Laguna has many great restaurants, some with natural views others not, so they need to step up in every other aspect. Knowing this, expected great argentine food and came away with just an okay. I did love the salad, very tart and delicious for a occassional salad gourmet. The Skirt stake was pretty good as well. Here is what is... More

This is our second visit. We enjoy dining in the outdoor patio and dogs are welcome on the patio. This time there were four of us and we all ordered the same thing: hamburgers served with potato salad; we had an excellent bottle of wine and we shared one dessert, a fresh strawberry tart with ice cream. Everything was delicious... More

Simple, fresh, healthy and delicious! This is one of the best restaurants in the Southern California area; always consistent in the quality of their food. It is evident that the chef is not only talented but creative in her preparations. The wood burning grill offers sensational flavor to the fresh meats, fish and vegetables. Love that I can visit their... More

The speciality here is cooking over Mesquite - even the Edamame was grilled. it works well, the steak and the burger were both very good, The place is cramped inside and had a small, covered, patio which although simply decorated suited the food well.

This place usually requires reservations because it is tiny. I know there is some indoor seating but it doesn't look that inviting. The outdoor seating is nice although not much of a view. Anyway, I still come here whenever I have the chance for the hamburger, it is one of the best I have ever had. I've tried other menu... More

This place is has a most amazing burger. Big meaty, pickled onioniny goodness. I just started to drool thinking of it right now. Steak was ok. Burger reigns supreme. Pleasant and helpful staff.

Well, I have to confess, like Hamburgers. For fast food my favorite is Jack in The Box. For a restaurant, Maros is superb. Thick and juicy is an understatement. If you like a burger with tons of flavor, you've come to the right place . This beast is eight ounces big and ready to fill up the biggest appetite. Oh,... More
