We ate in the evening. It's very nice in the garden. The food was delicious. We got a basket of tortilla chips and sauce straight away and thought how nice! If you know in Europe in the restaurants that you get bread and good olive oil or aioli... In the end it was $15 on the bill? Apparently it's different here, you just have to pay extra for everything.
Overall, everything was good and relatively fresh and tasty.

Quaint and small, nestled on the ocean side, with delicious cocktails and amazing food! The service was also wonderful and attentive. We loved the guacamole and my Bloody Mary was delicious with house made mix. Highly recommend the blackened Mahi Mahi tacos! So filling with very generous portions and reasonably priced! My Husband had the ahi bowl that he says was equally amazing! We sat o the deck outside and it was beautiful, although there’s no view of the ocean. If you sit...

Salsa is amazing!! We were in Laguna Beach for a few days and had to come back multiple times because it's so good! Everything is so good! Wish I could take this restaurant home with me.
