La Sirena Grill consistently provides well prepared tasty Mexican Food with each visit per our experience over the years. Staff is welcoming and on point - albeit this is a walk-up counter order restaurant and self serve drink and salsa bar spot. The interior dining is quite pleasant with outdoor seating options available overlooking the parking. read more

If you're in Laguna Beach and craving Mexican food that feels fresh and high-quality rather than heavy and greasy, La Sirena Grill is a total win. I've been looking for a solid spot in the area, and this definitely hit the mark. What We Ordered: We went all out and tried a bit of everything, and the portion sizes were great for sharing: Enchilada Platter: This was beautifully presented with both red and green sauces. The toppings were super fresh--plenty of pico de gallo, crema, and crumbled cheese. It came with a side of both black and pinto beans, which were seasoned perfectly. Burritos: We tried a couple of different ones. The wraps were toasted just right, and they weren't "all rice"--they were packed with meat and fresh greens. Quesadilla: Simple, cheesy, and exactly what you want as a side to share. The Salsa: Definitely don't skip their salsa and guacamole. The pico de gallo had a great crunch and tasted like it was made minutes before it hit the table. The Vibe: The location has a great, laid-back coastal energy. It's perfect for a casual lunch after the beach or a relaxed dinner. Even though they focus on a "healthier" alternative to traditional Mexican food, they definitely don't sacrifice any of the flavor. Pro-Tip: The ordering process is pretty quick, but seating can fill up fast during the lunch rush. It's a great spot to grab a bag of food to-go and head down to the water for a beach picnic! read more

This Mexican restaurant in south Laguna is casual in atmosphere but strong in good food! Seating inside or outside on the patio area. Prices were very good and the portions large. There is a salsa bar where you can choose the level of heat you like- mild, medium or spicy. The staff friendly and service was quick. I had the blackened mahi mahi burrito. It came with a side of tortilla chips. It was full of fish, fresh cabbage, rice and beans. The fish was prominent and rice and beans were accompaniment and not just filler! It was moist and flavorful! The salsas were also fresh and the hot salsa had taste to go along with heat. Now if you like heat- my son had the Diablo Quesadilla! Good menu, really good food, service and prices both outstanding- Make this a place you visit for great Mexican food. read more

Located in the shopping center across Montage, La Sirena Grill is a fast causal Mexican spot offering delicious food at a reasonable price. Menu includes tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, enchiladas or taquitos plate, and salad. You order first at the counter, grab the salsa from the sauce bar, and then wait for your food at the table inside or outdoor patio. Service is good, and the portion is generous. I enjoyed the burrito, and the tortilla chips were really fresh. Good local spot and great place to grab a bite in the area. read more

Cute family owned spot serving a fresh and healthy twist on Mexican food. It's located in downtown Laguna, so perfect to grab something to eat on the beach. Cashier was very warm and welcoming, and helped me with my chicken burrito nowl. The tortilla chips were cantina style, and were perfectly thin and crispy. While I wouldn't say it's traditional Mexican food, it's a lighter way to indulge on those beach days. My bowl was loaded with thinly sliced cabbage, tomatoes, and the chicken was tender and delicious. They were also very generous with the guacamole, and it was probably the best tasting guacamole I've had from a restaurant. Will definitely return when I'm looking for a bite to eat in DT Laguna! read more

Updating my review as I've seen a major increase in quality, menu updates and drink changes. I'm so happy that the classic favorites are still on the Laguna Beach South location as well as some new specials to try. The drink options for margaritas are some of my favorite and the cilantro lime salad still stands out as my favorite thing on the menu. I'm excited to come back regularly. read more

Me and my girls don't come down often (we're about a 2 hour drive away) but this is our favorite spot to stop for a drink and delicious Mexican food. The Horchata is right up my alley . The service is amazing, so sweet and they truly care for your experience. The setting is lively but calm, a mixture I'm not sure I'm describing correctly but will make sense when you visit. A must when in Laguna! read more

Great location--right across from the Montage and easy to swing by after hanging out at Treasure Island. I tried the carnitas, carne asada, and calamari tacos. The carnitas were solid with good flavor. The carne asada was a bit tough and kind of bland, not really doing it for me. The tortillas didn't hold up and kept falling apart, which made the tacos hard to eat. The calamari tacos had way too much guac--I could barely taste the calamari under it all. The complimentary chips and salsa bar were a nice touch, though! Fresh and flavorful. Overall, I'm glad I checked it out, but I've had better tacos elsewhere. Might be worth trying if you're in the area and curious. read more

