Mexican Restaurants near Ladera Ranch

“BEST brunch in town! The employees are so friendly. The cocktails are delish! It’s our favorite weekend tradition.“

“Excellent service and excellent prices - can't remember the last time I paid less than $9 for a full lunch. And it wasn't even Taco Tuesday. Also the server remembered my name even after I left 90 min later. They even threw in some free tortilla chips After I have been sitting for a while working. So fantastic all around. Thanks!“

“Taco Tuesday delivered.Got like 6 tacos and 4 taquitos for under $20. Each one was $1.75.The onions, cilantro, carnitas, pastor, and chicken all tasted perfect. Service was good too.Only thing this place needs is updates to the interior, maybe some fresh paint and some new decor and it’d really shine. But I came for cheap yummy tacos for taco Tuesday and they delivered.“

“Very well managed and great food.“

“Nice experience here at Chuponcito in Aliso Viejo, Ca. Party of two on a Sunday around 10:30 am. Wait was about 10 minutes as we waited in line to order our food.

It was starting to get crowded. Limited parking lot spaces, limited inside seating. Inside and outside seating available.

Clean restaurant, enjoyable background music, and friendly staff.

I did love their Banana Latte, it was sweet enough to not be too sweet. The food was good. My wife loved their sopes. I just had an omelette.

My omelette was good, just not filling. A bit disappointed there, but maybe I just eat too much!

Try it out if you are around the area!“

“excellent food atmophere and service!“

“Came for lunch with my gran about a month after my grandfather passed. It was my gran's first outing since the funeral and i was worried but our server was this adorable silver haired woman named Rebecca. She had my Gran laughing the whole time. We ordered combos and the suggested jalapeño watermelon margaritas, which were spicy and refreshing. We needed a nap afterwards because we were too stuffed! My gran won't stop asking when we can go back. Thank you South of Nicks for lovely meal, and Thank you Rebecca, for helping a family member feel normal after tragedy. You are in our prayers“

“Wonderful food and great service!“

“The best tacos I've ever had. Lots of fresh meat and they weren't dry like the kind at a more popular restaurant. The best deals are on Tuesday. We will definitely be going back for more. This place is great and I want to try their other items.“

“El Adobe never disappoints. The food is absolutely incredible—so delicious that we always clear our plates, and that includes the kids, which says a lot. You truly can't go wrong with any dish on the menu. The drinks are just as good and always perfectly made. The service is consistently friendly and top-notch, making you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. On top of that, the ambiance is lively, fun, and full of character. El Adobe has become our family's favorite spot, and it's always our go-to restaurant whenever friends or family are visiting from out of town. It's memorable every single time.“

“It was fantastic! Amazing craft cocktails I've never had anything like before. Food was also fantastic. Local fish, local produce, how can you go wrong. Get the Tessie for a drink, amazing cocktail ?“

“It ain’t your regular taco stand on the side of the road that you know more times than not has some home made tacos. This is one that’s nestled in the plaza off of Alicia pwky! It was late Friday night and there was a line out of the restaurant. I was worried about the wait, but worries were assuaged when the line was dispatched quickly by the friendly cashier. Service was super fast, and food came out in 10 min. The restaurant gives party vibes for either taco Tuesday or any night of the weekend. Don’t sit on this restaurant, Taco Stand up and run for it when finding a place where you’re getting authentic flavor in south county!

Lets go!!“

“They catered our monthly event we call "Together" at Calvary Chapel Pacific Hills last night and all of their food was fabulous! I wish I had known about them for my upcoming Fiesta event in May at my mobile home park. Well I know who will be catering it next year: TB!!!😋🥰😃“

“Calo K's ceviche is delicious.“

“We just moved to Mission Viejo and found this place. We love Mexican food and have been to many places at all price ranges. Casitas Tacos beat them all in a tiny little place. Great friendly service, large menu selection, best home made tortilla chips and salsa, and the food is incredibly delicious. Love this place and will keep coming back.“

“Great place and pretty authentic food and top margaritas.“

“Always my go when I'm in town. I grew up in the area and it's still the same amazing hole in the wall restaurant. Great service with friendly staff. Always fun to see the owner still working onsite. I dream of these crunchy chicken tacos and house green sauce. It's fabulous.“

“Great dining experience, good quality food, we had the carnitas and they were cooked to perfection. Party of our group we're vegan and wait staff accommodated their food request eagerly nothing was a problem. Great atmosphere cozy seating very enjoyable experience“

“restaurant worth together🥰🥰“

“My favorite place to eat in Laguna Beach.
I love the aoli sauce on anything. And the chicken burritos are definately a go to. And the spicy margaritas are my favorite drinks there.
I have been coming here for last 20 plus years.“

“Excellent food and good service.“

“Great place and pretty authentic food and top margaritas.“

“A wonderful evening at Todos Santos with my wife. We were greeted by Daniel the owner and chef extraordinare who took us to a very nice table in the outside patio. We started off with drinks which were made by one of our favorite bartenders Jaime! The other bartender of choice is Francisco who had the day off. Kenya was our waiter and was superb, very personable and professional. We each ordered the appetizer salad which were so good. We spoke with Daniel about the fresh fish and decided on the Sea Bass for my wife and I ordered the Salmon and lobster plate. These two dishes were amazing upon presentation and even tastier than they looked lol. I must say since we began dining at Todos Santos from when Daniel took over this place has blossomed this restaurant into the best Mexican cuisine in Orange County. With multiple awards to his credit Daniel has new menu items that he creates regularly and now opens after hours on Tuesdays and Fridays with a DJ and dance floor. On Saturday and Sunday the restaurant serves breakfast from 10 am to 2 pm and the dishes are delicious. Make a reservation and ask for Daniel. Let him know George sent you. Great place, great food and amazing people! Highly recommended“

