On Wednesday, May 19th, Rosa Mexicano will kick off its first Healthy and Organic Mexican festival through June 13th. Dispelling the myth that Mexican food is unhealthy, the special menu will highlight the bold, fresh flavors of dishes such as Skillet-Roasted Vegetable Tacos in Flax Seed Tortillas; Seared Tuna with Sprouted Quinoa Salad; Banana Leaf-Steamed Spicy Fish; and Organic Margaritas, Sangria, Wine and Agua Frescas.

On May 22nd, Rosa Mexicano will show guests how to make healthy and organic Mexican dishes at home with a free cooking demonstration beginning at 10 am.
