We had a fantastic evening at Ojo Rojo. The cocktails, while a little pricy are a must have! The tacos are decent, but the nachos are fabulous. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and Antonio was superb.
My brother and I turned up without a booking on Saturday evening, and the staff put effort into accommodating us. The staff were friendly and welcoming and showed us the happy hour cocktails, which were so good.
The food comes out in a sort of meze style (no starters or mains) just ad hoc.
The only 2 gripes were; the prawn tacos were pretty cold, and I thought they might be a little more substantial. The other gripe was something ordered, was not bought to the table. The bill was quickly rectified when we told the staff.
As with every restaurant, cocktails bump up the cost, but the food was a reasonable price and quality. Plus, we all deserve a cocktail every now and then!

Thank you Trevor for your speedy response on this issue and processing a refund which has been successfully received. We are glad this issue was solved in such a timely manner. Thank you!
13th September around 19:30 me and my bf went here for dinner. The food was great and the atmosphere was nice. It was supposed to be a lovely dinning experience however we were over charged by 6.20 for something we never ordered. (We ordered half pint of draught beer but were charged for additional 1 full pint) Unfortunately when we realized it, it was too late and we had gotten back home which is too far to travel back. We tried to contact the restaurant by phone, by email and even by Facebook but they never answer which is really frustrating. I would recommend their food but it is better to double check your receipt.
Tacos seemed authentic, nachos were pretty good too, but the drinks were the stars of the show. Can see why they make it to the top cocktail bars of the UK list - would definitely love to revisit for the fantastic collection of cocktails!
Tasty food, we had some meat tacos, also had the corn ribs and nachos(on the picture).
Food is tasty but portions are quite small so that's why the 4 stars.
Wow! Me and my friend are now obsessed! They weren’t kidding with the award winning cocktails.. they were divine even though tequila and mezcal aren’t my kind of drink, they tasted amazing! They catered superbly for me whose gluten and dairy free, my nachos were massive :) I highly recommend their corn ribs and Patatas bravas as sides! Gorgeous setting and lovely staff. Overall, we left as very happy customers and we will be returning
Food was amazing, especially the pulled pork tacos and corn ribs. Cocktails/ mocktails were delicious and the service we got from our server, Antonio was beyond incredible. Can't say a single bad thing about Ojo Rojo A+
So glad the wife and I stumbled across this establishment. We were met with a very warm welcome yesterday lunchtime by both staff, inside and out. Awesome food, best tasting cocktail ever. Love the vibe of this place, would highly recommend. Please please pass on our thanks to the young lady with the long braided hair for doing such a great job of looking after us in the outside seating area yesterday lunchtime.
Food- yum, yum , yum. Still thinking about it. The tapas portions are amazing/big - not complaining as took multiple 'later containers' home. The cocktails- they get u going !! Don't skim on the spirits ! Relax and friendly atmosphere
We had the best time at Ojo Rojo. Food, cocktails, surrounding and atmosphere were so incredible, my partner and I were in heaven. Service was fast, attentive and super friendly. Big Thank you to Josh (bartender) for the amazing cocktails and the rest of the staff on that day. And to top it off they are dog friendly so we could celebrate with our favourite companions. I definitely recommend and will be back in a heartbeat. Excited for your take over in London.
Came here two days in a row! The Thursday night offer was brilliant, and we returned with friends on Friday.
Staff were all friendly - they managed to squeeze us in without a booking the Thursday evening, we just had to wait at the bar for a short while, and we booked for Friday - accommodating our request for an accessible table.
The food is excellent - one of the best Mexicans I have had!
Only downside is it’s so far from home! We will be back when we visit again.
A great selection of cocktails, delicious tacos and very friendly and helpful service! Always love coming here 😄
we went there on Saturday and Sunday , loved food , service and cocktails .
on Sunday felt like Joshua was doing all work by him self ( well done , 1 person and he smashed it ) would be nice if he hey help sometimes . he didn't complain , it's just me watching service. Still fav spot in Bournemouth
Staff made this an amazing experience for our family, and I would happily recommend it.
Doggos allowed throughout the day, but we were quite late, and they made an exception for us, which was greatly appreciated.
Been meaning to go here a while and glad we did.
Staff were very attentive and the food was fantastic. While it is ‘Tapas’ , the portion sizes are very good.
Decent drinks selection as well.
Will be going back.
Ojo rojo has some of the best food and cocktails that I have had in the Bournemouth area. I'd recommend the **** that's a solero cocktail and for food the achiote pulled pork, either in tacos or on top of the nachos. The poke bowl that I had was good and filling but you don't get much meat in it. The chuffle dessert was very nice, and they gave us both sauces.
Great cozy atmosphere, super friendly staff and incredible Mexican food! This was one of the most welcoming and delicious meals I have had in a long time!
There is such a great choice of options on the menu and with it all being tapas you simply order lots of small dishes and then share between your party! I highly recommend the chicken wings and Sriracha Shrimp tacos!
Staff were very friendly and very welcoming and explained everything; being my first time at Ojo Rojo, really made me feel very much at home! Would definitely visit again and was honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Superb.
