Ojo Rojo is not just another Mexican restaurant. Utilising both bar and café features, the concept culminates into an all hours venue, spread over two floors, that will act as both a hangout-bar as well as a modern eatery. Our menu aspires to change the perception of Mexican dishes and their presentation by developing food that incorporates fresh, locally sourced produce with an underlying health

y- eating ethos. Our inspiration is drawn from popular Central American and world cuisine, and delivered in the classic Mexican street-food style of antojitos (meaning simply, little cravings). It’s this style that encourages the sharing aspect of interactive dining. The unique partnership of wholesome antojitos and Mexican influenced libations will create an immersive, social experience that will invite a sense of ownership over the venue, and a lifestyle affiliation that people will feel a part of. Ojo Rojo (pronounced ‘Ock-o Rock-o’) simply means: Red Eye. This alludes to great spicy food, mornings after a good night out and is subtly suggestive towards the traditional Day Of The Dead Skulls; synonymous with the creative Mexican culture.

We have something important to tell you.

After nearly a decade, Ojo Rojo will be closing its doors for good on June 6th. The building is under new ownership and they have plans that don't include us.

We are gutted. But we are not going quietly.
Five weeks. Every table. Every night matters. If Ojo Rojo has ever meant something to you, come back one more time. Let's fill this place until the lights go out.

We've moved. We're proud of where we are. And we need your help spreading the word.

Since relocating to our new home inside the 1812 building on Bournemouth's seafront, there are still people who don't know we're here. So we're asking our community to help us change that.

Here's how it works:

Want to win? Create your own Instagram post or Reel that shows where we are, tells people we've moved, or captures what Ojo Rojo is all about in our new home. It can be as simple or as creative as you like. Post it with the hashtag , tag us in the post and you're in the running.

First prize: a £250 Ojo Rojo voucher.
Runner up: a £100 Ojo Rojo voucher.

We'll pick our favourites on 1st May. The most creative entry wins.

Just want to help? Tag three friends in the comments who need to know we're here and repost. Next time you come in, show us and we'll give you a free tequila or dessert on the house. Any day Sunday to Friday.

That's it. No catch. Just a small ask from a small independent that's proud of what it's built and wants more people to find it.

Thank you. Now let's see what you've got.
