Rojo Puts a Spin on Mexican Favorites
The St. Louis Park restaurant serves up fresh flavors in the kitchen and behind the bar.
Enchiladas. Tacos. Margaritas.
offers the Mexican flavors most would expect to find, but also showcases a few tweaks on popular favorites. This is perhaps most evident with the restaurant's strawberry jalapeno margarita, which combines jalapeno slices, tequila, Brazilian orange liqueur, strawberry puree and margarita mix to create a sweet and spicy drink.
The experimentation is a hit with customers, as assistant general manager Weston Winkler said the strawberry jalapeno margarita is the second most popular drink at Rojo.
Rojo's kitchen boasts a massive wood-fire grill, where the chicken, carne asada steak and other meats are cooked for fajitas, enchiladas and tacos.
Sous chef Mario Rojas said utilizing the special grill really helps "announce our flavors."
