Hello Redondo Beach! I was walking down the street on a hot summer day and i got thirsty. I am soo glad there was Rabano on the corner because i walked in and grabbed one if their signature pops this one was a pineapple strawberry mix. They also have iced coffees with macha. Not much seating it is very small but order to go you wont regret it!

Very delicious high quality food! The most juicy, tender, flavorful chicken I’ve ever had. The Peruvian Saltado was delicious; a perfect balance of flavor and texture. They offer tofu substitutions making it easy to make any meal vegetarian. In addition to the great food, all the employees are friendly and service is great. The food is made fresh and comes out quick. Will definitely be coming back and trying more of their menu.

In a nutshell, delicious food, good portions, great environment. The restaurant itself is small, but cozy and inviting. The decor is rustic and organic, which matches the wholesome food they serve. The food arrived at the table fairly quickly which was appreciated (we were hungry). I loved the variety of meals they serve, if you are craving something they have it. Their drinks are good. They have teas, coffees, and boba. My one little complain is that it’s a very small parking area designated for that specific restaurant, but people go in and out fairly often so you’ll most likely be fine.

Being going to Rabano for many years on a regular basis. The food is consistently good and fresh. My favorite dishes are the Street Steak Tacos, El Classico Steak Burro, Pork Belly Bahn Mi and El Koreano with Steak . I had other dishes and never been disappointed. The people working there are very nice and friendly.

At the recommendation of a friend went to Robano for their homemade sodas and a burger. Place to go order over the phone. When I got there had to have the soda remade. As I had asked for light ice and what they tried to give me was solid ice. Didn't care for the attitude of the cashier. I know it was close to closing, but they seemed very put out when I asked them to remake my drink. The burger was delicious, excellent quality. Not inexpensive, but then again nothing is these days. Love that most of the ingredients are locally sourced or organic.

My husband and I take out food from Rábano 4-5 times a week. We live a couple blocks away and couldn’t have been more thrilled when we first found this place a couple years ago. The food is all delicious, they have a ton of variety and options and it’s all on the healthy side. Always fresh and consistently good. The staff is always on it and super friendly. 10 out of 10. It is a blessing to have Rábano in our neighborhood and I hope it is here forever. There needs to be more places like this in the world.

Food is fresh and tastes good. Salad is a large portion. But please, i get sustainability but your forks suck. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy to have to eat your salad with the supplied fork.
