This has been our breakfast burrito spot for years. We moved to Brea recently and still make the drive down to CM to eat here, it's that good, and nothing else we've tried has compared. Fresh ingredients and delicious tortillas. read more

No flavor! small size for much money. I was trying to go between three salsa for flavor. They were watering actually no flavor. read more

La Laguna Mex Grill - No flavor! Not good size for your bucks ! I was trying to go in between threes watery and no flavor - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Just had the most incredible breakfast burrito from here! We got there early and the lady at the counter told me they don't open till 9 but she took my order anyway! We got a sausage breakfast burrito and it was simply the greatest breakfast burrito I've ever had. I've been in a spiral of having fancy $15+ coffee shop breakfast burritos that in the moment seem amazing but does not compare to the warmth and joy I got from this one. First of it was under $10 after tax. Second the sausage egg cheese and hashbrowns were mixed so every single bite had the perfect ratio. The tortilla felt homemade and was perfectly chewy. This is simple and just DEVINE and my new go to breakfast burrito spot hands down. Great service great food just spectacular experience, thank you!! read more

Stopped in here on my way to visit my Dad, and wow -- this little corner spot off Newport Blvd/55 delivered. Costa Mesa/N NB is a battlefield of restaurants, so standing out isn't easy... but these folks are hitting all cylinders. It's semi-hidden behind a big Verizon switch box in a tiny strip mall. classic underdog story. 1st Star: Service - driendly, welcoming, the kind of guy who makes you feel like you're a regular even when you're not. Huge win. 2nd Star: Menu Variety + Prices: Shockingly big menu for a small shop, and everything's priced like they actually want you to come back. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert -- it's all there. 3rd Star: Free Chips & Salsa (Yes, Even A La Carte): If heaven has a waiting room, they're serving chips and salsa. Automatic bonus points. 4th Star: Mexican Food "All Boxes Checked". Me = Beef Crispy Taco (VG) & Sope (Good) but they also have burritos, bowls, plates, enchiladas, chilaquiles -- classics plus some fun extras. Everything looked fresh, clean, and made with pride. 5th Star: Local Vibes: You can feel this is locally owned. And honestly, it felt good skipping the Jack in the Box across the street and supporting a spot where the owners are clearly putting their heart into it. Already planning my next round. The birria bowl was calling my name, and blackened seafood salad looked intriguing. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Don't pass up this diamond in the rough! I lived nearby for years and never knew about this place. The prices are lower than anywhere else, and the flavor is better than the competition. I'll definitely be coming here much more often moving forward. Take a chance--you won't be disappointed. The flavor is epic! The burritos can't be passed up. read more

I LOVE LA LAGUNA!! It's my go to spot for bomb Mexican food! My personal order is a bean and cheese burrito with onions and cilantro, so good! Andy is the owner and he is the kindest human ever. Best service, great food what else could you ask for? I've been coming here for a couple years and was non stop while pregnant. The place has awesome vibes, friendly staff and is clean. My partner and I will always be loyal customers. read more

Really love this place. Everything I've had has been delicious and I love the salsa bar. Super friendly service as well read more

The food and the salsas are great I got the taquitos and a Gordita, if you haven't been at this place you should, one of the best mom and pops restaurant I ever been, the service and the atmosphere are great as well overall I give them a straight 10!!! But don't believe me!!! Try it!!!! read more

Quick, clean, convenient, and delicious! Stopped in and tried a burrito - the tortilla was so light and fresh, it was packed with fresh ingredients and was large enough to share. They offer complimentary chips, and a delicious salsa bar with several different options. Prices are reasonable and their staff was super friendly. The parking lot is a little small, but we didn't have a problem getting a spot. Stop in and try them for yourself! read more

Breakfast burrito was good. Staff seemed frazzled, like maybe some called out or they were short handed. Staff was still pleasant. The inside was clean and the salsa bar was well stocked. read more

Solid place for reasonably priced Mexican food! Tacos are $3.50 ($4.50 shrimp) and most burritos are under $10. I got a taco combo plate ($10.25) with two tacos, rice and beans. I chose blackened fish and chicken soft tacos, which are topped with onions and cilantro. These tacos were loaded, the tortillas barely able to contain all of the ingredients. My husband got the blackened fish burrito ($11). It was big, but had a lot of rice and beans. They have a salsa bar that you can help yourself to. La Laguna Mex Grill is very close to the OC Fair and would make a great dining alternative to the overpriced fair food. read more

Was on the hunt for a California Burrito and I found this restaurant on my Yelp feed. Yay yelp!! Had the opportunity to stop by today and it's a cute spot! The burritos are reasonably priced and you self serve your sauces and drinks. There is no drive through. My burrito was tightly wrapped and full. It was lacking sour cream (California burrito), but it tasted delicious still. Service was friendly and I'd definitely come back to try their other options. read more

Delicious food, I had the breakfast burrito, hubby had the Carne Asada quesadilla. Very friendly service, very reasonably priced.

La Laguna has replaced El Mesquitito Grill. But don't fret--the food is still delicious! To be honest, the food tasted exactly the same to me (which is a good thing) I tried a Quesabirria, Carne Asada Nachos, and the Super California Burrito. We typically order the food ahead on the phone and it's usually ready in about 15 minutes or less. The salsas tasted exactly the way I remember El Mesquititios tasting. Pretty good! The Quesabirria and Nachos were good. Nothing too special, but still tasty. The most delicious item was DEFINITELY the Super California Burrito. A stomach bomb but still so delicious. Would definitely order that again! read more

Really good Cali burritos and tacos. Solid sauce bar is always nice. Would come again!

