On Tuesday night I was invited back to SAJJ Mediterranean in Rancho Santa Margarita to cover the media event for their new chocolate hummus. Unfortunately I was not able to attend, so my partner-in-crime, Chrissy went for me. Here’s her recap: Originally a food truck, SAJJ Mediterranean currently operates two […]
Pub McLean’s is located about 2 blocks our downtown Montreal hotel. While in flight from Los Angeles, I messaged the owner via Yelp and asked if we could make a reservations to watch the Ducks vs. Senators game at 7:00. No problem. When we arrived, the assistant manager […]
This place has been bookmarked for the longest time, as I definitely love the Rao’s sauce that you can get at the market. Best sauce on the market, hands down. So I decided to bite the bullet and have dinner here after the Elton John show, and made […]
Nando’s is a worldwide Portuguese flamed grilled chicken restaurant chain founded in South Africa. Their chicken is seasoned and marinaded in a peri-peri sauce. It’s Portuguese in origin and made from crushed chilies, citrus peel, onion, pepper, salt, lemon juice, bay leaves, paprika, pimiento, basil, oregano, and tarragon. […]
I grew up in Palos Verdes area, and passed by this place hundreds of times as I ran errands, went to my dentist, or (remember this) get my photos from Longs Drugs. Fast forward 30 years, and my parents wanted to take Stephen out for his birthday. Rather than […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Ask someone where to go for German food in Southern California and people would say Old World in Huntington Beach, Alpine Village in Torrance, Matterns in Orange, or Jägerhaus in Anaheim. One hidden gem can be found in La Habra, off Imperial Blvd. and Beach Blvd., located in […]
I was driving through Buena Park and stumbled on Aji Limon. Located near Lincoln and Knott, in the corner of the Big 5 parking lot is this simple restaurant. The menu had your typical Peruvian items, and they even notated what is Chinese inspired and what is Japanese inspired, […]
The month of May is a busy time for me. It’s not just Mother’s day but my mother’s birthday, my sister’s birthday, my brother in law’s birthday (well, April, but we squish his into May) and my sister and brother in law’s anniversary. Whew! We decided to […]
I was craving Peruvian food, and my usual “go to” place El Pollo Inka is all the way in the South Bay. Thanks to yelp, I discovered this mom n pop place that’s located down the street from Disneyland, just off Ball and Euclid, in a busy strip mall […]
I was invited by a fellow SoCal blogger to try Taqueros. She couldn’t stop raving about this place, so I relented, and drove down to San Juan Capistrano to see what this Mexican restaurant was all about. Located down the road from JSerra High School, and a few […]
