Wow! As most Mexican restaurants in Southern California are pretty good - the competition for customers is fierce- every now then, one of them will really stand out! This place is one of those! The Caviche’ was amazing and the Avocado Bowl was off the charts a great choice as an my main course! I will absolutely repeat!

Our favorite restaurant to dine at when in Laguna beach. I get the Casado burrito with impossible meat and green sauce. It is sooooo good. Honestly everything I’ve ever had from here was delicious. Highly recommend their margaritas 🤤
July 2025
We ordered the Abuela soup which was the highlight of our meal. It was surprisingly flavourful and generous with the protein. We also ordered tacos, it was nothing special and kind of dry. We will come back just for the soup. Prices are excellent.
