Peach marg
Hannah D.

Always love coming here, we had a lovely server! Seated on the patio, there were a view parties outside but it was pretty busy inside and we still were taken care of in a timely manner. Definitely get the peach frozen margarita it is so delicious as well as the mai tai (made with coconut rum, yummy!). Ordered a 3 combo plate with enchiladas and crispy tacos which never disappoint!

I can always count on Riviera Mexican Grill for quality food and service. OK, a few minor glitches during the years I have been coming here, but it's hard for me to give anything less than 5 stars This time I tried the Lobster Enchiladas for the first time. The dish was really good and flavorful. The lobster meat was well mixed with the pico de Gallo and ranchero salsa and was a. hit for me. So many items on the menu --- it's always a chance to try something new. As always I highly remind this resonant.

I went here on New Year's Eve and it had such a comforting atmosphere. The carne asada burrito was filling and tasted great. My favorite dish was the complementary chips and salsa! Service was a bit slow but that also could be due to being short staffed on the holiday season. Very good though :)

This a casual, yet cozy restaurant, makes you feel welcome and at home. Nice decor throughout, with lots of colorful coastal-themed art I was with a party of 5 (I was the 5th wheel, lol), we got a comfy booth for six by the entrance. There is a nice patio, but it was little chilly out. We began with complimentary chips and salsa and a round of drinks. Soon, we were having chicken tortilla soup, tacos and enchiladas. We were celebrating two March birthdays. They were kind enough to sing, and bring out a fancy sombrero. They also comp'd the birthday desserts. The staff and service felt like family. It was a fun and delicious evening. Located on Pacific Coast Highway, easy to find, small parking lot. Drop by when you're in the area, and don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!!

Combo and Entrees Food Menu

We had fantastic service from start to finish! Our host, waitress, and food servers were all welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Definitely felt like they all worked as a team! As soon as we were seated, our waitress brought out chips and salsa and took our orders. Food came out quite quickly. By the time we finished the chips, they offered us a refill, and came back with the chips and all of our food. Quite fast honestly! My husband had the carne asada burrito and I had the birria tacos. My husband enjoyed his burrito but it did have a lot more rice than he was expecting. Still great overall and very much a true wet burrito. I thought the carne asada itself was well marinated and cooked. I was in love with my birria tacos. Honestly if birria anything is on the menu, I'm most likely ordering it. Their homemade birria sauce made all the difference. So much flavor in each bite. Plus the extra broth and spicy salsa just added to every bite. So worth the order! Although they are quite busy, we usually get in and out within a hour with a small group. Pretty convenient with great food and great service! It's not easy to find parking, but we've lucked out with front parking the past few times we've gone (even when it's a busy night).

Grilled Salmon Tacos

Located in a great area close to the beach. We parked on the street and walked about two blocks. We're seated outside as we asked. Service was prompt and friendly. Ambiance is very nice. You can bring dogs. Food was delicious. Sorry we started eating and took pics later.

Crab enchilada

One of my new go to Mexican eateries especially during lunch time when I have my dog with me. Everything is good, service is great and the atmosphere is festive! Next time? Will try their menudo!

Joyce A.

Excellent service from Cosme and team! Food is great and comes with big servings. Ample parking for everyone. They have a nice indoor and outdoor seating. Great for small and big groups. It'a not the best; but definitely a must try. 9-30-2024

This was my 2nd time at the Riviera Mexican Grill. Everything we have ordered has been really good.

Another amazing lunch at Riviera Mexican Grill in Redondo Beach. Saul started us off with chips and two of their delicious salsas. Tori was our server and bartender and was nothing short of fantastic. Tori is professional, knowledgeable, and most of all kind and a joy to talk with. We started with Don Julio Blanco with club soda and three limes muddled with mint, and they were so good. We also had the chicken taquitos for an appetizer. For our entrees, my wife had the chicken enchilada plate, and I had the chile relleno and chicken enchilada. Both dishes were hot and tasty. The ambiance is cool and comfy. This place is definitely a local favorite. Highly recommended for great food, great people, and great service!

Solid spot serving Baja-style Mexican food in Redondo Beach. We tried the Pozole Verde de Pollo, Baja Shrimp Cocktail, Crab Enchiladas, Birria Quesadilla, Grilled Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos, and Baja Fish Tacos -- the crab enchiladas, Grilled Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos, and Baja shrimp cocktail were the highlights for me. The strawberry and mango margaritas we really enjoyed too. The space is bright and comfortable, and service is friendly. Overall, it hits the mark for flavorful food and a chill spot to grab a meal, especially if you're in the area.

Chips and salsa
Cecilia L.

I would say this restaurant is a hidden gem. The portions are huge and great for the price. I got the Baja fish tacos, which were delicious. I wish they came out quicker because they were a little cold, but that's OK. I understand they can be quite busy. We also ordered the shrimp enchilada and the burrito. The chips are addicting. There's always a good amount of people inside and outside. Our waiter was friendly and had good recommendations. Dogs are allowed in the outdoor seating area. There is a very tiny parking lot in front of the restaurant, but you have to get lucky. Otherwise you will have to find metered street parking.

