  • OC Weekly GUSTAVO ARELLANO writes for OC Weekly on Restaurant Mary

    When I first arrived in SanTana as an adult a decade ago, all of my pals said I had to go visit Restaurant Mary. There was no urgency to their recommendation—no buzz dish to try, no colorful chef, just a good restaurant that santaneros took their mamis to, where eldery tías out for a night on the town would gather to eat and gossip for hours. "It's...

  • OC Weekly GUSTAVO ARELLANO writes for OC Weekly on Tito’s La Familia

    Orange County has hard tacos and soft tacos, lonchera tacos and those bought at drive-thrus. Korean tacos and gourmet ones, varieties bought frozen and those prepared at home. The mighty taco acorazado at Alebrije's and even rarer ones such as beso de monja, a Cuernavacan speciality that's like a three-layered ham-and-bacon taco made with flour tortillas. Hell, we even have...

    This is a great place to stop and grab some food on your way down to the beach, it is reasonably priced and pretty damn good. But, remember if you take food to the beach cover anything that resembles a grocery bag or food container with your towel or the Seagulls (flying rats) will come and make a mess out of everything while you hop in the water.

    Good press, unfortunate results... I am always on the hunt for restaurants with varying shades of Latin American cuisine: you name it, I'll try it - and I will have an opinion. The beauty in most Latin American fare is it is bursting with flavors from chili rubs to exotic fruits and grain and it's preparation can awaken your senses and transport you to another...
