Yellow Rose
Where: 102 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10003
Yellow Rose is my most recent discovery for Tex-Mex food, and was introduced to me by one of my Texpat team members, and I was in for a pleasant surprise!
Some far-flung restaurants try to capture the nostalgia with gimmicks such as walls covered in cowboy hats, or parodies of the famously large servings. But one relatively new restaurant in New York City pays updated homage to the culinary diversity of South Texas, offering respite for displaced natives of the state and yet another excursion for New Yorkers curious about exotic cultures.
For Texpats in New York, many of whom proudly identify themselves to the staff, Yellow Rose has managed to capture the Lone Star State culture without becoming a caricature. And for New Yorkers, many of whom are new to Texas cuisine, Yellow Rose provides an authentic entry point.
