Really great food and drinks menu. Food isn't expensive but some of the drink are. We had Enchiladas, burrito bowl, tequila flight, perfect margarita and frozen margarita. Everything was to the mark.
I had a small fly in my margarita, so I brought it to their attention and they replaced it. People usually try to create scene but stuff happens, we should not hold staff to knife. Ambiance is really nice and so is the service. I would definitely recommend to try this place.
Update: Fajitas are a hit and miss. It feels they sometimes forget to add spices to it.

We had a great time. About 20 of us ruled the restaurant and Mike was our extremely helpful server. Recently, I discovered Gluten and I don’t do each other any favors... to say it subtly... the menu wasn’t marked with dishes of the sort and at first I was worried. I asked Mike and he informed the cooks were able to prepare anything without it, subbing corn is the easiest part, this makes Mexican one of the easiest fares to switch to gluten-free. Rice and fresh beans also. When I added avocado and sour, he even verified if it was ok? It was appreciated as this is week 1 of a couple thousand, hopefully. Thanks Rojo for a great meal and great service!

We love Rojo and miss the Clinton and Rochester locations. We love their taco Tuesdays. Their dollar chicken tacos are unbelievable, coupled with their tableside guacamole makes an amazing date night or Work night out. We were impressed by this location and will continue to come back!

This the worst Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. I only wish I would've read the reviews first. The food was HORRIBLE nothing Mexican about the food at all. Please don't waste your time Taco bell food was better than this. When we complained about the food the staff agreed really no joke. The only thing good about this place was the staff very friendly, the margarita and the Arnold Palmer. The restaurant decor was very impressive. BUT we should have known when no one was there but us and they were playing Jamaican music at a Mexican restaurant😐🤔😯 this place deserve 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎💩

Very cool decor. Almost like you stepped into a Mexican restaurant in Vegas, which is a positive. Great food, and l enjoyed the 2 spicy sauces served with the complimentary chips & salsa. Our server was excellent but what keeps it from a 5 star is the friendliness from other staff wasn't so great.

If you love extremely salty, over-seasoned to the point of being inedible food, go here. The service is pretty good and the people who work there are friendly. Pricing was reasonable. Not sure if this was an off day or what, but my tacos tasted like someone poured the entire container of whatever seasoning they use directly into them. The beans and rice were the same way. I tasted my wife's enchiladas, same thing.

Had a small issue with my Amigos reward card, which is the best loyalty program around, Josh at this location went above and beyond to help me. The food is consistently good. The margaritas with all natural ingredients are superior to most any other chains sour mix based ones. Highly recommend

Horrrrrrrrible. The stuff coming out of me will probably taste better than it did on my plate.
As soon as we were lead to our booth, the seats were wet, covered in fries and food crumbs.
Onto the food...I am not sure how soft tortillas can cut the insides of one's mouth, but this place managed to do just that. Bravo! They were extremely dry and so over heated to the point that they're crispy. To make matters worse, the rice that came with the meal were also overcooked. I had a difficult time chewing as the stone-hard overcooked rice grains were continuously getting crammed between my teeth, preventing my jaw to shut completely to break down the rubber-like flavorless meat. My order was steak fajita, but somehow came out as steak & chicken fajita. Furthermore, the tacos plate my partner had ordered was heavily salted.
Coming from California, one could get an authentic Mexican meal for less than half the price while this place charges $20 for a regular plate, when they can't even nail down something as simple as rice and tortilla.
Unbelievable.
Update: After scrolling through many bad reviews, somehow this place continuously makes the same mistakes. I understand that the good reviews outnumber the bad, but this place is seriously the worst. Restaurants with real management would put the efforts into responding to bad reviews trying to make them right, but not here. Because the management here is clearly a joke and the place is making money purely for the location and being the only place serving Mexican food.
