Roja Mexican Grill

Another Omaha staple restaurant when I come to visit from California. For a Tuesday, this place was super busy. Shared parking lot with many establishments in the shopping area. It was also happy hour 3-6 Monday through Thursday. Chips and salsa are standard. Beef burrito, taco plate and chicken taquitos were ordered, along with margaritas but no photos of that because we were hangry!! Guacamole and flour tortillas were ordered for the baby. We shall return!!Ok, bye.

We came here on a Saturday night and it was very busy. We were able to quickly get on a waitlist and were seated faster than we expected. After getting seated, our waiter brought over a bowl of chips and salsa - the chips were thinner than we'd like and the salsa could've had more of a kick. I ordered a lime margarita, but it was so sugary, not enough tequila. For food, we ordered a smothered burrito. Flavor was good and was very filling. We also ordered a tex-mex taco plate - it was pretty basic, nothing to rave about. The ambience of the restaurant was a highlight, they had decorations that made you feel like you were sitting in a desert outside.

Rojas serves up great Mexican food and drink with great service as well. I've experienced the Quesadillas, Enchildas, Carne Asada Tacos, and more than a few Margaritas. They are consistent, efficient, and fun. It was a pleasure to go back there on a recent visit and see they have not missed a beat. Great value also!

Roja thank you for the vegan and vegetarian options on your menu. You can make almost any dish vegetarian by using their vegetarian beef or chicken option. I really appreciate that! Just don't fill up on the very delicious chips and salsa which are complementary to every table. Finally, I always have great service at Roja. Clearly management is doing a great job with their staff.

- Chicken Taquitos -Tex-Mex happy hour beef tacos -Chile con queso - salsa is served with your meal as well I have been to Roja many times, but the Chicken taquitos are one of my new favorites! I have not eaten taquitos much, and these were so good. Usually, store taquitos are super thin, but these had a lot of chicken inside! I also recommend fish tacos from here, and this queso is so rich and yummy! I would go back!8.5/10

Stopped in for an early dinner on a Friday afternoon. Sat at the bar as we usually do. We were greeted promptly and the bartender gave us menus and took our drink order. Shortly afterwards some chips and salsa was delivered. Good fresh chips, and the salsa was very tasty. Assuming it was made in house. We ordered the queso with beef as an appetizer and it was very good. The bottle beer was very cold and my wife's cocktail was nicely made. For dinner I had the Chipotle Pork and my wife had a combination beef platter. In my opinion the food was very well prepared and tasty. My wife thought her beef items were a bit salty, but still good. The restaurant is huge and decorated as expected with a good selection of proper music for a Mexican restaurant. Everything seemed to be well cleaned including the restrooms. All in all, no complaints and we will return. Nice job.

We visit Roja once a year maybe, and it's hit or miss each time. Dont even think about coming without a reservation, but if you have one, things flow smoothly.Margaritas are not too sweet, and not very strong, but a good buy during happy hour. Chips are light, warm and nicely salted and the accompanying salsa is tomatoey fresh.Our dinner order got messed up, but my partner is flexible, so he took what he was given. The onion and cheese enchilada will wait for another day. What he received was two ground beef tacos. Presentation was meh, but he said the meat had a nice flavor different from some standard "old el paso."Fish tacos were great and the smothered pork burrito was good, but waaay too much food. I was trying to recreate an awesome experience I'd had previously with a pork dish when I ordered the burrito, but, alas, this wasnt it. As mentioned, it was good, but not great.The restaurant is open and very loud. It was difficult to have a conversation involving the whole table, so we had one to ones instead.Prices are good -- especially if you order drinks during happy hour.

Food and service always amazing, I can't wait to go back for the happy hour specials. Beautiful aesthetics too!

Start by sucking down a delicious strawberry Margherita and move on to fresh fajitas and quesadillas. Seasoned beautifully and easy on the palate! Traditional mexican music plays as you relax in the modern industrial vibe decor. Seating options, Bar stools, high top tables or booths, and in the cooler weather sit by the fire pit in the closed in patio area. Just a great place to return again and again.

If you're wondering if you should go to this place, you shouldn't. I went tonight and this is the second time I've been here. Both times I was asked to go by friends. The service was horrible. I asked for a glass of tea. I got one glass. I asked for some more and about 30 minutes or so later we asked again and they told us they ran out of tea. They had never bothered to tell us while we were waiting for 30 minutes. It took them forever to serve us and you couldn't get any waiters to come help you out. How can you mess up salsa?The only redeeming thing that I can say is, the chips were decent
