    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    Mole Enchiladas & Yucatan Shrimp Enchiladas & Brussel Sprouts

    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.

    Nayarit Mango Salad w/ steak
    Jazel M.

    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.

    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.

    Mole enchiladas were delicious

    Food was really good. We will definitely come back to try something new. The service was excellent. Shout out to Rene and Tonya who were on top of it.

    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.

    Ambiance on the next level

    Great service! Make sure to ask for Tanya she's very professional, we had the filet minion, beans and shrimps, my wife Elim had the chicken, pictures to follow, the ambulance is on a different level and the food was good too

    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!

    Geo and Rene are simply the best!!! They were very attentive and accommodating for our large party that kept getting even larger as people got here late. They gave us the back room and it's was so private and made our two birthday celebrations even more special. Thank you so much!!!! You both went out of your way for us. We will be back soon! We highly recommend the mimosas flights! Look what happened lol....

    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.

    Revolucion Cantina & Mezcaleria has a revolutionary taco Tuesday…read more... It's not a big restaurant but they spaced it out great and have a great bar,western, Hispanic vibe to the whole place. I loved the artwork and photos with frames. The service was great, between the bartenders, check in and our host we were always tended to and asked how we are enjoying our experience. Now.. when I heard taco buffet... I'll admit I was skeptical. So when my buddie suggested this for our foodie group I figured give it a shot. I'll start by saying ... I'd go every Tuesday lol it was a simple buffet they had every meat you needed, the carne asada was good, the chicken was good, the barbacoa was friggin delicious my favorite was the Al pastor. And the mushrooms ... usually at buffets have dry or oily food and this was pretty damn good to be honest. I think it's a solid business plan to do taco Tuesday like this. On top of all that the mini churros were good, the salsas were delicious. The chips were alright I think that's the only thing that was ok for me but overall I enjoyed myself very much. ALSO!!! The mango margarita!!! PERFECTION!!!!!

    OC's Best AYCE Taco Tuesday?!…read more All day Tuesday from 11 am to 10 pm, Revolucion Cantina in downtown Fullerton, CA, is the place to be! It's a taco lover's paradise where you can build your dream tacos--or even nachos with crispy chicharrones. It's wild, and guess what I made? Chicharrón nachos! My no-carb-loving husband was ultra jealous. The options at this taco Tuesday bar are seriously impressive--at least six different proteins, nacho cheese, pozole, all kinds of salsas and toppings, plus four flavors of agua fresca to try. And to top it all off, you can end your meal with crispy, sweet churros! This spot is definitely worth checking out, especially on Tuesdays. Come out and have some fun!

While the carnitas were tender, they weren't as juicy as I hoped. They provided only three tortillas that lost their warmth quickly in parchment paper. The rice had a good texture that had the right amount of firmness. I also tried the guacamole, which had a somewhat fluffy texture with a pleasantly light and savory flavor. While not affecting my review of this restaurant, I wish they served a mole dish.
