Retail Openings and Closures

Highly recommend gorditas at Gabbys Kitchen in Old Town Orange. It’s also Michelin Guide and the sister restaurant of Chaak in Tustin. The three gorditas were about $19, but they were pretty filling, lightly crispy corn(?) outside, with very tender and juicy pork belly on the inside. Not overly salty like most restaurants. Just dip it in the guac that comes with the dish. Their steak tacos were also great because they were a little smoky and also not over cooked or over-salted.

I’m a sucker for birria tacos at La Tia Tacos in Lake Forest and Mission Viejo.

Also checked out a Michelin guide Mayan cuisine place named Chaak in Old Town Tustin last week for gourmet smoked duck and pork shoulder tacos. Flavor depth was great.

There's a Tacos Los Cholos in Santa Ana now.

Unfortunately for my heart and waistline I found out about this several days ago

Oh damn. Is that the one on jamboree/barranca? I get take out for my wife from there, she isn’t going to like that. Just looked up Wallace, seems interesting. Describes as the Asian chik fila. Looking forward to trying it out.

Yep... that Arby's has been there for decades.. just the like the Wienerdudes and Burger Kings that used to be in Irvine.

I'm surprised Carl's Jr is still making it.

It’s ok if the city is getting real food places instead of junk/fake food

I guess that will help prevent colon cancer in the younger generation.
