We love this place! It’s not the closest to our house, but any time we go to another Mexican restaurant we are disappointed so it’s worth the extra few minutes. There chips and salsa are amazing. My favorite is the chili Verdi burrito-wet(green). It’s got so much flavor. My husband loves Huevos rancheros & my daughter gets her “stake taco with beans”(on the side)
The food was just horrible! The green burrito look like vomit !! The rice and beans smelled burn. Taquitos were hard as hell I went to get a refund and they didn’t want too because no one has made a complain all day . That has nothing to do with me . Never coming back . They don’t seem to care about their food presentation. I ask the cashier if he would eat the food and he said yes . What kind of answer is that !! Horrible food .!!
I paid for a asada burrito and I got been burrito for 8.00 dollars really bad ? experience. I was my first time there. Never go back
Chips, salsa and guacamole are the best and reasonably priced. Have been coming here for many years.
Will always love las golindrinas. My favorite is the California burrito. It’s hard not to love their other classics like chili Reno, taquitos and other amazing specials that get over looked
Not sure how much I paid for what I thought I was paying for because they hand you a receipt with the bill but no breakdown on the pricing. The chalkboard is so old it is hard to read the pricing. But this didn't seem to deter anyone from purchasing food there. Mediocre at best but fast service.
I generally have had pretty good success with this Mexican takeout restaurant. But I felt things were a little overpriced at this time...e.g. two quarts of baked beans $22? And their salsa was extremely runny this time almost like it was 50% water. Kind of like a salsa soup almost lol
These guy are worst!Food has gone down hill and they charge for hot sauce. Unbelievable!!
For clarification, this review applies to the Laguna Niguel location.As someone who is married to a Latina and who has also traveled extensively throughout Mexico; Las Golondrinas was a big let down. I have no idea how many people have given them almost four stars. Perhaps it is because my fellow pasty white folk have no idea what flavor and spice tastes like because they're from some place like the mid-West or the Northeast coast of the US. I find the food in both those regions of the US to be equally as bland.The combination enchiladas I ordered (1 cheese, 2 chicken) were bland and I suspect the sauce may have been from a can. Cardboard has more flavor than what I received and the rice was equally flavorless. My wife's beef tacos were ok (she said the meat was good) but she was equally disappointed in the rice. The only saving grace were the beans... they were not bland. However, I also suspect a bit of pork lard was thrown into them for flavor.Personally, I'll stick with La Rana when I dine on fast casual Mexican in this general area. They at least know how to spice and flavor their food.
5 stars!! You get what you pay for! I live in San Diego and this place goes toe to toe with some of the best food down there. Taco Tuesday’s is the best deal, $2 tacos for carne asada and chicken. Definitely worth a try if you haven’t had it!!In response to other reviews. Yea, they’re a little short with people, but they’re not rude at all! They’re constantly busy and don’t have time for your stupid questions, custom orders, low carb diets and different BS you throw at them. This is not a Michelin star restaurant. You are not being served. This is fast food and it’s incredible! Better than most sit down restaurants out here. So order your food, take off and enjoy it. So sad to see this place not have 5 stars because of these posh reviews from Orange County snobs.
