“Such a fun atmosphere and excellent food! Our server Gabriel was friendly and helpful. He recommended the chile relleno and the Branzino and both were uniquely delicious. We also ordered the octopus ceviche for an appetizer and it was tender with incredible flavor. We also shared their homemade soft serve ice cream which was the best I’ve had. We shared this between 4 people and it was plenty of food. We are full, happy, and can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend if you want a great meal in a beautiful place!“
“Always my go to spot for lunch while at work, always consistent food and quality as well. As authentic as you can get, rich salsas, flavorful proteins and delicious sides as well. Definitely worth checking out if your are going to the beach or in the area, you won’t regret it.“
“Great food! We ordered two combo plates: chorizo+eggs and carnitas. Food came out piping hot, and the tortillas were hot and fresh, too. I really liked the flavor of the beans. Jarritos sodas were a nice touch too.Cool atmosphere too, with a miniature bar and TV showing sports right at the entry. I'd definitely come back here.“
“Parking is valet only, which we were ok with as parking in this area is rather difficult to find. Cost to valet is only $4 plus tip, was worthwhile.Chips were warm and fresh tasting but the salsa was more like a pico than a salsa. I am good with chunky salsa, but the other members of my dining party weren't fans. I ordered a steak burrito and it was good, but not the best steak burrito I have had. It is served enchilada style, which I am a big fan of.Service here was great, we were seated right away and drinks came quickly as did the food.The atmosphere here is a bit different. While it has great ocean views and a fireplace in the back of the restaurant where we sat, there was a bit of clutter on a few of the tables just past the bar to the right when we came in, which I found a bit out of place and was taken back a bit by. I stayed as this place was recommended by a local to the area. I would probably visit again if I were in the area again, but would be interested in trying something different on the menu.“
“If you’re going anywhere other than here for Taco Tuesday you are doing it wrong. They have the BEST tacos! Super simple menu, super authentic, and only $1.99 on Tuesday! They are always so friendly and SO efficient! We drive 30-40 min to come here and it’s worth it every time!“
“I’ve eaten here many times over the years and it’s consistently good. On this recent time, I ordered a variety of 20 tacos online (to-go) and they were ready in less than half an hour which is very impressive since the ingredients are so fresh. They included plenty of salsas and everything about my order was correct. I took the tacos to the beach for a picnic with friends and they were a hit.“
“Delicious food, fresh ingredients and options for allergiesIf gluten free (gf) the corn tortillas and tortilla chips are not safe due to cross contamination. The burrito bowl is safe and is delicious.The staff takes allergies seriously and cares about their customers.The restaurant is conveniently located across from public lot 5 and has street parking.Dietary restrictions: If gluten free (gf) the corn tortillas and tortilla chips are not safe due to cross contamination.

“Best tacos, laid-back atmosphere and consistent service! Our favourite is the Al Pastor Volcan - Marinated shaved pork with pineapple and spices served over a crispy corn taco. Incredibly addicting and as visitors from Canada, this will be something we will miss a ton!“
“Hands-down the absolute BEST Mexican food I have ever eaten!! We had the short ribs enchilada, the chicken nachos and a chimichanga. Cooked to perfection--even the chips are to live for!! We ate outside and watched the sunset while I sipped on a Corona Lite with lime. Service was superb. We will definitely return soon!“
“Quaint Mexican beach restaurant. Loved the fact that it was so close to the beach/you can see it from their outdoor dining area, which is where I sat.My service from start to finish was great. I ordered the 2 tacos with soup for $20ish. Tacos were on point and full of flavor(I ordered my tacos, 2 yr old style with only meat & cheese). The soup could've had a deeper flavor to the broth but still very delicious!Located on a very popular street in Laguna. Would recommend if you're in the mood for a laid back restaurant with classic Mexican food dishes.OHHH & THEIR SALSA = SOO GOOD!Parking - is on the street“
“Constantly great street tacos for years. Window on the sidewalk to order and pickup (online ordering too). Eat at the picnic tables or go to the beach. Probably the rest of the food is also good, but why eat anything else when you can eat perfect tacos?“
“Great food in Laguna Beach. A good healthy option and the burrito was really filling. The daily specials were good value. Seating is all outside so weather dependent. Lots of people there for takeout. Good option for healthier food especially on a sunny “
“Pastrami on a cheeseburger? Of course, yes! Lol This little place on the PCH in Malibu is preparing some unusual, but super tasty bites Walk up window, but outside tables. Would definitely recommend if you want something solid, without the fuss of dining in“
“Wahoos closed near me but when I am in Orange County I always try to stop by to get their fish tacos! Not many places sell fish tacos anymore and definitely not in the variety of ways that Wahoo does (in a salad, fried, grilled) nor with the quality of fish that Wahoo does (they use a Wahoo fish). The owner is Chinese so there are also subtle Asian influences that Wahoo brings to certain menu items. Hope that Wahoo opens up more locations in LA County again!“
“Great, quick place down nestled by a beautiful beach. Highly recommend if you’re looking for flavorful Mexican food for reasonable prices down by the beach. Highly recommend the shrimp enchilada and the catch of the day. Salsa and guacamole was very good as well.“
“Wonder experience! Went on a Saturday night and we had a great time. Food was 10/10, service 10/10, and of course the location is 10/10. I will definitely be going back.-Sea Scallops/ribs were really great.-Fresh corn tortillas, salsa was great.“
“Overall experience was great- our waiter was not overly attentive once he found out we would not be drinking and felt frustrated that we were not ready to order immediately once our final party member arrived. The food was really good and it was a bit noisy initially but quieted a bit as dinner went on.“
