Whether you take your sweetheart to the original Newport Beach location, or the Irvine Taco Rosa, you can both enjoy a dinner for two for $29.

The menu starts with guacamole, chips and salsa, and then you can choose an entrée from four choices including pollo Maya, a seared chicken breast filled with Oaxaca cheese, epazote, poblano pepper wrapped in bacon, served with Mexican rice and Mayan escabeche; or a carnitas pibil with tender pork shoulder with pibil sauce, pinto beans, guacamole escabeche, Mexican rice and sweet corn tamalito. Other entrée choices include Mexico City enchiladas, hand pulled chicken enchiladas topped with tomatillo sauce, melted cheese, cream, queso fresco and marinated onions, served with Mexican rice and pinto beans. Or try the wild salmon pan roasted and glazed with homemade chutney, served on a trio of handmade corn masa boats layered with black beans, queso fresco, Napa cabbage, jicama and carrots, served with caldillo and black bean sauce. Lastly, save room for churros y fresas con chocolate served with warm chocolate and fresh chocolate covered strawberries.
