Best Historic Restaurants in Aliso Viejo / Laguna Niguel

This is a great restaurant. From the moment we walked in and were greeted with very kind friendly people to the awesome waiter, the delicious food and the beautiful view. We came when it was already dark and wish we would have come a bit earlier to see it during the day! My husband and I split the halibut and wasn’t sure when we first looked at it. It was in a lot of red sauce but the first bite was so so good and I’m so glad we got that fish! All the other meals looked great too. We came with a large group, needing two tables and they worked very hard to put us right together. I would definitely come again!

They were busy, however the hostess was able to keep up with check-ins and patrons paying their bills. We had a reservation and waited about 10 minutes for our table. Our server was kind and explained all that they had to offer. Food was delicious. I would go back!

The food is amazing! We had the walnut shrimp, coconut curry, New York strip, pork ribs, and fried rice—all were amazing. We were in the inside room and there were two large parties so the noise level was high. But overall, a wonderful dinner!!

Its my favorite restaurant. The staff is kind and attentive. The ambiance is what traditional Mexican restaurants WANT to be. The food is superb without being pretentious or over the top. If I'm in the area and have time, I'm going.

The Fin sushi bar is around the corner from the lobby bar so really hidden. The sushi was OUTSTANDING. We did ask for no sesame seeds at all and the edamame came with a sesame sauce. We sent it back. We also pre called and asked if they had a specific name brand sake. We were told no, we bought/brought our own, and they actually did have it. Thankfully as we didn’t want to spend the $35 cork fee on top of buying our own sake, we bought theirs. We would go back.
