| - It's probably not fair to review a restaurant within a few days of an establishment opening their doors for business, but if the food is this good within just a day or two, I look forward to revisiting when Rosa Blanca has worked out a few of the kinks.
While the decor is sparse, the atmosphere is cheery and bright. I was a little disappointed that chips and salsa were not complimentary, however when the large plate of freshly made tortilla chips arrived with a delicious guacamole, a spicy red salsa and a totally addictive tomatillo salsa, it was definitely worth the price.
As much as we love Mexican food, my husband and I rarely eat it because we try to eat a low carb diet and most mexican food hardly falls into that category. That's why I was so excited to see a unique, "virtually no carb" offering on the menu.
The "Chicharron De Quesa" is Rosa Blanca's take on the cheese crisp, only without the tortilla. It's cheesy, crispy and totally delicious. The shredded cheese, which is flown in from Chicago, is crisped on the flat grill and served with a side of fresh guacamole and salsa. It's offered as an appetizer, but it's plenty big enough for a meal. I'm hoping they can add a little chicken breast to the dish and also offer it as an entree.
I also tried the Hibiscus Pomegranate beverage which was equally tasty. They had several flavors from which to choose and other flavors will be available depending on the season. The owners are trying to use locally available ingredients as much as possible.
I'm looking forward to returning soon to try a few other interesting items like the "Tamale Crisps", homemade red pork tamales deep fried and cut into appetizer portions, topped with Mexican crema and salsa.
