Red O Santa Monica

The force behind Mexican gourmet powerhouse Red O, chef Rick Bayless, opens his kitchen to signature ceviche samplers, short rib sopes, duck taquitos and more in Santa Monica. Nestled right along Ocean Avenue, Angelenos can score high-end steak and seafood just steps away from the Pacific and iconic Santa Monica Pier. This beach city may be known for their bevy of happy hour spots, but if you’re dining at a place like Red O, you can't shy away from a zesty margarita.
