The Museum of Art and Design (MAD) offered an immersive exhibition of more than 100 works of stained glass, compositions in lead and related drawings showcasing British artist Brian Clarke’s work. There were more than twenty free-standing, glass screens animated by the changing light on display through the end of April 2021.

After the exhibit, we headed a couple of blocks north to Rosa Mexicano for brunch. While deciding on what to order, we shared a pitcher of their white sangria ($45).


We were starving (not literally) so none of us could resist the mild guacamole ($15) and chips served already prepared as during COVID Rosa’s does not do it tableside. Its founder Josefina Howard’s original recipe was served with fresh vegetables (jicama, peppers, celery, carrot) and salsa nortena. We also requested some diced jalapeños for those looking for some heat.

With the service a bit slow, we kept eating chips and salsa as the server delivered more. By the time our meals arrived, we were almost full so none of us finished our entrees!

Two of us had the Huevos Josefina ($14), layers of caramelized onion, chorizo chunks and potato cubes with melted Chihuahua cheese, scrambled eggs and tostadas with mestiza crema and pico de gallo. The others shared shrimp ceviche ($13) and three beef tacos ($24)

Rosa has a reasonable COVID surcharge of 3% listed on the menu.
