We tried Red Fish Taco fiesta the first time. What an awesome place. The best food in Blue Mountain for sure. Outstanding staff, great atmosphere. We loved it so much that the entire family elected to return the very next evening. read more

Although the atmosphere here is nice and attracts a good amount of tourists (like us!). Our friends who have a condo in the area were adamant about going to mainly take advantage of their happy hour tacos. But when I saw they were only pork ones I passed. I decided to get the shrimp tacos and the famous fries that my friends insisted I get. To be honest the best part were the fries. The tacos were "meh" and mostly because they came out a bit soggy and didn't have any sort of crispness to them that I associate with seafood tacos. I just wasn't impressed with the food. Also, the stink juice? Don't touch that. ewww However, there is a pink panther drink there thats AWESOME. read more

Visited this location on a Thursday night and although the line was long, it moved very quickly. I had the Chipotle chicken tacos - they were absolutely delicious! I would get them over and over again if I lived near by. They obviously pair perfectly with the stink juice. I'm glad our condo was within walking distance, that drink is no joke, its also a must try. lol read more

I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS 100000000 STARS!!!!! Me, my wife, and my son all came here absolutely famished last night and ordered inside. We sat outside and were delighted by the music coming from across the street, which was great!!! We got some tacos, a taco salad, and some fries with queso. They were delicious!!!!! Food came out fast and was absolutely perfect. Thank you, Red Fish Taco! I will be forever in your debt!! If we're ever in the area again, we will come immediately! - Matthew Jefferson IV read more

Ok. Food was good...however,I hate to post this review. Please know that they do not add any detail on their menu inside. Apparently, everything has some type mayo or aioli and nothing is noted. However, they make a point to say no special request unless allergies are involved on the menus. I'm very disappointed in this fact and think everything should be noted with what simple toppings are used without a deep dive online discovery. I feel this place should be called red fish "mayo" taco or mayo taco everything...... All in all, atmosphere was great. Everything else was good. Just bring your list of food allergies from a Dr. read more

Red Fish Taco - Tacos Near Me - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

I saw this restaurant en route to my beach condo, so when hunger finally hit after a day of exploring, I looked up their website. Their online ordering is not operating, despite what the website or the phone system said. I wanted to order on the phone, but my phone connection was bad so I headed over there. The only reason there was a line to order was because a patron was asking what each item was on the menu. I ordered to go and it was ready in about 15 minutes. I overlooked my order the first time it was brought out bc the tickets aren't well marked. By the time I got back to my condo (about 5 minutes later), the food was really cold. However, the food was super good. I got the Mexican street corn, and it was pretty legit. I also order the grilled redfish tacos and wow - that is a lot of food. Granted it is a little pricier than you would pay a lot of places, but this is 30a. The service was super friendly, and they have live music. I was impressed watching their staff work around everyone. They have a ton of outdoor seating, and they have live music on some nights. This is definitely somewhere I would come back to! read more

Really good taco salad with blackened shrimp. I highly recommend. Husband got the shrimp quesadillas and he loved those. Red Fish Taco does not disappoint. read more

Well I could not be anymore disappointed than I am. I have eaten here several times a year for last 4 years. Its our go to place on the nights we drive in for a long weekend as well as when I bring my work staff here for a beach and boat weekend. Remodeled and new ownership from what I can tell. Its not even close to how good it use to be Fish serving size maybe 50% of what it was. The queso equivalent to velveta out of the jar. Flavors of the meal is nonexistent. Salsa isnt salsa anymore. Its a bland product right out of Tom Thumb pick up counter. Ambience is not the same. But most importantly food is not the same. Place will loose its regulars. read more

Food and atmosphere were much better before the recent change in ownership We're locals and were very disappointed with our last experience. read more

It's a bit of a wait but the music and ambience was kicking! The taco salad was over the top mixed in with it was red wine vinegar soaked the the Black Eyed Peas! Wow I'm coming back! Lived here 7 years. It's changed hands a few times. Hope red fish tacos is here to stay! read more

My sons and I ate here twice during our spring break week - they are 10 & 12. We sampled the quesadillas, queso, beef street tacos and red fish tacos - all were amazeballs! There was live music and a crawfish boil Friday night which drew a big crowd. Some staff were masked, some were not and most patrons were not. I'm vaccinated, my children are not, so we dined outdoors our first night and ordered takeout our second time but wore masks indoors to order for both. Would love to bring my husband back next time. Loved that we could walk here from our rental house! read more

Jalapeño Pepper Jack queso was fantastic. We loved the crispy catfish tacos, the carnitas, and the dip. Would go again any day.

