Tex-Mex in Williamsburg — flour tortillas made by hand, queso, and a Texan's idea of a proper plate
Yellow Rose is run by Texans and makes its flour tortillas by hand, which is the single detail that separates real Tex-Mex from the version New York had been settling for. The queso is properly made, the puffy tacos are correct, and the enchiladas come under chili gravy rather than something lighter and more fashionable. It started as a tiny counter and expanded into a larger café and bar on Lorimer Street. It is unapologetically regional food, cooked by people who are homesick, which is usually the best reason for a restaurant to exist.
