Lousy location with outdoor seating overlooking a shopping center parking lot...but great Mexican food featuring local organic ingredients. With their recent expansion, La Sirena added a great selection of craft beers but didn't give much thought to decor... So come for the food and beer. Our experience with service has been great, so I'm not sure what the complaints are... More

We've frequented La Sirena for the great calamari tacos and other seafood but always lamented the limited seating. When we realized that there was another nearby location with ample seating we were keen to check it out. It did have an impressive amount of indoor and outdoor space plus a bar. The only downside was that it was in a... More

We frequent this restaurant all the time -- my favorite is the lime avocado salad with blackened shrimp. Delicious! The portions are big and the prices are good. Relaxed atmosphere which offers outdoor seating.

This place seems packed always. Probably since they have a great selection of local beers. The ambiance is of a bar snd service is cafeteria style of self service. People don't smile while working, probably too busy and burned out. It's recommended if you want a burrito and a beer.

This is where the locals eat! Pricey, considering there's no table service and no free chips and salsa. But who cares?!? This is Mexican food at its best. Made with respect for the environment, using organic ingredients wherever possible. The best taquitos I ever ate, bar none! Hubby's nachos pollo were great! Can't wait to go again.

Recently remodeled and renewed, the food still remains the main attraction: a unique style of healthy Mexican food. Choose between pinto and black beans both without the usual fat. Fine beers and margaritas. Locals mix with tourists across the street from the most beautiful beach in Laguna. Order at the cashier and they bring you the food and drinks. Fetch... More

Being locals La Sirena fish tacos are a must have on a regular basis. What is in that fish sauce that goes into the blackened fish tacos? Love it and have not been able to duplicate. We are not big beer fans but appreciate all of the taps added to the new remodel. Also appreciate their efforts to go green... More

Ate here with my wife and three kids on the way to the beach on a suggestion from a co-worker. Ordered the calamari tacos and had some drinks. Kids had the bean and cheese burritos. Great selection of micro brew beer. Tacos were pretty good but not over the top. Salsa bar was stocked and the salsa tasted really good.... More

Carne asada tacos are delicious - get one with the cheese & guacamole (.75 extra) and some chips and you have a meal!! I work in the area and my co-workers go crazy for the calamari tacos! Blackened salmon salad is delicious and so is the avocado lime salad with chicken!

La Sirena is not typical for a grocery store anchored mall. Grab a seat at the bar and have a hand shaken margarita or a micro-brewed beer while you wait for your take out order or eat in and relax. There is no table service here. You order at the cash register and then find a table either inside or... More
