“ I found this little gem on a train ride to the city. Took the train to Ravenswood from the northern suburbs and ubered 7mins to the location. Could be a 15 minute walk in warm weather. The vibe when you walk in is Mexican cantina. When seated, it gives tiki vibes. We started with cocktails, Rojo and Mezcalada- we enjoyed them so much we got seconds. We also started with the guacamole which came plain and we added pico to it (there were about 4 "topping" options) it was delicious and a great portion for 2 people. Then, we tried the tacos. We got about all the tacos on the menu. My favorites were: Korean bbq, pork belly, Baja fish and coliflor con mole (in no particular order). They were just so delicious and unique. They come in blue corn tortilla and are quite filling. Rice and beans are ordered separate. The servers were kind and attentive. There was also a live band, a little jazzy for my liking at a mexican restaurant lol. ”

“ We really enjoyed this place They had a live band and they were so good! Service was excellent, although our waitress seemed new but she did great and found answers when she didn't know. Margarita was fire The tacos were really good with fresh tortillas the salsas were so spicy lol and unique we weren't sure what types they were but it was good. ”

“ Wow me and 2 friends had a great dinner here on a Saturday night- highly recommend going Saturday nights because there is amazing live music!! Not only good food but a fun lively ambiance where they have cute plants all over and great lighting. We got the guac as a starter which was DELICIOUS and you can choose from different toppings. Then I got the mole taco(a little spicy for me) and epazote(mushrooms) taco both great veggie options! I enjoyed the epazote more. My friend got 2 garlic shrimp tacos which she loved. The tortillas are what made it: they definitely taste homemade and authentic! Best Mexican I have had in a while. I will definitely be going back. The server was attentive and friendly as well! ”

“ 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. ”
