    Absolutely love this place! Really great fajitas, enchiladas, nachos, everything!! Best part is I can call in and order, pick up at drive thru and bring it home to eat in my space Portions are perfect we usually have left overs.

    Chori Pollo

    Been a regular at this place for a while now. They always have good service and food reasonably pric is always freshly made. They recently had a remodel of the restaurant and it looks fantastic. I recommend the Chile Rellano or the Chori Pollo.

    Glad I gave this place a try! I was in town for business and stopped in for dinner. The place was buzzing on a Wednesday night. Lively atmosphere and clean. There were families and small groups. The servers were very good, and attentive. Good menu options and the food was fresh and delicious. Well done.

    Large margarita

    This place took some major damage from hurricane Laura back in 2020. We were so glad when it finally reopened, as my wife and I are huge Mexican cuisine fans. We were not disappointed! Great decor, and the food is out of this world! The large margaritas are served in the biggest glasses I've seen in any local Mexican restaurant. Would recommend this location to everyone.

    Wife and i decided to try it out....so bland...i was utterly disappointed! But the ceese was very good and the chips were hot

    Wife and I both had the #22 which was lunch menu. It was a burrito and taco and enchiladas all tasted exactly the same...bland no season what's so ever! The floor was filthy, my menu had dried salsa on it. Not a good way to start. Service was good.... Now the chips and salsa...yum fresh hot crisp chips, not greasy and the salsa was fresh. Beat part of the meal... So in short...we won't be back...l

    I really liked this spot! Located in the corner of the shopping plaza, this spot was spacious on…read morethe inside and had plenty of seating, perfect for big groups or as intimate for a casual date. Our waiter was extremely attentive, refilling our chips and salsa before we were out, and remembering our specific drink orders for refills. Chips were served warm with three different salsas - a great variety of spices, and warm chips are just my favorite. I got the salmon plate with cilantro rice and lettuce/tomatoes/cheese on the side. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the rice was nice and fluffy. Great portion size as well!! The menu wasn't too big so it was much easier to narrow down on a decision on what to eat. Highly recommend as a quick spot to satisfy any Tex-Mex craving.

    What a quite surprise. I wasn't expecting much when I walked in. No offense, Lake Chuck -- but…read moreyou're not exactly known for Mexican food. This place was solid for the location. Did it wow me? No. But it definitely got the job done. Maybe I was starving, but the burrito really hit the spot. The steak was cooked perfectly -- which is rare since it's usually dry and hiding under a blanket of cheese sauce. This one actually had great flavor. The crispy taco, on the other hand, was mid. See that, young kids? I got the lingo. Overall, I'd come back if I'm passing through. Service was great, the bartender was super friendly, and the place is very affordable. Bonus: if you need to charge your Tesla or other electric vehicle (no discrimination here), this is a convenient stop. Cheers, y'all.

    Came here early evening with a group of (7) to enjoy some fellowship and a delicious array of…read moreMexican dishes and we almost accomplished our objective. The staff here was very friendly and worked hard to deliver the best customer service experience ever but it was obvious from the start there isn't much management involvement so we found the wait time and food delivery to be somewhat erratic meaning we weren't able to all get served and enjoy our food as a group. Another sign that this place lacks management was when the "final four" basketball games started a few inebriated customers were allowed to scream at the top of their lungs when the bouncy ball went into the hoop (so fricking annoying) I don't believe this a sports bar and if I had known it may be one we would of definitely chose a different place for dinner. Our server was the sweetest, she really tried hard but totally lacked any sign of training and had no timing and no help we worked with her and helped guide her through dinner service but it was a struggle. The good news is that the food was delicious - warm chips, both the red and green salsas were outstanding, the queso was delicious as well. Of course I didn't taste everyone's dish but there weren't any complaints from our group beside the timing of the food and unfortunately the temperature of some of the dishes that arrived late like it had been sitting awhile in the back or who knows got lost. Well we had fun because of those that attended and most of the food was really good so kudos to the kitchen - I am told even though the service is hit or miss the food over-comes most of the behavior so just make sure you plan ahead for the wait when they seem to be overwhelmed- what a gem this place could be if it was managed better. 18% Gratitude on parties of 6 or more regardless of the level of service, I would have probably given 25% if the service was better...

    Great service! Great Food!…read moreNormal speed, which is kinda needed for the food to be so good.

    The Scene Laguna's has a pretty standard Mexican restaurant…read moresetup inside - casual, familiar, nothing over the top. The outdoor patio, though, is a nice touch and definitely the more inviting part of the space. If the weather is right, that's probably where I'd choose to sit next time. The Eats This visit was a bit of a miss for me. The chips were "off" - either too thick or not fried enough - but something about the texture just didn't hit right. I ordered the chimichanga, which is a flour tortilla filled with your choice of seasoned beef or chicken, deep fried and topped with ranchero sauce, served with sour cream. Unfortunately, it didn't land for me. I'm used to chimichangas being topped with a white cheese sauce, so the ranchero sauce was unexpected and not something I enjoyed. The overall dish just didn't come together, and I ended up not finishing it or taking it to go. I didn't try any drinks since I had a class afterward, but honestly, that's probably what I'd lean into if I returned. The Service Service was fine - no major issues. We were greeted, orders were taken, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. Nothing stood out either way, but it got the job done. Parting Thoughts Laguna's may be worth a visit for the patio or to try drinks, but the food didn't quite meet my expectations this time. I might give it another shot and order something different, but based on this visit, it wasn't a standout for me.

The only thing we didn't like was their salsa. It was like tomato sauce with a touch of spice to it. The margaritas were as good as the ones in Austin Texas! Salsa and margaritas are how I judge my Mexican restaurants. I like less tomato sauce and more actual finely diced tomatoes, onion, peppers. We will be back on our next visit!! I want to be able to sit up top when it's not raining.
