My girls and I had dinner to celebrate our best friends engagement and its was a great experience. To start off Jacob our waiter did and amazing job! He made sure we were satisfied and had what we needed at all times. The food was flavorful, and big portions. The drinks were also very good and made just right! The dessert we got was the flight and I dont eat cake but their cake was one of the best. My friends and I will definitely be going back. Also the ambiance was perfect. A well designed restaurant that I highly recommend. read more

My family and I went to Lagos Mexican Cuisine in Fullerton for Mother's Day to celebrate my wife for the Outstanding job she does as the matriarch of our family. I have to say that we had a wonderful time eating some scrumptious food! Everything was prepared to our satisfaction and tasted absolutely delicious! My daughter (my Princess) had Birria Al Vapor which were seasoned perfectly. She really loved her dish! My wife (my Queen) had fluffy Waffles with tasty scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. She was totally satisfied as well! I had the combination Flajitas Flat Iron with tender chicken breast meat, juicy sautéed shrimp, and moth watering steak. My meal was Bomb!! Both the Flajitas and the Birria Al Vapor came with rice and beans as well and were quite filling! Lagos gets an A+ for the food for sure!! We were fortunate enough to have Rene Gonzalez as our waiter and he took excellent care of us. He was pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. He took his job seriously and seemed to enjoy every minute of what he was doing. He kept our drinks refilled and ensured that we had everything that we needed and wanted to enjoy our meal at this establishment! Shout out to you Rene, as well as all of the other waiters and waitresses who worked and also stopped by our table during our meal to see if we needed anything . It was awesome to see everyone working together and getting along so well! I can see how this place can be so popular because of staff like these guys!! Thanks to you all for handling such a busy day with professionalism, grace and warm smiles while doing so! This is truly commendable! We will definitely be back! As far as the ambiance is concerned, Lagos is a stunningly beautiful building on the inside and outside! It has beautiful arches and high ceilings which are adorned with authentic sculptures and pristine lighting. There is ample seating in various sections of the expansive restaurant, with comfortable seating both inside and outside! The atmosphere is warm and comforting, and all patrons seemed to enjoy their stay while eating and fellowshipping together! This was totally Awesome!! We had a swell time and would like to highly recommend Lagos in Fullerton to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, in a professional, friendly and absolutely beautiful restaurant!! Nicely done guys!!! Especially you Rene!!! read more

Lagos Mexican Cuisine - Mexican Near Me - Fullerton, California

I'll preface that we went for Mother's Day so I knew it would be busy, but I'm not sure if that was the case here. We had a 6:15 reservation and were sat around 6:45. The restaurant looked half full, and they had staff walking around but I feel like our service was pretty slow. We were ready to order but nobody checked on us for a while and we didn't start eating until around 7:45-8pm. The food was mid-tier and I don't think the taste of the food justifies the prices. My salad had a really strong manchego dusting and that's all I could really taste. The real upside was that it is pretty inside, but not pretty enough to warrant a return to this establishment. read more

Second time at Lagos and it delivered again. What do you do when Cinco de Mayo falls on Taco Tuesday. Go have tacos at Lagos, por supuesto? We've had Rene as our server both visits, and he's been outstanding each time. He was running both the bar and the floor--clearly busy--but you'd never know it from the level of service. Attentive, friendly, professional, and dialed in the whole night. Jacob, his assistant, was just as knowledgeable and helpful. Service is a solid 5/5--our water glasses never went empty. Drinks were on point across the board. The Presidential Margaritas, Paloma, and jalapeño margarita were all excellent, and their tequila selection is strong. Food is consistently good, but the standout surprise is the Chilean sea bass--easily the best dish I've had on the menu so far. Tacos are solid as well. I noticed they offer steaks, and that's definitely next on my list for a return visit. Great experience both times. If you go, ask for Rene--you'll be taken care of. read more

S/o to our awesome server Thanya! She was really helpful and sweet! This place is gorgeous! Definitely feels like an upscale Mexican restaurant! The presentation of the good also fits the vibe! The food was pretty good. From what we ordered the Brussel Sprouts were our favorite! It's kind of wack they don't offer complimentary chips & salsa... we had to pay and lowkey the salsas weren't incredible to justify having to order chips & salsa. This is a place you go to on a date to make your date feel special or for a meal with an elegant setting. read more

