While some places strive to replicate the kind of authentic culinary experience you’d find on the streets in Oaxaca, Rosa Mexicano is inspired by the vibrancy and celebratory aspect of Mexican culture and cuisine rather than remaining steadfast to tradition. The light and bright new taco slinger has sprung to life in the Chevron Renaissance precinct, wedged in between Little Bali Street Food and Betty’s Burgers & Concrete Co, and is the sixth in the Rosa Mexicano family, joining sibling spots peppered around Victoria alongside a soon-to-open Adelaide venue. Rosa Mexicano is an all-out explosion of colour and fun – think cascading greenery, striking black and white checkerboard tiles framed by a bold yellow bar, pops of neon and plenty of homages to the legendary Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. The vast menu – like most things in life – is best tackled with a margarita in hand. Rosa Mexicano caters to every taste and whim with a focus on value and freshness. Start with a couple of selections from the Antojitos section, which includes moreish morsels of stuffed jalapenos, street-style corn, loaded nachos and creamy Mexican croquettes loaded with chorizo and smoked chicken, before wrapping your mitts around a fish taco or a California burrito. If you’re really committing to the food coma, opt for the chimichanga, which is basically the burrito, but fried. If you still have room after all of that, a serve of the steamy sugar-rolled churros is sure to send you to a happy place. Rosa Mexicano is a fuss-free, fun Mexican feast.
