Yellow Rose

I came here on a dry and cool Sunday night in late November for dinner at 730pm. I made the reservation a few days before based on the next available prime dinner time. Res era actions during peak dinner are not to easy to get given that it has a Michelin Bibb recommendation. I wouldn’t plan to come here without a reservation as walk-ins might give you a long wait for the bar at best. I am from Texas originally so I was really excited to sit down for dinner here. Good Tex Mex cuisine is hard to come by in Manhattan. I’ve had the breakfast tacos before which were fine. The restaurant has a cool texas dive restaurant. The menu is broad and features a lot of TexMex favorites. I enjoyed my cheese enchiladas but other items like the Arancini were not cooked well. The frozen margarita was good

Had the queso, bean, potato, and tofu tacos and while all the food came out looking great, I think I just wasn’t a fan of the seasonings that they use here as I’m usually a big fan of Tex-Mex. Everything ended up leaving me with the same aftertaste. I think some more veg in the soft tacos probably would’ve helped with that, and helped highlight how tasty their homemade tortillas are.

Came here with friends who are locals because this is one of their favorite spots. The restaurant itself is small and very well decorated to fit the tex-mex theme. We thought service was okay - we ordered chips and queso, 2-3 tacos per person, and later some corn bread. It felt like we watched tables who ordered after us all get their chips first while ours came out slow with no spacing between the appetizer and tacos. For the food, the flavor of the beer queso was very good. I tried the bean and cheese taco and chicken verde taco which were equally 4/5. The star of the show was the tortillas which were excellent. We also had the cornbread which was a very good balance of sweet and salty between the caramelized walnuts and salty butter. My wife had the barbacoa taco and papas tacos whic

It was a little toasty but we got two seats at the bar no problem (530 pm). Bartender was super nice and it was the tacos were even better than I remembered. I got the special carnitas which were a little oily but delicious.

Great taco selection for brunch with the tortillas being the start of the show. I thought the cocktails were even better and made fresh with a bunch of variety. Recommend making a reservation just to keep things easy but was pretty casual during a Saturday afternoon. One regret was not trying the doughnuts 🍩