Red Fish is super close to the beach and our air bnb so we decided to ride our bikes over for a bite to eat. We came right at the dinner rush thus waited in line to order for about 10 minutes or so, which wasn't too bad all things considered. They have tons of seating - indoor and outdoor - and the back patio is covered and really enjoyable. We got our chips and queso really quickly and that tided us over for our wait of about 20 minutes for our tacos. Catfish tacos were nice and crispy and a fun seaside choice! All of the staff was really polite and helpful as well. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would recommend it if you're ever in the Blue Mountain area. read more

I think the remodel looks amazing. The food is also still great and reasonably priced. Despite another recent reviewers' post, I believe the new owners are indeed local. I will be back. read more

HH changed and has only 2 items, not much incentive. Staff seems very unhappy and possibly overworked. Barback woman was stunned when I asked simple questions, slightly defensive and lacks customer service. Overpriced food that lacks flavor and quality. Crap beer on tap. Great for tourists read more

Stopped here because it was a few minute walk from our vacation rental home and had good reviews. Ordered chips and queso and firecracker shrimp tacos. My sister ordered the chicken tacos. We also found some of the prepackaged to go salsa cups off to the side of the restaurant. Everything was SO GOOD. We even devoured all the extra salsas we brought with us. The food was so delicious that we were still thinking about it today and decided to have it again for dinner tonight. Got the brisket quesadilla which was probably the best quesadilla I've had with the corn salsa and white barbecue drizzle. My parents got the chicken quesadillas and my sister got the blackened shrimp tacos. Everyone loved their food! Such great restaurant and we'll for sure be back next time we're here. Thank you! read more

Redfish tacos next to Redfish Lake. At Redfish Taco, the eponymous restaurant. About 1/2 the price of the better-known beach area restaurants. The recipes are interesting and textured, lots of flavors intertwined. Fresh and delicious.  This place is well worth a visit  Every once in a while, you will encounter a bit of hot spice in one thing or another (didn't in the fish tacos, but yes in salsa and blackened shrimp). Not a problem for me.  Right on 30A at Blue Mountain Beach. read more

We took our family of 8 here around 3:30 pm for a late lunch on a Monday. The service was quick and friendly, it had a nice local bar feel, and the food was amazing. Highly recommend the blackened shrimp tacos and the street corn side! read more

the best Mexican food on 30a! will dream about the fajitas and fresh tortillas. cannot wait to get back!

Great atmosphere! Blackened shrimp tacos were amazing! Stinky margaritas were ok but not as good as I thought they would be. But the food made up for it! read more

Fish tacos were fantastic. The street corn was cold. It was still very nicely prepped...just cold. My son enjoyed the shrimp tacos. Also, the salsa was good- a little sweetness with some mango, maybe. read more

Great aesthetic and food! We got the dip trio of salsa, queso, and guac and it was delish. For entree, I tried the beef and cheddar tacos and a side of Mexican street corn. Both were packed with flavor! Later that night, I ate my wife's leftover chicken and cheddar tacos, and I can attest that the food reheats well. Only downsides to this spot, is that the menu is limited. But, everything we sampled was great. I highly recommend going ! read more

The experience at Red Fish Taco is always a highlight of our trips to the gulf. The food is delicious, priced fairly, and the service is excellent. The ambiance of eating outside is so relaxing and serine. Always a must on our annual food tour. read more

To Go Order: Can't go wrong with a taco! When looking for a place that would satisfy adults and kiddos..this place seemed like a good option. I love a simple taco..no need for a bunch of fluff to mask the flavor of the protein. I chose the smoked brisket taco and it was FAN TASTIC. They had a nice smoky flavor with a kick of spice. The spice was just enough to feel it but it didnt overpower the brisket. There was also a crispy slaw on top that balanced out the flavor of everything well. They should work on the packaging..my tacos looked like they were just thrown in the box..not much care taken to keep them together so to speak. Would like to try some other options when I am in the area again. read more

I have been to restaurants with much better food- that includes what you would normally get- this restaurant has you purchase everything separately. The live music is fun! This restaurant really rocked when it was Trebeche [sic]. I believe the same owners just a different style of service and food. read more

Okay -- here the reason for only four stars. Start with 5 stars and subtract for some issues as a customer (and a new home owner right down the street) Subtract 1 star - for band choices. Don't kill me for this, but listen, here's the deal...people are here on vacation...they don't want to hear some new artist singing a song no one ever heard of...and they can't sing along (and drink along) to. I love new bands - but on vacation, I wanna sing along and celebrate the fact that I'm not working...I don't want to overly pay attention to some band that will never have a hit. I'm sorry if that's blasphemy, but I bet y'all agree with me. Beyond the band issue, the food was good (maybe great) but I didn't really love standing in line inside to order my food and also stand in a different line for booze while hoping my table will be available outside...close to the "B" band. Management: Can you please fix this? If you have to pick only one thing to fix - pick the easier one; simply hire bands that play "sing-a-long" covers! See ya tomorrow . Sorry to be picky. read more

The tacos and live music were a great way to spend a Monday night! I highly recommend the blackened shrimp taco

I am from Texas. We have a taco joint on every corner. Who would have thought I had to go to Florida to get the best tacos ever. This is by far our favorite place to go when we are on 30A. We have been here a week and visited Red Fish three times already. Go. Order tacos and a margarita. Sit on the patio and listen to the live music. You won't regret it. Perfection. read more

Great location and walkable from our Airbnb. The salad was incredibly good. The dip trio was also good but was lacking in amount of chips. I thought this was a neat and low key option and honestly there aren't many food options around, but it's not necessarily somewhere you want to eat every day. Overall a solid 4 stars. Note that you have to get your own water and salsa. read more

