    It has beautiful views of the Gulf and intercostal depending where you sit. Food was really good and they have BOGO on margaritas. It is on the second floor so it has stairs but also has an elevator. The staff was friendly and quickly got the food out. I marked it as a 4 because our server wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer - he got us drinks and we already knew what we wanted to order but he said he needed to come back because he was getting someone’s food. He didn’t come back. Totally forget we were there and we were his table. Tried to take my plate which had 1/2 the meal on it. No offer of to go box until I asked. Then he couldn’t remember what we ordered to add a dessert. Maybe it was an off day. We would still go back.

    Sorry but this is NOT authentic Mexican. It was fine, but not what we expected based upon the info stated. We were bummed we picked here instead of another recommendation.

    Patrick was a fabulous waiter. The view on the marina side was equally fabulous. Very satisfied with experience

    Drinks were good and the food was delicious. I would have hope for more choices but overall a nice little hidden gem on the beach.

    The host and staff were very nice and attentive. Being from Texas, my family and I are hard to please when it comes to authentic Mexican food; so we weren’t impressed; however, I did make the comment to my sister that this would probably be a fun place to sit and have margaritas with chips and salsa/queso on a pretty day.

    We visited Mad Beach Cantina for the first time last year and have been looking forward to returning ever since. We love the food, the staff are very friendly and the service is always good. Would definitely recommend and we will probably eat there again before the end of our vacation.
