This place is AMAZING! The first time I came here, I tried their brunch and absolutely loved it. I finally had the opportunity to come back and try their dinner menu, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the chargrilled octopus with grilled asparagus, and my husband had the arrachera steak with a side of the taco kit and potatoes. Everything was delicious and full of flavor! The service was amazing, the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food, and the ambiance is top tier. Everything from the food to the atmosphere made for such a great experience. Corona definitely needed a restaurant like this! Such a great addition to the area, and we'll definitely be coming back! read more

We visited Lalo's at Dos Lagos for date night and had a good overall experience. We had a reservation and were seated in a booth as requested. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the drinks were very good. We shared the salmon, octopus, guacamole, and a pork dish. The salmon and pork were tasty. The octopus was too chewy for us, though our server kindly offered to take it back we kindly declined. The guacamole was different from the traditional style I expected, not bad, just not quite to my taste. The restaurant is beautiful, but the bright lighting made it feel more like a cafeteria than a cozy date-night spot. A dimmer atmosphere and more noticeable background music could make the experience feel warmer. Overall, we enjoyed the food and service enough that we'd consider coming back. The octopus probably wouldn't make our next order, but I'm glad we tried Lalo's. read more

I was really excited to come here, Corona needs many more places that are new and different. We had reservations for 4 and were seated outside in the bar area which faces a children's playground. Hmm 0 on the ambience scale. Not sure these were the seats to take up and drop $500. The restaurant is pretty but needed some sprucing... all along the patio were dying shrubs not yet planted. We really loved our server Elizabeth who was sweet and timely at every turn. Our Cad Margs were on point. 3 of us shared the short ribs. They were shredded and served at the table, which was a nice touch. Asked if we wanted the bones for our dogs. They were tasty but dry and for $150, I was wishing we ordered tacos. Menu is a bit confusing as it's Asian fusion. Not a huge variety of dishes. I think we would come back for Tacos and cocktails but it's not at the top of the list. read more

Overall it was ok. I was expecting better. Atmosphere was a bit dead and boring. Food was ok only the pork belly taco was amazing. The ceviche was no different from any other campechana cocktail. Nothing popped for you to say, "I want this again" our server was cool, Talked to us about the place and the chef. At best 4 stars because prizes were reasonable read more

This was our first time at Lalo Urban Kitchen, and I have to say, the ambiance is really nice. The servers were very friendly, attentive, and helpful, and our food came out surprisingly fast. Unfortunately, the food itself was a bit disappointing. We ordered the lollipop chicken, surf & turf taco, crispy pork belly taco, and chips & guacamole. We also had two drinks: the Pink Flame Margarita and a beer. Overall, the drinks were definitely the highlight of the meal. The lollipop chicken was probably the biggest disappointment. We took one bite and immediately knew it wasn't for us. It had a very strange flavor that we didn't enjoy, so we asked them to take it back. The crispy pork belly taco, on the other hand, was actually pretty good. No major complaints there. The surf & turf taco was just okay. The sauce was extremely overpowering and tangy, and I didn't feel like the flavors paired well together. The chips and guacamole were another disappointment. The portion of guacamole was decent, not enough for even a fraction of the chips. The chili oil was also way too heavy. I think it would have been much better with just a light drizzle instead of being drenched in it. The chips themselves also didn't taste particularly fresh. Overall, I think this restaurant has potential. The atmosphere is great, the service is friendly, and the drinks were enjoyable, but the food needs quite a bit of work. I don't think we'll be returning for the food, but I'd consider coming back for drinks and the ambiance. read more

I really wanted to like Lalo Urban Kitchen because the ambiance is very nice. The decorations and lighting create a great atmosphere, and they also have outdoor seating. The restaurant looks bigger from the outside than it feels once you walk in. The service was actually great. Our server was attentive, and we never had to keep asking for drink refills. Unfortunately, the food, menu choices, and prices are the reasons for my 1 star review. At first, I didn't even realize this was supposed to be Asian fusion until I saw "bulgogi" on the menu. That confused me because I really didn't see much else on the menu that seemed Asian. At the same time, I was expecting more Mexican options, but there weren't even any burritos. The whole menu concept felt confusing to me, and there weren't many dishes that sounded appealing, especially considering the prices. We ordered the kids tacos, which were supposed to come with a drink, but we never received the included drink. Instead, we were charged $7 for a soda, which I thought was ridiculous. ( I didn't realise the extra charge till we got home). The kids tacos was super small, smaller than street tacos. The strawberry agua fresca was also disappointing. It tasted artificial and didn't taste like it was made with real strawberries. We also tried the pork belly in green mole. The flavor wasn't bad, but the pork belly was definitely overcooked and so tough that it actually hurt my tooth while chewing it. I ended up sharing a plate with my husband because nothing else on the menu really appealed to me, especially at those prices. Everything felt extremely overpriced for the quality and portion of food we received. Nice ambiance and great service, but unfortunately the food, confusing menu, drink charge, and high prices made this a very disappointing experience for us. read more

