    Mercado Gonzales on Harbor and Wilson, Costa Mesa

    Went on a Sunday and waited 25 minutes for some pork tacos. We divided and conquered and had some seafood and Mexican sushi. The pork chicharron was insanely good but the other items were just okay. I think it's a fun way to spend a slow or lazy weekend if you treat it like Disneyland and expect...

    Dolan's: I like the meat pie. It is the size of a blaze pizza (next door) but has some really nice texture and flavors. My wife liked the noodles that are chopped to the point that they look almost like little cubes. I'm not sure that I like this type of food but I think it is a great option to...

    Mercado Gonzales on Harbor and Wilson, Costa Mesa

    Sounds a bit like Cravings by 99 Ranch in Chino. I like the concept and I'm not sure why it hasn't taken off more. I think the H-Mart implementation of it at Culver/Irvine Blvd is fine but could use more restaurants and more money into the actual execution of the spaces. There's also Mendo at...

    ICE or EV?

    A lot of tech companies in general wouldn't exist without cheap money policies. It's almost as if cheap money is meant to encourage economic growth through risk-taking??

    Personally I'd just get the 3 taquitos, no combo. While it is a tasty snack from time to time, it is a lot of fried food and they don't have an alternative of just like...a taco. I don't see the place lasting the test of time unless the concept changes. I would prefer just like...a chipotle...

    School Bus for Irvine Schools

    I also rode my bike to school. I grew up a lot poorer than we are today. But now that we're living in million dollar houses that we could not have contemplated before, I feel like we've solved for a lot of our material wants but for safety. I'm not saying don't ride your bike. I think people...

    Not coming to US sadly. I'm not aware of a single electric wagon option for US buyers.

    ICE or EV?

    If the EV truck craze is waning, maybe Ford could be bothered to cut the price on the F150 lightning? I'm still not seeing any lease deals on it: https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/f-150-lightning-reservation-ordering-discussion/391155/605

    Can you comment on CRE inventory in Irvine? I have been trying to learn about that market but haven't been impressed by what I've seen on Loopnet.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    No, I believe in a free market and free trade. I think that government regulation often leads to unintended consequences. The power to tax is the power to destroy. We can agree to disagree.

    I think it's pretty dumb to be modeling US laws on Chinese restrictions.

    I was about to dismiss this place as yet another place disguising mediocre coffee with milk and sugar but then I saw the single brew chemexes of 100% Kona peaberry coffee. Yet another place to try!
