Regino Rojas, with family members, as he launched Revolver Taco Lounge in Fort Worth in 2012.
Texas Monthly pegged it in December, when it wrote this headline about the Dallas restaurateur Regino Rojas, who opened the Revolver Taco Lounge in Fort Worth in 2012 before moving it to Dallas: “Dallas’ Regino ‘Gino’ Rojas stands out in Texas for his wildly creative food and his willingness to take risks (who says you can’t open a new restaurant concept during a pandemic?).”
The "new" restaurant the magazine was referring to was La Resistencia — a prix-fixe $65 taco tasting menu fusing Mexican cooking and Japanese yakitori grilling that Rojas, who grew up in Mexico, began offering to very limited seating inside his Dallas restaurant last year.
Rojas is at it again, letting word out this week that he’s negotiating to take over the former Taco Diner space at downtown Fort Worth’s Sundance Square. His plans, he said in an email to Fort Worth Inc.: a combo Revolver Taco Lounge and Purepecha, a reservations-only chef tasting menu that he had also opened in the back of his Dallas restaurant, but discontinued — at least temporarily — during the pandemic.