Lagos Mexican Cuisine - Mole Enchiladas & Yucatan Shrimp Enchiladas & Brussel Sprouts - Mexican Near Me - Fullerton, California

Let me start by saying I loved the dim lighting--the vibe and ambiance were definitely on point. I came here for a friend's birthday, and the decor really set the mood for a nice night out. We ordered margaritas, and while I don't remember the exact name, our waiter hyped it up as a popular choice... unfortunately, it was way too sweet. I still drank it because I don't like sending things back, but it wasn't what I was hoping for. When we asked for recommendations, he kept emphasizing presentation over flavor--which was a bit frustrating. I care more about taste than how it looks. For dinner, I ordered the Nayarit mango salad with steak, and that was actually very flavorful--probably the highlight of the meal. However, things went downhill when we got the bill. I was charged $39.99 for my salad with steak, which didn't make sense. The menu listed the salad at $15.99, with steak as an additional charge (around $8), so the total shouldn't have been anywhere near that. I brought it up, and after I questioned it, the waiter came back with an explanation about a "Valentine's special"... which didn't really add up considering we're almost in April. The price was eventually adjusted, but the situation left a bad impression. It felt like I had to catch an error that shouldn't have happened in the first place. Overall: great ambiance and decor, decent food, but the service and billing issue really threw me off. Will I come back? Probably not. read more

Lagos Mexican Cuisine - Nayarit Mango Salad w/ steak - Mexican Near Me - Fullerton, California

FOOD: 3/5 Premium Black Angus Tomahawk 5/5 Fried Calamari 2/5 Tacos Asada 2/5 Salmon We ordered their famous 40 oz Tomahawk steak ($175) . The wow factor really comes with the presentation - the 40 oz bone in steak came with a flair where it actually charred and sliced right at our table - very instagrammable in that sense. The steak is huge and easily feeds 2 or maybe 3 people with side orders. Initially, the meat had a distinct taste, likely from herbs or spices I wasn't used to. We asked to have it re-cooked a bit more in the kitchen, and it came out good the second time. My husband was hoping for the Chilean Sea Bass, but only the salmon was available that evening.Unfortunately, both the salmon and the carne asada tacos didn't taste quite as fresh as we expected. Even the chips seemed like they have been sitting out, though our server was very kind and brought us a fresh batch when we asked. SERVICE: 5/5 We came on a Wednesday for 6 pm reservation. Brianna - our server was incredibly professional and attentive. AMBIANCE: 3/5 It is a large space, but the place is more understated rather than the high-end, elegant vibe I was expecting. Plenty of parking spots including a nearby parking structure. read more

Lagos Mexican Cuisine - Mole enchiladas were delicious - Mexican Near Me - Fullerton, California

We came in here really wanting to like this place. My first drink that was a Mazapan Martini was so delicious with a beautiful flower on top. The second time I ordered the same drink it tasted the same but looked different. Was sad that the look of the drink was not consistent. We ordered a Patron flight that nobody could drink because it wasn't good at all. So disappointing. We had a party of 12 people that we called and made reservations for ahead of time. I had the Mar Y Tiera (surf & turf), and it was flavorless. I've had better steaks at Texas Roadhouse. Lobster had no flavor. Some of our party received their food. Others were waiting a while to get their food and one person received his food when everyone else was just about done eating. The service was really lacking big time with drinks, food, and all. Even though the restaurant was nearly empty. We were also excited to order the large hanging steak that they light on fire in front of you, but even that was anti climatic. The guy doing it looked so miserable that it just made it a sad experience. We did complain and a manager came and tried to fix things, but it was honestly too late. Some of us ordered desserts just to try them but we were already full cause we ate the food anyways cause we were hungry, that dessert was just a shot at redemption for this place. Sadly the dessert fell flat too. The manager brought us a free dessert plate but we were already too full to eat it. It was just pointless. Sad to say that we wouldn't come here again and I really hope they work on their service, consistency, and quality. Thank you to the manager who seemed to be the happiest person working there but please lift your staff up too. read more

Lagos Mexican Cuisine - Ambiance on the next level - Mexican Near Me - Fullerton, California

