    We ordered the paradilla which is an off menu order. I would recommend it. It's a lot of food and delicious. We also had a couple of pineapple jalapeno drinks which were also wonderful! We will be back soon!

    Across from the beach in laguna beach, this place has some excellent Mexican food. Came in and was seated outside under an umbrella table. We had 5 people and the waiter brought out an extra chair for us. He was super attentive and helpful. As we were ordering, they brought out some fresh tortilla chips and fresh salsa/bean dip. Super crispy, warm and authentic tasting. I ordered the enchilada which was made just right.
