   First time coming and I brought my sister for her 24th birthday. The inside was very nice and clean with an intimate dim environment. Food was delicious. I ordered the sea bass plate and it was great. Only recommendation is maybe slicing the bell peppers a little bit thinner. Parking was accessible and easy and the location was easy to find as well. Drinks were delicious and strong but not too much. I will definitely be coming back again!

   I can see the difference, food quality has gone down and I do miss that Red-O from 2018

   Went for lunch and ordered from the EXPRESS MENU (lots of choices): Cheese Enchilada, Chicken Taco, Rice and Beans. We also split the RED O Chopped Salad. Every single item was superb and fantastic!!! The red sauce used on the Enchilada was the best I have ever tasted, very unique and not like any other (traditional, yet NOT in that it was ever so slightly sweet). I can not say enough about this wonderful restaurant, but here it is: FOOD: STELLAR (many choices, plus weekday EXPRESS Lunch Menu) Service: STELLAR Ambiance: Perfect and peaceful Pricing: Extremely reasonable for an EXPRESS lunch Staff: Fantastic and totally on their game!!! Decor: LOVELY, modern, EXTREMELY clean WE WILL RETURN, OFTEN.

    Quick service. Food came out very quickly. Very tasty Mexican food. The restaurant had a DJ playing music, it was a bit too loud. I could see everyone around us, including my wife and I, were having difficulty conversing at their tables. Turn the music down a notch and it’ll be a perfect experience.
