Las Brisas Description:
Sitting on a picturesque cliff overlooking the pretty crescent-shaped cove of Main Beach, Las Brisas is a Laguna Beach landmark and a historic register building. The menu focuses on Mexican seafood specialties with California flair. The drinks are strong, refreshing and made with freshly-squeezed juices and premium liquors. Start dinner with ceviche, lightly-fried calamari or a Mexican shrimp cocktail with lobster and tequila cocktail sauce. You'll find some elevated tacos and enchiladas, but your best bets are the fresh seafood dishes. Try the huachinango Veracruzana, a lightly-breaded red snapper filet filled with shrimp in a spicy Veracruz tomato sauce and Mexican-style rice. Some pass up the restaurant altogether for the sunny outdoor patio, which serves up its own lighter menu and strong margaritas. If you're an early riser, don't miss the breakfast buffet. Sunday brunch is affordable and includes a four-course brunch with free-flowing Champagne. Always end a meal with a stop to smell the roses in the adjacent garden and then climb the small hill to a cliff-side gazebo with scenic shoreline views.
