Laguna Grill Restaurant: Menu & Drinks

At Laguna Grill Restaurant, expert chefs craft every Mexican dish, showcasing local ingredients and international flavors.
Be sure to try the table-side guacamole. Watch as your server prepares fresh guac to your specifications, using only fresh ingredients.

A customer rave is a molcajete, which is large enough to share. The shrimp, chicken, and carne asada are tender and not overcooked. The nopales and green onions have perfect grill marks, which enhance the flavor. The sauce has small pieces of chorizo, making it uniquely flavorful. Add the grilled jalapenos that come with your meal for a spicy kick.

Another favorite is the tacos, like the Mahi grilled tacos. These street-style tacos feature fresh ingredients and are filling and tasty. You can't go wrong with these crowd-pleasers!

When the sweet tooth needs satisfying, try the churros with chocolate sauce!

Adult beverages at Laguna Grill Restaurant are refreshing. They have a good selection of beers and margaritas, the marquee of any Mexican restaurant.
