Zero regrets. The Plot's vegan brunch is everything I want in a weekend meal: fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without that post-brunch food coma. I leave feeling amazing, not weighed down, and somehow they pull it off without sacrificing an ounce of flavor. Everything tastes like it was made with actual care (and a little bit of magic). It's honestly one of my favorite brunch spots in Orange County. If you're someone who loves food that's both delicious and good for you, this place will hit every mark. ----------------- :( just saw they're permanently closed, so sad

I loveeee the Oceanside location so I was so happy when this location opened! Every dish is so extraordinary with so much thought put into every aspect of the plate. They use such amazing fresh ingredients & flavors that I never knew would pair well together. I've always had such great service no matter who it is working! Everyone is so kind and welcoming and makes the experience that much better. I also really like the location of this one. The Camp is such a cool spot, and it's interesting that the restaurant is shaped as a circle. The patio seating is so cute and cozy, I love the table with the fire pit on it. It's also dog friendly!! Please go and support! I love this restaurant and want to see it flourish

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 will return, because I look forward to trying several other menu items. I highly recommend Carmelita's.

Not just good, but wholly satisfying and abundant. My Asada Bowl was filled with so much tasty protein that what I initially took for a somewhat high-priced offering ($18.95) proved ample enough to satisfy not only for lunch; This was dinner as well. Tacos received equal praise. Order at the counter then take a seat at a patio table. Your meal will be brought to your table though should you need anything else you'll likely be fetching it yourself. If the weather is nice (almost always in Laguna Beach), you're sporting a hunger, and you're not looking for anything fancy Rasta Taco should be on your go-to list. If I found myself in Laguna Beach today, it's where I'd lunch.

My wife got the piccata which I know is a favorite here. Very well done and a huge portion. We started with the deviled eggs which were not my fave with the deep fried whatever in them. I get it, a crunchy take on the ubiquitous deviled egg. But I'm a purist by nature. One of the better multi chain restaurants in OC. I cannot wait to try the SC location close to my house.

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.

We never felt rushed or pressured to order quickly. I got the spicy chicken sandwich after seeing previous reviews, and my wife got the Lagunaian wedge and Mac & cheese. Everything was exceptional. I love blue cheese, but am not the biggest fan of fried chicken with cheese on it. This combo flipped me on my head, so delicious with the blue cheese slaw. The Mac & cheese was almost like a hybrid of a baked Mac and a gooier stovetop style Mac, and the six cheese blend added a lot of depth of flavor. We have already agreed that we will be back at least once more while we're down here for the chicken sandwich again.
