Bio

Hi there. I've been in Orange County since 1957 and used to be in outside sales. I've eaten at so many different places on expense accounts :-). When you read my ratings, keep in mind that I will rate a restaurant against its peers. I don't think you should rate a buffet against a fine dining place, we just aren't talking the same qualities. I'm having fun and I hope you do too.

Jims Burger	Buena Park, CA
Here is one of those burger stands that serves a wonderfully messy burger. The messier the better. But it's there pastrami sandwiches that are a winner. You can't go wrong here if you want an old fashioned messy, tasty burger.
Acapulco Mexican Restaurant	Cerritos, CA
This is the finest Mexican restaurant chain in the entire southwest (and some northwest locations). But don't go here for the normal tamales, enchiladas, burritos et. al.

But don't go here for the normal tamales, enchiladas, burritos et. al. Try the innovative dishes like "Tequila Lime Chicken (or Shrimp) Fajitas" or "Enchiladas stuffed with Shrimp". There is always something new on their menu. You don't have to have your entree with "Refried Beans", try "Frijoles Negros" or "Frijoles Charros". Look for discount coupons in the local Sunday papers, they give you a second entree for $1.49. Visit their website to see what new items will be on the menu. less
Carls Jr. Restaurants	Orange, CA
Normally I don't care for the production line type fast food places, but Carl's is in a class by itself. They use fresh ingredients (no mystery meat in their burgers). They are clean, and have plenty of parking. You can drive through or go inside. ... more Normally I don't care for the production line type fast food places, but Carl's is in a class by itself. They use fresh ingredients (no mystery meat in their burgers). They are clean, and have plenty of parking. You can drive through or go inside. If you go inside, they have a modest salad bar which can make for a nice meal or meal accompianment. The food is excellent, and the prices affordable for a young family on a budget. Try their "Baked Potatoes". less

Teds Burger	Orange, CA
The messier a burger is the better it tastes. They make wonderfully messy burgers here. This is typical of the fast food burger houses. Not fine dining, but pretty good food. And it's about the only place to eat in the entire neighborhood.
