Woman-owned Indian restaurant. A real hidden gem.
Cool small hamburger place across the street from In-N-Out. Lots of photos cover the wall, with various sports teams from years gone by and thanks from those teams. Very casual place serving Mexican food as well as hamburgers. Flies under the radar. This is in Laguna Nigel's city zoning, though many believe it to be in Aliso Viejo or San Juan Capistrano.
Tiny dive bar with a stage for live music and one pool table. Tons of stuff lines the walls. Very local spot with a tradition of mooning trains once a year. Someone sets up a grill and serves tacos and more in the parking lot at night.
South OC's premier Irish pub. Serving up traditional Irish dishes and with karaoke to boot. Has popular sporting events on TV such as MMA matches and NFL games. Also has bingo and holiday parties.
Near Irvine Spectrum, Laguna Hills Mall, Laguna Beach and Mission Viejo.
A rather high-end women’s clothing store, but very good quality clothes and trendy fashion.
A very large secondhand store. Lots of media, clothing, furniture, and more.
