A must-try in Laguna! An ideal spot for inventive drinks, delicious food and gorgeous views. I eat Mexican food more than any other cuisine, and this place never disappoints. Their flavors are incredible and the quality is excellent. I highly recommend Soutb of Nick’s!
Returning from a visit to Laguna Beach with my beautiful wife, eating at South of Nicks becomes a must. The atmosphere is very good, the attention of its waiters is up to par and its food is spectacular, the photos that I upload really do not do justice to how well you eat in this place. Parking: You can find some paid parking very close to the restaurant
Stopped in here for lunch. Place was relatively busy but we sat at the bar and service was very good. Picked at a couple of appetizers but the taquitos and the flautos were delicious. Nice view of the Pacific. Go with confidence
