Life is too short to be standing still, so I want to visit as many places as I can. If that includes attending a hockey game with my Ducks, that's even better. I also blog about food trucks at www.lookingforfoodtrucks.com. Find me on most social media platforms under #CallMeMochelle
Orange County, rejoice!! The newest location of this popular Cuban bakery and café is finally open in Buena Park, off the 91 freeway on Beach Blvd., next-door to medieval times. If you have ever been to any of the other locations, whether it’s Downey, Glendale, or Burbank, you […]
There’s so many varieties of fried chicken out there, so if you do have a favorite, this one could be added to your list as well. It’s not like Roscoes, it’s not like KFC, it’s not like Korean fried chicken. This Latin chicken has a flavor of its […]
Great little taqueria, located about 1 mile outside the downtown Santa Ana area on the corner of 5th Street and Raitt. Arrive early if you want a parking spot, or find one off the street. There’s a handful of tables in the equally small dining room. Like their […]
I never knew the Bruery had tours of their brewery! So on a lazy Sunday, Stephen and I stopped by the fulfillment center to pick up his Society allocation of beers, and popped into the tasting room for a flight. Just a little before 2:00 a staff member […]
Following the Ducks Select-a-Seat, the group of us went to Anepalco’s for brunch. They must have changed the menu because it seems more condensed, and a bit pricier. Stephen and I split the signature dish, their chilaquiles, and added carnitas to it. Sandy had the perdidos, which is […]
Every year the Anaheim Ducks invites Season Ticket holders to the “Select-A-Seat”, a chance to upgrade, add or downsize your seats. My friends go yearly, but I missed the past few years because my appointment time is usually too early. This year was no exception, it was scheduled […]
My coworker said his friend is having a pop up taco place in Gardena, and gave me the address. Located off 180th and Western, in an industrial printing warehouse was this little one day only pop-up taco place nicknamed “El Taco Box”. We arrived at 5:00 on a […]
You know how you start your review “I really wanted to give them 4 stars….”? Bashi is located in the 2nd level of the main house at the Terranea Resort. To the old timers, this was once the home to Marineland, a Sea World type theme park, which housed […]
The Olde Ship has 2 locations, one in Fullerton off Harbor Blvd. and this one in Santa Ana, just down the street from Santa Ana Community College. This location is much larger than Fullerton, and has more parking. When you walk in, there is definitely a British “pub” feel […]
This place is located next door to the newly opened “Noodle St”, located off State College and Chapman, down the street from CSU Fullerton. This tiny Taiwanese style tea house has about 5 tables inside, 2 tables outside, so ideally it’s a grab and go kind of place. […]
Located in a tiny, but very busy strip mall off State College and Chapman is this Chinese noodle place. It’s located in the building behind the Chipotle, which is across the street from the Mobil gas station / Pieology/ Whats up Men? The place is still in the […]
It was another beautiful, lazy Sunday in Southern California. Stephen and I had a fulfilling lunch and I suggested we walk off our meal at the Botanic Garden. We arrived roughly 2:00, and the parking lot was quite full. It has been about a year since we last […]
Imagine Project is solely committed to children’s theater. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization. FACT: Los Angeles County – home to at least ten million people – does not have a professional union theatre dedicated solely to children’s programming. Everyone deserves to get paid! It’s time to change […]
El Rocoto is located in a strip mall, sandwiched between a Ranch 99 Market, and Daiso discount store. There’s nothing out front to state its Peruvian (I always assumed it was Mexican, my bad). My normal go-to Peruvian place is Pollo Inka, located across the street, but a […]
Din Tai Fung is a world renown dumpling restaurant, given a Michelin star in 2010. Some people rave about it, and some people think it’s pretentious and overpriced. I have tried 3 of their Southern California locations and have noticed that there is a slight difference between the […]
Earlier this month I posted that Gringo Bandito hot sauce partnered with Slidebar in Fullerton to create the Cali Bandito Taco. The taco is essentially a deconstructed take on the California burrito and made with house made tortillas, topped with Gringo Bandito red marinated carne asada, french fries, cheddar […]
The Broad (pronounced brode) is a contemporary art museum founded by philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad located on Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles. Admission is free and there’s 2 ways to visit: get your tickets in advance, or stand in line. Tickets are released the 1st of each month, […]
