Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Can any of you locals recommend a good breakfast as well as a mexican place for later? Satying in Anaheim, FWIW.
Chef Jim Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Can any of you locals recommend a good breakfast as well as a mexican place for later? Satying in Anaheim, FWIW. This is a great breakfast place. Not too near Anaheim but not far from Laguna Niguel. This place is a LuLu. And this placeis great. Right on the cliffs in Laguna Beach. Gotta go for their Champagne brunch. Las Brisas
Tony P Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 And this placeis great. Right on the cliffs in Laguna Beach. Gotta go for their Champagne brunch. Las Brisas A must for us whenever we're in the LA area.
Chef Jim Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 A must for us whenever we're in the LA area. I used to live a couple of miles from Laguna Beach and really miss it. But the food and wine scene here in SF is juuuuuust fine.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 I used to live a couple of miles from Laguna Beach and really miss it. But the food and wine scene here in SF is juuuuuust fine. It was super-crowded yesterday in Laguna. Weather beautiful.

Right on the cliffs in Laguna Beach. Gotta go for their Champagne brunch. Las Brisas Amen to Las Brisas ... easily the best place in OC. I Used to work for a company based there and we always went to that place.
Chef Jim Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 It was super-crowded yesterday in Laguna. Weather beautiful. Hopefully you didn't try and get there going down Laguna Canyon Rd. We always went the "back way" way down Crown Valley Pkwy.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 Hopefully you didn't try and get there going down Laguna Canyon Rd. We always went the "back way" way down Crown Valley Pkwy. Actually we did beause there was a sigalert on I-5 so we had to get off or sit there not moving
Chef Jim Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Actually we did beause there was a sigalert on I-5 so we had to get off or sit there not moving I do not miss that SoCal traffic.
IDBillzFan Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) Actually we did beause there was a sigalert on I-5 so we had to get off or sit there not moving You picked a great time to visit SoCal. Amazing weather we've been having. Going to be in the high 70s this week. (CURSE YOU, BILL NYE AND YOUR GLOBAL WARMING STORIES!! ) Edited September 6, 2010 by LABillzFan
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 You picked a great time to visit SoCal. Amazing weather we've been having. Going to be in the high 70s this week. (CURSE YOU, BILL NYE AND YOUR GLOBAL WARMING STORIES!! ) Passed through your neck of the woods on the way to the LA County Fair in Pomona today. I'm sad to report that I fly home tomorrow. Bummer, because like you said the weather is fantastic here.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 Recommendation: If you're in Anaheim, check out La Casa de Garcia. It is REAL DEAL Mexican food, real cheap. If you're a cracker like me, you'll probably be the only white guy in there, but it is WELL worth the trip. Three of us ate for $20 and were very satisfied.

Well to tell you the truth you were probably the only white guy in all of southern CA.

Spun Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 I don't know much about Anaheim as I am in S.D. I only visit Anaheim for an occasional hockey game. I do know of a good breakfast spot in Huntington Beach called the Sugar Shack on Main Street. Good food, good portions and fair price. It can get crowded quickly so arrive early especially on weekends. As for good casual Mexican in S.D. I would consider El Comal on Illinois Street and El Zarape on Adams.

I heard the Sugar Shack makes a mean Date shake.
Chef Jim Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 I heard the Sugar Shack makes a mean Date shake. The best date shakes are in Palm Springs. Reason number one they've got the best dates and reason number two they taste so damn good in 110 degree heat.

Chef Jim Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 I hear they're outstanding. Very rich but gooooooooood.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 Very rich but gooooooooood. I'm a big fan of dates. Eat them standalone a lot. Medjools mainly.