We were thoroughly very pleased with the dinner we had on Saturday evening. I made reservations to be safe but at 5pm on a Saturday, you don't really have to worry about seating availability. The hostess and server and bartender were all so nice and attentive. Plenty of seating inside and it looks like there are additional rooms to the side of the bar. Not sure if they're private though. We ordered the scallops for our appetizer and some cocktails to start off. The scallops were served on a bed of veggies and rice. I thought it was just decor however, it was the most amazing addition to the scallops. We licked the plate clean! For dinner, I ordered the shrimp enchiladas. I would've hoped for some cheese inside the enchilada, that would be my only gripe, but the plate itself was amazing. The beans I did not care for as much. We are looking forward to our future visit here for sure! read more

Lagos Mexican Cuisine - Mexican Near Me - Fullerton, California

I actually really wanted to LOVE this place. I am a believer of giving things one more try because they could've just had an off night. I did order the Sol de Pasion, the first drink which I ordered for my friend was PERFECT! Then I ordered one and another round for my friend and it was too sweet. While we waited for the server to come back to us we did get our food and appetizers. The Tres Amigos Guac was really just an order of three of the same guacamoles with different toppings. Blah! It also needed salt and pepper and some lemon/lime! The ribeye plate came I ordered mine with shrimp scampi which wasn't on the menu...they brought it as a side dish on my ribeye plate and not as a side smothered in the butter creamed sauce that I saw on Yelp which is why I asked for it...granted it's not on the menu but something they've made as a special before and it was a hit so it's on the secret menu and they will make if you ask. I will say this dish blew my mind but needs more sauce. The ribeye...oh the ribeye...I would've been better with the tomahawk but I figured the ribeye is BUT a smaller portion of that and will do good for me. WRONG!!! NO taste! Very thin cut with too much marbling. We even told the server more seasoning is needed, whether it be salt or pepper. She brought us more scampi sauce which my friend requested which we loved and went well over the steak or just to dip. I just believe this place has potential to be better. Service was hot and cold. We were the first table there "but" service still ran wrong. Hard to imagine that service wasn't up to par when we were the first people there and later on there were 3 tables. I had to flag someone down and that was even after having my drink for a while and the food coming. Once I did get her attention, she did remake the drinks with less of the passion fruit sweetener which again was perfect! The only amazing thing about this place is the stunning view! It's extremely beautiful. I think maybe next time because I will give it one more try maybe in the far, far future, I will try their tacos or enchiladas. Maybe that's what they're know for although they said it was their steaks. I also regret tipping 18% for a service not so well done. Oh well...next time. I didn't even think about it because I was having a good time catching up. read more

This is my third visit, and with a friend who hasn't been here before. We enjoyed ourselves so much tonight. The libations, appetizers and entrées were spot on. Packed full of flavor, and just beautifully presented. The Chilean Seabass is what the both of us ordered, and it was like butter. Both Brianna and Tanya waited on us, and neither one of them missed a beat. We were never left thirsty nor having to ask for anything. They brought water often, and checked on us several times. And the vibe and ambience of this place never disappoints. It is always super romanticky, girly vibe, could be on a first date could be on a break up date, could be on your birthday, graduation party, brunch it doesn't matter there's never a bad time to be here. read more

This Mexican restaurant and bar in downtown Fullerton is so stylish and beautiful. We came in for a late brunch originally but the brunch service has ended already. So we got regular dinner menu instead. The menu was big with a lot of seafood choices. Also limited gluten free items. We chose to sit at a booth in the main dining room which was spacious and relaxing. We had Patton silver margaritas and lemon iced tea as beverages. For food we decided on chips & salsa, red snapper, rack of lamb with zucchini & mushrooms, also corn tamale as a side. The food was absolutely delicious in big portions! We loved the special tamale that chef made for us. The strawberry tres leches was the best I've ever had! We enjoyed the food and drinks so much. The service was so friendly and attentive. A fantastic Mexican restaurant that we will visit again real soon! read more

