Back on the Beach Cafe

Back On The Beach Cafe - Review - Santa Monica - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Back On The Beach is near and dear to us for one reason. It's the only place in LA where you can eat a proper meal that didn’t come out of the freezer while your bare feet submerge in the hot sand. OK fine, there is the cafe at Paradise Cove, but that’s a whole Malibu to-do. Back On The Beach is Santa Monica easy breezy. Pull off PCH and park in the Annenberg lot, or better yet, walk or bike in from the beach path, put your name down, and you'll be seated in no time. The menu hasn’t changed much since it opened in 1989, and that’s why we like it. Sometimes you just need mediocre fish tacos, a very spinach-y breakfast quesadilla, or a cranberry-mayo turkey wrap that inexplicably hits the spot. This place has sweet potato fries, booster seats, a full bar, and rabidly loyal customers who have been getting sunburnt while eating the same bland spring mix for decades and decades. We hope this place never changes. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Arden Shore
