Delicious, top-tier Mexican food. Ambiance is among the finest in all San Diego. Red O service is truly outstanding. Awesome server and bartender checked on us diligently. Three separate managers approached us to assure our satisfaction. This was our first time here, and we will be back frequently. They validate parking for three hours.

We usually come here during the day for the view, but the food is always on point, so we tried it for an evening celebration. December in San Diego is not the typical winter weather, so we sat outside, and with all the heaters, the temperature was perfect. As always, the food did not disappoint, and our server was wonderful!!! It's of our favorite places on the water!
