The iconic Mexican fine dining restaurant will be serving up signature
menu items at its first Orlando location
LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLA – Today, Rosa Mexicano Restaurants [3] announced
plans to open its first Orlando-area location in the Walt Disney World
Swan and Dolphin [4] in early 2023. With current locations in New York,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Maryland, as well as
upcoming openings in Connecticut, Virginia, North Carolina, and Las
Vegas, the dynamic brand will offer an elevated fiesta dining
experience, including signature menu items and award-winning margaritas.
“Rosa Mexicano’s arrival to Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is a
truly exciting moment of our expansion. The opening reflects our
founding chef Josefina Howard’s vision of introducing Mexican culinary
traditions and authentic Mexican heritage to the world,” said Jim
Dunn, CEO of Rosa Mexicano. “Once the restaurant opens, we will offer
the Orlando market a fresh take on Mexican food, authentic Mexican
heritage, culinary techniques, and lively dining.”
The restaurant, helmed by Manuel Trevino, Vice President of Culinary,
will feature dramatic design elements familiar to fans of the brand, to
transport guests on a unique culinary journey. The 5,500-square-foot
restaurant will offer various seating areas with a capacity of about 300
guests, including a 30-person bar and a beautiful private dining room
for 50.
The menu will showcase a contemporary interpretation of authentic
Mexican cuisine, including beloved classics and innovative,
sophisticated dishes that pay tribute to Mexico’s richly varied culinary
regions. Rosa Mexicano’s renowned beverage program, which boasts over
100 varieties of tequila and agave-based spirits – and of course, the
restaurant’s signature frozen pomegranate margarita named the best in
New York City – will also make its debut.
“Rosa Mexicano is the perfect partner to enhance our current dining
options,” said Sean Verney, Area General Manager of the Walt Disney
World Swan and Dolphin. “We pride ourselves on offering the best
quality restaurant experiences for our hotel guests as well as local
Orlando residents and Rosa Mexicano delivers on that promise. We’re
excited to be home to their first Florida location starting in early
2023.”
Guests can receive a first taste of Rosa Mexicano this fall during the
Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic Nov. 11 & 12 where the restaurant
will feature a tasting station during the popular annual festival. For

Rosa Mexicano will be located in the Dolphin, replacing the current
