14 Best Mexican Restaurants in Laguna Niguel

“Delicious… go there!!!! Eat!!! Drink!!!“

“El Pollo Loco on Greenfield in Laguna Niguel is one of the best locations in our area. Isabel is the manager and we must say that we've had nothing but a wonderful experience with her, every time we've come here. One time, we were shorted during our drive-through order and we called her, and she immediately took care of it and then some! This evening we were back again and she was so kind to tell us all about their specials and to give us a coupon. She is so professional, courteous, and welcoming! If you want a good Apollo experience come to the Greenfield location, ask for Isabel, you won't be disappointed!!“

“Always a friendly welcome and fresh tasting food from Baja Fresh on Golden Lantern. If I had to be critical, sometimes the staff does not read my special instructions, i.e. easy beans, , etc. Regardless, I will continue to visit this location. Keep up the great work, fellas!“

“the margarita! best in town. food is good too. friendly place.“

“Food is great and the service is super friendly nice place sit relax and have a good meal with friends“

“Best fish tacos I've had in the inland empire. Place is always crowded but the get your order quickly and your food out fast. They have 3 ways to order your fish taco, blackened and ensenada style are my favorite. Definitely the best white rice ever. So much flavor! Lots of toppings and salsa to choose from in their help yourself condiments bar.
Having their pico de gallo is a must. I eat that stuff with a fork! So good.
They do offer other Mexican food if you're not into fish.
Enchiladas, tacos carne asada and such. You choose the type of beans that you want both are incredibly good I usually go with the black beans with my fish tacos but the pinto beans are amazing too. The presentation of the food looks extremely nice too I wish I took a picture.
They waste no time in cleaning up your table the second you're out the door for more people to sit down.
The place is clean, loud, and has a great atmosphere with many big screen TVS. They serve different types of beer and all you can drink sodas.

Parking: There's only a couple of spots in front of the restaurant but plenty on the side and more in the back. Parking is never an issue and there are two ways to enter in case you park in the back North side .

Kid-friendliness: This place is for everybody some people bring their whole family a lot of times it's just couples. Fire departments are there all the time and police officers are there all the time it's the place to go.“

“OC Local Taproom is a great place for fabulous beer (more than 55 taps), wine and craft cocktails. The food is also fantastic. The best staff of any place we’ve been, with plenty of TVs for gem time and games for the kids. This is our go-to place. Highly recommend.“

“Located at inside OC Local Taproom. The servers are super nice and attentive.
I had the Pork Belly Sopes and it was delicious!
They have taco Tuesday’s at $3/taco, they have specials for football days too.(Thursdays and Mondays)
Can not wait to come back and eat here again.“

“The staff did a great job the entire time we were there. We showed up with a party of 10 without reservations and they got us seated quickly and just did a great job throughout. We ended up sharing across plates because everything sounded amazing on the menu and turned out to taste amazing too!“

“Great service!!! Keep up the good work“

“Lovely experience Charming All around and great food 💕“

“These guys helping us were so happy, kind, and helpful. My 3 boys had crazy orders and these guys nailed their very particular orders, AND did it while having fun with us. Also, the food was so good. All the meats we tried were ?!!! 2 of my boys went back for second orders! When we left, even my husband said “the workers in there were all so happy”“

“Las Golandrias has an extensive menu featuring breakfast, a la carte, and combo meals. There is no seating for diners here (no even for those waiting to order/pick up their orders). Food is generally prepared within 15 minutes of placing an order. I have only been to this location and I have been told that quality and options are different (and generally, not as good) at their other restaurants.
My favorites are the crunchy beef (asada) tacos and the beef enchiladas. I usually get the combo which includes a generous portion of beans and rice. Very tasty for the price!“

“I read online reviews before visiting Primos Mexican Food & Cantina, and I must admit that my experience was completely different from those of others. I've been going there for the last two Wednesdays for their taco special, which is four carnitas for $7. The food and service are excellent, and I especially enjoy the salsa bar.“
