San Shi Go
A favorite local hangout for its clean, white decor, good sushi and killer views. It's hidden upstairs in an undistinguished mall, but worth seeking out.

Hush
Laguna's favorite for hipsters with cash to burn, and their parents. Macaroni and cheese comes with lobster and crayfish while pork chops are wrapped delightfully in sage.

-
Crab Cooker
Expect a wait at this always-busy fish joint, which serves great seafood and fresh crab on paper plates to an always-appreciative crowd in flip-flops and jeans. Good chowder too.

La Sirena
Hole-in-the-wall La Sirena shines for its bargain-basement prices and knockout contemporary Mexican specialties (think crunchy jicama and zingy salsa, not fat-laden refries with melted yellow cheese).

D
Zinc Café
Locals say Zinc is the thing they miss most when they leave Laguna. Maybe it's the happy-making tomato-colored walls inside or the serene terrace outside. The vegetarian menu - including egg dishes, pizzas and sandwiches - emphasizes fresh ingredients.

Las Brisas
Come here for one of Laguna's best views. Sip margaritas while you stare at the crashing waves from the glassed-in patio on the bluff, or book a table in the dining room. You won't long remember your Mexican-seafood meal, but the image of the coast will leave an indelible impression. Cocktail hour gets packed; make reservations.
