Great spot for authentic Mexican cuisine. Staff is always friendly and attentive. Prices are very reasonable, food is delicious. Lots of parking in a private lot.

A great old school neighborhood Mexican place with a lot of character. I had the chicken mole and did not expect a half chicken! It was delicious, the mole sauce coated everything just right. We also got the burrito combo and the size, a flavor, was impressive. Service was friendly; drinks were good and prices are more than fair.

A Hidden Gem Worth Finding: The Red Onion Restaurant in Rolling Hills

As a self-professed reservation skeptic, I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at The Red Onion for our 6:45 booking. True to their word, within 30 seconds of checking in, we were comfortably seated in a cozy booth ready to explore their menu.

The restaurant’s warm, homey ambience immediately explained why so many local families make this their regular dining spot. The Red Onion has clearly built a loyal following through years of consistent quality and service, a testament to their enduring legacy in Rolling Hills.

Their menu offers an impressive array of options, but the fajita combos are truly exceptional. The beef was remarkably tender and the chicken was perfectly seasoned, all served with traditional accompaniments that complemented the main stars beautifully. Each bite delivered authentic flavors that transported us straight to Mexico.

I must also mention the soup, absolutely heavenly! Rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care, it set the perfect tone for what turned out to be an outstanding meal.

The portions were so generous that we couldn’t finish everything, which meant we got to enjoy The Red Onion’s delicious offerings again the next day. Sometimes leftovers are the best surprise gift from a restaurant experience!

It’s no mystery why The Red Onion has become a neighborhood favorite. Between the efficient service, family-friendly atmosphere, and exceptional food, they’ve created the perfect formula for dining success. If you’re in Rolling Hills and looking for a reliable, delicious meal that will please everyone in your group, The Red Onion deserves a spot at the top of your list.

Great place to eat and relax in an old school restaurant. There are signed photos and trophies from guests dating back the middle of the last century. The service is impeccable. The drinks are delicious. In an area where Mexican food is abundant and available in a variety of choices this restaurant is unique. They have stayed true to their Mexican American style. It reminds me of the 1970’s
That’s a good thing. So if you are curious, go check it out. I am sure you will enjoy yourself.

It is very nicely decorated Mexican restaurant with many booths and tables and sports bar. I just tried their fish tacos and their tomato based soup. Both were definitely good. Tacos were quite large and filling. It was like half a burrito in weight. The salsa served with corn chips are very good as well. Slightly spicy. Parking is available on the street and in the rear.

Nice atmosphere. I’ve never been to the original Red Onion. The sirloin salad was awesome. From a culinary standpoint, if the salad were chopped more, the flavors would blend better. IMHO

What a great place to take the family for dinner. Food was great and the staff were excellent. We got there before the crowd but when we left it was packed. Proof that the Red Onion is a popular place to eat.

Food was great! Unfortunately they were out of refried beans but i can’t hold that against them as they gave me 4 sides instead of 2 to make up for it! Crazy. Very generous portions of delicious food. The mexican fried potatos were not my favorite but they were made well. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for high quality mexican food. Service was excellent, refills of chips, salsa, and drinks were fast and they checked on us often. One of my favorite mexican restaurants of all time!

Our absolute favorite place for Mexican in the South Bay and definitely in our top overall restaurants as well. Always fresh food, great service and can’t beat ambiance every visit! We’ve never had a bad or even subpar trip. I’d suggest getting reservations as it’s a super popular spot for dinner but even when we’ve walked in, the wait is never egregious. Can’t recommend highly enough for locals and out-of-towners alike!

I expected this to be overrated by family members that talked super highly about it. But after trying it for the first time, I was seriously impressed. I had the mole negro chicken which is a notoriously tough dish to get right and was absolutely delighted. Extremely reasonable prices, fast, friendly service and incredible ambience and decor are the icing on the cake. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
