- MMark1 review4.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a good experience at Red O. It was a Saturday night so there was a LOT of energy. Fortunately our table was not right next to another one so my wife and I could hear other. The food and drinks were very good although I wish that my entree had come out a bit warmer. The highlight of the evening was our server Veronica. She was outstanding with her recommendations and attentiveness!More infoRED O Taste of Mexico - Newport BeachPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Newport Beach•4.6
- OTOpenTable DinerLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined on May 8, 202510/10 Experience – A Must-Visit! Five of us came to Santo Remedio and every single one of us gave it a solid 10/10. The portions were generous, the flavors were absolutely on point, and the presentation was beautiful. From the molcajete to the aguachile and cocktails, everything was delicious. The drinks were perfectly balanced and creative we even did a flight and couldn’t pick a favorite! It’s rare for a group to unanimously agree, but this is the one spot everyone wants to come back to. Incredible vibe, great service, and unforgettable food.More infoSanto Remedio Mexican Resto-BarPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Mexican• Orange•4.5
