I always love coming to Dan's Bar. You can tell that the ownership and managers prioritize creating the best experience possible for the customers. A person expects a small town bar dining experience, but this is so much more. Great job!

Our server was fantastic and so was the food but the hostess was rude and honestly made me want to leave from the second we sat down. I have been here many times with my husband and we love it so much but will probably find another Thai place to eat after this experience.

St. Louis Park

About the restaurant

Rojo Mexican Grill serves new culinary creations and many traditional dishes, such as quesadillas, tacos and enchiladas, but with bold new flavors or in unique presentations. Ingredients, such as the tortillas, guacamole, and salsas, are made fresh from scratch each day. And Rojo uses special proprietary blends of Mexican spices to create the unique recipes.
The stylish restaurant seats more than 280 guests and was designed to evoke traditional Mexican décor, but with a modern influence. Warm woods and soft red upholstery are offset by accents of leather, stone and steel. The dining room offers traditional table service and a generous view of the kitchen where diners can watch food prepared throughout the process. Three centrally located tables are dedicated to preparing hand-rolled tortillas, fresh guacamole and salsa in full view each day.
