    **Family Friendly and they allow strollers** I can't say enough positive things about RED O's they are always kind, accommodating and welcoming to everyone. They have incredible food the portion size and flavor never disappoint. They even have bottomless drinks on the weekend. From the moment you walked in the door Matt checked us in and took us to our table. Our server today was Jose we sat in the atrium which is always our favorite location he was very attentive and was great with our little one. We will definitely be back to RED O's they have earned our Buisness from now on. Javier's is absolute trash in comparison. If you're looking for great ambiance and savory Mexican food look no further!

    Our waiter was very friendly and helpful to my friend and I. My friend had the tortilla soup and I love how it came out and how the broth was poured into the bowl by the server. She loved it. I ordered the chicken enchiladas. The chicken wasn't too wet or too dry in the enchilada which was great. The sauce was good, but it was too sweet for my liking. The rice and beans that came on a separate plate from the enchilada were good, but not anything special. The salsa that came with the chips was yummy. The ambiance was the first thing that caught my eye about wanting to come to this place. I had been wanting to go to the La Jolla location, but we were nearby this location and decided to go. It's nice that they are located near a parking lot.

    This place was so much better than I thought it'd be. Located in Fashion Island, I was expecting small portions and a hefty price tag - but instead, things were so much more reasonable than I thought. There's a valet in front, but you can opt to park yourself. Spots were easy to find. Happy hour is such a great deal here. We got a few apps and for their price points, expected them to be small. However, when they came out - they were big. In fact, most of us were almost full after just eating these apps... My favorite app was the duck taquitos - the server heavily recommended it so I tried it. The sauce underneath was perfect - lots of flavor and a kick of spice. After our table was ready, we ended the happy hour (the prices/menu for this are only available at the bar area and was not available for our table), we sat inside. Our server was friendly and upbeat. I ordered the steak and shrimp fajitas. My only complaint was that it took a while to serve so my steak started more medium (I ordered medium rare) and ended up being well done due to the sitting. Dessert though - those platters are NO JOKE! A HUGE serving of dessert came out and we all happily shared the dishes. I think every dessert was a hit except for the molten lava cake - the ice cream on that was slightly too odd tasting? Or just didn't go together very well and left the lava cake undesired. The decor inside is also really pretty - this place is worth a visit.
