Rosa was born from a simple vision: to create a neighborhood gathering place where everyone can enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine without compromise. Opening our doors in March 2025 in the heart of Virginia Highland, we set out to prove that gluten-free doesn't mean flavor-free.

As a 100% gluten-free kitchen, we've removed the barriers that keep so many people from fully experiencing the bold, vibrant flavors of Mexico. Whether you have celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or simply love great food, you can relax and savor every bite with complete confidence.

Our menu reflects a deep respect for tradition, guided by Executive Chef Juan Hormiga. From hand-pressed tortillas to slow-braised meats and house-made salsas, every dish honors the techniques and flavors that make Mexican cuisine so beloved—just without the gluten.

You'll find both beloved classics and distinctive specialties that set Rosa apart. Our menu features traditional favorites done right alongside unique offerings you won't find elsewhere—regional Mexican dishes and lesser-known specialties that showcase the cuisine's true breadth and diversity. Whether it's a time-honored cooking technique or a regional treasure rarely seen in Atlanta, we're bringing you Mexican food beyond the expected.

At our bar, we take the same approach: perfectly executed classics meet creative innovation. Our margaritas are crafted the way they should be—balanced, refreshing, and made with quality tequila. But we also push beyond tradition with specialty cocktails that play with seasonal ingredients, unexpected flavors, and creative twists that keep our regulars coming back to see what's new.

Located at 1190 North Highland Avenue, Rosa is more than a restaurant; it's a place where neighbors become friends, celebrations feel like home, and every meal is an invitation to gather around the table. We're proud to serve our Virginia Highland community with warmth, authenticity, and food that speaks for itself.

Come see us. Your table is waiting.
