Adolfo's Mexican Food in Laguna is always great. The food is fresh, flavorful, and truly delicious. I especially loved the shredded beef taco and the albondigas soup--both were excellent. My daughter enjoyed her bean and cheese burrito as well. The service was amazing; the staff is consistently kind and attentive, and they brought our food out promptly. I'm always impressed by the beautiful art inside the restaurant--it adds so much character. Parking was easy too, which is a plus. Thank you for another wonderful experience! read more

I have been eating here since 1986, they have never served me or my friends a bad meal. Chicken Tacos Rock, Connie and Adolpho are the best, their family now runs it and has continued to serve Laguna with pride. My favorite tacos in the world, try them, you will not be dissapointed. Love these guys forever! read more

Put this on my list of - eat here everytime I come to town. First off - the staff was amazing. Big smiles and very friendly. The food was amazing. We got the bean and cheese chimichanga. It was not over fried (which most places do) and it was a treat. No way was I having leftovers. We also had the potatoe taco (mashed potatoes- first time I've experienced them mashed and it seems the only way it should be). Very good. We also got the veggie taco. Tasted like a fajita taco. It was perfect. Top it off with a quesadilla just to cheese out the night and we were beyond satisfied. I would never come here just for drinks, though they have a bar - because I would eat too much. They did have two games on. Thank you read more

We frequent Laguna Beach & we always catch the trolly infront of Adolfo's after eating across the street but this day I said let's try the Mexican restaurant! We did & it was pretty good! the workers were super friendly! It's family owned restaurant serving up traditional dishes! I had the Torte de carne asada which was pretty good with fries & a Mexican Coke! I liked the ambience of the restaurant with the colorful steel chairs outside that reminded me of my days in Mexicali I would come back when craving a Torta read more

Friendly service, lots of variety on menu, & they were open early. Jamaica was delicious, not too sweet. My enchilada & taco combo was simply okay. The beans were very good on the plate. My husband said his torta was okay as well. I'm all for supporting small family business so I'd return when in the area again & order something else. read more

My friend really enjoys the tacos here, but I wasn't a fan. The price for 2 tacos is so costly for a white washed version of a taco. Maybe for other items come here but if you want great tacos go to taco stand. read more

Came to Laguna for the day to celebrate our 28 year anniversary. Get yummy Mexican food... so I thought from the Yelp reviews, ride the trolly to south Laguna and walk down to the beach. Boy were we disappointed with the food here! Yikes $77.00 for chips and guacamole, an order of two tiny tiny fish tacos with rice and beans and two cheese enchiladas with rice and beans, no drinks just water! Everything was bland and cold? Why cold? Weird! Red sauce on enchiladas was gross. And cheese barely melted. I didn't eat them. But got them to go for my husband to warm and try later. Which we ended up throwing them away because it wasn't worth it to carry disgusting left overs on our fun adventure. My husband said his tacos were ok. And he liked the rice even though his food was lukewarm. The only thing that was good was guacamole (truly how hard is that?)and the server was nice, plus sitting on the patio soaking up the sun. Nice location and theme of decor. But food terrible! Hopefully locals have great authentic Mexican food somewhere in Laguna to treasure. read more

The restaurant is hidden behind some greenery and the outside seating but a cut little authentic Mexican food spot. The food is fresh and the portions are big for the price! The staff are super sweet and friendly. They gave us recommendations of what to order and we got the shrimp tacos, beef taquitos, and seafood tostada. Everything was wonderful and love the different salsas. Definitely recommend. read more

What a fun and delicious place for Mexican food. I stopped by in the morning for a bacon, egg, cheese and potato breakfast burrito. I was not disappointed. First of all it was HUGE ! Lot's of bacon and cheese. The potatoes were cooked in such a way that they were just the right texture. I probably could have gone for a little less potato in the burrito but the taste was Great. They have a lot of other options which I haven't gotten a chance to try yet. Since it's located in downtown Laguna Beach, I will definitely get back to try a few other things. The people and the service was Outstanding ! read more

I come here once every six months. Usually good! But wow.. Watched the guy that serves the food- handle the mop and mop water (that cleaned the bathroom floors) then serves us the food. Horrible. Never washed his hands. Just mop water then straight to our plates. Gross... read more

