Restaurants near Redondo Beach Pier

I love this El Torito on The Pier in Redondo Beach. The view of the ocean and beach is beautiful and the food and service are great. We had the fajita duo with beef and chicken and the carnitas street tacos. All delicious!

I've been meaning to come to this restaurant since it opened a couple of decades ago. The big surprise was the view. Where you expect to be looking out to open water you instead look across a large concrete expanse of the horseshoe pier. There are water views of the inside area of that pier. The other surprise is how large the restaurant is. There was a birthday party of 20 when we were there and the place didn't seem full at all. Service was relaxed, friendly and attentive. The prices are average for high end seafood and steaks. They do have a $49 prix fixe that one of our group ordered and very much liked. Both the clam chowder and lobster bisque were superb, as was the salmon. And excellent complimentary hot bread, a rarity these days. As we were celebrating two birthdays, 2 complimentary creme brulees showed up at the end. All in all, a very pleasant experience.

Great food and great service. Good sunset view. Will definitely be back.

Wonderful experience on the water. We came for brunch but a live band came around 3pm. We had pancakes, the croissant and the 3 little pigs. Everything was tasty. Waiter was kind and efficient. We will be back!

Nice ambiance, chill/hangout with good drinks and delicious fries 🍟
