Always fresh and flavorful choices of meats, (Wednesday I got carnitas and al pastor), rice choices, bean choices, add any/all toppings and salsas. Guacamole is an add on and worth it for the texture and real avacado flavor and a good amount. The people are always so nice and service is great, (I can't overemphasize that), whether you're taking to go or dining in. I mostly take out and go home, where everyone is ready to dig in, but while I'm getting my orders I always notice the people eating there are enjoying themselves. It's in the Golden Cove Center far end of lot across from Trader Joe's. ...oh, their chips are also fresh made and hot!

We were quickly seated which was nice. We sat in the bar area by the window and there was a small view of the ocean which was a fun bonus. The staff were all welcoming upon arrival. We ordered the guacamole to start with some skinny margaritas. The guacamole was good but nothing special. The margs were good but seemed to lack tequila. My friend got her margarita blended and I don't think it had any liquor. For my main dish, I got the shrimp fajitas. They were very good! It came with rice, beans, sour cream and choice of flour or corn tortillas. By time we finished our meal, it was starting to get busy so I'd consider making a reservation if you come after 6pm. There is free parking in the front of the strip mall but there is not a ton. Overall it was good!

One of our favorites is the steak and shrimp fajitas, especially because they come with those colossal shrimp --everything is flavorful, fresh, and delicious!

Whether we're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a great place to enjoy a meal together, we know we can count on The Original Red Onion for great food, amazing drinks, and excellent customer service. We always leave happy and looking forward to our next visit! Highly recommend giving them a try--you won't be disappointed!

This is, by far, my best find of the last year! I knew this was the last remaining location of a…read moreonetime chain, but had never gotten around to checking it out. Fast forward to an event where a fellow Yelper told me how this was one of his favorite places. Done, I'm going! As high as my expectations were, The Original Red Onion beat them by a mile. Let's talk atmosphere. The restaurant interior is completely decorated; it's a theme park for the senses - absolutely beautiful. The service? Friendly and efficient. Chips and salsa come out quickly, as do your drinks and your meal. Speaking of food, a wide variety of delicious choices. One can keep it basic, or be adventurous. It was my first visit, but I still chose to do the latter - roast beef enchiladas with mole. Mole can take some getting used to, but I managed to get used to it right away - my meal was delicious! I'll get adventurous again on my next visit. (One can get the basics almost anywhere.) Also, a good choice of sides - more than just the typical refried beans and rice. (And, a serious salsa!) The Original Red Onion makes going out to restaurants fun again. Forget take-out, forget delivery services; get out there and dine again!

I've been using the post office next door for years, so I know this restaurant has been around for decades. It's funny that I hadn't made a purchase here until now.

When the craving hits, it's always tacos!…read more I stopped by Tacos El Goloso on PCH and ordered a mix of street tacos (carnitas and al pastor) along with the tacos dorados de birria. I've been here before, and the birria tacos were exactly what I needed for a late-night craving. Crispy on the outside with a good amount of filling and strong flavor - they really hit the spot. I ended up having four of them. The consomé on the side was really good too - rich and flavorful, almost something I could've just had on its own. The street tacos were solid. The carnitas had that tender, slightly crisp texture, and the al pastor added a bit more seasoning and contrast. Nothing overcomplicated, just straightforward and satisfying. Service was friendly, and the setup is quick and casual. In the South Bay where places tend to close early, it was nice that they were open until around 10pm. Overall, this is a no-frills taco spot where the focus is on the food. Easy choice when you're in the mood for tacos.

Today we got consomme, chips, and cucumber agua fresca. But the drink tasted a little on the stale side as if it's been there for days and not replenished daily. Not sure what happened. Usually it's on point but somebody dropped the ball. So taste the agua fresca before you walk away to make sure it's freshly made (fyi). Otherwise, food is great and consistent. Service: sometimes it's good sometimes not just depends on the day I guess. Ambiance: busy, always busy so maybe call or order online if you don't want to wait.

