Great location 7/6/2010

This is a fun place to go to! It is right in the heart of Laguna Beach... The restaurant always seems to be packed.. but itàs fun to go to once in awhile. It has an amazing view. If you have people in from out of town, make sure to take them here...they will be impressed! more

RIPPED-OFF!!! 1/29/2010

Went for a last fun night in Laguna. Got slow sloppy service and a dirty table that was never wiped down, requested some salsa to zest up a bland quesadilla, got charged $2 for it, $9 glass of house wine. The sunset view is hidden by trees, we fled and went to the Cliffs, much better view, service, and prices!!! Pros: nothing Cons: slow, charge for salsa, no happy hour drink specials more

some guy i was dating brought me here one sunday morning for brunch. we got patio seating overlooking the ocean. it was amazing! loved the tacos and and the drinks. really scenic and breathtaking view. the view eclipses the food. Pros: awesome view, great food and drinks Cons: always a wait more

Best views, best food, holy shit that place is amazing! 10/8/2009

We went there for our anniversary after a long walk on the beach. We got lucky to be seated right by the window overlooking the ocean, just spectacular! I am not usually big mexican food fan, but here it was amazing, a bit expensive but thats ok, it was worth it! I'm so happy we went there, even after seeing some not so good reviews. Had a really good time! Pros: Views, location, food (many choices besides mexican dishes) Cons: Small margaritas - had to get 2 :) more

coffee anyone? 5/24/2009

I went here for breakfast on a friday with a neighbor and ordered coffee and they would not serve me coffee only. very disappointed. more

The best!! 11/24/2008

Awesome!! I love the restaurant and location...great for summer drinks in the afternoon. Also, love the fact that the CFO voted Yes Prop. 8 !!....Its good to see someone standup and not give in to intolerant left liberals. Pros: Location, Location, Cons: Parking is sometimes tough...also, gets a little cold in the winter more

Not Good 11/13/2008

The CFO of Las Brisas contributed to the Yes on 8 campaign. OC residents should be aware of this before they spend their money at this establishment. more

Mediocre -- proof that Mexican food's flavor is typically inversely proportionate to its price. 8/20/2008

This restaurant's view is spectacular and I for one found the service to be excellent, but the food is a joke. Overwrought presentation only adds insult to the overwhelming blandness of everything on the plate. The ceviche was terrible, the sole and chicken were dry, the seafood enchiladas were downright disgusting. Honestly, I can't think of a single restaurant experience in which I've felt so completely ripped off. Maybe I'm biased, having grown up in an area full of low-key taquerias in which $6 buys an enormous and flavorful meal. If you like honest Mexican cuisine, if you like flavor, this place is not for you. Nice view, though. Pros: Nice view, decent service. Cons: Terrible food. Bland, bland, bland, and not cheap. more

Food that is on par with the Spectacular view 7/2/2008

This Laguna Beach treasure offers customers delicious mexican dishes to go with the stunning scene of beautiful blue waters and soft, white sand. The interior is just as beautiful as the birds-eye view of the beach, and the meals are fantastic and fresh. more

Excellent food, Excellent view, Excellent service ... did I already say Excellent food? 4/20/2008

I really love going to this place... Especially for the breakfast buffet on Saturday mornings. (On Sundays they have something different going on... but it's not the buffet.) Nothing beat a nice drive down PCH on a weekend morning. Plenty of parking which will cost you at the parking meter. I highly recommend making reservations the day before so you can walk past all the people up front and be seated like a VIP. I've never had to wait when I made a reservation. After you are seated you go to the buffet area. Grab a plate and have one of their omelet artisans create the perfect breakfast piece for you. I always throw a buck or two into the tip basket. You move on to fresh waffles, eggs benedict, sausage, fresh fruit and other treats I don't know the name of, but they are ALL GOOD. If you're lucky you'll be seated next to the window to enjoy the ocean view. With all this factored into equation you'd think it was expensive... but not at all. The breakfast is $13.95 per person ($5.95 for children under 12)... and the juices are like $2.00. Afterwards you can enjoy the ocean view from the gazebo a few yards away or enjoy a walk on the beach. I've created a lot of great memories around this place. Pros: EXCELLENT (fill in the blank). Everything about this place is great Cons: Having to feed the meter for parking...but is that really a con? more
