Walking to and from Miyako, I always wanted to try Cafe Red Onion (and Madra's). Well, today was the day. After a lucky win from the Derby (yup, $200 big ones), my friend Sam and I came here to meet...

It had been ages since I last visited Red Onion, but I ended up there last Saturday with some friends for a quick dinner. I had a churrasco chimichurri and it was absolutely fantastic. To be fair, I...

The pineapple salsa is very unique and tasty (albeit dessert sweet). The entrees in general are too much on the heavy side for my tastes lots of cheese, creams, and just "heavy" in general. Even the...

Stick to their "Famous" dishes and go down the road to Lupe Tortilla if you're looking for standard fare like fajitas! I was craving them and ordered them instead of one of the fusion platters, and...

Very interesting, hard to classify, central and south american inspired food that you can't really get anywhere else in town. Some would probably call it Latin Fusion, but fusion has become a bit of a...

Cafe Red Onion was excellent! It's a little pricier than your typical Tex-Mex joint, but the Latin cuisine definitely made up for it. Their biggest selling point is the pineapple salsa, which I have...

Good for those who don't have an appetite, the food was expensive for its measley portion sizes. My girlfriend and I had to run to TCBY afterwards because we weren't close to being full.
