Red Fish Taco

We had a large crowd, 3 separate orders placed at the register. The table runners delivered everything per order to the tables with one exception. I ordered the beef and chicken fajitas, which was shown on a chalk board at the bar. This was the most expensive item on the menu. The table runner asked if there was anything else? I said yes, my fajitas order. The table runner replied, its still on the grill. I waited. All our guests were about done. I went to the register to inquire, first two said they could not help me, the manager would have to check on my order. Manager listened to me, looked up my order, went back to the kitchen, returned, and told me it would be ready in 5 minutes. I asked that they cancel my portion of our ticket (ticket was still open). Manager agreed to cancel my portion of the ticket and I was asked to sign. Manager offered me the meal. By now all our guests had finished their dinner. Manager offered to pack it up to go, I said "ok". The bagged food arrived about 10 minutes later, brought to me by the manager, including 2 cookies. I had forgotten to tip when I signed the closed out ticket, so I gave a cash tip to the manager with my apologies. I'm assuming the error was made in the kitchen. The two ladies at the register were little or no help. The manager did her best to rectify this mess in quick order! All our guests enjoyed their meal. I my give this place another try on a future trip to Blue Mountain Beach, time will tell....

Delicious food worth the trip! My wife and I got chips and queso and redfish tacos and brisket tacos. And it’s not a knock to brisket in any means but it says a lot that I preferred the redfish tacos they were very flavorful and everything came together wonderfully!

We have been coming to Blue Mountain Neach for a couple of years and now that our kids are older, we've been exploring more places to eat. Red Fish Taco Bar came up and it did not disappoint! We arrived early to make sure we had good seats for the live music on Saturday night. Plenty of space to enjoy the band, excellent food, and wonderful, friendly service. We will be back!!

The Ordering is easy at the counter! There is an awesome and affordable selection of appetizers, entrees, Ala carte, and kids menu! Not to mention the drinks and cocktails are delicious 🍹I had the pineapple margarita, on the rocks, and it’s the best! Beer is frosty cold! The seafood queso is delicious, and the chips are light & have a nice seasoning to them! Highly recommend dining and relaxing here!

Ever since the new ownership took over and made changes, Red Fish Taco has been terrible. It was one of our favorite places when it was under the old ownership. The food is not good. The cheese on the nachos tastes like it came out of a can. The taco selection is mininal and simple. It doesn't taste that good when you do get it. It's also absolutely ridiculous that you cns only get the "monthly" taco during happy hour. That's not a monthly taco, that's called a happy hour special. The drinks are different too. The old frozen Key Lime dink was absolutely delicious. The new one is a mix of margarita and Pina colada, no key lime yet they still try to call it key lime. It's not good and isn't even mixed. It's just a margarita layered with a Pina colada. Wehave been extremely disappointed since the new owners have taken over and will not be back. Only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because the staff is friendly. We had no issues with the service itself, just the quality of the food.

This was our first time visiting, but will not be the last! We definitely ordered too much for 2 people. Took home enough for another meal! Food was perfectly seasoned 😍

We had a pleasant experience here at red fish taco, it was our first time dinning and the staff was extremely friendly and happy! The menu had many options and the food was delicious. They also offer outdoor seating and is just a walk from the beach. 10/10 recommended

Q. What did the redfish say to the oyster? A. Stop being so shell-fish! I like Redfish The food is great like the Baja Bowl Live music almost every night And it’s a good place to watch sports too

Redfish taco is tucked into redfish village and is such a lively spot. Family friendly restaurant with ample seating indoor and outdoor. You order at the counter, making it a casual environment. Love that they also sometimes have bands play at dinner time. Lots of TVs inside too for sports events. We enjoyed the happy hour nachos which came out quickly. We can't wait to come back soon!

Brisket tacos completely lack any flavor. Cabbage, meat, barely any sauce, and a dry tortilla. On the flip side, some of the best dip with the cilantro salsa that I've ever had. That was scrumptious. I could drink that. The rice bowl was mushy and unexciting.

