Family owned since 1975, Rojo's Tavern has a rustic, old Lake-Tahoe feel. The inside is dimly lit, with an orange tinge coming from the lights. It's the perfect place for a classic barbecue experience, with a steakhouse ambiance sprinkled in. The music plays loud, mostly pop songs and the basement features a dancehall with live bands on certain nights. The menu is largely inexpensive on the sandwich side, but dinner entrees and barbecues can run into the $20 range.
