Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen’s New ‘Cali Bandito Taco’
07.17.17
Not only has Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen in Fullerton won awards for being one of Orange County’s best live music destinations, but their menu offerings are equally noteworthy. Slidebar recently launched a must-try new taco in partnership with Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce. The “Cali Bandito Taco” is a spin on the late-night staple, the California Burrito. The taco is prepared using house made tortillas and topped with Gringo Bandito red marinated carne asada, french fries, cheddar cheese, sour cream and avocado crème.
Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce was founded in 2004 by Dexter Holland, frontman of the multi-platinum Orange County group The Offspring. And, Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen was founded in 2006 by Jeremy Popoff, member of OC’s very own rock icons Lit. Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce has been on a roll lately, over a million bottles sold and now there are three popular flavor varieties. All tables at Slidebar have two bottles of Gringo Bandito, so that you can try it with each dish.
Other highlights from Slidebar’s menu include the Carne Asada Fries or Tots covered with refried beans and carne asada topped with pico de gallo, quest fresco, and sour cream; Mac N Cheese Balls From Hell, Slidebar's Signature Mac N Cheese folded with savory bacon and diced jalapeño, rolled into panko bread crumbs and fried to a golden brown and served with habanero aioli for an extra kick.
Favorites from the “Headliners” include the California Burrito with marinated steak, French fries, cheddar and Monterrey Jack cheese, sour cream and avocado. Served with chips, salsa, and a side of beans; and the Firecracker Spaghetti tossed in a spicy firecracker sauce and served with seasoned chicken, broccoli, and dry-roasted peanuts. For something a bit lighter, go for the Firecracker Lettuce Wrap, with chicken breast, garlic, peanuts, broccoli, and our firecracker sauce wrapped in butter lettuce.
The dessert, a Whammy Bar is incredible, they take dense brownies with chocolate chip cookie dough fried in funnel cake batter. It comes with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Anyone who loves decadent desserts will love this.

Free Movie Mondays At Segerstrom Center for the Arts
07.17.17
Segerstrom Center for the Arts continues its Movie Mondays series with beloved movies spanning decades: 1978’s The Wiz on July 17, 1988’s Stand and Deliver on July 24, 1990’s Edward Scissorhands on July 31 and 2003’s School of Rock on August 7. The showings are FREE, and, for the first time, the Center will provide closed captioning. Movie Mondays is one of Orange County’s most popular summertime events, with its fun-filled activities, picnic dinners, popular food trucks and the fan-favorite films on consecutive Mondays.
The Center’s Julianne and George Argyros Plaza, where the films have been shown for the past 11 years, is undergoing construction and a dramatic transformation. In the interim, the films are shown on the lawn next to the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, which is the site for the new Orange County Museum of Art.
It’s best to arrive early for Movie Mondays, to claim your space and enjoy early dinners, music and people- watching. Set-up begins at 5:30 p.m., with movies starting at dusk (approximately 8 p.m.). You can bring beach chairs or other easily portable seating items, snacks and picnic suppers. Each Monday will feature different food trucks serving culinary sensations. Barbecues and similar food preparation are not permitted, and, due to space limitations this year, guests are asked to not bring tables. Prior to shows, there will be audience participation events.
600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa.
