The Mad Beach Cantina is a place worth visiting if you’re in Madeira Beach, Florida. The outside of the building is definitely eye-catching, especially at night. There are both stairs and an elevator to reach the restaurant. The inside décor was fairly simple, although I liked the light shades made out of straw hats. The view overlooking the Madeira Bay Marina is beautiful.
Our server Mike was personable, knowledgeable, and attentive – just the right balance for a server. While the food was enjoyable and nicely portioned, it didn’t quite rise to a memorable, made-from-scratch experience—more of a solid meal than a culinary highlight. One small limitation worth noting is that there’s no mixing option between beef and chicken enchiladas: it’s all one or the other. The BOGO margaritas (ask for details before ordering) rounded out a nice dining experience and complemented the meal well.

Our waitress Adriana was lovely and very helpful. Service attentive and food came out quickly plus all tasty. Soup and salad starters followed by quesedillas and fajitas of different types. No wine by the bottle though and my preferred wine not available so had to settle for tiny plastic glasses of house wine which wasn’t great. Food good – wine not so and for me they go hand in hand hence the rating..

The service makes this place really special! It was our first time here, and we came because of the beautiful upstairs patio and the water view. What blew us away was the bartender’s service and skills! (The other servers were great too!) He made me the best sangria I’ve ever had. And the margarita was well made too 🙂 If we weren’t so tired from traveling we would have stayed longer. The corn appetizer was super tasty, and my shrimp quesedilla came with a boatload of rice and beans! Will definitely return next time I’m in st pete <3
For credit we came 1/22
Rockstar crew! 🙂

Very cool place. Carne asada tacos for good. The Birria chimichanga was good the cinnamon made it taste like you were eating meat donut. It was good. The guacamole is on point. The sweet tea is instant and gross.

You absolutely must try the Birra Chimichanga. Out of this world’s delicious. Our server Mehdi was so friendly, attentive, and made us feel relaxed. If you are at Madeira Beach, go to Mad Beach Cantina. You will not be disappointed.

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Outstanding Service from Jarred at Mad Beach Cantina**
Jarred is an absolutely awesome bartender. From the moment we sat down, he was welcoming, attentive, and on top of everything. He makes great recommendations, mixes drinks perfectly, and keeps the atmosphere fun without ever being overbearing. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows in the quality of his service.
If you’re at Mad Beach Cantina, definitely try to grab a seat at Jarred’s bar—you won’t be disappointed!

Grouper tacos were very good and trio appetizer with salsa/guacamole/queso. Bogo margaritas were good! Blackberry a must try. Staff super friendly and the view when sitting outside was very nice great atmosphere. I will definitely go back! Small menu selection the focus is tacos, you do not get free chips and salsa just an fyi 🙂 taco meals come with chips and salsa and costs extra for rice and beans which was very good.

We had dinner here on vacation and was pleasantly surprised! Location is on a marina next to an inlet in Madeira beach….the restaurant is on the top floor of the building looking out over the marina. Nice views with indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is very pleasant and attentive and always there if needed. We had the taco, chickens and beef, and the Cantina enchiladas with chicken verde and beans and rice. All the entrees were very well prepared, large servings, and very well flavored!! One of our best meals so far on vacation!!
Also don’t pass on the 2 for $10 margaritas!!
Only real gripe would be having to pay for chips and salsa at this price point…not expensive but not usual!!
Highly recommend!!
