Great experience! The bogo margaritas were kicking and GREAT price! The chicken nachos were amazing, super flavorful and great size too. Kai, our waitress was phenomenal! She was kind, quick and accurate. The place is cutely decorated with sugar skulls and more. The kids loved the kids tacos. We will NO DOUBT be back to this place to try more. read more

Very cool ambiance and decor, water view is nice. Food was really good. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Had the carne asada street tacos, they were great. Wife had the grouper tacos, they were huge and delicious. Only gripe would be closing at 9pm in a tourist area seems odd. Even so, I want to get back to try the nachos. read more

I was craving Mexican food and the menu sounded great. The menu IS great, and the dip trio is very good. But the service... We sat in the bar area on a Saturday. Arrived shortly before 5pm, so it was hopping but not busy by any means. We waited at the front to be seated for about 7 minutes. We were then taken to our table in the bar area where there were several open tables. We were seated at one that hadn't been cleaned off yet from the previous occupants. Staff came and cleaned it off while we stood there awkwardly. Our server was not good. Like the kind of not good where you wonder why food service is the gig he chose in life. My husband had the sangria and I had water, and the server had to come back to our table twice to see what the order was again. After a long while, he returned with the sangria and handed it to me (it wasn't mine) but no water. We had to ask a few times. When we needed a refill we asked for them but we didn't get either beverage until after we were both done with our meals. The food was good. The view is good. The service needs some attention. read more

EXCELLENT in every way! Service was outstanding, Kai was super friendly and very attentive! Street Corn Chicken Bowl was delicious, Trio Dip was yummy and the BOGO margaritas were a hit with our entire table! The kids meals were reasonably priced and included fruit and a drink. Next time we are definitely doing their Patron Margarita flight!! The restaurant was clean and decorated so cute! We sat inside and had a beautiful view of the marina. Parking was close and free. We will most definitely be back! read more

Stopped into Mad Beach Cantina for the Burger Week event and had their "Birria Burger" and it was great!! Our server, Kate was very nice & friendly!! It was a rainy day, so it was quiet which was cool and made for a pleasant atmosphere. They have a waterfront view of the channel from the inside & also have covered outside seating by the bar section. We would like to stop in again another time to try more items on their menu. read more

Wonderful atmosphere and scenic views! Variety of seating options. BOGO House margaritas. You pay for chips and salsa but they were good. Loved our meals, so much food! Our party of 4 met for dinner at 5:15 on a Wednesday and had the chicken fajitas, chicken chimichanga, and chicken enchiladas plates. Loved them all. read more

Friendly Staff, lots of parking. Food was fresh and delicious. I ordered the cevichie app, carne Tacos, dinner companion had Chichen enchilada. My firt visit. Outside cabana bar to watch sunset across the street. read more

We had an excellent dinner and service here last night. We sat on the patio just before sunset and although an umbrella to block some sun would have been nice, it was eventually out of view. I had the skirt steak and although I've had better Chimichurri, this was not bad. It just didn't look fresh at all. I asked for a med rare steak which arrived perfectly cooked and tender. The margaritas were really good too. They had some upbeat music playing throughout the meal that we couldn't help but dance along to. read more

I was craving enchiladas and vip was closed so we came here!! Looks like we found a new spot!! Food was delicious, buy one get one margarita on point and service was great. Not disappointed! The views were incredible! Inside was cute. read more

Service was great for our table. The table next to us walked out. The margaritas were terrible. The flavor of the food was bland. The atmosphere was good. Maybe it was just a miss but we won't be back. Sorry! read more

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. read more

Can't go wrong! Lots of food options and eveyrone is nice and all the people are nice as well!! Mmmmmm

The food? Amazing! I had the carne asada tacos with corn tortillas and they were amazing. The music? Top tier! The service... questionable. We waited for over 15 minutes before we had a waiter come over to even ask us for drinks. When he did come over to finally do his job, he didn't talk and it was a very awkward experience. Not once did he come to check on us either. I'd come back for the food but the service needs to be better. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Freshest poke bowl around and the Nicest people in the world. In 6 days we must have gone there 8 times. Lunch and dinner. It was that good. Our youngest (8) is a picky eater and he loved their salmon teriyaki bowl. Kept asking to go back. They also have boba drinks and milk tea. My boys loved them and me not being a boba guy had a matcha milk tea. It was delicious. I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Stumbled on Mad Beach Cantina and so glad we did. It is tucked away on the third floor with a beachy vibe. The service was good and the homemade chips and salsa were a must have! The only minor shortfall, I ordered off the menu to be told they didn't prepare it that way (even though it specifically said it in writing). After a quick pivot - we still ate delicious food. Parking is a limited but there is a paid lot across the street. read more