This is a genuine shame. Red Fish Taco was a staple of my family and I for many many years. Having fantastic food, great service and a homey, welcoming atmosphere. The Dawson Group has RUINED my favorite restaurant on 30A. Not only has the food quality DRASTICALLY decreased, but the ENTIRE MENU has nearly doubled in price. I used to be able to get a brisket quesadilla a side of street corn AND a drink for $20 or less. Now, a quesadilla ALONE is $14, adding brisket is $7 MORE and a simple sweet tea is $3. Not to mention the street corn is no longer street corn. It's now comes in a bowl filled with taco seasoning claiming it's "Elote". The "Elote" (on the menu it claims to be "corn cut off the Cobb") is now canned corn with taco seasoning, butter and tomato's. Dawson Group, you should be ASHAMED of yourselves. Taking a PERFECT business and changing everything about it when nothing was wrong in the first place. Renovating a place, then jacking up the prices to pay for it is not the way to run a business. No one asked for this. No one. I'm extremely disappointed in this "new management" and I will NOT be returning.

Honestly, it's ok. Not bad for a quick bite and the music is nice. Used to be one of my favorite places as a local, however, if they still had the old menu, I would be giving this 10 stars out of 5... it's a shame they changed the menu.

We had a great experience at Red Fish Taco. The food came out really fast and was warm. Very easy with children.

Best chicken quesadilla ever!!! Basic order but wow. I thoroughly enjoyed the quesadilla. Also ordered the brisket tacos and shrimp taco salad. Went back twice in a span of 3 days. Also they have mezcal! Really enjoyed the spicy mezcal margarita

Food was great! I got the red fish taco with no cabbage and my wife got the grilled chicken quesadilla. We were impressed with the quality of the food and restaurant ambiance. We came in mid November and there was plenty of seating and the service was quick. There was a loud party at the bar but nothing out of the ordinary. Will be coming back here when we visit 30A.

I've had their fish tacos previously. The fish was . We returned and ordered the tacos and they were horrible. Two tortillas with a smidgeon of fish and sauce- no cabbage - no nothing. The recent renovations looked great but avoid the $18 fish tacos. They were so good on previous visits. I was embarrassed to bring my house guests there.

Had a great meal with the family at Red Fish! We ordered at the counter, and opted to eat indoors where our group found a large table where we could sit together. There was seating outdoors with patio heaters but it was pretty busy due to the live music that night. Our food was brought out quickly and it was piping hot. You could grab your own silverware, napkins and condiments (the green sauce is my fave!!) and take out containers too at a self service station. Our dishes were cleared quickly when we were finished - the staff were very attentive and efficient. The smoked brisket tacos were fantastic, the grouper tacos were great, the birria tacos were excellent - everyone was happy with the portions and great flavors. We shared a tres dippers and it was a generous portion of salsa, guac and queso with chips (still warm) - so good! Highly recommend Red Fish Tacos for a casual night out.

All I have to say is THANK GOD for the Dawson group breathing new life into this restaurant and menus. The food was below average prior to the management change and the inside felt like a hollister store in the mall in 2007 with how dark it was. BUT NOW The food quality has drastically improved and they have kept the live music that the locals love. My husband and I go here multiple times a month and always bring friends or family when they are in town. If you're a local or here on vacay do yourself a favor and come to redfish for the best fajitas and great drinks!

We're back, and we're at the beach! #GoodVibesAndTanLines This was my favorite meal at Red Fish yet. Love me a fried shrimp and a creamy sauce #awoooOOOGAA Great ambiance after the new reno inside, I see you Red Fish!! Service was good except when they told me they don't have fried fish.... Girl I know you lying!!! They thought they had me - but one thing about me is I'm gonna sniff out fried shrimp like a cartoon character floating towards a yummy scent from a windowsill. It be calling out to me! Trust, I'll be back.

