Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Mad Beach Cantina offers a delightful setting with "great views" of the marina, making it perfect for a relaxed dining experience. Patrons rave about the "excellent food" and "amazing BOGO margaritas." While service can vary, the attentive staff and the rooftop ambiance are highlights. Ideal for drinks with friends.

    My fiancé and I started coming here about two years ago and it was really great! Plus the Bogo margaritas were amazing! The chef that they had was really good. I’m not sure if they changed chefs or what because we used to go all the time, and we took a break for a while, and came back for the first time last night, and the food was definitely not up to par as it was before the margaritas were also very sugary. It tasted more like Kool-Aid than a margarita. Our waitress was really nice and very attentive. The food And drinks were just not what they used to be.

    Got a table right away. Our server waited on a table that was sat after us before us. The food was great! Service could have been quicker and better!

    If you're chasing vibes, this place delivers. Nestled above a marina with sweeping views of the inlet, the rooftop setup is hard to beat. The ambiance leans casual and breezy—perfect for an unhurried dinner where the company (and the cocktails) are the main event. That said, the food didn’t exactly rise to the occasion. I went in optimistic, fajita sizzler platter in front of me, daughter had the Birria tacos—and we both walked away feeling… whelmed. Not overwhelmed. Not underwhelmed. Just sort of “that was fine.” The flavors were serviceable but forgettable, lacking the boldness or depth you’d hope for from Mexican dishes. In short: Come for the atmosphere, stay for the drinks, and lower your expectations for the menu. It’s a great place to hang, but if you’re a foodie, your taste buds might feel a little let down.