Items purchased: 2 Skinny Margaritas, Chips and Salsa, 2 Portobello Fajita plates . Total $85. Food: B, Margaritas were ok, Chips and Salsa were definitely not homemade , the Fajitas were good, the problem was that the waiter didn't tell us that if we choose the black beans there would be a $2 up charge and when you substitute rice for black beans there would be a additional $2 up charge on top of the up charge. Service: B, Host greeted us and was polite and courteous. Waiter was polite but disappeared for awhile and I had to ask for our drinks also he should have informed us about up charges. Cleanliness: A, Dining area was clean. Bathroom was clean and stocked. Value : C, when we got the bill there was again another charge called "Service fee" Ambiance: B, The place could use some updating. read more

If you're anywhere near Mad Beach Cantina, do yourself a favor and go! This place absolutely delivers. From the second you walk in, the laid-back beach energy, great music, and that perfect mix of casual and lively that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. The food is top-tier. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and intentional. But what really took the experience over the top was the service. My waitress Pamela was incredible. Attentive without hovering, quick with recommendations, and just had that natural welcoming energy that makes you feel taken care of. She made the whole experience feel smooth and personal, not transactional. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does and it shows! And the drinks? They're exactly what you want at the beach. Strong, refreshing, and dangerously easy to keep ordering. It's the kind of place where one margarita turns into two then suddenly you're planning your next visit before you leave. Great food, great drinks, and standout service from Pamela made this an easy 10/10. I'll definitely be back. read more

Saturday at 12:30, not crowed. Terrible service, server when we said we were ready to order told us first, I need to run down the menu. No you didn't, as we already chose what we wanted. Told us the lunch specials were just marketing and all you get is a free Pepsi. I ordered it anyway, and when I ordered the nachos, he says they are very small... OK. They came with free chips and salsa, which I had to ask for 10 minutes later and only after I had to stop him. The free chips were about 12. Then we had to flag him down again to get a refill, only to be told they ran out of co2, so no refill?? What? Is it because it was free? Not once did he stop by the table. If you go and get Ken, do yourself a favor and get another table. read more

Mad Beach Cantina - Patron on my cup - Mexican Near Me - Madeira Beach, Florida

This was absolutely the worst Spanish food I have ever had in my life. I ordered the ranchero shrimp And it barely came with any rice and it was not even spicy. The food had no flavor., When I felt the food wasn't filling enough, I decided to order the Birria tacos which ended up being even worse, dripping with oil and had absolutely no taste. My waiter was more interested in talking to his other coworker about females. I only dealt with my waiter once and someone else ended up bringing me my food out twice. It's sad that this is a Spanish restaurant, but no Spanish people in it at all. Just goes to show you white people cannot make Spanish food. Definitely weigh out your options and go somewhere else. This food was mid and not worth the time. read more

As somebody from New Mexico, the food was a nice reminder of home during an adventurous vacation. Me and my mom's server, Troy, was very kind and frequently checked in on us to make sure everything tasted all right and to see if we wanted anything else. The service was also very quick and accurate. Troy, I hope you know how greatly I appreciate your service. Thank you! read more

The hostess took her time cleaning a table for us and used a dirty rag. Our appetizer was ok but my fajitas came out totally burnt. The peppers and onions were so burnt they were stuck to the pan. The waitress had to talk to her manager and he gave us a 25% discount on the fajitas. the waitress explained to us that we were just "one and done tourist" and would probably never come back so who cares. No apology, no replacement just a who cares attitude. The restroom was filthy too They were right, we'll never go back ! read more

Arrived to 30 minute wait, 45 minutes later was told I was missing from the wait list that initially showed us next then shifted us to 8th in line.

First thing when I walked in was the patron tree. The waiter saw it caught my eye and right away told me all about it. We had to get it at this point. We did come at happy hour as well, and I wish she did mention that as it would have been cheaper to do happy hour than the tree. The tree comes out to be about 11 a drink with patron as the tequila. For appetizers we got the dip trio and ceviche. All the dips were good and the ceviche was just what you would expect a ceviche to be. They did say other seafood would be included in the ceviche but all I saw was shrimp. We got a variety of tacos and each of them were part of the clean plate club. We devoured the tacos they were so good. They are known for their birria tacos and they are not wrong. Very flavorful especially dipping it in the consome. Wish there was more of it though! I will be back here again for those tacos for sure! read more

Great food. Waiter recommended the braised beef in whatever dish we wanted. It was excellent. Nice views on both sides of the restaurant. read more

We've been here before and liked it. This time was disappointing, however. We ordered 3 tacos (very small... like street tacos from a food truck?), and it came with chips and salsa. There were maybe 12 chips and a tiny plastic cup of salsa (maybe 1/4 cup?). The shredded pork tacos I ordered were fairly bland. To add rice and beans was another $3, and we both ordered that to our meal. We didn't order drinks, and our bill was $42. Then when adding a tip choice of 20%, 23%, or 28% tip... whoa. That's a pretty pricy lunch. The restaurant is on the second floor, and there's a pretty view of the water. read more

It was our first time to eat here! The staff was very nice and fun!! We had the Birria quesadillas and chimichanga! They come with a side of rice and beans. My husband and I could have shared the quesadillas! They were really good. I also had a Margarita that was really good! The restaurant is upstairs and you have a view of the inter coast with the boats and a glimpse of the of the ocean. read more