GO HERE IT GIVES HOLES IN THE WALL IN THE BEST DAMN WAY!!! An awesome beach day was rounded out by this place! In the morning, my friends and I spent the morning at Anita Street Beach, and this restaurant is across the street, so we got a great lunch and kept our parking spots. In the end, I just went with a simple Jarritos Mexican flavor pineapple drink, and I'm sure they have every flavor available, including fruit punch, which I rarely see. There's no way I can resist ordering two because they're so good! I ordered a two-taco combo which came with rice and beans, plus sour cream (excuse the American in me). As a stopover lunch stop after a beach day, we were very happy with the service. It was fast and efficient. read more

First time eating here. A group of 10 of us went to celebrate a friend's birthday. Incredible food and great service - no reservation, it's not that type of place. But we had no wait and had a great time. food portions are huge - I had the grande burrito and I will be eating for leftovers all weekend! I highly recommend this place for fast casual dining. Prices were cheap for Laguna Beach IMHO. read more

This place is a great local food establishment if you want some real authentic chips and salsa with a nice patio dining area for you to enjoy the delicious food that is prepared fresh there in the restaurant and catch the local Pacific coast highway people driving by to see your amazing California burrito that I recommend you try !

I'll be honest, last time I went in to a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant, my gut wasn't too happy that evening. Let's just say, this is NOT the experience I had at Adolfo's - SOOOOO delish. My husband and I were driving through Laguna on an off-season Thursday evening on vacation and found Adolfo's for dinner. Parking was SUPER simple behind the restaurant, with a small lot, accommodating about 10 cars. We walked in and ordered chips and salsa and a California burrito (with shredded beef) to share. The chips are home-made on-site. The salsa was fine and good. The burrito was very good - will note that we love fries in our California burritos but this one had potato cubes. Still delish, just different. My husband loves tortas, so we went back for seconds with a chorizo torta and got the chips and cheese. The torta and chorizo were SUPER delicious! For $5 for chips and cheese at a mexican restaurant, I expected a cup of queso and chips (or queso drizzled on top) -- nope, it was just generic shredded bag cheese on top of some chips that were heated in the microwave. If you've ever had this cheese in the microwave, you know that it congeals solid once it's cooled down. This was not the experience we were looked for. I do not recommend the chips and cheese. They did have 4 microwaves available to run. So I'd recommend figuring out what doesn't need a microwave and order only that. They were not busy when we were there, our food came out within minutes of ordering. read more

Adolfos is home away from home. Amongst the overpriced "new american" restaurants and awful gimmicky chains this is the only place in town i really go out to eat at anymore. Food is always good and the beers are always cold. Im here at least once a week to talk with other regulars and enjoy this hole in the wall that is truly the last of its kind in laguna. Best chorizo burrito in the world! Pairs great with a modelo. read more

Do yourself a huge favor and go to Rasta Taco. Incredibly disappointing and lackluster. 4 microwaves in their kitchen but not an oven in sight. I asked if their tacos are street style, guy taking my order said yes and used a hand gesture to show small tortilla size. I received American size tortilla shells with lettuce and cheese on top but no onion or cilantro. Potato taco is very literally plain mashed potato with lettuce and cheese, I took 1 bite and handed it back yet was never asked why I was handing back a nearly untouched plate. Red salsa tastes like spicy pasta sauce. Green salsa had a strange after taste. Burritos we ordered we not grilled so they fell apart, rice was super dry. Watched their kitchen hand microwave beans for 4 minutes in a plastic container as well as heat up a nacho plate for a minute and a half. read more

A beautiful sunny day in Laguna Beach. Great place to pick up good Mexican food without spending crazy Laguna beach prices. I loved that they have a free parking lot next door so no stress finding parking. The nice staff take your order and bring the food to your table. After lunch, take a quick walk to the beach or take your food to go and watch the sunset. read more

Adolfo's is an excellent place to get great Mexican food in Laguna . I've been here many times and it never dissapoints. The food is very good. I like their chile relleno burrito. You can get it wet style too. Their tacos,enchiladas, and carnitas are good as well. I also like their unsweetened black tea. The employees are very friendly. The only con is that the inside is a bit cramped and not as clean as it could be. However, it's still a great restaurant. read more

The food was fire, everyones super chill and I definitely plan on coming back here anytime i'm in Laguna.

