[BREAKING NEWS] Rosa Mexicano Abruptly Says Adios to Atlantic Station

Rosa Mexicano has closed at Atlantic Station.  The New York-based Mexican restaurant reportedly closed for Christmas, only to reopen Tuesday afternoon to tell employees that they were now jobless.  ToNeTo Atlanta was informed in 2015 that Rosa Mexicano's Atlantic Station location was closing "soon" but after additional research and with both Rosa Mexicano and Atlantic Station management denying the rumor, we concluded it to be just that: a rumor.

Rosa Mexicano's 200-seat Atlantic Station location opened in February 2006, around the same time as the project itself debuted.  

As of midnight Wednesday, the Atlantic Station location was still listed on the Rosa Mexicano corporate website.  

Rosa was one of the last few remaining original tenants at Atlantic Station.  

Moe's Southwest Grill and Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro both closed this past January.   Moe's has already been replaced with Salata, a new to market quick serve salad joint.  Copeland's is due to be replaced with Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese barbecue restaurant, which after a number of delays is expected to open this coming March.  Most recently, Lobby Bar & Bistro in the TWELVE hotel & residences at Atlantic Station was rebranded as Allora.  

California Pizza Kitchen (CPK), Boneheads and Kilwin's are the last three remaining eateries from the development's original roster.    

ToNeTo Atlanta has reached out to Atlantic Station's management regarding potential plans for the now vacant 6,800 square foot restaurant space and will update this post when we receive a response.  

If you are in need of FOH or BOH help for your new or existing restaurant, ToNeTo Atlanta encourages you to do what you can to offer jobs to those displaced by this sudden restaurant closure.  Please comment with below with any opportunities or use hashtag #Rosa2Work on Twitter.