Delicious fish tacos. Excellent live music. (Shout out to Casey Kearny). Considering how busy the service was pretty quick. Also fun and yummy cocktails, but my favorite part was definitely the roasted salsa. I could drink that stuff!

Great location to Blue Mountain Beach.. Easy walk. Wait staff at counter was friendly. More like a fast food restaurant with dining room prices. Need to order a take out in person. Busy nights they do not answer the phone.

Change has come to red fish taco- new electronic billboard and the hole in the wall has been updated the last couple months- not sure it's an improvement. They took their signature item street tacos off the menu and took away their awesome salsas. Same friendly location with service oriented folks. Change comes at a price- yeah, they got a bit higher too.

The new and improved is really new and improved! We sat at the bar, Christina was great! (understatement) The food has been elevated! Fajitas OMG!!!!!!!!! I also had the frozen sangria, and I can honestly say I have found none better in the area.

Excellent food and great service. Smoked links are a great extra. They've redone the inside too so very nice.

Every year we come to the area for the week and this is our first time actually dining here. I'm mad at myself for not going all the times before. They do get crowded but where we stay at, we can walk here. Please order the chips n salsa the chips are perfectly seasoned, Salsa is kinda chunky and flavorful and with just a hint of spice....very good. The shrimp tacos 10/10, shrimp very plump and a nice size. We will continue to go back soth our yearly visits to the area

We had a fantastic time at Red Fish Taco. The brisket quesadillas were perhaps the best quesadillas ever. 10/10 no question. We literally ordered a second serving after eating our whole meals because it was so good. Prices were excellent and service quick. The live music was mid-tier. Only improvement would be more guac on the quesadillas!

This place was a huge disappointment. The kid's meal is a single taco for $12 - the chicken is veryyy spicy for a child item. The fries were a soggy wedge fry. Worst kids meal I've seen in a long time. The rest of the food we ordered was "meh" at best. Certainly not worth $100 for four people - no one left full or happy. Hate this experience because we genuinely enjoyed this place last year when we came. There are way too many good restaurants nearby to waste money here.

Come here every year in vacay and enjoy it. This year they have remodeled and made the place somewhat nicer. Good food and service. Live music and very casual.

Amazing food and live music! The portions were very filling and our whole group was extremely satisfied. We got the street corn, grouper taco salad, brisket quesadilla, and grouper tacos. The food came fast and the drinks came before we even left the ordering station.

Fun place! Seat yourself, order at the bar. They have live music that is a blast! Food is great. I ordered firecracker shrimp salad- it had a ton of shrimp, flavorful, and HUGE salad. I also got the top shelf marg and it was good. I'm picky about my margs and don't like them sweet. This was pretty good. Easy place to walk to if you're in the area. I'd go back.

Pretty good tacos and service was cafeteria style. Fun vine with live music. Great location. The food didn't blow us away - just average.

First time back since new owner. Don't understand why they redid the place or changed the food it was good how it was. Bummer. Will probably not be back.

This place will never be the same because of the new ownership. We used to eat here every time we visited the area multiple times a year and it was always delicious. This has been a staple for when we first get down here. My fish taco barely had any fish and was on a corn tortilla, which if you like those then it might not be bad to you but I was used to it being served on flour. They have completely gutted the whole menu that used to be there and decided to play around with their recipes and have no regard to the old menu at all. It is fine if you want to incorporate your recipes but do those in addition to the current menu. The old term if it is not broke then do not fix it is completely accurate especially now. The white queso has been replaced with yellow queso which is very onion forward and honestly not very good. My wife has always chosen the chicken carnitas tacos and loves them however those have been changed drastically. This review is so sad to post. We truly did love this place. We always recommended it to all of our friends and family however sadly I would never recommend this place to anyone else and we won't be back.

