Turkish Delights

12.08.09

Hooray for another Turkish eatery in Orange County. If you’re a fan of perfectly spiced kebabs, hummus, eggplant dips and doner—tender meat that’s sliced off a rotating spit—you’ll enjoy the fare at Spinner’s Turkish Kebabs in Fountain Valley. Locals are raving about the Halal-certified restaurant and its flavorful offerings, from kofte (a ground meat patty seasoned with parsley and mint) and spicy chicken kebabs to the shawarma (shaved meat tucked in lavash or pita sandwich)—all reasonably priced, too.

Don’t forget to nab some baklava to finish your meal on a sweet note and some house Turkish tea, which is complimentary.

Hippie taco heaven?

12.04.09

Ah, the little hippie taco stand that could. Locals will tell you that Taco Loco in Laguna Beach has become a little hole-in-the-wall icon of the picturesque seaside town. Purists may decry the Californianized Mexican fare, what with offerings like the blackened mushroom and tofu taco ($3) to calamari nachos, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less enjoyable. Perhaps the most popular item there? The blackened mushroom and tofu burger—just a basic a square of tofu with sauteed mushrooms that’s made thoroughly satisfying with a scoop of avocado pico de gallo and healthy douse of hot sauce ($6).

Then head outside at the patio tables to scarf down your meal while watching PCH traffic whiz by and let that ocean breeze hit you. Now that’s a quintessential coastal California moment.

Taco Loco is located at 640 S. Coast Hwy in Laguna Beach
949.497.1635
