According to today’s NYT, Morningside Heights’ own La Rosita is having trouble paying its $18,000/month rent and might close.
Time to pitch in, guys. The Bwog for one is switching its La Taqueria loyalty over to La Rosita. It’s about 17% less filthy, anyway.

@i don't think these posts are sillyq it just shows how different people’s tastes are. why would positive commentors comment if they haven’t been there? that is just bad logic. last time i was there, they were super-friendly and the food was super-good. dunno what some of you are griping about, probably because you don’t like that kind of food anyway and prefer other things…urgh.
@um it is possible to like a certain type of food and dislike the execution of said food. as well as the service of said food. this is my problem with la rosita. bad quality- of everything.
@groupin your hispanics.. la rosita doesn’t even serve the same food as la taqueria, in love with plantains is right–la rosita is carribean, not mexican. just take a look at their menus. as much as i love taqueria, it could never satiate my cravings for roasted chicken n plantains…
@in love with fried plantains I thought that La Rosita served cuban food…am I wrong here? The last three times I’ve been there, I’ve had the most delicious chicken, beans, rice, and fried plantains.
@but go to flor de mayo. their plantains are heavenly.
@moph half chicken with rice and beans….. mmmmmmmm
@not in new york There is very little good Mexican food in New York, much less in the Columbia area (I can hardly bring myself to respond to the Taco Bell comment). As for the string of comments, seems a bit silly- if you like it, try to save it; if you don’t, don’t. Not too complex.
@but what if I want to stop people from saving it? is that just sick and wrong?
@screw you all tastiest stuff in the world: taco bell
@well if powdered beef is your thing, then I guess taco bell IS the tastiest stuff in the world.
*gags*
@or dog food
@Noche Mexicana? As far as authentic Mexican food is concerned, Taqueria is numero uno.
@Noche Mexicana Why eat at either place when there is Noche Mexicana, cheaper, better, and Far more authentic on 102nd and Amsterdam. They deliver in like 10 minutes, its ridic fast.
@which reminds me a question to blog? why not do a periodic review of some of the more hidden places to eat around here.
@I'm convinced that the positive commenters have never eaten there. it sucks. i went once, thought it sucked and then decided to give it another chanced. you know what? it sucked worse the second time. good riddence la rosita.
@opinions are subjective..and you’re really just being a jerkhole when you claim positive commentors have never eaten there. If youre portugese like myself and want rice and beans then la rosita is excellent. People who’ve never been their before should try their huevos ranchos for breakfast. You may not like most of teh dishes there, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have a sizeable group of people who enjoy the food there. Not everybody on campus is emamored with tomo, petrutti, le monde and all the other overrated places aroudn here.
@Yeah, the food is not the problem and it is so much less annoying and more low-key than almost any place else around here.
@lost I would love to go to Rosita, but I, well, have no idea where it is…and although I could go and look for a map/website online, but I’m lazy, so I think it would make a lot more sense for Bwog to post a map for how to get there and some suggestions for what I should order.
@It's at around Bway and 109th Here’s the Citysearch link: http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7171367/new_york_ny/la_rosita_restaurant.html
@they make great food they just don’t advertise and the stores on that block are just far enough from columbia to be less visited and less popular than the other blocks
@have you eaten there? they do make good food. this is evil forces at work.
@yeah I have yes, I have eaten there. I was not impressed.
I find that, very often, people are willing to rally to save mom and pop stores no matter what deficiencies they possess. their food can be rotten, their service miserable, the atmosphere uncomfortable- but we have to be upstanding, moral citizens, right? I certainly know I didn’t find La Rosita to my fancy, and I find it hard to believe that many others would be entranced by it.
@well I feel sorry for them, but this is the market at work. they should have made better food.
@John K. Give these guys a free advertisement in the May issue, if you can.
