So, how is the new LA branch of NYC heavyweight Rosa Mexicano doing in the earlygoing? From the desk of Mr. Jonathan Gold: "Rosa Mexicano is a Mexican restaurant brought into our overwhelmingly Mexican city from New York, a city as famously bereft of Mexican cooking as L.A. is of red-sauce Italian joints ... the NYC Rosa Mexicano was most famous for its guacamole, a dish that most native Angelenos have mastered before their 8th birthday. Its presence in the complex is not just an insult to L.A. but a taxpayer-subsidized insult to L.A." Ouch. [LAW via Eater LA]
