“Such an interesting place with a unique vibe! Reality exceeded all expectations. The only funny part was trying to find the women's restroom - even with my glasses on, I felt like Harry Potter searching for the Chamber of Secrets Now, the most important - the food: was absolutely amazing! Everything was perfectly balanced. We ordered several dishes for four people and left feeling very full, while the prices were surprisingly reasonable. We had the Combination Fajitas for Two, Enchilada, Taco and Tamale, and salads - everything was delicious. The sauces were incredible too! And the churros with ice cream for dessert completely stole our hearts On top of that, the atmosphere, service, and overall feeling of the place were all outstanding. Overall, it was an incredibly delicious and memorable dining experience!”
“Nice atmosphere. I've never been to the original Red Onion. The sirloin salad was awesome. From a culinary standpoint, if the salad were chopped more, the flavors would blend better. IMHO”
“A Hidden Gem Worth Finding: The Red Onion Restaurant in Rolling Hills As a self-professed reservation skeptic, I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at The Red Onion for our 6:45 booking. True to their word, within 30 seconds of checking in, we were comfortably seated in a cozy booth ready to explore their menu. The restaurant's warm, homey ambience immediately explained why so many local families make this their regular dining spot. The Red Onion has clearly built a loyal following through years of consistent quality and service, a testament to their enduring legacy in Rolling Hills. Their menu offers an impressive array of options, but the fajita combos are truly exceptional. The beef was remarkably tender and the chicken was perfectly seasoned, all served with traditional accompaniments that complemented the main stars beautifully. Each bite delivered authentic flavors that transported us straight to Mexico. I must also mention the soup, absolutely heavenly! Rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care, it set the perfect tone for what turned out to be an outstanding meal. The portions were so generous that we couldn't finish everything, which meant we got to enjoy The Red Onion's delicious offerings again the next day. Sometimes leftovers are the best surprise gift from a restaurant experience! It's no mystery why The Red Onion has become a neighborhood favorite. Between the efficient service, family-friendly atmosphere, and exceptional food, they've created the perfect formula for dining success. If you're in Rolling Hills and looking for a reliable, delicious meal that will please everyone in your group, The Red Onion deserves a spot at the top of your list. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“A great old school neighborhood Mexican place with a lot of character. I had the chicken mole and did not expect a half chicken! It was delicious, the mole sauce coated everything just right. We also got the burrito combo and the size, a flavor, was impressive. Service was friendly; drinks were good and prices are more than fair.”
“It is very nicely decorated Mexican restaurant with many booths and tables and sports bar. I just tried their fish tacos and their tomato based soup. Both were definitely good. Tacos were quite large and filling. It was like half a burrito in weight. The salsa served with corn chips are very good as well. Slightly spicy. Parking is available on the street and in the rear.”