My husband and I went here tonight for dinner and we LOVED IT! We were a little hesitant at first because we saw the negative reviews on Yelp but we still wanted to give them a shot since they're just opening and figuring things out. We are both so happy we stopped by. We walked in on a Saturday at 5pm without a reservation and got seated right away. The service was great, the drinks were great and the food was delicious. We tried the Surf & Smoke Poppers, Shrimp Quesadilla Shots, Taco Meksiko, Surf & Turf Taco, and the Seafood-Stuffed Poblano. There wasn't a single thing we weren't happy with. We will definitely be returning with some friends! Excited to have a place like this in Corona. read more

This Restaurant is absolutely fabulous 10/10. For starters the environment is very welcoming very nice layout. The staff is friendly and well attentive. Our server Elizabeth was just lovely and gave some great recommendations which i will also recommend to all. The items Items i ordered: Morita Pork Belly appetizer- this plate was amazing the traditional deep fried chicharrón pork belly with its sauce combination was great. It did not need anything added. The seafood ceviche - was flavorful in its broth or caldo. Im so use to having to add a pinch of salt but this was perfect flavor through and through. Texture and taste of the octopus was great. My only complaint on this dish is the serving dish, its should come in a bowl rather than a jumbo schooner. Made it a bit challenging to eat in my opinion i asked for a bowl and our well attended host accommodated our request. Roasted corn and miso soup - Aaammmazing what a combination of flavors. Very well balanced and presentation was great. Garlic Gochujang fried edamame - if you like edamame you will enjoy this asian inspired dish and the spice level was just right. Main entre - Prime arracha Steak I order my steak medium rare and paired this with the roasted corn and asparagus. I did opt to add ginger garlic shrimp. The steak came with a chili oil (not spicy). The steak was well seasoned and cooked to the temperature i ordered. Service 10/10 Staff was polite and very attentive from the moment I walked up. Ambiance 10/10 - come experience it for yourself Food presentation 10/10 - Sorry my pictures were taken after digging into each plate. Food Overall taste 10/10 - I ordered a large variety because everything sounded good. Drinks 8/10 im giving this lower only because I enjoy drank beer and they did not offer smaller size. Only large schooners. I look forward to trying all other dishes and will review them soon. read more

As of 07/24 Lalo they are still in the works of having their grand opening. They are still under their soft opening and with that being said, they have a few kinks to work out. The servers are still learning and figuring things out. And that's why I knocked it down a Star. The service was still great. Abraham was our server and he was very attentive. He had a lot of great recommendations. Everything we had was very tasty. I love how the bar has two sides. One side is outside on the patio and the other side is on the inside. They have great outdoor seating. It's definitely a vibe. We had a party of 6 and we shared everything. The pork belly was soo good. Highly recommend. I will be coming back read more

My family and I visited Lalo's Kitchen shortly before its official opening. There were only about three tables at the time and plenty of staff working, so I was surprised by how slow the service was. We ordered guacamole and chips, but the chips were stale, hard, cold, and served in a very small cup. I mentioned this to the waitress, but she simply said "okay" and did not offer to replace them. The guacamole also had a unique chili topping that was not spicy, but it was not something I would order again. We also ordered two margaritas. They were very strong, so one is definitely enough, but the flavor itself was fairly average. We had two children with us, and although my husband was holding our baby, the waitress never offered us a high chair. Overall, the service felt disorganized and inattentive. Because the appetizers were disappointing and everything was taking so long, we canceled the rest of our food order. I would recommend this place if you are only looking for a strong drink, but based on our experience, I would not recommend it for a full meal. read more

First of all the customer service was amazing. The staff were all so friendly and attentive along with being informative which is impressive because they haven't been open for long. The restaurant has a cute fun vibe for a date night or girls night out. Unfortunately the food and drinks weren't the greatest. We had the guava margarita which tasted just like guava juice. The tacos were dry, cold and not really tasty. However, the jalapeño poppers and tuna tartare were delicious. It is on the pricy end, which I wouldn't mind if either the portions were bigger OR if the food quality was better. I just need a justification for the pricing. Also, the menu is small. I'm hoping they add more items because there aren't much options for Vegans or vegetarians (those that don't eat seafood). I'll have to come back and give it another shot in a few months. read more