We stopped here for a quick lunch as we drove into town. The guy behind the counter was really friendly but the other employees were distracted with setting up a new TV. My husband's burrito came out pretty quickly but after 10 min of waiting for my burrito bowl, I finally went up to the counter and asked him to grab it off the line for me because I could see it sitting there waiting to be brought out, (because everyone else was distracted with the new TV). I was annoyed by the time I finally got my food but after taking the first bite I got over it. The fish of the day burrito bowl was SO good! The flavor of the fish and the sauce was a perfect match and I devoured the entire thing. I highly recommend ordering it. My husband's burrito was also good but my meal was definitely better. The chips were a little stale but the guac was really fresh and good. I would go here again if we were in town. read more

Fish taco plate was great, especially the sauce. Shrimp taco as well. Both came with chips and each salsa (mild, medium, hot) are good (green is my favorite). If you order on Toast ahead, go straight to where it says "pickup" past the line. Busy place with a bar, takeout and dine in (indoors and outdoors). Right above Treasure Island Beach which is gorgeous! read more

Stopped by randomly while stopping by a convenience store and my mom and I tried it. Asada is good. We got the nachos! I need to try a little bit more to give a full review but solid 4 for just the asada. A little skimpy on portion. read more

What a cute spot! I always go to the one across the street from the Montage, this one is so quaint and you blink you miss it. The customer service here is amazing. Everyone is so attentive and the food comes out fast! We got a carne asada taco, a birria burrito, and a fish burrito. Our friend got the salmon salad with papaya. She said the dressing was really fresh and good. It's nice to know that this location is here for future laguna visits. read more

Was in the area earlier and wanted to grab a bite to eat as dinner plans fell through. You order at the counter and they bring to your table, casual fast dining. Shared plates- quesadilla, shrimp tacos, tortilla soup and burrito bowl. The food was flavorful and good but wouldn't go out of my way for it. The margarita of the months are fun and the guava margarita was good. It was busy when we arrived, not a ton of indoor tables but bar space and outside patio with heaters. We snagged an outside table by the door for our party of 6 with a high chair and it had cleared out pretty quickly after we sat down. I would recommend if you're in the area. read more

Love this place Good n drinks awesome Staff is so welcoming and friendly!!! Best margaritas in town ( and cheapest !!!) It's a sweet local hangout Weekend nights are busier read more

Food was ok. I wish them well. They brought us chips and guacamole which we ordered. Apparently it was supposed to come with our meal so the food runner wanted to come and take them back and kind of scolded at us for accepting it. A little bizarre. They need to salt their guacamole it was really bland. Tacos were OK. There's better out there. read more

The chips are delicious!! Spritz with a little lime and they are perfect. Delicious with the choices from the salsa bar. Sour and cider were tasty. The Rita had a nice pour. Burrito with shrimp was tasty, Baja fish taco and crispy taco were delicious as well. We sat inside so you couldn't see the ocean but it was a good lunch choice. Quick service and plenty of inside and outside seating. read more

La Sirena never disappoints, and Eric's exceptional service made our recent visit unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, his warm smile and attentiveness set the tone for a great evening. Eric's menu recommendations, like the carne asada tacos and house margarita, were spot on, and he ensured our dietary preferences were thoughtfully accommodated. His balance of efficiency and genuine care made the experience feel effortless and personal. What truly sets Eric apart is his enthusiasm for creating a memorable dining experience. Gris as well was our server, and she was very thoughtful and helped us too! Whether offering interesting insights about the restaurant or checking in at just the right moments, he added a special touch that elevated our evening. La Sirena's delicious food and inviting ambiance are always a draw, but Eric's exceptional hospitality ensures we'll be back soon. The food is, AMAZING, and The service, amazing 10/10 stars read more

Food was great! We ordered the carne asada fries and the catch of the day burrito which happened to be shrimp! The carne asada fries were good. The steak was tender, flavorful, and you could tell it was a great cut. The shrimp burrito had a generous amount of protein in it and it paired well with our choice of black beans inside the burrito. Ate half of the burrito that night and then took the rest to work the next day and it still held up very well. For drinks, we ordered some spicy margaritas. Pretty standard but refreshing. They had a very large array of beers on tap. The bar looked like a brewery wall. Will try some beers on our next visit. Ambiance was casual. You could tell people came in for the quality of food, not really for the vibes. It's a quality place that attracts all people who enjoy a good meal. I love that they still have an open salsa bar. A lot of establishments have got rid of that, so it's cool to see they're still using it! Our favorite salsa was the green. And we loved the pico and the fact that we could get as many limes as we'd like Service was "fast casual", so we went up to the bar to order and was then given a number and the food was taken out to our table. The people who brought our food out were very kind and extremely helpful. Will be visiting next time we're in Laguna Beach for sure!!!!! read more