The service here is some of the best I've experienced. As someone in hospitality, Arturo deserves all the flowers! So kind and friendly! On point! The space has a nice outdoor patio that has covering for shade. We will definitely come back!

After checking out local reviews we decided to have dinner at Maderos. At first we were confused…read morebecause the sign at the foor said they were closed but when we saw a couple go Inside , we realized they were open. Service was very friendly and attentive and we were promptly seated and served fresh chips along with a trio of salsas which were fresh and had the perfect levels of spice. My son had the kids enchilada and enjoyed his meal. I ordered 3 tacos from the à la carte menu. The chicken was fine but the fish and shrimp were undercooked and I couldn't eat them, which is why I deducted the one star. The other deduction was for the underwhelming flavors in the meals themselves. Usually when a Mexican restaurant had amazing salsa, the same vibe carries through with the entrees , but unfortunately it wasn't my experience. I would probably try once more and edit my review based on a second experience.

I watched the first half of Spain/Belgium in the quarterfinals and Argentina/England in the semifinals. There are TV's where every table can see. Usually they will have a mix of movie, a novela, or a Liga MX game on. With the World Cup, they have the game on all TVs and the sound on too. The lunch crowds were larger than normal for the two games. Most of us had finished our food and were waiting for half time before we left. It isn't a bar, but for noon time futbol, it is a great atmosphere.

They got a wide selection of Mexican food and the street tacos (and regular tacos) were the reasons for our visit. The food is pretty good. A little on the pricier side but you're also in the Riviera in Redondo Beach. The ambiance is nice. Great vibes. Laid back, nice spot to relax and socialize. Their drink menu is pretty wide as well. Solid margaritas here. Given how busy they were, it took us some time to put in our order but we couldn't get mad at their waitstaff. They were very busy handling all the tables. Overall, this is a solid spot and I'd love to come back!

Today was the asada vVda burrito. Deassada was fresh, tender and juicy with lots of flavor. All the other ingredients blended well. It was on a smaller side but just enough. Albondigas was the worst of the order. It was hardly a soup that brought savory broth feeling and tender meatballs that comfort you. Instead the broth was super bland, meatballs were flavorless and too firm to cut with the. Had lots of veggies which was a plus if you like sweet with veggies which I do. I just wish they were also tender, swimming and good broth. Most restaurant serve fresh chips and salsa which they did. Complimentary chips were hard. This also was too heavy on oregano. Ordered some guacamole but had to ounce for them to cook fresh tosadas so we could eat with the guac instead of the hard chips. $14 wasn't too bad for the price and the portion. I did enjoy the one fish taco that I ordered. Was huge portion but stacked so high that you could barely close the tortilla. This is the first time I bought a flour. Tortilla worked well for the taco. It was also bland but I was able to salvage it with some of their spicy salsa that I requested. Places are heavy on the alcohol and drink menu which likely is a draw. I actually really love the Paloma which was non-alcoholic. However, the food must meet the mark and today I am sad to say it missed on several points For my standards. I really did appreciate the staff who were all very helpful, super friendly and did their best to accommodate all of our asks.

Has typically been decent. This last was absolute $hit. Lemme elaborate... Wifey got the classic chicken salad w/balsamic dressing. Far from classic. Loaded with iceberg lettuce and I mean loaded. The least expensive inclusion in a salad. That said, while it is supposed to come with cucumber slices, it did!!! All 3 of them. Lettuce was obviously not entirely fresh as there were soggy limp leaves throughout. The grilled chicken was dry and tomato slices were about an inch thick. The tomatoes and dressing were the best part of the salad. Wifey refused to eat the vast majority of it as thoughts of salmonella and psyclosporiasis began to dance through our heads... On to my "Maria's Salad Burrito w/shrimp" and an avocado "extra". (For a mere $3.50 extra I might add). When they advertise "with shrimp" understand they are being literal. One effing shrimp in the entire burrito. ONE. O.N.E.. ONE... As for the avocado, it too was virtually non existent. Maybe 3 little fingernail sized pieces. Will never ever go back to this piece of $hit establishment. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I refuse to be shamed. You, Prontos, have been.
