I don't think I was fully prepared for what was about to happen when I sat down at this Mexican restaurant, because what started as a normal meal quickly turned into something borderline spiritual. Everything was going great--the atmosphere, the service, all of it--but then the chips and salsa arrived. At first, it seemed standard: warm, crispy chips and a fresh-looking salsa. But the moment I took a bite, it genuinely felt like my entire sense of taste reset. The salsa had this perfect balance of heat, acidity, and freshness that was almost unreal. It wasn't just good--it was the kind of flavor that makes you stop mid-conversation and just process what just happened. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that after a few more bites, I fully transcended. Time stopped meaning anything. The noise of the restaurant faded out. It felt like I had a direct, life-changing encounter with something greater than myself... all through a bowl of salsa. I just sat there in silence, staring at the table, trying to comprehend how something so simple could taste that incredible. Apparently, I was gone for a while. Long enough that the staff started to get concerned. Next thing I know, I'm being gently brought back to reality by one of the servers asking if I was okay. I tried to explain what I had just experienced, but I don't think "I just met God through your salsa" is something they hear every day. At that point, I may have still been a little too overwhelmed to function like a normal person, because the staff actually ended up helping me out the door. Not in a bad way--they were super kind about it--but I think they could tell I was still processing whatever just happened. Even now, I'm not entirely sure how to explain it, but I do know one thing: that was not just a meal. That was an experience. And if you go, just be warned--the chips and salsa might change you. read more

Laguna Grill - Me eating a chip - Mexican Near Me - Manson, Washington

This might be the most incredible restaurant I have ever went too. To make this review as short as possible, It was the most eye opening experience and I can not recommend it more. The Chef, such an amazing man, he tought me how to end world hunger and start world peace. I still have dreams about that man performing miracles to everyone else who comes in. Food was top notch and brought tears to my eyes. Simply the greatest place that exists. read more

Great Mexican spot! I loved the endless chips and pico style salsa. I got the asada burrito and it was excellent, well balanced ratio of meat, refried beans, rice, and guacamole - I did need a whole cup of salsa to go with it though! Service was attentive and it was great to be able to sit outside. read more

Was not expecting to have some of the best Mexican food I've ever had in Manson, WA. Everything was fantastic from the chips and fresh salsa to our cocktails. The pineapple jalapeno Rita had the perfect amount of spice. The chipotle shrimp relleno earns this a 5 star alone. Get an order of their fresh corn tortillas! read more

Laguna Grill by Marcela's is a fantastic addition to the lake dining scene. This is the family's second restaurant, following the long-standing local favorite, Marcela's in downtown Chelan. Their new location in downtown Manson brings something special to the table with elevated dishes and family recipes that go far beyond typical Americanized Mexican fare. We have always been very pleased with the service. Some of our favorites include the Camarones a la Margarita Shrimp, Camarones Chipotle y Carne, Tacos de Chorizo Fundido, and the Laguna Caesar. Every dish we've tried has been packed with flavor and beautifully presented. You really can't go wrong here. Pro tip: you can commute by boat and park at the Manson Bay public day dock. From there, it's a short walk up to Laguna Grill and other great spots in downtown Manson. Highly recommended. read more

Came into check this place out for dinner last night. It has nice decor and we sat at the bar as it was busy. The green salsa served with the chips literally had no spice. I ordered the Tacos Eldorado with beef. My buddy who is from Mexico ordered the wings when they wouldn't let him order a fish taco and a shrimp taco combo. He even offered to pay additional since it wasn't offered as a combo. After 45 minutes our dinner was served. My tacos were bland in flavor and had soggy texture. My buddies wings were good but again lacked in spice. We ordered frozen strawberry Margaritas. They were not sweet and instead of a lime garnish had an orange on top. In my opinion Laguna grill was Boujee and lacked authentic Mexican flare. I'm assuming it's due to the clientele of the seasonal community. The staff was very nice. read more

Best Mexican food in Chelan! This place has very upscale Mexican food with options you don't often see at other places. I had their Angel's Special which was a decadent plate of rice topped with carne Asada, chicken, chopped chorizo links, onions, peppers, mushrooms, cheese and sauce. They have delicious house made salsas that are not your typical salsas. They have a full bar and NA options. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside with hip atmosphere and outside seating. Our server Dylan was very friendly, knowledgeable and checked on us often. This will definitely be a stop any time we are in Chelan. It's awesome! read more

We had a fantastic experience at Laguna Grill! We were a party of six, and they were incredibly kind and accommodating in fitting us in especially since we didn't have a reservation. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious -- truly authentic Mexican flavors. I had fajitas and my cousin had mushroom tacos, then my uncle had the best burrito I have ever tasted. Also all three of the kids had virgin margaritas. Our table agreed It was some of the best Mexican food in eastern Washington. Everyone in our group loved their meals. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great Mexican food and warm hospitality! read more

