Our waitress was super inappropriate, which was funny but awkward too. The food was sub-par. Portions were very small, especially for Mexican cuisine. Margaritas were overpriced. Service was fast, but again, very awkward! I thought the food was over-priced. More

I wish I could find some good food, my conclusion, to do so means not eating at chain restaurants. Rojo's crunchy beef tacos were soggy and luke warm when they arrived at out table. My friend had the fish tacos which tasted ok after pulling the Mahi Mahi out of the soft taco shell, but the presentation was so poor... More

My family really likes to go to Rojo for Mexican food. It is a bit more money than typical Mexican places, but they feel the quality of food is better and lihe the more stylish ambience (especially for a Mexican restaurant). Basically, Rojo is doing for this area what PF Changs did for Chinese on a much larger scale --... More

I have eaten at Rojo a few times...the chips and salsa are great to enjoy with the wide variety of Mexican beer. I like how they give you hotter salsas to add into their standard salsa to customize the heat to your taste. I ordered fish tacos and they were good. No complaints. More

Very plain food for Mexican. Chips are thick and some are quite tough. Salsa was better than many chain Mex restaurants. They make a big deal of their margaritas but I tried two and thought they weren't that great. Sour mix is very acidic. If you want a great margarita at a chain place, go to Uncle julio's, theirs are... More

We went to the new location in St. Clair Shores (where we live) because we wanted to try it out and didn't have the gumption that day to drive all the way to Mexicantown (where we usually go). The restaurant was right on the water by the marina, and we sat near the water with huge picture windows, so can't... More

We went to Rojo for dinner because it was the closest Restaurant and we were starving. My wife ordered the tilapia in a butter garlic sauce but she ended up with a burnt piece of fish covered in a tomato sauce. One taste was all we needed to be grossed out. It was definitely covered in this different sauce to... More

Average food. Terrible service. Vastly overpriced. Do not let the location fool you. Worst restaurant I've been to on the Novi area. More
