I eat at Rojo atleast twice a week. And, I know what you are thinking...but no, it never gets old. I love the relaxed atmosphere and outdoor scenery. The art always entices interesting conversation, and the "regulars" are just as curiously intriguing. But most importantly, Rojo's split-personality menu satisfies my every craving. The two very BEST items are the Black Bean Soup, and the oh-so delicious Blackberry Cobbler. Rojo is by far one of my favorite comfort spots in Birmingham. (May 2007)

Upon arriving at 8:30 on a Sunday evening with my girlfriend for a moderately priced dinner, I expected to see a restaurant that was winding down. Instead, I found relatively loud live music and every outdoor table occupied.

Our service was par for the course, but the food was very good. I had the shrimp paellela which was a heaping portion. The shrimp was delicious and the entire dish had just the right amount of spice. My girlfriend had a chicken burrito which she was unable to finish. It was also very good.

Rojo is a great spot to enjoy an inexpensive Latin-American meal... with a whole bunch of 20- and 30- somethings.

I like Rojo. It's not because the food is so great. The latin American cuisine they serve is good, and portions are adquate, but nothing spectacular. Table service is certainly not great either. Having to order food at one register and then wait at the bar for drink orders is also quite annoying.

To be fair, the food is usually pretty good and fresh. It is certainly NOT everyday mexican at the level of Taco Bell. Just don't expect to have the absolute best fish taco you have ever tasted in your life. My opinion is that prices are reasonable.

The main reason I like Rojo is because of the atmosphere and out-door seating which makes it a great little place to go in the afternoon/evening during spring and fall. Have a Sol, eat some chips and guacomole. You will have a nice time.
