   The food they serve is not very hot so the cheese in the enchilada isn’t melted enough.

   Amazing food, drinks, and service! I wish I remembered our server’s name because he was outstanding! (Tall blonde young man) Everyone that came by the table was awesome. We will definitely be back!

   Everything was exceptional as always except for the butter cake. Too sweet and heavy. Not tasty, either.

   I have been visiting this restaurants for years when in Laguna Beach. It has a lively atmosphere, with great service, freshly made food, nice variety of drinks and a view of the pacific while you enjoy your meal or are just seating at the bar. Definitely make a reservation as it is a busy place at peak dining hours. Food is always wonderful, my favorite is their shrimp taquito's, but they start you with chips, salsa hot, mild and a bean dip that you can't stop eating! Definitely if in the area stop in and enjoy one of their fine Mexican dishes, as they are all delicious.

   Asher was our server, and he went above and beyond to accommodate and take care of us. He knew the menu extensively and provided great recommendations. We will definitely be back!

   South of Nick’s has amazing margaritas with all homemade mixes and top shelf tequilas. My husband ordered the Cabo Shrimp and I had the Filet Ranchero. They both were equally delicious. Our server was Bryce, he was attentive to every detail and never made us wait for a thing. He was always one step ahead . One of the best servers ever! We will be back 😋

   South of Nick's is always a treat! This is hands-down one of my favorite restaurants. We had the queso, taquitos, and the Mercado salad—all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The margarita was perfectly balanced and delicious. To top it all off, the ocean view made the entire experience even more magical. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, drinks, and a stunning atmosphere!

   Our experience at all of your restaurants is always great today. The service was most exceptional. I’m sure for Jack was attentive and on point throughout our experience we had my mother-in-law that was with us. That was a little bit older and had some issues. Jack was on top of it from start to finish as always. We appreciate the service at all of your restaurants.