Came in on a Tuesday night at 6PM. There were maybe 4 tables when we arrived. Checked in and was asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside, we asked to be seated inside. Waited about 5 minutes to be lead outside. That's fine, minor mistake / miscommunication. We sat and were given menus. Our server came over and greeted us, asked us what drinks we wanted and then proceeded to ask us if we wanted any appetizers. We took a minute to check out the menu. When she came back, we let her know our son had a dairy allergy. She was taking note. We ordered: Aguachile duo - 8/10 Can't really mess up aguachile. Spicier side which was nice but nothing special in flavor. Lalo Taco - 6/10 Not much depth in flavor. Just crispy pork belly Esquite with bone marrow 6/10 Nothing special and on the sweet side Arrechera steak w/ potatoes and asparagus 6/10 Steak was dry and very salted, asparagus bottoms were hard, chili oil is random? The issue happened when the esquite with the bone marrow came out. Seemed to be the kitchens fault. Bone marrow was requested to be put on the side with no dairy. It came out separated, but upon checking it to be sure, it seemed they placed it on the dairy items, and then removed it to a separate plate. It's a severe allergy not a preference. Kitchen should be trained better. They said they would have it fixed and another to be sent out. However, they have a huge window where you can see the kitchen, and it took quite a while it looked like for the message to be relayed correctly. And then we kept seeing a manager back there look annoyed and look at our table. They eventually sent a revised version that we could enjoy. MID MEAL, our server comes over and asks us if we want any dessert... we decline because we have not even gotten half way through the meal. Weird, but whatever. And then a hostess comes up and ASKS if we are paying with cash or card ?? We were not even done eating?? Eventually the server comes back and asks if we're doing okay. Now I'm annoyed. My husband has to ASK for a water refill. She eventually comes back again to check us out where I ask for the manager. She asks me if there was an issue, so I explain what just happened. She takes fault and says she thought we were done because I grabbed my son and it looked like we were packing up to leave. But that doesn't explain why she asked us mid meal about desserts? She then states she can go grab the manager anyway. AFTER FULLY checking us out. She comes back and lets us know he's kind of busy and we can wait for him. We're still finishing up, about 10-15 more minutes. We leave and see them BOTH talking and no one stops us. Didn't seem like they wanted to address the issues. Unprofessional. Would have came back if the service was better. Just weird overall service. They seemed confused but it wasn't busy. Bummer Mr Tempo couldn't open here. Should have went to Miguel's. read more

If you're looking for something like El Torito, move along. I'll start with the atmosphere: I love the current trend of Mexican restaurants with the murals on the walls and greenery throughout. Very reminiscent of restaurants in Mexico. Lively music tops it off, and it's not too loud that I can't hear my wife sitting across from me. The service: excellent service from hostess, server and support staff. Finally, the food: the guacamole is really good, although could use some salt and/or lime. The seafood ceviche is also very good, love the mix of scallops, octopus ask shrimp. The surf and smoke poppers...are you kidding me?! The miso mayo and honey soy sauce seal the seal. Finally, if I could marry the surf and turf taco, I would. All in all, I appreciate in the fusion of Asian and Mexican cuisines, neither one overpowers the other. It's a perfect balance of both. My wife and I can't wait for our next day date to come back and try more. read more

Celebrated our Anniversary at Lalo Urban Kitchen in Corona, Do's Lagos with good food and ambiance.

Second time coming here and will be back! All the servers are friendly and attentive. Restaurant has plenty of seating and has a really nice vibe.

House margaritas are also delicious. read more

Really wanted to like this place, I'm always excited when a new restaurant opens in Corona. Menu is confusing it takes a long time to figure out what you want. I felt like most of it was seafood. Food arrived very quickly, we had a salad, potato spring rolls and a couple of tacos. My husband and I had a couple of margaritas. We didn't love the food and I'm not sure if this is going to take off here in Corona. I don't see us going back. It's almost like they are mixing too many things (Mexican/Asian/Seafood), it's confusing and the food we did order was not impressive. read more

I'm sorry, no offense to the chef, but the Chile Relleno was not so good or well cooked. Friends if you like Mexican food this place is not for you, and if you like Asian food it's not for you either. read more

Brand new and good so far. Pleasing interior and exterior patio and bar. Only had a couple of their appetizers. Ceviche and the chicken lollipops. The ceviche is mixed seafood served in a glass goblet campechana style. It was cold, spicy and delicious. The lollipops were also good. Service was quick and friendly. Will return to try more of the menu. Nice to have another independent dining choice at Dos Lagos. read more

I had such high hopes and my family and I ledt so disappointed. The waitress couldn't answer questions about drinks or the menu, I asked for a taco and needed something removed (it came soaked in it), portions were small (my taco had literally 1.5 shrimp embedded in the oil all over it), overpriced, super small portions and even my basic cocktail was awful.
