Blown away by the service here. Our waitress Andy was exceptional. She was extremely attentive and even swapped out our martini glass half way through drinking it for a freshly chilled glass. Nice touch.
The food was 10/10
We all felt it was a very warm inside. Some of us were sweating. Wish they could turn some A/C on.
Otherwise everything was exceptional and we will be back!

We’ve been coming to Bandera in Corona del Mar for years, and I have to say — I really miss the old Bandera.
Tonight my husband and I went for dinner, and unfortunately it just wasn’t the experience we’re used to. I ordered the margarita that typically has egg white shaken in, giving it that beautiful frothy, creamy finish on top. Twice it came out without that signature texture — no froth, no creaminess — just flat. It may seem like a small detail, but it’s part of what made that drink special.
We decided to split the prime rib dip, ordered medium well. Instead of sliced prime rib, the sandwich was filled with crumbles of meat. Every time we dipped it into the au jus, the meat fell right out, making it messy and disappointing. It lacked the quality and presentation we’ve come to expect.
The only standout tonight were the French fries — they were hot and delicious.
We’ve always loved Bandera, which is why this was so disappointing. I’m hoping this was just an off night, but it definitely didn’t feel like the Bandera we used to enjoy

I used to drive by Bandera in Corona Del Mar every day on my way to work, always curious about the buzz and lively atmosphere. One day, I finally decided to stop in, and I’m so glad I did. Since that first visit, it’s become a regular spot for me.
The food here is consistently excellent. I highly recommend starting with their appetizers, especially the Oreo dessert and banana pie, both of which are indulgent and delicious. One standout dish for me is their grilled artichoke, seasoned to perfection and incredibly flavorful. And don’t skip the cornbread, it’s rich, slightly sweet, and a must-try.
My only constructive feedback is about the parking situation. After 6pm, especially during peak dinner hours, it can be a bit of a challenge to find a spot nearby. It’s worth planning ahead or considering a rideshare if you’re coming in the evening.
Overall, Bandera offers a great dining experience, and I’ll definitely keep coming back.

We’ve been dining at Banderas in Corona del Mar for many years, and our kids truly grew up coming here. One of our most recent visits reminded us why this place holds such a special place in our hearts — our youngest was with us, and the staff was incredibly accommodating and thoughtful, bringing avocado and fresh fruit without hesitation.
Now that our kids are teenagers, Banderas is still one of their favorite places to dine and one of their favorite memories. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers consistently great food, warm service, and a family-friendly atmosphere over so many years. We always look forward to coming back.

We love Bandera! When there was one in Chicago we would go often and miss it a ton and while visiting California, we drove over an hour just to experience it again. We miss the legendary lamb sandwich that we used to get, yet the French dip and chicken sandwich did not disappoint. The Macho salad is a classic and so glad that and the Oreo desert were still on the menu. Such a great quality meal. And the ambience is elevated yet not pretentious. Hope they keep this concept! And our server, Hannah was outstanding with amazing down to earth hospitality! Anytime we are in the area we will be back and hope to visit similar concepts.

Have gone to Bandera since the early 2000’s, starting when the restaurant had a location in Scottsdale. Made reservations on a Wednesday. A 20 plus minute wait after the reservation before we were seated. Then the restaurant was out of signature rotisserie chicken and pork chop before 8 pm. Wait staff was excellent. My 4th choice of main course, as they were out of 3 other menu items, was way below my expectation. The beef ribs were more like burnt ends. Artichoke was delicious as usual. Still very disappointing with so many choices in the area. All atmosphere and make-up service for lack of quality.

Had an incredible dinner at Bandera in Corona Del Mar! From start to finish, everything was spot-on. I ordered the Hawaiian Rib Eye and took our server Tony’s recommendation to pair it with the Potatoes Colcannon. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the potatoes were creamy, and rich with flavor.
My husband had the chicken and rib combo and couldn’t stop raving about it. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and both the chicken and ribs were packed with flavor.
To top it all off, Tony also suggested the Pot de Crème for dessert, and it was the perfect ending smooth, rich, and not overly sweet.
Beyond the delicious food, what really elevated the experience was the outstanding service. Tony was attentive, friendly, and clearly knew the menu well. Next time we come back, we’ll definitely be asking to sit in his section again!

Very politely asked if they could accommodate a party up to five for our family and very rudely was told no. I don’t think I’ve ever left a 1-star review until now. We won’t be back. There are so many other great options where they’re kind and appreciate your patronage. Find another restaurant.

Dark Wood lends itself to the jazzy feel of the restaurant. Everything was excellent (macho salad, sweet potato and cheese enchilada with a fried egg on top, cornbread bites, and artichoke to start.). Martinis were $18 but they were good and food prices were in the mid $20s range. The artichokes are as good as ever which has always been very good at Bandera. The cornbread bites for $4 were reasonable and tasty. I would definitely be back.
