Reviews summary

Cadera is a lively Mexican restaurant steps from Ōhope Beach, known for warm, fast service and crowd-pleasing plates — tacos, burritos, ribs, jalapeño poppers and churros — plus affordable cocktails, mocktails and vegan/dairy-free options. Locals and visitors praise quick, friendly staff, walkable location and dog-friendly outdoor seating, making it ideal for casual dinners or takeaways. A few diners note inconsistent spice levels and weak, overpriced margaritas, but overall it’s a dependable, popular stop for beachside Mexican fare.

What Natalie Mannington dislikes about Cadera:

This place used to have a good vibe... Now the overpriced Margheritas with basically no tequila the tacos that have blind chicken and hardly a filling (not cheap)... Disappointed to say the least From a well traveled person who's been to Mexico for two months last year and used to go to Cadeira for the Margheritas.... Just not good enough View all feedback.

Service was absolutely amazing! the team had a friendly smile greeted us as we walked in, which created a warm atmosphere. however we got the 3 amigos which consisted of. salsa, melted cheese and guacamole served with corn chips. the guac and salsa tasted bland and didn't leave a good aftertaste. hopefully will try other items on the menu. but all in all great atmosphere. Service: Dine in

We came here whilst visiting family on Kings Birthday weekend. The food, service and atmosphere were spot on. Delicious food and yummy cocktails. I highly recommend the beef fajita special and red wine sangria. Very quick, friendly service too and highchair for our little one who approved of their ribs. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

We go to Cadera at least twice a year and I could not recommend it more. The jalapeno poppers and the ribs are to die for. Always great service and friendly staff. We ordered drinks starters and mains and finished everything within an hour, very pleased to see such great customer service EVERY time.

Absolutely love this restaurant.. their menu is varied.. their Fajita's are excellent, so tasty, and perfect for two people. Highly recommended, we'll continue to make the choice to drive over the hill to dine there. Thanks Cadera.

Had a great meal her just now, paella had lots of seafood in it and the fried chicken was nice with a tasty dip.

Whenever we are in Ohope we come here! Great place with exceptional food. Plus they are super fast If you are hungry after a day at the beach. All our food was top notch. But for some strange reason the fries stood out the beat to us all tonight!
