Super fresh and delicious tacos!! We got an order of Baja Fish Tacos and an order of Shrimp Tacos. The Baja Fish Tacos were so crispy, light, and airy. The fish was so fresh and the sauce on top was so good! The Shrimp also tasted really fresh and tasty. There is a lot of searing inside and outside. It's right next to the ocean so the ambiance is very relaxing. It felt like I was at a beach park.

Great food. Great options. Great staff. Best fish tacos. Yummy burgers. (No pups allowed though) :))

This is an unbeatable atmosphere on a pleasant summer day, especially if you have kids who can enjoy playing in the sandbox area. The picnic benches on grass, with umbrellas, ocean breeze, and reggae music creates a friendly, cheery and relaxed weekend vibe. I've been wanting to come here for years now and it was everything I'd hoped It'd be. There were lots of people but it's such a big space that it doesn't feel packed or crowded and we were able to find a shaded spot relatively easily. The order line was long but once we put our order in they get the food out quickly. We got 2 beach club sandwiches, 1 order of fish and chips, 1 chicken sandwich with teriyaki, an order of the Tri of sides and an order of tater tots. I had the beach club which hit the spot. I am a fan of the honey Dijon mustard they use and they put LOTS of avocado which is awesome. The bread is toasted perfectly. I had the sweet potato fries from the trio that comes with fries and onion rings as well. The sweet potato fries and cooked perfectly crunchy and soft inside and are sprinkled with sugar and salad to make them extra sweet and tasty. I finished them all My husband got the fish and chips which are made with red snapper and he said they were delicious and high quality. I really can't wait to come back here again. The salads or nachos looked really great so I have my eye on those for next time.

To be honest, I had low hopes going into Padaro Beach Grill. While the outside is cute with a seaside view, plenty of picnic tables, and a sand pit for kids, the inside was kinda barren and run down. It could definitely do with a fresh coat of paint and some additional decorations! It feels like a corporate-y box restaurant from the ordering area. Once we got our food, I completely changed my mind on this place. As unappealing as the restaurant looks, the food was amazing! The fish and chips was perfectly greasy and salty while still being flavorful and a great compliment to the sun filled day at the beach. The tartar sauce was acidic and creamy and they had malted vinegar for the fries.

Padaro Beach Grill is the perfect place to spend a warm and sunny day at! After spending some time at the bluffs we decided to try this place I had bookmarked a while back. Their menu consisted mostly of burgers, salads and some seafood. I ordered their fish tacos, although they were good I would have liked to have the tortillas be warmed up. On the other hand my husband ordered their shrimp and fries and that was very tasty! The shrimp were large, perfectly battered and crispy! Their kids meals included gummy candy's which my kids loved. In addition to the food I ordered a margarita, it was perfect. With the margarita at hand and the tropical vibes I felt like I was in Hawaii. The service was good. The way it works is you order your food and you are giving a pager. Once the food is ready your pager will vibrate and you go pick up your food. Will definitely be back soon!

Highly recommend for families with small children. You wait in line, order at the register inside, take a buzzer and sit, and get your food at the window when it's ready. FYI: Sometimes there is a separate line for the bathroom to the right of the food line along the wall (people seem to get mad at you for not knowing there's a line) which is indistinguishable from the food line. While there is no ocean view, the outside sitting area is spacious, well decorated, and relaxing. There is a huge sand pit with toys for kids to play with. It is a children's paradise. French fries were excellent! The Baja tacos were good. My shrimp tacos were ok. not much flavor. The salsa that is comes with is decent and I think homemade. Milkshakes were great as well.

When I lived nearby I used to come here often. But the short drive from Santa Bsrbara is worth it. My friend ordered the veggie burger. As you will see from the pictures it is massive! My friend said its the best veggie burger she's ever had. That is quite the compliment as she has very discriminating taste. She could barely hold it with two hands. I ordered the fish and chips. They were so large I could only eat one and saved the others for dinner. The breading didn't overpower the fish which ass perfectly cooked. My favorite was their housemade tartar sauce! The ambulance is usually very pleasant with outside tables and patio tables with heaters. Unfortunately, there was street construction but what else is new? We still enjoyed the fast service. My only problem was choosing what to order as I love the burgers here. Look at the menu and drool. You can order ahead if you want.
