  • 2008 | Best Place to Watch a Sunset and Listen to Live Reggae

    The upper floor of Mozambique feels like the creaky, alluring edge of a ship bound for somewhere far from Orange County. Thick curtains, huge 360-degree windows and a small stage with a million-dollar sound system in the middle of it all make this a must-stop on a Sunday afternoon. It's the only place in the county that features live roots reggae every Sunday while a big lazy sun dips into the ocean and colors the entire place pink. Two bars upstairs and a scrumptious African-fusion menu... More »

    The upper floor of Mozambique feels like the creaky, alluring edge of a ship bound for somewhere far from Orange County. Thick curtains, huge 360-degree windows and a small stage with a million-dollar sound system in the middle of it all make this a must-stop on a Sunday afternoon.

Two bars upstairs and a scrumptious African-fusion menu complement the beats that spill out of every door here before sunset.
