- SShubhamChicago / Illinois •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat food. I didnt know this was a vegan restaurant but i was in awe with how well the food tasted.More infoGracias Madre - West HollywoodPrice: Expensive• Mexican• West Hollywood•4.7
- RRobertVIPLos Angeles •9 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 21, 2025Red O dropped one of my favorite menu items, the Goat Cheese Tamales so was disappointed by that, but the Branzino (Pescado Frito) was amazing as always. Slightly disappointed that Red O Santa Monica has become a very touristy restaurant. It used to be this wonderful high end Mexican Cantina, the bar was busy with customers and it was a hopping spot. We were there on a Friday night and no was in the bar and the place felt a bit stale. Still love the Red O, but miss the pre-Pandemic vibe.More infoRED O Cantina - Santa MonicaPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Mexican• Santa Monica•4.2

- KKathleenChicago / Illinois •6 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 8, 2025Exceptionally high quality experience! The staff is very professional and knowledgeable about the drinks and food preparations. They allowed us to move our reservation inside when the air got chilly. The service was on point and friendly. The food was AMAZING! The restaurant is donating this month a portion of their proceeds to a very important organization, the LA LGBT Center. I cannot think of anything they could do better—as a Chicago foodie, that evaluation should have some weight.More infoSocaloPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Santa Monica•4.6
