We normally get something to eat in Vegas before heading back to SoCal, but decided to grab a bite in Baker instead. We looked up places to eat, and Baker has all sorts of fast food from McD’s to KFC, and then they have the “famous” Mad Greek […]
I stopped here with coworkers for lunch. The food isn’t the best I’ve had but the price is fair and you get soup plus a drink! I had the 2 item lunch combo, and chose 2 chicken enchilada (red sauce) and it came with rice and beans. The beans […]
WHAT? No Taco Tuesday at this location?? I wonder if this is a franchise and not owned by the corporation? Regardless, I came to the one located off Jamboree on a Tuesday evening and maybe it was good there’s no Taco Tuesday. The place was busy but not […]
There’s so many Shabu places in SoCal, and yet Cal Shabu survives the test of time. I discovered the original California Shabu in Fountain Valley probably 15 years ago, after the original co-owner Taka, who worked at the Shabu Shabu House in Little Tokyo in downtown LA, opened his own store in […]
After shopping at Madpoppin, we spotted Tampopo Sushi and Ramen. When we walked in, the place was actually not busy and had me worried. Fortunately by the time we left, it got busier. Karen had the ramen, while I ordered 2 hand rolls: the spider roll and a […]
It’s been about 2 years since I was last at Brooklyn Bowl. The last few times I tried going, they had a private party and canceled my reservations. I had given up going here but I gave this place one more try on this visit. Hurrah! I got […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’m always looking out for Taco Tuesday specials, and never knew that Tilted Kilt had one. As we were leaving Tilted Kilt after a Ducks watch party, I spied the advertisement. So, last Tuesday, Karen and I decided to check out their Taco Tuesday (which also landed during […]
