Short version: Delicious food served promptly. The "dirty potatoes" were the highlight for us.Longer review: The warm decor was the first noticeable thing. A wood effect that reminded me of a cozy cabin for the seating area, In front of an impressively stocked bar. We were greeted and seated straight away, no waiting around at all by a waiter who served us with a smile (not the kind of American-customer-service fake smile, but the kind of smile of a man who knows he's great at his job). He explained to us that the menu was tapas style, and best for sharing. We knew this going in, but I appreciated it nonetheless. We had pork tacos with crispy shell, dirty potatoes, and loaded nachos. The nachos arrived first, and oh boy, "loaded" was right. They were piled high with a few different (each delectable) dips, you could choose one by itself from the outside, but the best bit was the middle where they all mixed and the cheese was plentiful and they all melded beautifully on top of satisfyingly crispy nachos. Before we finished, the tacos arrived. The pork was pulled, and fell apart so tenderly, a delight to the senses. A slight flaw was the taco bread. In all fairness, we had ordered it crispy, anticipating something tex-mex style. However, the pulled pork instead sat atop a rock hard and extremely brittle flat disc, more like a large cracker than the taco shape we had expected. The meat and filling of the taco more than made up for it, and the rest of the meal was so good that I see no reason to dock a star for this. It's probably just my partner and I misunderstanding the menu. Finally, the dirty potatoes arrived. Diced into sugar cube sized chunks, these potatoes were delectably fluffy, and awesomely flavourful. The spicy kick was bravely extinguished in my mouth by the gooey cheese drizzled over the top. It specifically will be this dish that bring my partner and I back for more. A triumph of hyperpalatable cuisine. We paid 96 pounds for our three course meal for two, including the two cocktails we each had, and the 12% service charge for the diligent but warm waiters who served us wonderfully. 96, for all this, is well worth it in my opinion. Thank you, Ojo Rojo. See you again soon.I posted this review on the 26th of march but I visited on Saturday the 23rd.

Food was very nice, service was good, and quick, we ate mid afternoon, so not too busy, nice cosy place that looks like it would be fun at night, food was not expensive, but portions were a bit on the small side, cannot fault the food, just size wise more a large starter than a main meal, we had basically chilli con carne, and the pulled beef crispy taco (which only had 1 - 2 fork full of beef on each taco). Would eat here again, but order more next time

From the start to finish everything was great. Booked on a busy Sat night, without even asking the girl found us a better table upstairs. The table service from the guy with the curly hair was top, explaining the food and mezcal in detail. The shortribs were to die for, and even though I don't drink much mezcal, the cocktails using them were amazing.
