Rojo Gusano-Central opened quietly in Chicago’s Belmont-Cragin neighborhood last weekend, but expect more of a delicious fuss come July 1 and 2 when free tacos will be offered to mark its arrival.
The restaurant, a smaller outpost of chef Dudley Nieto’s original Rojo Gusano at 3830 W. Lawrence Ave., has 40 seats compared to the 80 seats at the Albany Park original.

Menus for the two spots are identical. Look for tacos with spicy chorizo, charred butternut squash, Korean barbecued beef and beer-battered fried fish, and also such goodies as octopus and shrimp ceviche, pibil pork rice bowls and portobello empanadas. There’s carryout service and catering, too.
The free tacos — one per person — will be offered from from 4 to 6 p.m. on both Friday, July 1 and Saturday, July 2.
