I love that I was able to look up their menu online beforehand and it was exactly what was at the restaurant. Parking was easy in their parking lot. Once I placed my order at the counter, I grabbed a table on the patio with my dog. The patio was nice and cozy with plenty of shade. Dac Biet Special Skillet (4/5) - this dish came out sizzling with two sunny side up eggs, filet mignon cubes cooked perfectly, and some cherry tomatoes. I didn't see any pate, but I might have missed it. The baguette was lightly toasted and soaked up the sauce perfectly. Thai Tea Float with oat milk ice cream (5/5) - I got this drink/dessert on a whim because of the oat milk ice cream. I am so glad I got it. The Thai tea was delicious and then the oat milk ice cream was amazing.

Many of the places we tried with good food did not even bother to respond to our emails. Alix with Chuponcito was quick to respond and very actively made sure we had what we needed. I felt we were in great hands during a very stressful time, and even when things got tricky they were able to smooth everything out with ease! The food was amazing, every element was so good it was difficult to stop eating. Highly recommend if you are in need of catering for a big event, or even a nice dinner at home.

I ordered the burrito, and she got the tacos. The burrito was packed with flavorful meat, fresh toppings, and a good balance of rice and beans.

We both really enjoyed our meal and were happy we decided to give this place a try. Definitely coming back whenever we're in the area again! Highly recommend!

The Californian is my favorite and I add chicken. You can choose rice base, greens, or half and half. I recommend half and half.

Their sauces are especially amazing--I've even asked for the recipes, but understandably, they're keeping those secrets to themselves! The LB Rice Bowl is my favorite and, as far as I know, the only bowl that offers animal protein. Nothing beats the combination of flavors in it. My only downside is that the portion sizes seem to have gotten smaller over the years while the prices have gone up, so we don't come quite as often as we used to. That said, the food is still delicious, and I absolutely love sitting outside and enjoying lunch with the ocean breeze. Such a quintessential Laguna Beach spot!

I really enjoyed the beans and liked that it was offered as something different. I also ordered a spicy michelada with Modelo which was really good. For food we shared the pollo à la chipotle and seafood enchiladas. Both entrees were really good! You could taste the crab in the enchiladas and the sauce on the chicken was really good. The chicken was also moist and not dry. I enjoyed the chile relleno but felt like it wasn't needed. My boyfriend really liked the rice. They offered us more chips once we ran out and brought out a fresh batch. Oh my, the chips were amazing when they were still warm! If I wasn't full I could've eaten the whole basket myself. Our server was also friendly and brought water for our dog without us having to ask. Great location near the beach for a nice dinner with a breeze. We would definitely return!

The food was so delicious, we ordered food to take with us for later. ( photos of take out attached. We were too busy eating out sit down meal). The service was exceptional. My water glass stayed full. The room is nice and cozy. We had no problem with parking, but I can imagine it may get tight during the dinner hour.

We ordered the curry lunches, one with tofu and one with soy chicken. It was a good-size portion, with carrots, onions and potatoes. It was flavorful, a little sweet and not spicy. The watermelon juice was refreshing, and the Thai iced tea (made with soy milk) was a nice bonus. Great place if you are vegan!

When we walked in, there was a very kind employee at the front who told us she would squeeze us in, which we really appreciated especially since we were coming down from an hour away to try urth cafe for the first time. However , another employee came over with her bag already on and looking ready to leave and told the employee helping us that she couldn't squeeze us in because the kitchen was closed. Her attitude made the whole in interaction feel very unwelcoming especially since the first employee had been so kind to squeeze us in. It was frustrating to be turned away almost a full hour before the posted closing time, especially after we had already been told they could accommodate us. If the kitchen closes at 9:00 PM, that should be clearly posted so customers know ahead of time and don't make the trip expecting to be served. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled left a really bad impression.
