Last Sunday evening, recurring Propeller Skies character The Professor and I went to Atlantic Station for dinner. After wandering around looking for a chain without ten other Atlanta locations, we settled on Rosa Mexicano.

Unfortunately, Rosa Mexicano serves an oxymoron: gourmet Mexican. Because the cuisine of Mexico is inherently basic and bold, attempts to take it upscale and introduce subtlety always result in an overpriced culinary disaster. I ordered the Pablono Enchilada Mole Pollo*, which was acceptable. Unfortunately, it was also sixteen dollars. Additionally, the mole was too sweet and completely overwhelmed the fancy cheese and the chicken.

I do not recommend Rosa Mexicano. Atlanta has several other more authentic and better priced Mexican restaurants.

notes:

* Or something like that. I do not speak Spanish and I do not intend to.
