Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:43:20 GMT

It’s a great time of year to visit Redondo Beach.  The air is cool and crisp, the crowds are down, you can see Catalina and the culinary scene is smoking. Here are three great reasons to make a trip to the South Bay any time.The new Cal Mex Cantina on the Redondo Beach Pier is a vibrant gastropub helmed by executive chef Samanta DeLeon, with expansive floor-to-ceiling ocean views and an outdoor patio in 3,600 square feet. The first-generation Mexican American chef previously at Las Brisas in Laguna Beach puts her own spin on classics like a birria grilled cheese on sourdough with broth for dipping and tinga flautas with chipotle chicken and a gruyère cheese blend. Standouts include the fire-roasted fresh chile relleno burrito that comes with either chicken or beef, but I’d get it with the oyster mushroom adobado.
