From the Westside barrio of
to the hip, historical ‘hood known as Southtown, Lisa Wong’s journey as a restaurateur spans more than 40 years. In 1981 at age 18, she invested the $7,000 her parents had saved up for her college and opened the doors to her first establishment – Lisa’s Mexican Restaurant – to instant success!
In 1992, she rescued Rosario’s from bankruptcy court, breathing new life into a neighborhood gem. Outgrowing her cafe y cantina space, she relocated Rosario’s two blocks north to 910 S. Alamo in 1999.
A Bold
Lisa has since launched multiple restaurant concepts that have left an indelible footprint on the local culinary scene. Long lines, a loud and fun atmosphere, and contemporary Mexican influences have become her brand’s signature trademark.
Lisa’s passion for delivering an authentic Mexican dining experience to her loyal followers is what drives this entrepreneur to keep setting her sights higher. Rosario’s ComidaMex & Bar is her latest and grandest culinary dream realized.
Paying homage to our neighborhood’s history, architecture, and artistic vibe, Rosario’s ComidaMex & Bar is designed to enhance your dining experience on multiple levels.
The modern, two-story structure includes 25,000-square feet of indoor and outdoor dining areas, a rooftop terrace & bar with stunning views of downtown, including the HemisFair Tower, Tower Life Building and Frost Tower, beautifully landscaped courtyards and numerous gathering spaces for guests to enjoy – including a private party house!
