“One of our favorite places to eat in Orange County. We always bring visitors here because of the fantastic atmosphere. And the fact that it was built when it was still Mexico is such a cool cultural bit, it's also haunted spooky! We had our graduation party here for our daughter, 13 people, people and they did such a fabulous job taking care of us, I just can't recommend this place enough. Go check it out.“

“Oh. My. God!!!! Bomb!!!! I order chips & guacamole, asada taco & pollo asado burrito. The minute I tried the chips i knew. The tacos was sooo good. Next time im going to get an asada burrito. The chicken was good but the asada was where it’s at. The salsas were very tasty! I’m glad I tried a variety of them. I think my favorite was the creamy cilantro. My only regret is not ordering a single flour tortilla on the side so I can take it home & add some butter & I should’ve gotten the churros. Next time for sure!“

“Welp! As the owner, I have to say it’s a sweet lil spot with great food on the weekends and a perfect spot to pick up anything you need during the week. A great getaway from the madness downtown and a place to reflect and be grateful.“

“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.“

“Absolute S tier Mexican restaurant that family owned and operated. The chips and salsa are made in house, and the bean dip is absolutely amazing. The Carmelita combination is the best value, and allows you to try so many different items which are all delicious. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere is amazing overseeing the lake.“

“Nice place to enjoy some food and drinks… Loved it’s ambiance and service.“

“The owner served us as if we were in his home. He tended not only to us but to all his customers. We experienced true Mexican culture while visiting his restaurant. He brought out homemade natural guava drink, he brought a small cup for my 17 month old and a side of rice for her to start eating. He brought food out without being asked and when he was asked he provided. We ordered chilaquiles red and green, a cheeseburger plain and a plate of carne asada. Because my husband didn’t order food, he brought out a side of small lentil soup for him. Once the meal was finished he provided my children complimentary ice cream popsicles.“

“They have the absolutely best enchilada sauce around. They used this aged Wisconsin cheese that has such a unique flavor and it melts perfectly. Don't forget the house margarita 😋 I have been eating at El Cholo for over 35 years and have never been disappointed“

“Great food. Best carnitas in OC, hands down! Great margaritas. And the servers are super friendly.“

“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“

“restaurant worth together🥰🥰“

“Great service and very clean“

“Great looking place, very nice vibe and feel. Good service, too. Crispy tacos were ok, not the best. Would have preferred a more typical street taco style. Kinda gringo tacos. Not bad. Shredded chicken was dry and not very palatable, if I had to be picky.“

“Besides the Delicious food the customer service is great! The restaurant is very nice and clean! I definitely recommend flamingos if you are looking for a great place to eat out with your love ones 👍👍👍👍👍“

“Traditional style. A great hang.“

“The best food in Laguna Beach.“

“The salsa bar is unmatched. Our food was very fresh and served to us. My taco was stuffed with so many flavors that the one with chips and salsa was enough for me. My husband enjoyed his Blackened Citrus shrimp bowl with mango salsa (no longer available at Rubio's). This is our new favorite place for fresh, fast Mexican food. They also have a rewards program, so be sure to sign up on the app.“

“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“

“Their food is OK, but their pollo asado (grilled chicken) on the weekends? What a banger. Im giving 5 starts ONLY because of the freaking chicken!!

Good price for a whole chicken, and if you talk to the right staff, they hook you up with little extras. Their tacos and/burritos might be great for some, for me are OK at best. But Their weekend's pollo asado? Pretty damn good. Sometimes it could be more juicy, but the flavor is always there.“

“great food good price will return again“

“What yummy delicious juicy chicken!“

“We loved the decorations, it really felt like you were south of the border. Great food and service and all the staff was really friendly.“

“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!!!😋🥰😃“

“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!!!!“

“Always amazing food and Staff“

“My go-to taqueria in south OC. A plethora of homemade salsas, personal bags of chips go with every meal. They often have eacabeche carrots and limes that you just have to ask for, but no extra charge. All of the employees are warm and inviting and very helpful. I LOVE PERLAS!!!!!!! Ps get the chicken mole soft tacos on taco Tuesday, you will not regret it!!!!“

“Good Food! Good service. 👍“

“I got the chicken burrito and my husband got a carne asada quesadilla. They tasted so good and the portion size was great. I had to wait in three different lines though one for food one for sodas and one for desserts. The pan Dulce was very good and made it back on Amtrak without crumbling. Someone suggested this as somewhere to go when visiting the mission or the petting zoo. Definitely worth the 5-minute walk out of the bougie area and the regular people area that's affordable.“

“Love it. Will be next Tuesday“

“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.“

“BEST FISH TACOS !!! And spicey salsas are sooo good !!“

“This place is hands down one of my favorite restaurants. The food is superior to any Mexican restaurant around. The owners are incredible and so kind to the customers. Staff is always on it and working hard. They’re so sweet to my kids. The enchiladas Del Mar and chicken tortilla soup are INCREDIBLE! My husband recently declared that we need to have a set recurring Morena’s night from now on because it’s just so good! Can’t wait to go back! We always leave incredibly full and happy 🙂“

“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!“

“The Chile Relleno Burrito!!! Oh and Horchata!!!“

“Fast, friendly service! Delicious food!!“

“First time here. It was so good. The brisket is amazing. We ordered 2 quesadillas, the brisket and shrimp. The cheese pull was epic on both. We also ordered the brisket frie nachos and 1 fish taco. Everything was 🔥. You get A lot of food for what you spend. The seating is outside only (not many seats). They do play awesome music (wish I knew what Pandora station that was) and it was a great breeze outside, sun and plane watching made it.
We will definitely come back.
Also, which I always think is important, yes their bathroom is outside but they are very clean.“

“Quick and fresh. Loved our burritos. Seems to be more of a take out place. There’s two tables out front, one of which we were able to snag to chow down before heading to our appointment in town. The cabbage in the burrito gives it that crunch and the salsa is so flavorful. The steak was delicious too! I added beans and no rice for maximum flavor!!!“

“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!“
