My Thoughts:
It took me awhile to visit this restaurant because its in an area of Laguna Beach that I dread. Its right at the corner of Laguna Village, a stones throw from the main beach. This area is such a trap...that corner is loaded with tourists and inland urbanites. The restaurants at this corner are usually packed, overpriced, and not very good. However, recently a new Mexican restaurant moved into town. The first time I went there I ordered my version of a chicken quesadilla. It was fantastic but I was still skeptical because its tough to mess up a quesadilla. The next time I went there I ordered the make your own tacos plate with carne asada and chicken. OMG...the best carne asada I have ever had. I actually started eating it straight off the plate and it is really easy to mess up carne asada. The salsa is also extremely fresh and tasty. The guacamole can use an upgrade...it was just ok. If you like margaritas this is the place as well because they have quite the selection.
My only worry about this place is that it is new and has yet to experience the summer rush. This may be the reason it is so different from the neighboring restaurants. Come summer I worry that the salsa may not be as fresh and the carne asada will not be cooked to perfection. We will see how they handle it!
