Rojo Gusano

Delicious food which started with two different types of salsa, one was fairly spicy and one was mild. Great options for vegetarians and a mezcal cocktail that was the perfect blend of smoky and sweet. Staff was extremely friendly, would most definitely eat here again.

I visited Rojo Gusano for the first time when I met a group of friends there for lunch. We arrived around 1:30pm and found the place completely empty. We were subsequently greeted warmly and seated promptly. The atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable. The decor is aesthetically pleasing and unpretentious. We were able to sit for a while before ordering. We all had tacos and drinks. We ordered the chips & salsa and nachos as appetizers. They both were good. I had the carne asada, chicken tinga, and al pastor tacos. The tacos were okay, but nothing to rave over. I like the steak tacos the best. I've had better chicken and steak tacos elsewhere. Everyone thought their food was decent enough and enjoyed the overall experience. I also ordered a side of the black beans, which weren't very flavorful. The portion size was enough to share, though.I ordered Mexican Coke, but all my friends had cocktails. They said the drinks were pretty good. Our waiter was friendly and attentive as well. I'd probably visit again if i happened to be in the area, but I wouldn't go out. of my way to eat there or anything. It's more of a happen-to-be-there spot rather than a destination, in my opinion.

The restaurant itself as far as decor is really impressive. I loved the theme and felt like they really pulled it off with the murals. Very pretty.As for the food, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. I felt that it lacked a bit of flavor and it also felt over priced. I had the taco kit with the al pastor meat and to me it felt like it needed a bit more seasoning.The drinks weren't bad either but all and all I think this place is a bit overpriced.Service was good.

Stopped by here for an improptu lunch and had a great time! I loved all the mezcal cocktail options, the mezcal mule was great. We got the enfrijoladas and chilaquiles. They tasted great and great portions for the price. Definitely looking forward to returning.

First time at Rojo Gusano restaurant and there was plenty of seating. The list of tacos is expansive and the chef uses an array of ingredients throughout the menu. I personally did not like the al pastor tacos as it was too fatty. The service is great. One drink would love to see on the menu is horchata.

This was a pretty mid experience. It's super pretty inside and the staff was super friendly. There was live music and there was a full house. We ordered margaritas which tasted like straight up margaritas mix. I couldn't finish mine. The guac was okay. I went with the tortilla soup which was pretty good. But my friend had 3 tacos and thought they were okay

Came in after touring whiskey distillery they are right next door. Was pleasantly surprised to be handed a brunch menu. Guess it was Saturday! Went with pork belly tacos. They came with sunny side up eggs on them which I was little surprised by.The tacos came with potato wedges. Ordered a michaladea with dos Equis beer.

I very much enjoyed my first dining experience here. My husband and I had reservations for Saturday night. The place was hopping when we arrived, and everyone we encountered who worked there was super nice. Turns out they lost our reservation, but we were still seated right away. There's a nice outdoor patio area, but we chose to sit inside because it was super hot. There was live music playing outside which was nice, but it was a shame you couldn't hear it indoors. The interior space is very pretty with a lot of cool artwork. We placed an order for drinks and appetizers quickly. The nachos arrived before our drinks did, and they were amazing. Our server apologized for the drink delay, and I was glad we at least had water. When the drinks arrived, they were very good. I had a margarita which was delicious and was served with a lovely flower garnish: very pretty. For our main meal, we shared the Hawaiian empanada, which honestly was just okay. My husband got four different tacos. He liked them all, but enjoyed some more than others. I ordered what I thought were steak enchiladas, but the menu was a little confusing and what I actually got were three cheese enchiladas next to a giant slab of carne asana. It was all very good. I wasn't asked how I'd like my steak cooked, and it was prepared pretty well done. I liked it but thought it was odd not to be asked my preference. We skipped dessert because we were super full, but had after-dinner drinks. My husband had mezcal, which he loved. I had a glass of mediocre and overpriced pinot noir: oh well. Overall, it's a nice place and I will definitely go back at some point.

My husband and his friends came in this past Saturday night. Brought in friends from out of town and friends who recently moved into the neighborhood, very excited to show off the secret gem that is Rojo Gusano. While the live music was entertaining the service was absolute garbage. Without exaggeration the server did not come back to the table for over 30 minutes after initially serving the food. Our table wanted to order additional drinks and the server frequented all the tables around but did not come back to ours. This left a sour taste in our book and has tainted our experience at Rojo Gusano. Incredibly disappointment with the service.

I love it when I can give a positive upgrade! I came here with my sister-in-law and had a really pleasant experience. We dined at Rojo Gusano for dinner on mother's day and was thrilled to see there was live music! The musician was so talented, rocking out on guitar and singing songs from Amy Winehouse to Lizzo. She really made the vibes fun, I hope she's a regular performer throughout the summer! I was so happy when our server told me they have NA margaritas. With the salt rim and everything! It tasted delicious. Our server was very kind and checked on us frequently throughout the evening. I also enjoyed the food much more this time around! We shared nachos, chips & guac, and the street corn. Everything tasted fresh and was enjoyable.Really happy to have come back here! The churros and ice cream was the perfect way to end the evening.
