Best Places to Eat in Orange County
BRICK
There is an expression in English about how everything tastes better over a fire (the smoke and flames give such delicious flavors to foods!). BRICK takes this idea and incorporates it into its San Clemente restaurant, which serves Italian cuisine that is prepared in its wood-fired oven.

Taco Maria
In 2018, the LA Times voted Costa Mesa’s Taco Maria as Restaurant of the Year. What makes Taco Maria so special? Chef Carlos Salgado, an OC native, creates what he calls Alta California cuisine, which consists of Mexican and American ingredients and dishes. The restaurant supports regional farmers and uses fish and meat from sustainable farms and local fishermen.
The Ranch
Yeehaw! (That’s what cowboys say when they are excited.) The Ranch in Anaheim serves traditional American regional cuisine and uses meats from the restaurant’s own farm. Try Texas quail, oysters baked with local cheeses, or some of California’s famous Castroville artichokes at this restaurant, which teaches its diners about regional cuisine and local products. After dinner, enjoy line dancing on the restaurant dance floor!
Vaca
Spain meets California with Vaca, a Spanish restaurant located in Costa Mesa. Chef Amar Santana, who was recently a runner-up on the TV show Top Chef, offers traditional Spanish tapas and modern twists to classic dishes from Barcelona, the Basque Country, Andalucia, and Sevilla.
Vine
California’s famous wine country, Napa Valley, comes to Southern California with the San Clemente restaurant called Vine. This restaurant focuses on seasonal menus that highlight the fresh produce in California (and its quality meat, seafood, and wines).