The food was not that good I got to eat goat cheese l quesadillas and it was not good the texture and the lingering flavor of the goat cheese was not good I forced myself to eat it I usually like goat cheese but this was not it and then my drink was 4 dollars that's crazy. It was ok tho.fast service. And might I add the chips salsa and queso were phenomenal!

Good food, great vibe! We had the red fish taco salad and chips and salsa. The frozen margaritas were so good!

The food is quite good, and I am fond of their chicken thigh salad. Live music most nights too! River Dan is great!

Sat at the bar and got drinks (daiquiri and spicy margarita). Service was fast and the restaurant wasn't too crowded at 6 on a Thursday. Prices were a little high for a frozen drink (that tasted just ok), but pretty on par for other touristy places.

Dawson Group destroys yet another local spot. You took something that was loved by so many and turned it into a tourist dump. Horrible overpriced food and the interior has all the charm of a hospital waiting room. All the positive reviews are from before it was bought out. Also don't count on the advertised nightly live music

I love redfish taco the food is excellent no matter really what you order. The drinks are great, but on crowded nights to bartenders are sometimes hard to get your attention so you gotta be patient. Everybody's working hard to do a good job for you. They have a great live music. It's a family friendly spot. I've been there about a half dozen times and go about once a month. Don't hesitate stop in. food is great drinks and staff very cool spot.

Beach front prices but the food was tasty Ordered the Shrimp queso and chips ... 3 star ... queso was runny blackened grouper soft tacos ... 4.5 stars Blackened shrimp salad ... 4.5 stars Frozen margarita was good ... 4.0 stars Overall - solid 4 star

The food and prices are average for the area. Nothing special to be honest. It was a must-do prior to the menu change. They used to have the best fish tacos anywhere in the area (absolutely stuffed with redfish) and an awesome skillet of white queso filled with shrimp that were very, very reasonably priced. Not cheap (you're at a beach restaurant of course) but absolutely worth every penny. Also, flour tortillas used to be the standard and now they use corn (maybe you can order flour, not sure). We "discovered" this place only 2 years ago and it became our go-to restaurant for at least 3 meals per week. Sorry to say I don't expect us to go back.

So sad Totally ruined one of our favorite spots to dine and listen to local musicians! The new decor is just "Why?" Why? Why Did you change it?? More seating? Don't think so? It's not chill and beach vibey anymore. It's generic food court looking. Gonna miss my chicken thigh taco salad!! And the prices..... Yikes! 2 standard ground beef tacos, $14!! No sides.. nothing! Good Luck! You may get some new patrons that don't know any better, but as a local, We'll definitely not be back.

Best fish tacos and guacamole ever!!! Great service very accommodating and the music and seating is awesome!

Ate lunch here before taking off for the airport. Great flavors. GREAT salsa. Great amount of fish in the tacos, and a great Ranch Water! Super pleased. Lots of TVs for football and a great ambiance.

Excellent food and great live music! Shrimp quesadilla is outstanding and the atmosphere is great.

5 stars for alcoholic slushies, 3.5 stars for food. We went here three times. We found the alcoholic slushies to be strong and delicious, particularly the mezcal based. $16 but worth it. Probably not good to order if you are driving. Location is nice - a welcome burst of air conditioning on a hot summer day. TVs with sports. We found the food decent. Across the visits we have various appetizers and tacos. The queso and salsa are both good. Price point for food was a little high but in line with the area. No complaints on the food but nothing wowed us. We didn't love the service situation / ordering at counter / lack of physical menus. A personal preference but made it harder to organize our group and it's pretty dark at the counter looking at the menus. Wait on the longer side even when it wasn't busy. The last time we returned for the slushies alone. This is the way.

So sad. Feels like we lost a friend. We used to eat here often and enjoy the live music. RFT felt like a secret gem. We heard there was a change in ownership and decided to check it out. New look, different menu and very slow service. Short summary- won't be back.

The food was delicious, the music was entertaining, service was excellent but the Key Lime pie was YUM!

