a really casual meal, you may want to head elsewhere. Or if you want a super FANCY meal, you may also want to head elsewhere. Overall Overall, we had a great experience at Rosa Mexicano. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The general atmosphere was very chill and not rushed at all. Plus, the food was good, with the Cheeseburger Tacos being a real highlight. It was great to escape from the parks but still be close enough to take an easy boat ride or a bit of a relaxing walk to the hotel. If you’re looking for a special night out without being over the top, this might be worth a visit. Our dinner!
