Cinco de Mayo Celebrations – ¡que Viva la Fiesta!

At Rosamexicano – The Dubai Mall, Mirdif City Center from the 4th to the 10th of May

Dubai, 1 May 2014 - Cinco de Mayo is an important milestone in Mexican history as it celebrates the Battle of Puebla, when a small contingent of Mexican soldiers led by General Ignacio Zaragoza defeated Napoleon's formidable army in a bloody battle. But it's also a great excuse to enjoy delicious Mexican food. 

Located at the Dubai Mall and Mirdif City Centre, where it opened its doors in 2013, chefs at Rosa Mexicano are ready to take revelers from May 4th to 10th on a cultural and culinary adventure for the senses and celebrate the many distinct and layered cuisines of Mexico with the Cinco de Mayo special menu. 

'Cinco de Mayo at Rosa Mexicano is always a grand fiesta', explains Brand Manager Garo Chavoushian 'This year, the special menu includes the Crispy Jalapenos, Chicken Salad, and Chile Rellenos en Nogada appetizers, the Pollo Chilaquiles, Lamb Shank, and Pescado Veracruzana main dishes, and Elotes and Papas Fritas sides, all served in stylish spaces and a lively atmosphere filled with the wonderful sound of Mexico's great mariachi music”.

¡Viva Cinco de Mayo! ¡Viva Mexico!

Open from 12 Noon to 11:30 PM.
