Permanently closed

Mexican Restaurant $$ 4.0 (2025)


Banditos Cantina offers a vibrant atmosphere with stunning ocean views, though some customers noted the food is more Tex-Mex than authentic Mexican cuisine. The service is generally praised, and many appreciate the outdoor seating options. While the dishes are tasty, there are comments about the lack of traditional authenticity in some items, leading to a somewhat mixed perception of the restaurant's culinary identity.

" I was really excited to try Banditos but it didn't quite live up to the hype. The views are stunning, but the food felt a bit off. I ordered the fish tacos, and while the fish was fresh, the seasoning was lacking. The chips were also on the stale side. Our server was great, so I feel that we might give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited on a Thursday and expected it to be less crowded. The decor was quirky which made it interesting. The chips were good but charged separately. My burrito was decent but I thought it could have more flavor. Service was fine, with staff being polite. I'd say just visit for the location and ambiance! " (*Curated Review*)

" Banditos Cantina has a really fun vibe. Seating both inside and out, we chose to sit on the patio for the best views. We loved the tacos and the burritos, but I felt they could do better on the authenticity front. The staff was friendly and paired perfectly with the experience. I would consider coming back, especially with friends who appreciate good views and cocktails. " (*Curated Review*)

" Banditos Cantina has been a favorite of mine since my first visit! The atmosphere is lively, and the beach views are unbeatable. I couldn’t get enough of their house margaritas and the tacos didn’t disappoint either. Even though I might have expected a bit more authenticity, I'd definitely recommend this place for friends looking to unwind by the beach! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Banditos was a fantastic experience overall! The cocktails were inventive, and my table ordered a variety of dishes. The tacos were the standout item! The only downside was the wait. It took too long for our food to arrive, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. Once it was there, we were pleased with the flavors. I would certainly return for the happy hour promotions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, this restaurant is amazing! The ambiance is on point and makes for great family gatherings. I ordered the Bandito margarita; it was super refreshing. My entrees were filling, but I felt the flavors could be enhanced. The view from the patio is sheer beauty. I plan to visit again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stopped by Banditos for dinner and enjoyed every minute. The view of the ocean was simply stunning at sunset! I loved their guacamole with chips but wished the portions were bigger. The service was attentive and made us feel welcomed. Overall, a great place to visit for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)
