Reviews for Balvina's Mexican Kitchen in Laguna Hills, CA

5 stars based on service and the tasty dishes. A lil pricey but it is what it is. Chips and salsa to start. Taquitos for an... appetizer. Cold beer and cocktails. Chicken Mole dish with a side of beans was delicious. Read more

Been several times for dinner and it never disappoints! We've had The ceviche, the house salad, mole enchilada, Verde enchilada,... steak fajitas, tamales, the rice & beans are delicious too!! The owners are great!!! They were nice enough to just make simplesteak tacos for my kids. Alex worked at Javiers & Break of Dawn and you can tell!!! It's fresh and on the healthier side.Portions are generous. Good ambiance and nice outdoor seating. Read more

I had an opportunity to visit Balvina?s this weekend and was very impressed with the offerings. I had the garlic shrimp with... Mexican rice and it had a great presentation along with tasting outstanding. If you are looking to enjoy several Mexicanauthentic dishes you should come by Balvina?s after visiting Laguna Hills. It is very easy to get to off of the 5 Freeway. Lookfor the owners who will make you feel at home. Read more

We had a wonderful meal this evening at Balvinas in Laguna Hills. Great menu items and terrific service. Rufino our server was... quite attentive and the food cooked to perfection. My wife had the enchiladas pompano with rice and beans and I had the PescadoVeracruz which was a generous portion of halibut cooked just right accompanied by rice, beans and tortillas. The margaritas werealso quite tasty. A new restaurant open only 5 months and also serves breakfast. What a find! Highly recommended Thank you Read more

My dad brought me to Balvina's for breakfast, I was very impressed. This little restaurant serves some really awesome food, the... presentation was amazing, great ingredients, made with care. The service was great as well. I had the huevos rancheros, I lovedtheir version of the dish! Also my dad got the huevos con machaca and that was amazing as well! The whole experience wasexcellent. I will be making this spot a weekly breakfast spot for myself, and I would recommend to anybody!!! Read more

Wow, was this a disappointment. My wife and I ordered the queso which was a skillet of melted cheese, a Margarita from a mix,... tacos with tortillas from a bag (saw the cook pull them from the Mission bag), and a steak that was not seasoned. What toppedthis terrible meal off were the Costco rice and refried beans. Come on, make at least an effort to cook the beans! All foronly $90. What a deal. Two stars because our waiter was great.