I really wish I could give Lagos a better review. Beautiful atmosphere, food was good, craft cocktails very good. Unfortunately service was not good. Very very slow, the restaurant was not busy even though we went on Easter afternoon. We had an entire section to ourselves, we were a party of 8. The manager came to our table to help take orders but even he disappeared. We sat for almost 2 hrs and the very large empty table behind us was never bused it had dirty dishes, cups and food that sat. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is for the ambiance, food and drinks. read more

If you love s&!* in your shrimp, this is the place for you. Piles of poop veins as far as the eye can see. You'll be in heaven. Peep game, I'll circle back to that in a bit. It was valentines day and to their credit they were completely running on schedule. We arrived early but were seated essentially by res time. The hostess was nice and professional, the wait staff more of the same. The ambiance was aight. Cool lighting, I enjoyed sitting next to the little tree. All in all, not bad. There was a set menu for V-Day, which I hadn't anticipated but I should have. My bad. Alas, there's ceviche as an option, all is right with the world. But this is where the tale turns diabolical: If you're serving ceviche (fish, shrimp, or both), there should at least be tostadas or crackers. That's pretty standard, and without it the dish is awkward to eat and lacks contrast. The other issue with their shrimp ceviche even had it been fecal-free is that the shrimp were so large (basically prawn-sized) and poorly cut that the citrus only "cooked" the outside. The centers were still translucent and raw, with that slick, undercured texture. Def nauseating and not the vibe to experience when chewing crustacean. For context, my husband's fish ceviche was actually very good, which made this even more confusing. It's not like the kitchen can't execute-- it's just like they didn't even try here. The cocktails were aight. Spirit-forward citrus bombs. I won't complain about a stiff drink though. But yeah... between the undeveined shrimp and the undercured centers, I couldn't eat my plate. Not the vibe. read more

Came here on a Saturday looking for tacos and was surprised to find it practically empty. The place has a very classy feel to it. Think Red O in Newport Beach vibes. We tried all the tacos on the menu and will say the pastor was probably my favorite. They had steaks and lobster on their full menu so we'll definitely need to come back and try that out to really get a feel for the restaurant. The service was awesome and they had a lot of great looking drinks. The one thing I will say is the portions for the tacos are on their small side but I wouldn't expect anything less from a fancy Mexican restaurant! Overall food was good. Probably wouldn't come here with all the kids like I did but it seems like a great place for a date night!! read more

Walking into Lagos felt like walking into the perfect first date scene in a rom-com - vibey lighting, upbeat music, and that subtle confidence like "yeah, this night is gonna be good." First, the aguachile - honestly, it was like meeting someone who actually listens on a date. Fresh, tangy, spicy, and so good it gave me butterflies. Then came the tomahawk steak, which basically could have swept me off my feet. Think Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome but in steak form - epic, juicy, dramatic entrance and all. ... well. I imagine it that way because we didn't order it, the table next to us did and it was a full on cabaret show when it was presented to the group. And don't even get me started on the mezcal flight. Smooth, smoky, and perfect - like that final rom-com scene kiss that makes you believe in love again. Overall, Lagos is the type of place you come back to again and again. Because let's be real - when you find something (or someone) this good, why would you let it go? read more

The 1st time coming here on a Sunday Funday and I must every thing was spectacular! We came for the hanging 40 ounce tomahawk and words can not describe the juicy, perfectly cooked and sliced steak. The chili-churi sauce was so good and was a perfect taste. We also got the lobster Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes for sides and both were very tasty, scrumptious and comforting today. The vibe and staff in place is phenomenal. The presentation chef was friendly and talkative to bring some recommended side sauces. I enjoyed coming here so much. I've never seen a real olive tree growing in restaurant and that was cool with the Versace mansion setting. read more

About two weeks ago, a friend and I finally decided to try this restaurant since it's close to home and had been on our list for a while. I had read mixed review, great ambiance, but not-so-great (and pricey) food, but we figured we'd give it a shot anyway. First off, the place is super cute and the ambiance definitely lives up to the hype. We were seated right away, and they brought out chips and salsa pretty quickly. The chips were really good, but the salsa tasted like it came straight from a can. For food, I ordered the tacos, and honestly, they were nothing to write home about. My friend ordered the mole enchiladas, but the mole tasted really off--nothing like anything we've had before. To their credit, the staff was nice and replaced the dish with green enchiladas, but those were pretty underwhelming too--mostly just tasted like plain tomatillo sauce. Overall, if you're looking for a cute spot to grab drinks and enjoy the vibe with friends, this could be a good option. But if you're going for the food, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. The quality just didn't match the price--we spent around $160 for tacos, enchiladas, and four drinks, which felt pretty steep for what we read more

