    Amazing beaf burrito
    Tareq R.

    Truly, the best smash burger ever. The service is excellent and the tables on PCH and people watching was second to none.

    Jeff V.

    Coast Kitchen on coast highway in Laguna Beach has recently opened. It was no accident that I came upon this place. I was actually going to Taco Loco that used to be at this location. I didn't know they closed. I spoke to the owner and they have been open for about 2 months. He told me the cook that used to be at Taco Loco is still working there. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they didn't disappoint. They also have burgers if you're not in the mood for a taco or burrito. They have a smash burger which is one of my pictures they had advertised outside. They have a shrimp burger and also a tofu mushroom burger. I'll have to try one on my next trip. The owner also told me they are opening a coffee/smoothie place on the same premises on the other side of the driveway. They also have a small private parking area if you are dining in or picking up. So if are down in Laguna make sure you stop in and try this new business out!

    Just wow

    Dear lawdddd GET THE SMASH BURGER HERE! We love the burger at Ahba and this one is different enough to love in a different way -- plus super convenient, casual to grab something quick. Plenty of seating and the potato tacos were bomb too! We grabbed another burger to take home for later lol

    Taco Stand never misses -- but just know this is not the exact same experience as the San Diego…read morelocations. The flavor profile here is definitely a bit smokier/charred compared to the Taco Stand spots down south, especially compared to La Jolla. There are slight variations in how some of the food is cooked and prepared, but it's not bad at all -- just different. If you come in expecting an exact replica, you may notice the differences. If you treat this location as its own thing, it's honestly really solid. Huge shoutout to Carlos at the register for the excellent customer service. We ordered food both for here and to-go, and everything was packed separately exactly how we asked. We also made a few modifications after placing the order, and Carlos went out of his way to track down our ticket and write the changes on it himself to make sure everything came out correctly. Food was still great, service was amazing, and we'd definitely come back again.

    I waited in line for about 10-15 min. Service was good it was very loud. Food was decent I don't…read morethink it's that worth the hype. I got the Cali burrito and the presado taco. The fries tasted ok not that thin and crispy. I expected a lot more flavor. The sauce stand was a mess... it didn't like sanitary whatsoever. I grabbed the newest one that I requested get put out since it was empty.

The chips were super fresh and crispy, with just the right amount of salt. Their margarita was classic and simple in the best way, with a salt rim (my fav). I ordered their burrito bowl and they were able to add fajita veggies instead of a protein as a vegetarian option. This bowl was loaded - rice , beans, cheese, guac, veggies, cucumber, lettuce, and tortilla strips. Huge bowl and everything tasted so so good! The lettuce was tossed in a fresh lime dressing and the fajita veggies were spiced to perfection. Would def come here again. They made what could be so simple into an elevated meal.

The sign said to wait to be seated, but my dad waited around for about 10 minutes without seeing anyone at the host stand. The bartender told him it was okay to go outside & find an available table, so we weren't trying to skip any rules...we were just following what we were told. When we finally spoke with the hostess, she explained she was trying to manage multiple tables, which was understandable, but the communication could have been a little clearer. Once we sat down, everything was great. The drinks were delicious, we enjoyed a quick snack with chips and guacamole, & the service was friendly & efficient. We didn't try the food, but it seems like a nice spot for a casual drink or quick bite. Overall, we had a good experience and would come back.

We came in around 8:30p on a Sunday night hoping to get seated, however they said they had full reservations but the bar had some space. We ended up sitting at the bar, I'm so glad I gave it a chance. The service at the bar was really awesome and the bartender/server helping us was really attentive. I ordered a Paloma and my newly fiancé ordered a spicy watermelon margarita. The drinks were pretty good. I preferred his over mine. The Paloma had a blood orange taste that was interesting. The margarita didn't have much of a spice still really good. I really enjoyed the complimentary chips and the trio salsa black bean dip. The salsa could have had a little more spice. Entrees: we ordered the enchiladas divorciadas and the filet taquitos, everything was really delicious. I especially loved the green sauce on the cheese enchilada and the mole was perfect. The taquitos were just as good with a great amount of guacamole. The portions were a decent size. Overall it was a great experience and price point. I'll definitely be coming back the next time we are in Laguna and I'll be sure to make a reservation to get a table next time.

We were lucky to find parking around 6 PM. And due to the storm, turning out the Pacific the beach was wiped away. There was tons of erosion. However, the café is still open and there's still other beachgoers in the upper area of the beach We opted to start with some chips and salsa and some soft drinks, which were great. A great zesty lightly spicy salsa made fresh and crisp seasoned tortilla chips. For dinner I ordered the chicken bacon ranch sandwich which also came with tortilla chips and my hubs ordered the fish and chips. We also got a piña colada on the rocks. When I tell you that was one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had a really long time. I am not kidding. I omitted the ranch dressing but everything else on it was incredibly delicious. It was an ample portion and how could you beat eating a chicken sandwich with an ocean view. They have a great assortment of cocktails, including Matt Thai and piña colada and assorted beer. You can only drink alcohol on the patio. Overall, the service was phenomenal. The food was freshly prepared. I think it's a great value again especially being oceanfront. You need to pay for parking up until I want to say 7 PM. You can use the QR code, the machine or the app.

The tuna bowl had barely a scoop of tuna and was covered with rice and greens. Fish and chips were tasty but not memorable. Overall, the food isn't bad but nothing super special for the price. What made up for this was how friendly all the workers are. The drinks were great and the spot itself was clean with a great view of the ocean. You can easily walk on the beach or walk to the cafe if you're hanging out at the beach. Lots of seating but can imagine on a busier day, seating would be difficult to find a table. Private parking lot and you pay at the machine. I still gave this place 5 stars because the overall environment was great and will still come back!
