Get the carne asada fries, easily some of the best fries and steak I’ve had, and definitely the highlight for me. I also loved the tacos. It’s a great casual spot to grab a relaxed meal, and the staff are friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. Perfect place to hang out midday and enjoy good food without anything feeling too formal with a few outside sitting. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

The grilled shrimp tacos here are my absolute favorite that I’ve ever had. You can watch them make the tortillas fresh as you’re there and that is an experience unto itself. I think I’ll eat here every day. It’s a love story…

So delicious! We love the taco stand and come here all the time with our littles. The unlimited salsa bar is a huge win, and everything we’ve tried has been great, especially the California burritos and the loaded fries — super filling and packed with flavor. Prices feel really reasonable for the portions, which is always appreciated. One of our favorite parts is the location… it’s so close to the beach, making it the perfect spot to grab food and then head straight to the sand. Easy, fun, and consistently good — highly recommend.

at first, I rated 5/5. I ate some of the burrito and found RAW chicken 3x… so I came to edit this review to 2/5. Plus raw churros/ Tacos were good w asada. Super generous w/ food sizes but line is huge always. Only one person taking orders and he couldn’t understand our order for a little while. Salsa bar ran out of lids and cups and the ice machine was empty. They look understaffed.. definitely need another person to take orders, one person to constantly clean the tables, and one person were restocking, salsa bar, and drinks. Churros were amazing but RAW. I want to love this place but chicken SHOULD NOT be raw. That’s disgusting bc i would probably get sick but weird because I saw the chef burning the chicken multiple times to where alarms went off. I loved this place at first, but there

This taco stand is packed for a reason! The food is absolutely delicious and tastes incredibly fresh every time. The portions are generous, the ingredients are high quality, and everything comes out fast. On top of that, the service is amazing — everyone is friendly, efficient, and clearly cares about the experience. Such a great spot in Laguna Beach and always worth the stop. Highly recommend!
