Modern Mexican Comfort Food

07.01.14

By Natalie Aronson

With the new addition of the recently opened Tortilla Republic, Laguna Beach continues to boasts an unfaltering and extensive range of cuisines.

Tortilla Republic's modern Mexican comfort food is made with farm-fresh ingredients and merges traditional recipes with a unique addition of flavors. Take their Tacos de Jicama for example; Shrimp, chipotle mayo, cilantro, red onion, and avocado wrapped up neatly in a thinly sliced jicama "tortilla", making for a refreshing appetizer.

Innovative, yes, but also classic. The opportunity to try something new are on every page, -whether it be a Cucumber Lavender Margarita or Hibiscus Flower Enchiladas- but if comfort food is what you know, there's no sense in not sticking to tradition. Their Flautas de Pollo use organic ingredients to make this classic a restaurant staple. Mary's free range chicken tinga, queso fresco crema and guacamole stuffed inside a crispy flour tortilla is a hearty appetizer that compliments the chips and salsa trio to start out your meal.

The food, paired with the excellent service, make up the full package when experienced at prime realty with an ocean view from the front room or bar top. White rope hanging from the ceiling contrast the dark, wooden paneled walls, giving off a classic nautical feel.

Whatever you choose to bite into, you can taste the preparation in every mouthful. Tortilla Republic also has locations in West Hollywood and Kauai, proving if you know a good thing when you see it, you might as well share the experience.

Open 5 to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 5 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 5 to 10 p.m. Sunday.

480 S Coast Hwy in Laguna Beach. 949.393.4888.