The food is excellent and unique! As for drinks, I recommend the la flaca! There are other Mexican options in the tiny town of Manson ('Oaxicana' is also good), but this is the stand out option. read more

Laguna Grill is a wonderful new addition to downtown Manson. Marcela, owner of downtown Chelan's legendary Marcela's Cocina Mexicana has created a unique offering of fantastic dishes to satisfy any palate and budget. From the fantastic salsa, great varieties of unique small plates, and of course traditional favorites, everyone will be satisfied. Nicely appointed indoor seating as well as limited outdoor seating offers great options. There's plenty of parking nearby. Although recently opened, it's already a big hit and gets busy quickly, even mid-week. We'll certainly be back...often. read more

Monday night dinner at Laguna Grill. First visit and will be back! Service was friendly and they took good care of us. For appetizers we had chips/salsa and guacamole with bean dip. We ordered shrimp fajitas, carne asade tacos, and Angels special with a coke and margaritas to wash it all down! For dessert homemade flan and churros cart! The blue corn tortillas are homemade. Delicious! read more

We were in Manson for vacation and loved the Laguna Grill! We came for dinner once, and drinks 3 times and got dessert every night! The Apple Tart is must! The staff was amazing, loved the atmosphere, and the food was impeccable! read more

I see all the great reviews of this restaurant unfortunately that was not my experience. The staff were friendly and great but the food did not measure up. I ordered the pollo ala creama which tasted very strange. I don't know what they used for the cream (maybe condensed milk) but it was nothing like I had tasted before. I live in Yakima home of many great Mexican restaurants and ordered this dish many times before. This was just off. The salsa was raw tomatillos. Great in chili verde but not in salsa. The margaritas looked delicious. I hope this place makes it because it is a prime location. I would just go for the drinks. read more

My friends and I went to Laguna Grill tonight for dinner. We were promptly greeted and given our choice of tables. The inside is small but cozy, and tastefully decorated. Our waitstaff was friendly and attentive. The quesa-birria that I ordered was very good, as was my mango margarita. One friend's drink took quite awhile to come out; when they finally brought it out, they apologized profusely and said it was on the house. When we went to pay, they ended up comping us for all but one drink (and we had 5 altogether!) because they said they were short-staffed and appreciated our patience. Will definitely return to this place next time I'm in Chelan! read more

We recently visited Laguna Grill and were very pleased with our food and the service there. My husband was particularly impressed with the meal he ordered, the Carne Asada dinner. Lots of well seasoned, tender meat that was delicious. The vegetables that accompanied the meal were a yummy compliment to it along with homemade blue corn tortillas beans and rice. I have a restriction to my diet and the staff was very considerate regarding that. Our server, Dillon, was attentive to our needs and provided excellent service! Next time we are in Manson we will definitely be back! read more

Food here is incredible. You will not be disappointed. So blessed and thankful to have Marcella here in Manson as well. read more

Living in Mexico a majority of the year, t's not often I find a Mexican restaurant in the states that is remarkable, but Laguna Grill is outstanding. Everything from the greeting and service to the unique and delicious dishes, the entire experience was A+. Will definitely come back whenever I'm in Manson again. Our party had an carne asada burrito, angel's special and Marcela's chicken salad. Oh, and the salsa is bomber! read more

Got a tip from a coworker on this restaurant. Over the years I've been to somewhere between a third and half of the total Mexican restaurants and food trucks in Chelan and Manson. So when a new place shows up and is already getting good reviews, I needed to try it out. If I remember correctly, this location used to be a pizza place. It was happening for a Wednesday evening. The interior is a little tight, with tables in the front and limited bar seating, and some tables in the back. Service was good with a little bit of slowness getting our bill to us at the end. The food here is a level up for the generally Americanized Mexican food sit down restaurants in the area. Fresh with better ingredients and a step towards authenticity in their recipes. Sampled was a pina colada drink, fish tacos, and a carne asada burrito. All were really good! We had to wait outside in the heat for a half an hour in order to be seated. All in all, I give them a 4.6. This is a good quality restaurant in Manson, which is always appreciated. read more

Blown away by how great this restaurant is. Last night here in town and Laguna Grill did not disappoint. The drinks were so refreshing, the servers so friendly and the food was a 10/10, and I have had a lot of Mexican food in my life. The chipotle cream sauce was the best I have ever had. Will be back again most definitely. read more

Incredible food, drinks, service! New go-to spot in town.Highly recommend checking it out!

This place is amazeballs! We were greeted immediately upon entry and showed to a table. The chips-n-salsa arrived momentarily and was delicious. I ordered the berry-tini and my husband ordered a pear (something I can't remember). Both were very natural flavor forward and awesome! For dinner; the hubs got a crab and shrimp burrito and I got the mole chicken enchiladas. Presentation was great and the food even better! Highly recommend! Great to have this dining option in dtn Manson! read more
