是爱你的小宝呀
Had such a wonderful experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that immediately set the tone for a great meal. The food was absolutely delicious—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The tacos were perfectly seasoned, the enchiladas were rich and comforting, and the guacamole tasted so fresh it could have been made right at the table.
The highlight of my visit was the molcajete—a must-try dish if you’re coming here. It arrives sizzling hot, served in a traditional stone bowl, and is packed with tender meats, shrimp, melted cheese, and perfectly grilled veggies. The flavors blend together so well, and the portion is generous enough to share
The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff really made us feel welcome. I also loved the drinks—the margaritas were refreshing and well-balanced, the perfect pairing for the meal.
Overall, this place is a gem! Whether you’re craving authentic Mexican comfort food or just looking for a fun spot to enjoy with friends and family, I highly recommend it. I’ll definitely be coming back!

LOVE this place! Super conveniently located near the beach and hotels. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The food is great, tequila options galore. The super cute photographer comes around and takes your picture. Thanks again for such a fun night!!

This beautiful little restaurant off of Santa Monica Beach was a really nice experience on travels. It was the day that I proposed to my beautiful fiancé on her birthday weekend. This is one of the places we stopped to grab a bite to eat. They were very friendly and professional. They were kind enough to congratulate us and show good hospitality. They’re Mexican pizza is so amazing. We wanted more of it before we even received our main dish. I highly recommend this place. Thank you Red O Cantina.

Good presentation, kind of a miss on Mexican food flavor given the area and options for the price. Close to the pier and didn’t need a reservation for brunch on a Saturday.

We went for dinner without a reservation and were served promptly. The waiters were exceptionally attentive! The dishes arrived quickly and were delicious. The price is reasonable considering the service, the quality of the food, and the location.

Ate here on 4 July 2025. Was very busy, but we had booked a table. The food came relatively fast. Everything was well presented and appetising. The chicken fajitas were steaming hot and the chicken was moist. Had a lovely margarita too.

Great experience. Came for happy hour. $15 half dozen oysters can’t be beat! Absolutely delicious. Great and friendly service. Huge, warm chips and salsa.
Definitely stop by before or after hitting the pier!

As of now I’ve only been here three times and every single time has been a good experience food is excellent and seems to be very consistent with flavors.
Drinks are moderately priced we got to remember it’s a very tourist location outdoor seating is very nice too as well I really enjoy this place looking forward to going again.

Right on the ocean and a delicious Mexican restaurant! The service was attentive and food was fast and fresh. The carne asada was outstanding, ceviche was on point, taquitos were crispy and fully stuffed with chicken, and the fish tacos were light and flavorful. Chips and salsa made a great starter!

Food & service was great for bottomless cocktails but be careful about the tequila cart. I told them it was my partners bday & we got charged $100 for the recommended 2 shots!! Again, service & hospitality was great but we were blindsided by the charge for 2 tequila shots. All in all make sure you inquire before consuming!
