About RED O "Taste of Mexico"

Red O "Taste of Mexico" offers an elevated and gourmet Mexican dining experience in a large, beautiful, and comfortable dining room with both booths and tables. Guests are welcomed with warm chips and thick salsa, with the option to add delicious guacamole. The menu features ample and delicious dishes like fish tacos and carnitas, and includes options such as red o wet burritos that many diners find hard to finish due to their generous portions. The restaurant is known for high-end Mexican food, not typical cheese-laden Americanized options or street food. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, with servers able to recommend wine pairings and dishes, enhancing the dining experience. For special occasions, the restaurant provides treats like a piece of Tres Leche Cake and has surprised guests with birthday desserts and cards, without any embarrassing singing. While parking can be a bit challenging, with both parking and valet options available, the overall experience is often described as the best Mexican food in San Diego. Many diners mention that the food and atmosphere are top-notch, and some have praised the excellent service provided by staff members like Jocelyn and Joey, who go above and beyond to make guests feel welcomed. However, there are mixed reviews regarding the accommodating nature for small parties, as some guests have noted challenges with seating despite having a reservation. Despite these issues, many recommend Red O for a quality meal in a phenomenal location.
