Frommer's Review

A meal starting with tortilla chips and salsa, followed by a plato mixto or fried gallinas (roast hen with fries and red peppers), and accompanied by a Mexican beer should hit the spot. The tables are oak, the service is decent but slow -- the basic rate of continental drift is a good comparison -- and the atmosphere is Latin American and buzzing with cheer. Beware of long waiting times for a table that'll have you at the bar downing one after another of Rose's deadly margaritas. There's a small sidewalk terrace on feverish Reguliersdwarsstraat for summer dining.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
