    Decent view of the ocean near Laguna Beach. Patio in front. Food was tasty and the staff was very pleasant. For the area, it was affordable and had parking behind the restaurant.

    Loved the outdoor patio. Pet friendly, fire pit, huge eucalyptus trees, and comfortable booths. Coconut margarita was delicious. Lots of vegetarian options!

    Not the best place if you're looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant but I love that it's by the beach.