The woman I believe the manager or owner was very sweet, but the food was unfortunately terrible. 4 microwaves were in the kitchen and they didn't prepare the food they just threw it on a plate and microwaved it. It had no flavor at all, it was extremely poor quality and unappetizing, and the cost for the food was unreasonable considering the quality. I'd recommend steering clear of this restaurant. read more

We love Adolfo's! & come in every time we are in Laguna. Great authentic California Mexican food. Includes indoor and outdoor seating and there is a small parking lot behind the building. My recent visit two days ago, we called ahead some enchiladas, huevos rancheros, and breakfast burritos. They said it would be ready and 15 minutes and sure enough everything was packaged to go when we arrived. Everything tasted great and for about $70 we fed our family of 6 and had leftovers. Definitely check out this awesome spot! read more

Staff was friendly and helpful. The lengua with grilled onions and jalapeños was great. They only had paper plates and plastic utensils. Hard to eat carne asasa that way. They charge extra for "spicy" salsa, the pico was old and stale. We wouldn't go back. read more

Used to be good and cheap. Now its only ok amd way overpriced. Spent $40 on a burrito and asada fries amd didmt even get sides or a beverage. Used to be able to feed a family for that here amd now you can only fool dummies into eating here. Never again. Lower the prices or make the food worth it. read more

My go-to whenever Im in Laguna Beach. Quick service, good portions, and the meat in their carne asada is very lean and tasty. They also use the freshest vegetables of any mexican place Ive ever been too. We always get the carne asada fries and they have never disappointed! Ive always loved eating inside or outside here as the location is great and the inside looks very cool. Four stars instead of five because I ordered a Sangria, and they did not specify that it was non-alcoholic until after I had opened it and asked, because it tasted like grape soda. I brought it up, and they basically just said "sorry". Uncool! Threw it out immediately. read more

We have been here 8 days in a row now! We're working up the corner from this place painting a house and have been here every day since we started for breakfast and lunch depending on the day. I'm not going to say like god dam best Mexican food I've ever had and have someone be like why would he write that in his review it's like a what ever. But let me put it this way the variety is plenty and the food is for sure bomb enough to be here 8 days in a row! No complaints At all what so ever. Staff is great the main dude at the counter is basically our buddy now. The owner hooked us up with a free pitcher on cinco de meyo. Like this is what you want in an establishment to feel like family! Appreciate you guys thank you everyone! read more

Maybe we had an off day? There are so many good reviews, but our experience was not so good at all. We were in the area, and the internet was choosing to barely work at all, so it was hard to find or pull up places we had thought about visiting. We do not live nearby and do not come down here often so we were unfamiliar with what was around. We were near a coffee shop and just about gave up and this place was very close to where we parked. I figured it would be tasty by the reviews and the outside pictures looked nice so we walked over. When we got here, the scenic outdoor area looked kind of dirty and sad. We opted to eat inside instead. It felt like a basic take out fast food place. We ordered and ordered it for here. It was brought out as to go, and everything felt rushed and like a quick get out even if the staff was nice. I did have a chicken quesadilla so I guess that is nothing to really review, but I didn't really enjoy it at all. Steven had the enchiladas and didn't enjoy them at all and did not finish his meal. Nothing stood out or tasted amazing. Looking at the other reviews, maybe we had an off day. I am just going by our experience, but maybe you would enjoy it here more than us. read more

Always great food and even better service. A weekly go to. Asada quesadilla is a favorite.

Had 2 shredded beef tacos. Decent. Beef was amazing but shell tasted shelf bought. Wife had a chicken burrito and it was huge!!! She couldn't finish it and said it was delicious. I would come back again when I'm in the area read more

I was very impressed with Adolfo's today. The owner took my order at what once was the entrance of this small restaurant. The menu is mostly Mexican, but the also have some diner fare like burgers. There are close to a dozen people eating on the patio on bar level tables and lovely wooden stools. A gentleman walks out of the restaurant and hands me a bag of food it seems very heavy for what I've ordered. I get back home and find some exquisitely cooked Machaca. The proportions of eggs to meat to vegetables was perfectly balanced. The vegetables (onions and peppers) were clearly fresh and still had integrity. The eggs were light and fluffy. The beans, rice and jamaica were good. They provided salsa and pico de gallo, both good. I wish I had more, but I never get enough of either. I will certainly return. read more

Great food! Very generous portions! Staff is very friendly and attentive. Easy to get in and out.

This is a great little grab and go spot. The food is yummy and the staff is so incredibly nice. Everything is packed to go right now because of the pandemic but there are a couple of seats right outside where you can enjoy your food. I got two crispy tacos - one asada and one pollo. I really enjoyed the pollo. It was really well marinated. Hubs got the seafood burrito and it was filled with all the right things- a mix of seafood including fish, shrimp, crab, cheese, rice and a side of guacamole and sour cream. read more