This was my first time here and I was kind of excited. This place looked so beautiful and the food looked good too. I know it's Mother's Day and the restaurant is busy but we did not have good service at all. Our server took our orders and that was basically it. I saw him pass by us so many times. Never checked in on us to let us know our food was taking a little long. Never checked in on us to see if we wanted refills on our drinks. By the time our food came out it was already cold. When we finished eating we just sat at our table waiting for our server to come back but he never actually came to our table. He just kept passing by us. I finally stopped the person who was expediting the food to see if we could get our check. I'm not complaining about the food because the food did still taste good but the service should've been better. read more

We enjoyed our first visit with the incredible server, Tanya who advised us to try some of her favorites because everything looked so good! She passed the first test with warm chips & Fabulous salsa! The appetizer with spiced grilled shrimp on a bed of Creamed corn was delicious, the baramundi on mashed potatoes & broccolini-amazingly perfect. We filled up on the food, but still Enjoyed the margarita flight-4 full-sized glasses! Sadly- no room for dessert. We definitely will return!!! read more

I'd go back and maybe re rate if I can try the dinner read more

The ambiance and food/drinks were great but the service was horrible. It was not busy for a Saturday night and we were seated right away but had to flag down a waiter after about 20 minutes of no one checking on us just so we could order. Then another 30 minutes go by and we had to flag down another waiter to ask where our drinks/food was. Finally got our ceviche and it was great. First time I've gotten food before I got drinks. After a while someone else checked on us and we were able to ask for more chips. Once we go the drinks they were as good as I'd heard, but not worth the wait. Never did figure out who our actual waiter was. Then when we paid the bill they told me my card was declined. So embarrassing. I never got a notification. Called my card the next day and there was no issue, they said the merchant declined and I could ask them to try the card again. No thank you. Will not be going back. read more

This restaurant is beautiful especially the bar area. There is live music on Friday evening. However, I left disappointed with their service and food. It took more than 20 minutes to get the Último beso drink ($17.99) when all the other drinks already arrived. The restaurant was not busy at the time that the drinks were ordered. The waiters honestly forgot about our large party. Needed to ask multiple times for refills of water. The drinks at this place are fantastic. The margarita flight ($28.99) is a great option for trying different types of flavors. The food is a different story. Ordered the pesto pasta with chicken since it is a specialty and honestly it fell flat. There is a reason why you should not order pasta at a Mexican restaurant. The server who flambéed the tabilta ($49.99) was the nicest person but he wasn't our waiter. If you want a place to only drink and have nice pictures, this place is for you. I would not recommend the food. It is not worth it. read more

Everything about Lagos is great. When you walk in, it has a club vibe and it's a grand entrance. Once we were seated, we ordered a round of the Mexican Candy shooter and did not regret that!!!! So yum! Once we ordered our food & received it.... Even more yum. Every single dish (and there were 5 of us) was soooooo good! It's been a week now and we keep bringing it up... each one of us, on separate occasions. That's actually what reminded me to write this review. After the 4th mention... I had to write this review to give Lagos their due!!! We will definitely be returning so we can all be filled with deliciousness once again and again and again. read more

Worst dining experience I've ever had. We came here for Mother's Day and were seated within minutes but then waited over 10 minutes without a server no greeting, no water, nothing until I finally got up and asked for water myself. Even after that, our drinks took another 15 minutes to arrive. When we ordered our food, the wait was excessive. It took over 40 minutes to be served, and to make matters worse, one of the orders was incorrect. Our server was nowhere to be found most of the time; other servers had to stop by and ask if we needed anything. I spoke with the manager about the poor service, and he blamed it on being busy, even though most of the table around us were empty. He even admitted it was less busy by then. Our bill totaled over $200, and the manager only offered $25 off, which felt inadequate given the experience. Overall, this was extremely disappointing!! I would avoid this place at all costs! You'll get better service at a much lower-end restaurant. read more
