Ok. This is not taco bell. This is upscale, gourmet mexican food in a fast food building. No drive through. No great views. No beautiful dining room or free chips. Paper plates and a serve yourself salsa bar. A patio view of the DMV and McDonalds. Small parking lot and uneven patio. BUT...the BEST GOURMET MEXICAN FOOD you will get anywhere!!! You cant go wrong with anything you order. I am particularly fond of their nachos and salads. We buy the tamales by the dozen for Christmas dinner. EVERYTHING is wonderful. But check it out for yourself, press reviews and menus are available at taco mesa dot net.
Bring a relaxed attitude and be prepared for great food and plenty of it. This is one of the most casual restaurants you will find. Flip flops and shorts, uniforms and suits....all in the same place at lunch time. This is seriously one of the best dining bargains in the OC--IMHO.
Pros: Food, quality and presentation is terrific; excellent kids menu
Cons: limited seating, parking, view....Not a lot of room for kids to run around

I bought my baby's organic baby food at Mother's. At only 89 cents per jar. The price is just the same as Gerber's baby food which is sold at regular grocery stores. Mother's carries the top two organic baby and toddler food, Healthy Times and Earth's Best. As my baby became a toddler I took advantage of Mother's great selection of organic cereals and snack bars.
PROS: Price can't be beat for organic baby food!
CONS: The aisles are a bit narrow

It makes so much sense to order takeout food online. I have been waiting for a website like liveonthego for so long. It makes ordering lunch while I am working so much faster, I no longer spend my lunch break waiting in lines and waiting for my food to be prepared it is ready and waiting for me when I walk in the restaurant. I would highly recommended this site.

Not what you would expect from a Costa Mesa strip mall- this place is an absolutely adorable spot with a lot of character and plenty of flavor. The interior instantly transports you to a different day and age far from the commercialized California that permeates the scene of every street nowadays. There are many different omelettes to choose from with names and indredients that are eccentric and fun, and waffle combos that are sinfully succulent. There is a lunch menu, but why try anything but breakfast at a place with a signature breakfast dish in it's name?
Pros: Food with a side of fun!
Cons: crowds during typical breakfast hours

The fish, Steak, Chicken & Pork tacos, Enchiladas, Burritos are great. My Favorite is the Blacken Fish Enchiladas with the Wahoo's Green Sauce with Cajun White Beans and white Rice. Yummy. I really like them. The Baja Rolls and Chips with homemade salsa are great too everything is really good.. I wouldn't say this place is cheap but more like moderately priced. Two people (with realistic appetites) can eat for around $10 to $15. Service is great the food well be table in no time.. This place has a very casual atmosphere. And near the beach so you can walk your meal off afterwards. The Manager is really Nice her name is Gabby and the staff is great too.
PROS: Everything is Yummy and save your Wahoo's cup refills .50cents
CONS: you can buy beer

I go to many wahoos restaurants and I think this one is the cleanest. So if you are looking to go inside come here. I am not a fan of sea food or fish tacos, but this place does it right. they are very inexpensive tacos that are of high quality for about $2. If you refuse to eat seafood they can still help you out. They also have a wide selection of Mexican food. I once had a burrito from here and it was very filling and very delicious and it only cost me $4. Come on in and have a good meal!

I have been eating at this great little place for 10 years now. They have several locations in the OC. I think the Lake Forest location was the first one. Nonetheless, the food is pretty consistent throughout. The staple dish of the restaurant is the Lomo Saltado (Sauteed steak w/ onions, tomatoes & fries) and I highly recommend it. They also have a great Jalea (fried seafood with onions and lime), this dish is meant to be shared with friends because it is huge! I'm getting hungry writing this :)
