In the summer of 1999, we discovered a charming old cottage on Mermaid Street in downtown Laguna Beach, and we decided it was the perfect place to realize our dream of opening our own eatery. Thus was founded La Sirena Grill, named for the street where the dream was born. Our concept was simple: combine the quality of a fine food restaurant with the speed of a fast-food eatery-all in a casual, rustic atmosphere. Contemporary-Mexican in flavor, all dishes had to be fresh, healthy, and made from scratch.