Breakfast burritos are worth the price and is very tasty! They have a morning breakfast burrito special from 9am-11am that is $7, but not including the Laguna Burrito option. Chips were free and the sauces are pretty good with a kick! Service is welcoming and the interior is small, but has enough seatings for a few parties of 1-4 people. read more

The food is bland and overpriced for the quality and amount. The chicken torta was mostly bread, very little meat. The birria had no flavor and wasn't served with the traditional consommé on the side. My daughter had carne asada tacos and they had so much fat and gristle! And the beans? Watery... yuck! Won't be back! read more

Recently, I've been rotating between Great Mex and La Laguna since I live by both, and have decided La Laguna has the better carne asada. Hands down, no comparison, it's just better. If that's what you're going for, come here. read more

Amazing portions for the price! The amount of meat you get is double what you get anywhere else. Every order comes with chips I think? (We ordered the birria tacos, carne asada taco, and al pastor) They also have a self serve salsa bar. Birria tacos: 7/10 good but not great. Carne asada taco: 8/10 really good! Al pastor taco: 8/10 I loved the spiciness of the taco, it was just right! I think all the tacos were really good and really filling. 2 is more than enough for a full meal bc of the amount of meat there is! I think that it's a bit hard to eat because there's so much meat and not enough tortilla but I actually love it as someone who tries to eat high protein! read more

They have the Best bean & cheese burrito in Costa Mesa. Love their salsas...Really fresh and good variety.

This place is tiny but the food is really good. We ordered Al Pastor Tacos, a breakfast burrito, a blackened fish taco, and a kids quesadilla plate. The Al Pastor was not traditional but was still tasty. The kids ate all of their food. The staff also was very friendly. read more

This place is great! So consistent, always good food and service. The breakfast burritos are our go-to. Staff is so friendly.

This place is goated and I've been here for breakfast burritos a few times and they never disappoint. 10/10

One of the worst breakfast burritos I have had in a very long time.. no scrambled eggs more like fried and burnt. The most overwhelming taste is the burnt egg. It has no flavor and I can barely taste any meat in it. I used to come here before it was sold to the new owners and the quality of food is crazy noticeable. Their California burrito was one of the best around and after this experience I'm scared to try it with the new ownership. I will never go back for a breakfast burrito which is unfortunate because they used to be really good. read more

Wish more people would be honest in their reviews of this place. Quaint and quiet, no parking, decent staff and customer service. Prices OK for food, ridiculous for drinks. As for the flavor of the food, I am not sure who keeps eating here and telling other people the food tastes good, but wow, I could not be more appalled at the absolute lack of flavor in the birria burrito I had. I can understand if maybe the rice or beans is slightly under seasoned, maybe the meat on some occasions. I get it, no one's perfect.. But for the entire burrito to have absolutely no flavor is something I haven't encountered yet. To make it worse, the "extra hot" and "hot" sauces were anything but! The sauces were like water with food coloring. I will never be back here, and I hope no one else goes back until they learn how to make food properly. One of the worst experiences I've ever had. All that said, the lady at the counter was nice and the food came out quickly. Place seemed clean and well taken care of, so, my gripe is with the food, not the management or service. read more

This quaint establishment is hidden in the corner of a plaza with the coffee behemoth of Starbucks. Don't let its stature deter you, for the burrito is hefty! I called upon a burrito of the breakfast variety, aptly named for its birthplace - La Laguna Special. The wonderful mix of eggs, meat, and other flavors danced upon my tongue like the nymphs of the Olympian gardens. My only critique would be that the browns of hash were not crispy inside my burrito but nevertheless, it was delicious! read more

I've tried their breakfast burritos and shrimp tacos. They were yummy! My new go to place for Mexican food. Will definitely continue trying out other things in their menu. read more

I've been here twice now for take out and both times were delicious. The price is great and they use actual lard in some of their dishes which is huge for flavor in my opinion. Quickly becoming my go to local spot since I moved to Costa Mesa and too far away from my local spots in HB! Recommend their breakfast burrito highly very filling and delicious! I appreciate their salsa bar but just wish they had an even spicier option. read more

Great food and service always given in a timely manner. Burritos and chips were great!

By far the most perfectly cooked, delicate flakey fish of any local Mexican restaurant. And everything else is great too. The staff are friendly, helpful and food comes out quick. read more

Overall: 4 Food: 4 Service: 5 Ambiance: 3.5 La Laguna really has never done me wrong - they showed me the way of the Gordita and I will forever be in their debt for it. I've had just about every taco, Gordita, and burrito on their menu. My personal favorite on their menu is the Shredded Beef Gordita. They do a solid Asada taco and my burrito of choice is Carnitas. However, if you're ever there for breakfast - the Laguna Burrito is the way to go. The Birria is just okay. Huge sides of rice and beans and great daily specials. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the best with Gordita Saturday and Breakfast Burrito Sunday. Chips with every meal! The staff is all super cool - family owned small business. I've conversed with everyone on the team and they all "pass the vibe check". The cook is the same guy everytime I've been (dozens of times) which ensures consistency! The location itself is a tiny little joint with minimal parking. They share a parking lot with Starbucks, a Bistro, and Wig Shop. The building consists of 4 tables and a high bar with about 5 stools. Their salsa bar is a cool feature because it allows you to choose from 4 different salsas and pickled veggies. read more

Really good hole in the wall. I am partial to their breakfast and breakfast burritos. The only place I have found to have the best tasting, not greasy chorizo and eggs. Yum There's a Starbucks, wig shop and some other good looking places next door. Service always quick and with a smile read more

I was craving Mexican food, but did not want anything fancy. I saw this place and the food looked delicious, I stopped by and besides looking delicious, it was! The prices were fair and even though it is a small restaurant, there was plenty of sitting. The service was amazing, the only negative was they didn't have Tres Leche Cake in stock, but that's for next time! read more
