“ Amazing place. My friend and I chose Ojo Rojo because she needs a decent gluten free me u with plenty of options. We had not visited here before but will definitely be back again. We loved the ambience, look of the place, lovely warm welcome. Great menu choices for food and drinks. We had mulled wine on the advice of the server. Every dish was gorgeous and as he predicted we didn't eat it all and took a doggie bag home. The guys that served us were welcoming, friendly and fun. ”
“ I loved it here! We ate so many different things and everything tasted amazing! My highlights were the pork tacos and the trio of dips with tortilla chips (one of the dips is hot cheese!) The cocktails are really interesting and delicious. Staff were very friendly and informative, even warned us before the kitchen was closing so we could order any more food we wanted. The decor is very fun with pretty twinkling lights. My only tiny gripe was that I did get a little bit chilly towards the end of the meal but otherwise a perfect dinner out. ”
“ Really tasty and reasonable prices too! Loved the chorizo tacos definitely want to come back and try all the different tacos and more food! The nacho portion was insane for the price. The staff were absolutely lovely/ friendly the whole time! They were a real credit to the whole dinner and made the experience so wholesome! Will be back, and will be recommending to everyone! Thank you ”
