    Shrimp Fajitas
    Melissa P.

    Birria tacos and Fajitas are AMAZING. Also, their beans are the BEST I have ever had. Flavorful smokey velvet delight.

    Mexican street corn
    Melissa G.

    I've been to the cantina many of times, people are always friendly. As busy as it gets, the service is always on point. The view of the bay on one side and the ocean on the other is a perk. Never had to make a reservation as there is a lot of seating available. Food always good as well. We have tried multiple dishes, and everything has been very good.

    Make your own Margarita
    Michaela H.

    Mad Beach Cantina is a mixture of locals and tourists, tends to cater more to the tourists and that fixes the price point. We enjoyed our salsa and chips at the bar along with a couple of nice sized build your own Margaritas. Margaritas are always nice sized and the bartenders don't skimp on the alcohol but make it taste delicious. Definitely make your own Margarita, it's so worth it! We did enjoy a light meal of street tacos: BIRRIA TACOS WITH CONSOMÉ- house specialty and very savory and delicious. Also enjoyed the ENSALADA DE LA CASA, light and not heavy after a beach day or hard day at work. Staff is busy but attentive. You'll enjoy a water view of the intercoastal and we recommend reservations unless you don't mind sitting at the bar or waiting.

    Shrimp tacos and gringo tacos (beef) on taco Tuesday- bogo margaritas both excellent
    Steve P.

    Went back for some taco Tuesday magic and had the great fortune of having Ryan behind the bar. Outstanding tacos (shrimp and grongo beef) with some bogo margaritas. Can't emphasize enough how Ryan made our night. A true Pro behind the bar. Mahdi also welcomed us like we were regulars. We will definitely go back during our short stay here. Love this place. Sit at the bar if you can and order the Patron kicker with your bogo margaritas- won't regret it. Thank you!

    Abuela's Bean Dip with Chips!  Awesome stuff!

    I have been a fan of the Mad Beach Cantina since they have opened a few years back and I have been actively coining the phrase; Madeira Beaches Infamous - "The Madeira Riviera!" The open-aire Margarita Bar is my favorite place to sit overlooking the Madeira Bay Marina and all the beautiful yachts looking to my left while looking to my right reveals views of the open Gulf waters between the Condo's with a refreshing balmy breeze on most days. The ambience both speaking volumes in waterfront Florida had a festive "Fiesta" feel with the colors and artwork. Our mixologist Adrian was friendly and welcoming and made some fantastic Bloody Marys for us after seating. He was talkative and friendly giving us that "welcome" feel! I always get a custom "Build Your Own Margarita" as that is the house specialty and just love the "Spicy, Skinny w/Salt" and my tequila choice at the time. Something to be said about the balmy/breezy views sipping a Margarita! We have always enjoyed their food usually putting just a slight twist on typical Mexican fare that's somewhere in between authentic and Tex-Mex... Their lates Birria offerings brought us in this day for Birria Quesadillas with Refried Beans, Mexican Rice & Consommé for dipping. After a Queso & Chorizo w/Chips appetizer was a very delicious meal and will be back for other Birria offerings! The second floor elevated perch coupled with great food and cold drinks makes for a stop worthy of both locals and tourists! Nestled between both Madeira Bay Resorts 1&2 - the Mad Beach Cantina is in my opinion "THE MADEIRA RIVIERA" in Madeira Beach. If Adrian is on-duty, hopefully your visit will be as enjoyable as ours was! All in all was a great meal, reasonably priced and we felt completely satisfied - We'll be back!

    Fajitas
    Nikki J.

    We had a great dinner at Mad Beach Cantina! You do have to climb some steps to get up there, although I do believe there was an elevator available. Our server was friendly and prompt, we had chips and salsa and shared the fajitas. Also the Bogo margaritas they advertise are smaller but honestly a great deal for $10. A short 2 block walk from the St Johns Pass boardwalk area. We will be back!

    Patron on my cup
    Jessica P.

    The view, the shots of Patron on your cup, our server Mike... all amazing, and hims was entertaining!! The food was delightful too

    Drinks, Friends and a great bartender to start a "60" Birthday Celebration. Thank you Krissy

    One of the best local spots in Mad Beach. I suggest eating at the bar outside. Margaritas are on point!

    Would rate this a 4.5 but you can't do half stars…read more Delicious Mexican food, I had the mix & match enchilada dinner, and my husband had the wicked burrito. The mix & match was plentiful and way more than I could eat, the wicked burrito, a tad spicy, but my husband ate every bit of it. Loved the shredded chicken enchilada, seasoned perfectly. Our waitress, Jennie S. was on top of things, coming around often checking on us, very friendly offering suggestions. The establishment looks better on the inside, a little deceiving from the road which I think the sign makes it look a little worn. The inside looks newer & cleaner. Would definitely bring our friends here that love Mexican food, I think this is one of the better establishments around.

    Very fun, large open restaurant. Clean and nice decor…read more Our service was great! Very accommodating, brought another helping of chips & salsa. The salsa was good, the chips were hot. The food, not so great. Nothing special. My honey had Cowboy Brisket tacos with refried beans & Mexican rice. The meat had not much flavor, The Jalapeño slaw was missing the Jalapeño flavor, tasted just like slaw. The rice was dry not much flavor and the refried beans were bland. I had the Mexican Cesar salad with pumpkin seed cilantro dressing. I didn't taste any cilantro. I had a side of shredded chicken that was overloaded with so much granular spice that it tasted powdery. We probably won't come back.
