Cielo Rojo

Established in 2018. traditional mexican cuisine, vegan friendly, california inspired, gluten-free, organic Cielo Rojo is a family owned fine-casual Mexican restaurant in the heart of Takoma Park, MD. The owners first met in 2012 at an organic vegan Mexican restaurant in SF. They proceeded to fall in love over their shared passions for Mexican food & mezcal. The name Cielo Rojo was born from one of their favorite mariachi songs but also stems from their love of sunsets. From Fort Funston, CA to the beaches of Mexico & Chile, the sunset represents the moments of clarity & calm that have been shared with family & friends over the years. After the birth of their daughter, they moved back east to be closer to family. Knowing how special the community of Takoma Park is they felt it the perfect DC-area home for their California-inspired traditional Mexican cuisine. The communitys progressive & family-focused environment aligns perfectly with the mission for their restaurant, a place where friends & family can come together to nourish themselves with the beauty of food, community & mezcal.