Enchilada and Shredded Beef Crispy Taco
Kendra B.

I have been hearing this place for years and finally decide to check it out. The ambiance is lively but nothing special of a place... the food is decent but nothing to really write home about... the service is terrible! I give this place at most a 3 1/2 stars. Would I go back again.., maybe if that's all I get a choice for.., it's a casual and very convenient place since it's not that far from me. But is there a place that's cheaper and the same quality of food, yes, definitely. Service, don't get our drinks till much later, like over 30 mins for water, cocktail till after the food service (30-45+ mins later..). They were really backed up and we arrived at 6pm and didn't get our drinks till after 6:47... Food: pretty decent but not amazing. * fajitas - half steak & shrimp (I think this is pretty basic of Mexican food and you can't really screw this up anywhere... but not amazing but good) *their specialty carnitas - tasty (their bras and Mexican rice not so good..) * enchiladas and a crispy taco (pretty basic Mexican dish) Pros: convenient location since for me. Very basic Mexican food. Cons: bad service, their nachos they give free in the beginning was bad tasting, like it was old chips because it had a rancid oil taste. Or maybe they don't change out their oil. Tip: big parking in the back

Plenty of parking on the plaza…read more Came on a weekday night during Happy Hour. Place was packed. Ambiance was nice. Music was extremely loud, had to yell to have a conversation. Waiters kept checking on us. Got the mild Buffalo Wings for $14 and Parmesan Fries for $6. The wings were good. The Parmesan Fries were really good, they didn't skimped on the Parmesan. Both dishes were small and came with ranch sauce. Got place to watch the games with friends. Not the place to have a conversation.

The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.

We'd been to R&B last year and enjoyed it so much we agreed to meet there again. The parking lots was packed but surprisingly, the restaurant wasn't very crowded and we didn't have to wait at all. After skimming over the menu, I decided to try the chicken pot pie. Our server said it was a fairly new item and it was delicious. I took her at her word and was extremely happy with my selection. The crust was very unique in that it looked more like a fruit pie rather than a pot pie. I'm pleased to report the crust was delightfully flaky and buttery. It enveloped a generous portion of shredded rather than diced chicken and the blend of fillings hit the spot. My wife had the tuna nachos which were also wonderful but a bit lacking in portion size. Not being in the mood for alcohol, I ordered one of their "dirty" sodas which tasted very much like an orange 50/50 ice cream bar. The server was very sweet and extremely helpful. If the restaurant was a little closer to home, we'd probably frequent it more often but it definitely is a great choice if you happen to be in the south Torrance/Redondo Beach area. Looking forward to my next visit.

The chicken was all cut up not a whole chicken breast which I should have seen as a red flag. But I tried to enjoy it, thinking positive and enjoy my night. I finished the beer and ordered a small beer but I started feeling really dizzy during this time. And not from drinking. If you've ever been roofied you know this exact feeling. Things are moving slower. You're spinning. You don't have full control. And you could pass out at any second. Thankfully I got home but it continued in a shower I took to try and wake up, but that didn't work. On my sofa I passed out. And woke up the next day still not feeling good. Still needing to lay down and needing more sleep. Another night passed where I slept early. Like I was knocked out. And today, Friday I finally felt like it was all out of my system. And this all happened because I went to Slip. This is not a fluke. It was not an accident. It happened to me and it can happen to you too. It can happen anywhere maybe, or maybe not. But what's for sure is it happened to me there. If you're with Slip and you're reading this, do not try and make me an offer to return. I won't. Ever.

I haven't been to Keegan's Sports Lounge and Grill for a really long time. The last time I was here…read morewas for my Yelp friend, Mary C's birthday and that was years ago. I got to visit Keegan's again recently when a friend was visiting from out of town. We had just grabbed dinner and boba and headed out here to hang out for Saturday night. We came close to 10pm and there was a bouncer at the door checking everyone's IDs. The place was relatively packed with several different celebrations and birthdays in their outdoor area that has all the fire pits. They had waiters coming around the outside tables but one could also go straight to the bar to place drink orders. There were several tvs around the bar area and I spotted a pool area towards the back of the outside area. Most of the fire pits seating was taken by large parties but there were some smaller tables, that my friend and I were able to sit at. We didn't get any food but I got to try my old favorite Lemon Drop - which was a nice, refreshing sweet treat for a Saturday night. I did quickly scan the food menu and it's a lot of traditional bar food like burgers and fries. The music for the night consisted of old school rap songs from the 2000s. It seemed perfectly catered to the crowd for the night that seemed to consist of folks in their 30s and a few folks in their early 40s. Overall visiting here took me back to when my friend celebrated her birthday. It's an overall chill spot . The crowd wasn't overly loud or rowdy and everyone was just out enjoying a Saturday night.
