Dining room at Rosario's, San Antonio, TXWe have to hand it to Rosario’s: the joint's vibrantly colorful interior is in perfect synch with its sonic surroundings. Some people can tolerate the quasi-punishing noise level, most obvious at peak times, while others seek off-hour lulls to sample rajas de chile poblano con crema or Angelica’s ceviche fino from the antojitos list. A few usual suspects, such as beef or chicken fajitas, appear on the dinner menu, but this is one of the few places in town to sample sweetbreads, battered, pan-grilled and served with salsa ranchera. The parilla de tripas (intestine) can be had on its own or as part of a platter that also includes the sweetbreads and stewed pork skins. But not to worry: Enchiladas mexicanas and chicken chipotle are benign fall-backs, and sopa de pozole, populated with diced pork, hominy and shredded cabbage, is appreciated by all. Desserts tend toward the traditional, with coconut flan getting our recommendation.
