RED O Taste of Mexico, the acclaimed upscale Mexican restaurant known for its bold flavors and vibrant atmosphere, will open its fourth location at The Promenade at Westlake on August 18, with limited hours and reservations. Merging elevated cuisine, immersive design, and warm hospitality, RED O offers more than a meal—it delivers an experience.

Designed by internationally renowned designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the space channels the relaxed sophistication of a bohemian beach town, using caba cloth, woven rattan, rope-wrapped elements, and antique Oaxacan textiles to create a setting that’s both exotic and inviting. Guests enter through a dramatic tequila tunnel lined with glowing bottles, emerging into a space that features a rope-wrapped bar, lush greenery by The Living Canvas, a custom lantern-lit plaster tree, original Mexican artwork, and a bespoke boho mural.

The kitchen, helmed by Corporate Executive Chef Armando Martinez and Executive Chef John Pigott, takes the same elevated approach. The menu starts with Oaxacan-style cooking, and brings in flavors and techniques from all over Mexico.

Signature dishes include:

• Surf & Turf Tablita – 32oz tomahawk steak, 1 lb lobster tail, house guacamole, red rice, beans, and fresh-pressed tortillas

• Branzino Zarandeado – Whole grilled branzino with chile-citrus soy butter and heirloom tomato

• The Cocorita – A tropical margarita served in a fresh young coconut

• Alacrán Margarita – Featuring housemade serrano chile agave

Beyond the plate, RED O Westlake Village will feature lunch, dinner, happy hour, Taco Tuesdays, and weekend brunch, all delivered with the brand’s signature hospitality and elegance. Guests can look forward to live music, exclusive pop-up dinners, seasonal specials, and a rotating calendar of curated events that cater to modern diners' craving for experience as much as flavor.

Details for the official Grand Opening celebration will be announced in the coming weeks. Learn more at www.redorestaurant.com.
