Any good grub by the beach?

Thumbnail
I'll be flying back into town next week, and I'm thinking of rewarding my dad with a pleasant dinner after picking me up at Long Beach Airport. Any not-stuffy-but-still-nice Italian spots (or anything else good, for that matter) in Huntington or Newport with a nice ocean view? I may even do Laguna, depending on how far I can convince Dad to drive. ;-)See More

Panaderia El Buen Gusto in Santa Ana

This is one of my favorite bakeries in OC! They have all sorts of delicious Mexican and Guatemalan sweets, as well as great savory tamales.

Marche Moderne: C'est si bon!

My goodness, a fabulously delicious French Bistro in Orange County? In South Coast Plaza? Are you kidding me?That would have been my response before Marche Moderne opened. And since I'm back in OC this week to visit the family, I figured I should finally give this place a try while I'm in town. And oh yes, thank goodness I did!The bread and butter were a good sign of what was to come. The butter was nice and sweet, and the bread was soft and fresh.And from here, on to the cheese course. Great…See More

Great Pan Dulce & Tamales at Panaderia El Buen Gusto!

Posted on February 21, 2010 at 8:57pm 0 Comments

What else can I say? My dad knows his OC Mexican joints best... And apparently, the Guatemalan and Salvadoran ones as well!



This is not just a fantastic Mexican panaderia (bakery), but also a great place for authentic Guatemalan treats. My cheese and chile tamales were much better than expected, with delicate cheese flavor and a spicy kick from the chiles. And even better, the "Guatemalan cheesecake" was just totally addictive! It was amor at first bite!



So next time… Continue

Pizzeria Ortica: My New Fave Pizza in OC

Posted on February 21, 2010 at 8:31pm 0 Comments

Finally, FINALLY, Orange County can claim its own great pizzeria! David Myers has really blessed OC with Pizzeria Ortica. I tried it tonight with my dad. He's hard to impress (he just isn't a foodie), but even he admitted that dinner here was worth it.



His Milanesa Pizza was simply stunning. The fried egg on top complemented the asparagus, the fontina, and the parmigiano quite well. Oh, and my Pizza alla Nonna was also quite delicious. The cherry tomatoes and eggplant fit in… Continue