Perfect casual spot by the beach. My family came here twice during our 7 day stay because it was down the street from our house and the beach. Very casual, the second time we came during lunch off the beach (no shirt, no shoes, no problem). Both times I had the Taco Salad with marinated chicken thigh meat which was a big portion and comes in a taco bowl. 10/10 would recommend. The quesadillas were a little greasy which some in my party absolutely loved and others eh. Tortilla chips were fresh and paired well with their queso and guac. The first time we came at dinner service, it was recommended by the guy taking our order that "the frozen margaritas are watered down" and then uphold us to the frozen Margarita with an extra shot tube in it. Not the move. Not to mention was $22/per marg. Rookie error. The second time we came back for lunch, the girl taking our order said "the house margs on the rocks are great and they make them fresh daily" That's the move. I had two, they were truly delicious and fresh. I went back to the beach that afternoon with a nice little buzz. read more

Always one of our staples but we like trying new things on the menu or at least a variation of our go-to. This time we got the taco salad but with blackened shrimp. It was really good and I would get that again, but probably go back to the fish next time. My wife got the crispy catfish tacos which were tasty but not the healthiest, they were big too. And a quesadilla for our daughter. Always good and can't wait to get back. read more

Great food! We did a carry out order from there and it was definitely delicious!!! We've been back there many times!

We stopped in at Red Fish Taco our first night in Blue Mountain Beach. Our toddler was super fussy from the car ride so we got our food to go. The street corn and grilled avocado were amazing! I got the carnitas flour tacos--yummy and pretty big portion for just 2 tacos. I also ordered the spicy margarita while waiting for our food much needed after a 6 hour car ride with an 18 month old. They had live music playing outside. We didn't get to stay for it but there were people eating on the patio listening to the music and people sitting on their tailgates. Atmosphere was fun and energetic inside and outback where the music was, but more laid back outside by the front entrance. read more

The closest taco place near where we have been staying and turns out, it's THE BEST! We've done a lot of traveling and I've been a connoisseur of tacos in most tourist areas we have been. Hands down, best tacos I've had in a very long time. Prices were extremely reasonable in an area that tends to have "tourist food prices." I was extremely impressed! We will be returning, for sure! Bonus points- enjoy the live music outside in perfect temperatures while eating street tacos?! Ok, well, I think I WILL. read more

Great food, great service, we had the corn tacos which were amazing. Our kid got the runs, 5-Stars!! read more

Red Fish Taco - Gibby and Dad. - Tacos Near Me - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

My partner and I were returning to Destin from seaside needing to eat, RFT had good reviews, we wanted to try it out. Arrived at 11:30 today (Memorial Day) and were one of three total parties inside for lunch, which we found strange. Ordered brisket tacos (menu specifies 3 tacos), the three dip appetizer, and a rice bowl special. Our order came out to 60 dollars, which is a lot for a two person counter order lunch, but we didn't think much of it, it's 30A and must be good if that's the cost for two lunch plates and an appetizer. The three dip appetizer came first and it was pretty good, in hindsight by far the best part of the meal (though how hard is it to mess up queso, guac, wnd salsa?). Then our meal came, and I hate to say it, it was just bad. Two tacos came on my plate, which I brought up with the counter lady, and she said "it's the same amount of meat/filling but we can bring you another tortilla, to which I said no it's ok, and then she apologized and said she'd just bring another taco, to which I was like whatever. And the tacos were not very good, and did not have much to them, not bad but just totally forgettable. My partners special fried rice bowl was the same deal, just not very good, not a lot of meat and fairly bland across the board. Towards the end of the meal, we were brought...another blank tortilla. Also, they auto charge you gratuity for counter service, I tipped on top of that, and from the above experience you can see why I'm a bit annoyed after the fact. Just a poor outing, too expensive, incomplete order and/or bad service (still not sure?), and the food was just not very good. I'm not one to be overly critical but I feel like this 1 star review was deserved. read more

I was disappointed as my fish was a little hard instead of succulent. Also there isn't that much filling for how big the taco is. I had remembered seeing tacos with what looked like a mango and pineapple salsa on it. The tacos just had a like 2 small pieces of bell pepper in each one. The black beans I got as a side was an extra 5 dollars...a side should be included....if you ask me the tacos should have a little bit of black beans on them and it should come with fries...also they charge you 3 dollars extra to use a credit card and they automatically include a 10% tip...all of that is a bit ridiculous. read more

Great Atmosphere and incredible food. Mexican food, however, which makes it really un-cool to only have one stall in the men's bathroom. Lost a star for that reason only! It's big enough for two stalls!! read more

I stopped in on Thursday afternoon since I haven't eaten at Redfish Taco in a long time. I ordered the redfish tacos with an iced tea. The tacos were served hot, flavorful, with a nice presentation. The redfish was seasoned very well and a nice size. The iced tea tasted brewed instead of the usual "see-through" tea I've gotten in other restaurants. read more

My blackened shrimp tacos with aioli sauce were delightful. I also tried my wife's brisket tacos and was equally impressed. They had great frozen margaritas also and the ambiance was sublime. read more
