The Taco Stand

Finding great tacos in Laguna Beach is like getting a rental car on Christmas Day: your options are going to be limited. Fortunately, there’s Taco Stand, a mini-chain from San Diego that does Tijuana-style tacos filled with grilled asada and al pastor from the spit. Aside from the usual taqueria staples, we like their vegetarian options, like nopales and mushroom tacos. The dining room can get crowded during peak hours, but don’t let that stop you from taking advantage of their fully loaded salsa bar.
