Run, don’t walk to this awesome place! The upscale taco options are all delicious and unusual…we had 6 different tacos and loved them all, along with fresh guacamole, salsa, and chips. Sounds basic but actually are truly authentic latin flavor like we had in Mexico City. The smoky flavor of one of the beef taco options is still on my mind! The servers are charming. The room has a very hip, very relaxed vibe. I can’t wait to go back!
What a beautiful space! The #ChicagonistaLife girls were invited to check out @rojogusano Ravenswood and enjoyed a variety of delicious Mexican dishes and drinks. … I had so much fun!
Rice bowl with pumpkin (vegan option available) is my favorite dish on the menu. Appetizers are all fun, especially trying different salsas and guacamoles- they are served with crunchy tostadas as chips. The drinks menu is imaginative, heavy on mezcal, great pairing with the menu. Love coming here in the summer when the patio is open.
