Passed by Laguna beach and found this restaurant by loving the warm atmosphere in their outside eating area. The soup I ordered "Mama Avila's Soup" was so good！ Nice restaurant and I will defiantly come again.

Great food. We had the avocado bowl. And the devil shrimp. Both were good. The shrimp dish had more kick. Avocado bowl was nice, but a bit flat. Chips and salsa were good. Highly recommend the guac and making it spicy via their sereno peppers. Flour homemade tortilla are great. Very dog friendly! Great outdoor patio!

Food is always Fresh and delicious. Prices are very reasonable for the beautiful Ocean view and atmosphere. Always a must stop whenever I'm in Laguna Beach would definitely recommend the Chicken Flaunta combo

7/19/2023 The food was good. My daughter had the avocado burrito, it's the biggest burrito I've ever seen. Our server was nice and made good suggestions. We could see the ocean and the 80s music was fun. Had a great time.

Service was great! Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The carne asada avocado bowl and guacamole were by far my favorites. Parking was a bit hard to find but I did find metered street parking a few blocks down the street. Whoever was in charge of the music gets a 5 star review as well. Enjoyed listening to Rufus Du Sol and Lane 8 amongst others while we dined🙌🏽

Our server, Shelley, was a sweet treat in service but sometimes got a little backed up. The Margaritas were off the charts good and well-balanced. This evening, we had Pepe's Grilled Platter, it has caramelized onions and roasted sliced peppers served with Mexican rice and cheese crusted refried Pinto beans, my wife had 2 Chicken taquitos with a Chili Relleno. The taquitos were filled with lots of flavorfilled chicken, and the Chili Relleno was nicely breaded and easy to cut. The flavored margaritas were packed with flavos and tequila and had us feeling pretty good

The food and atmosphere were great. However, the true reason we will come back has two names. First Brooke was our server and she killed it from the starting gate. She was so sincere, genuine and extra attentive. The second reason is named Shelley. Towards the end of the eve she came to our table to bring us a drink and both me and my cousin connected with her so easily. She too was very genuine. This place has such a warm family feel. We will make this our hot spot will I am visiting my cousin from Corona ❤️
