This is quite a crew that runs a terrific restaurant in Laguna Beach. It is my go-to spot. There is owner Maro, executive chef Deb, and Stefan, who makes sure we are well served at every meal.
The Maro Team: Stefan, Maro, and Deb
Maro, who is originally from Argentina, has a real feel for the grill. Chickens are on a spit and he supplies the most delicious cuts of meat.
My favorite is the skirt steak with chimichurri sauce. The only way to order it is rare or medium rare. It comes with a green salad to balance out the meal.
I am sort of a creature of habit there. My favorite starters are the mushroom empanadas and roasted edamame and shishito peppers. They are absolutely delicious.

As you can see, the pour is over the top and they have a really different but delicious wine list
For some reason, I never get tired of this great simple restaurant. I can walk in for lunch or dinner, get a great seat at the bar, and leave with a satisfied palette. They are open for lunch and dinner, and have been known to cater a party or two for me.

The crew is enjoying a celebration for Katie's birthday... note how great the water pour is too!
Deb has won awards for their to-die-for Banana Bread Pudding
Maro also offers great food to be picked up if you want food to bring to a concert in the park or on a beach picnic!
