This is exactly the type of neighborhood/dive/chill bar that I love. Staff is friendly and hustles, the beer/food is priced just right, and the vibes are always just casual. They are known for their micheladas, so be sure to grab one when you come here!!

I use to come in here now and then back in the day, and have recently been back a lot. The bartenders are always super cool and efficient. My buds and I especially like the bartender Greg Tharpe, he always does a fantastic job! The beer and their famous Michelada's are made well. Had food here for the first time the other night and the double cheeseburger was hearty and fantastic. Inside is super mellow with a great vibe and occasionally karaoke. Thanks for always being great!

I will say that food and service is always good whenever I come. However I do feel like it's pretty expensive for what you get. I got the asada nachos and it was almost $20. The beer I got today tasted a bit flat. I didn't get a michelada this time but they are known for that and they are very good. Overall I enjoy going here and enjoy their food.

I've been coming here over a decade. So many great memories of their Micheladas and food. The pico de gallo still tastes amazing! Just like I remember it. Came on a Thursday and we scored the $1 hard shell tacos! I can't believe they brought those back! Unfortunately... everything was so expensive:( $3 - 3 hard-shelled tacos $9 for a michelada - it was the smallest cup, maybe a pint. Still good lol $12.99 for the chile verde burrito. It wasnt stuffed like it used to be and filled with rice and beans. The chile verde was shredded. Bf said he prefers robertitos more. Wow. They serve tamales now. 3.99. Masa was dry once the tamale cooled off. This is the saddest part: 18.50$ French fries nachos (vegetarian). 5 years ago they were 10.50$. That's such a big price jump. Portion is smaller too. Sis n bf told me, "you could have made that at home." Sigh. Skip the red salsa. It's got a kick but no flavor. Everything we ordered, they gave us 2 containers of pico and 3 containers of red salsa. 5 total salsa. I asked for me and told them you can charge me for it. They never brought any. No lemons either. Everything cost me about 61$ and i tipped $8. That's a lot. I have always raved about Red Wave to so many many people. Now I'll probably only return for some cheap hard shell tacos and that pico on Thursday if I'm near... but honestly i hardly get out now. It was such a disheartening last visit to a place I've always held dear to my heart. Ima stay home now. lol.

Best chili verda burrito in town. I like to get mine to go most of the time but if I do eat in I always have to have a michelada.

Bartender was very nice. Got our red beers pretty fast but we did ask for extra lemon and didn't get any. Restrooms were super clean!! That's always a plus!

It was pretty empty when I went in, but I was greeted by Andre and it turned out really great! He was easy to talk to and happy to give recommendations! Really appreciated! I started with Pinot Noir and I was really happy they had it. The wine came in a bottle and it was really fantastic! Smooth! The triple meat tacos were recommended along with their ceviche. They do ceviche on Fridays. I ended up going with their 3 meat tacos plate. They make their food really clean and take the healthy way in all they make. The bar is really nice with great music playing. Just a very chill atmosphere! =) Plus, very clean and safe! Especially in these times! The wine was really really fantastic! Loved! My plate had Chicken, carne asada and chili verde tacos with rice and beans. My order came shortly later. It's a family business and they have owned it for a really long time. The sister of Andre brought my order shortly later and she was really nice and even offered hot sauces. I told her yes please! Hotter the better! She brought 3 for me to try! The chicken was recommended by Andre to try first! I put hot sauce on it and tried It. Wow! Absolutely delicious and the hot sauce made it even better! Wowza! Really impressed with this place and I was told If I needed anything to just let them know. It gets better! The beans and rice were really fresh and tasty! The carne Asada taco had so much flavor! Sane with the other one. More deliciousness! The salsas were really great too! Very tasty! FANTASTIC, delicious LUNCH! Great, exceptional service too! They make you feel like family! Highly recommended! Deserve every star! =)