How did I not know about this place being a local? We had an evening meeting in the area and they suggested we eat dinner at La Sirena Grill. Service was very friendly. Atmosphere is casual and relaxed, very appropriate for the beach area. Salsa bar is fantastic!! The only reason I'm giving 4 star is the steak in my burrito was quite chewy but the flavors and other ingredients were great. I would absolutely come back! read more

If you're looking for a quick bite along the Pacific coast highway between Dana Point and Laguna Beach this is your spot! You order your dish and they bring it out to your table. Very quick. Service and food was good. It's in a shopping area so you may find other stores of interest. It was not busy when I went so it lacked ambiance. It could be totally different at another time. read more

I've been to this location for many many years and I've never had this happen before....I added chicken to my veggie Quesadilla and was charged for it.

Five Stars for food and service tho! read more

La Sirena for the win- again! One of the managers; Miguel is the absolute best. What a nice guy. He's on top of things and the current staff is super great too. The food is always made fresh, and they will always make substitutions if needed. Their Poblano Enchiladas are incredible- a favorite of ours! Highly recommend La Sirena for some good, clean, fresh Mexican food. And the beer list is always on point!! read more

We always have a great experience at this location. I've been here 5 times I the last month and haven't been disappointed by the service, food quality or portions. I've had the burrito, enchilada plate, tacos - fish, beef, chicken. Among the three, I thought the chicken was a bit bland and dry. The beef and blackened fish have always been on point. The bar had all kinds of options and they have a solid rotating beer list. The house Marg never disappoints. Reading the other reviews, I'm surprised by some of the complaints because I've never had any of the issues mentioned. But I've never had a takeout order from this location either. Maybe they are "hit or miss" but up till now I haven't experienced a miss. read more

My 2nd time here today and first and last time I would dine here. I had a chicken fajita plate which included black beans and rice, no cheese. It lacked flavor and presentation.

La Sirena is a classic--and still hits the same after all these years. I've been coming here since I was a kid, back when it first opened, and it's still just as good today. The food is consistently great, the tacos are always a hit (especially the chicken and carne asada), and the salsa bar is legendary. They've got a solid beer selection, super friendly service, and the kind of local vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. The sopas are awesome too--don't skip them. La Sirena is a Laguna staple. Protect it at all costs read more

By far the worst, boring, flavorless taco's I have ever had. We were very hungry while we were at the Montage beach across the street. Unfortunately the choices were slim to none. How bad can a taco be? Overstuffed was with flavorless cabbage on a so called "hand made tortilla" that tasted like wet napkin! Why doesn't management/owners go down the street & taste what a real, delicious taco tastes like at The Taco Stand, Stillwater, Baja Fresh Taco's or Lupe's, etc! Wasted our money & would never in a millions years go back...it's what you add to the tacos that enhances the flavor... read more

Only had the veggie enchilada, but was very delish. Cheese pull was there. Vegetables were there. Vibes were there.

Locals absolute favorite. Food is fresh and delicious all the time. Customer service is excellent and the environment is relaxing and inviting. read more

La Sirena is that cozy place that serves impeccable Mexican with fresh ingredients, their Cadillac margaritas are next level, especially when Adrian is behind the bar!! Everyone here is incredibly friendly, even the fellow patrons! I always leave with new found friends! This is where I take all of my visiting family and friends after some fun in the sun across the street. They always ask to go back when they revisit! My go-to is the chicken nachos, which are the best I've had in CA! And of course a refreshing Caddy Marg. They also have a great selection of local craft beers and even wine if that's your thing. My mom loves the salmon salad (personally I would never when the opportunity for fabulous Mexican food is available, but she raves about it!) My only gripe is that they don't have delivery service, they'd have a lot more of my business in the times when I can't get away from my work. But I love these guys and recommend to anyone who asks, so here I am recommending to you! Go now!! read more

Love their food! They always use fresh, high quality ingredients. My favorite dishes are the salmon salad and blackened fish tacos.

I love this neighborhood spot. Great place to stop on the way home from the beach and grab a margarita chips and guac. I recommend the crispy tacos and the guava margarita. read more

I've eaten here 2-3 times a week for months now and the last few times my burrito has been TINY I mean so small for the price. I can't justify it anymore as much as as I want to buy local. I found a piece of blue plastic in my burrito once and let it go. Kept supporting, but the portions are small now and the toppings you pay more for are tiny as well. Disappointed read more