“Traditional style. A great hang.“

“Everything was so fresh and wonderful here! The staff was friendly and attentive, excellent service and delicious food. I recommend the crispy taco plate (hot and crispy) with the short ribs. YUM! Will tell our friends about this place, amazing!“

“This might be the best mexican food i have ever had. It tastes homemade! Delicious and fresh. Clean. Served on real plates and silverware, they bring it to your table. Honestly they deserve a nice location! The quick service style location doesn't do them justice. Wish I lived closer.“

“The best food in Laguna Beach.“

“I like Nono's Affordable Mexican food, and a front patio to also eat at. I like there enchiladas, tostados, tacos.“

“My wife and I have been going to flamingo’s for years. Victor is an amazing host and we always sit in his section to eat. He’s the best host I have ever had in all the restaurants I have ever been in. The food is amazing and the service is great.“

“The atmosphere was energetic with a fun and welcoming vibe, making it a perfect spot for a date night. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning. It is great to finally have a modern and stylish Mexican restaurant close to home.“

“Amazing taco 🌮 experience“

“Steak quesadilla was extremely chewy and greasy so I sent it back and still got charged for it. Took 30 minutes to receive check and 15 minutes to get credit card back when it was not even that busy“

“Our Women's Group meets there monthly and we always have fabulous service and the food is delicious!! They bring out the entire staff to sing, dance & play instruments for Birthday's and gift framed photos. Fun, family atmosphere!!!!“

“Good Food! Good service. 👍“

“I haven't even tried their food yet, but I felt compelled to write a review regardless. The owner took such great care of me before I walked out the door, so I already know the food will be great. Awesome place, excellent customer service. Keep it up!!!“

“Always amazing food and Staff“

“Great service and very clean“

“I'm an LCAD student and this is my go-to emergency lunch spot between classes! The food is delicious, affordable, and made very quickly, so I can get it in my lunch break. I highly recommend La Sirena to students, tourists, and residents!!“

“If I could give 10 stars they would get it! I rarely go online to write a review, and if I do it’s because I had a horrible experience. I wrote a positive review maybe twice in my life here’s my third. Start with the cashier, I really can’t say I ever had anyone serve me with a better attitude than the guy who helped me and I say right by the register and he kept that amazing attitude with all customers. At first I had 3 chicken tacos from the taco Tuesday deal (which I might say isn’t cheap, but quality costs) which were surprisingly good because I don’t love shredded chicken. The chicken was so good I decided to get an asada one as well just to make sure they really are as good as it seems. They crushed it, asada taco came to over 7$ after taxes and it glad to say I’ll be happy to pay that price anytime anywhere to get that same taco!“

“Taco Tuesday at Perla’s Taqueria is unbeatable! We tried the crispy carne asada and crispy carnitas tacos — both were loaded with meat and packed with incredible flavor. You can tell how good it is by how busy it gets, and for good reason. Great food, great deal, and great vibes. Definitely my new go-to spot for Taco Tuesday!“

“I tried their “Dos Enchiladas Rojas” with black beans, Salsa Mango and Pico de Gallo sauces. It’s apart of their new $10 bundle deals. I’d say the Enchilades were very good. The chicken was a little burned. But eating the Enchilada with beans and chips really helped bring all the flavor together. I truly enjoyed this meal!

“La Fiesta is a quentacential Mexican Restaurant, family owned & Operated, with the best chefs, recipes, daily fresh roasted salsa and best beans around So. Cal. The staff is the best at customer service & very friendly. You will love this place for the whole family!“

“Such a great atmosphere and delicious food thoughtfully made with great taste, love and presentation.“

“Recommend coming here. Big fan of Mexican food and this place did not disappoint. Got their carne asada and the meat was delicious. Enjoyed their chips and salsa. The salsa had a smoky bite to it. Rice, beans, and enchilada was to be expected but delicious. Safe to say that I stuffed myself good.

Service was good and quick. Nothing amazing, hence the 4 stars.

Same goes for the atmosphere. Just your standard sit down, which isn’t bad at but nothing amazing.

All in all I enjoyed the food and would go again.“

“What yummy delicious juicy chicken!“

“It is somewhat chaotic the ordering of food. There's is a line and have to know what you want from the menu ahead of time. If you are not familiar with their food or have questions, staff does not have answers. There is a separate line for drinks but you got to wait in the same line of the food people to come to cashier, oder and pay.“

“Came Up To Work In The Area Today To Repair Some Horse Trailers And I Was Told By A Local Resident James Lacono Megan Coltrane And A Couple Of Others. What an Amazing Place. The atmosphere was incredible the outside seating area look very relaxing. It was busy when I was there so I chose to sit inside nice tables lots of TVs. The staff was amazing and the owner was a very nice lady. I apologize. I forgot her name but she thanked me and it was just a great time. I will definitely be back.“

“Once again, the food, service and atmosphere were exceptional! Wonderful gem in the middle of Dana Point! Today we had the delicious Seafood Mocajete for two!“

“This wonderful little restaurant is the gem of South Laguna. if you're in the area, you owe it to yourself to stop by and try it out! The food is delicious and they offer a wide variety of dishes. I've been going there with my wife for over 20 years and never once had a bad meal. Papa's is also one of the best take outs in Laguna Beach“

“Love it. Will be next Tuesday“