I'm here for the music scene. It's been fantastic bands every visit. Easy to order at the counter for food and drink. Tacos and quesadillas have been good. Enjoyed the top shelf marg. Music, tacos and margs - they got it all! And it's dog friendly.

Honestly, I went to Red Fish Taco expecting the best and that's what i received. The service was great and the bussers were amazing. I've never had such caring and attentive people take care of me and my family. Red Fish Taco has some amazing workers.

What can I say! They ruined a good thing. Our favorite local watering hole & quick bites has turned into a a 5 Guys. We used to go at least 2x/month. We would have been back sooner but I kept waiting for the daily specials to come back. Didn't happen so we took a chance. I had heard it wasn't what it used to be but I didn't think it could change beyond recognition. The decor is truly a 5 guys vibe. The bar tender told me he's heard that all the time. I can get past decor - cannot get past the food. The salsa was colored water. I actually told them this was the worst salsa I'd ever had. I didn't know what it was. So I asked for queso instead - tasted like the can. Needless to say we had our one drink & chips & left. Didn't get to try out our favorites. Black beans, elote, firecracker shrimp, chicken tacos, jerk chicken & tamales - probably won't. It is such a shame - it was the place that we brought all of our visitors for a fun night of drinks, food & music. I am sure the math adds for the owner - not for me. Good luck. Got a 2star because the stink juice was the same.

RUN!! Don't walk! We travel to 30A a lot and this place is our go-to. We usually go almost everyday haha. They have the best frozen to-go drinks & amazing food!! The salads, cheese dip, tacos... everything is so so good. They also do takeout & you can order online which most places won't do during busy season which is a nice plus for people with young children like us. We are actually moving to Dune Allen Beach this summer & talk about how we can't wait for this place to be our weekly go-to place! There are no other words than it's SO good!

Wow! Have lived down here since 2012. Food is much improved. Had the new fajitas today and they were the best i have ever had. And I am from Texas! They also have home made flour tortillas now! I don't know of another place in the area that does this. Well done!

We were excited to try this place but nearly immediately turned off from it when we arrived. There was a line of 20 people deep ordering from one person at a register. I had taken a photo of the menu and knew what we wanted but the wait was so long. So much staff! Why not more people taking orders? It took a long time to place the order but not very long to get the food, I forgot to order one thing and there was NO WAY I was getting back in line to order the key lime pie that I forgot. Catfish tacos were blah and falling apart, queso was lukewarm and had noooooo flavor to speak of and the chips were stale. My quesadilla with shredded chicken was pretty good though, and they were nice enough to give me a few pieces of cabbage on the side. We wouldn't return or recommend this place for Mexican food but people likely come here since there are few options of good Mexican food in the area. We didn't do drinks this night but maybe they are good. They don't allow bar seating, I asked. Lots of TVs for sports which is cool. Overall the set up of it all could totally improve, food could improve. They likely aren't storing their chips air tight since they were stale. Not even sure who you'd tell about it since the one person taking orders is slammed and has bigger issues taking care of all those people.

Wow what a waste of money! We ordered two taco plates...Cold corn tortilla tacos with grilled fish and cold corn tortilla tacos with brisket! Barely nothing was in the tacos, no sides included, the most basic ever! And the sauces were salty and not homemade tasting at all. All for a whopping $32, but the quality of a fast food joint all on paper utensils. We will not be back!

Nice atmosphere. Paid for food at exactly 6:48 pm on a Tuesday. A total of 6 tacos, 2 bowls and chips with queso. Received the food at exactly 7:28 pm. 40 minutes for fancy Taco Bell. They were not busy. We sat outside and there were multiple empty tables. The inside was not busy either. The food was ok to good. Perhaps I'm being too harsh, but it shouldn't take 40 minutes for what is essentially fast food, on a Tuesday, in April.

Wife and I got the blackened shrimp tacos and they were the best dinner meal we had while on vacation!! We will definitely be back!
