Laguna Niguel's dining options are spread across its commercial corridors rather than concentrated in a walkable centre. Saltwater Grill on the corner of La Paz and Aliso Creek serves Mexican dishes with a California twist — the calamari tacos and chile rellenos are local favorites, and there is outdoor seating and a full bar. Across the street, Bella Italian Kitchen is a small, casual spot known for its chicken pesto rigatoni.
