Restaurants in Aliso Viejo

“Sandy was incredible! So polite, so well trained about the menu and all my questions. Pleasant! The food was very good.

Vegetarian options: Loved the vegetarian options!”

“Decided to stop here for a burrito before a long work day and was delighted with this place! I came 10 minutes late to pick up my order and they waited for me to get there before putting the ice in my coffee. The breakfast burrito I am almost confident is one of the best I've had. I will certainly be back!”

“Great place to visit old friends.”

“Very very high quality lamb meat. They do not skimp on ingredients. I used to always get my Indian food from Himalayan Taste and I always had bad lamb meat. I talked to the owner and gave them reviews, but alas, nothing worked. I’ve taken my business to this restaurant and all my friends are going to follow suit.
Tasty. Clean. Good petitions. Well deserved five stars.”

“The hostesses were amazing here! even though I was only picking up food to go they made me feel welcomed. they interacted me while I was waiting, which says a lot about creating a welcoming atmosphere.”

“Fresh fish expertly prepared by friendly chef with equally cheerful service staff! We will be back”

“They catered our monthly event we call "Together" at Calvary Chapel Pacific Hills last night and all of their food was fabulous! I wish I had known about them for my upcoming Fiesta event in May at my mobile home park. Well I know who will be catering it next year: TB!!!😋🥰😃”

“The meal is good for drive thru product service at the window was good. But at the speaker I didn't know if she got my order right. Well the order was good so all is good.”

“I've been coming here since I was a kid and it always satisfies! Today was wonderful. The french crepe was excellent. Honestly a huge highlight was our amazing waiter Cedric, who was an absolute ray of sunshine!! Cedric's enthusiasm really elevated our experience. Always a fan of Original House of Pancakes :)”

“We picked up food for visiting friends & the Cuisine was delicious & service was GREAT! Staff are super-friendly & professional. The Manager personally assisted Me w/ order pick-up & the online ordering process was smooth. We'll definitely order from Fennel everytime we entertain Guests. Thank You!”

“Tasty, delicious food every time. They are consistent. I especially like their house salad with ranch dressing, free pizza bread, garlic bread, chicken parmigiana pasta with meat sauce. These are my faves here. I love their pizza too.”

“Amazing sushi and great service. Definitely the highest quality sushi in town.



Parking: Some parking spots in the front. Lots of parking behind the restaurant.”

“Fresh, tasty, great combination of flavors and options on both salads and sammies. The natural sodas are a nice touch. Gotta try a cookie!💛 Staff has been consistently courteous and responsive. I’ve been three times. I CRAVE their salads.”

“This small wine and deli boutique is located in a small strip just behind a gas station. Limited parking but there is handicap parking.They have metal tables outside the door for relaxing and consuming your meal.The door is covered with signage and rules but don't let that deter you from entering the establishment.The inside drink and wine area is clean and well-stocked. The organization of the products was great.  As I walked to the back, to my right was a wine tasting bar and to my left was a pretty nice deli. The young lady at the cash register greeted me upon entering.  When I walked to the back of this quaint deli/wine store I came to a cooler well stocked with local and imported drinks of all kinds. It's not just a wine bar. It's not just a deli. It's an experience.They had many sandwiches to choose from but I chose the sausage breakfast burrito. It was recommended by the clerk that I get some green sauce with it and she was right. The burrito was pretty big and crafted with care. With each bite, I had a taste of the eggs, sausage, cheese, and hashbrowns. Many burritos I encounter are just thrown together and rolled up where you get a different burrito in each bite. You could see the care even in the wrapping and cutting in half for easier consumption.The size of the burrito:The burrito is about as round as a Starbucks Venti cold cup and the length of a Venti Starbucks plastic straw. The breakfast burrito was cut in half for easier consumption.It took about five minutes for the burrito to be ready for me to take it to go. Total was $10.76 with tax as of 1/7/24 and was worth it.It was a lot of fun browsing the cold fridge drinks and entertaining myself with their clever names while I waited for my meal.I definitely recommend this secret wonder if you're ever in the Aliso Viejo, Ca area.”

“Great service, great food!!👏”

“Not every croissant, Danish , or French bread are equal in life.
And you realize this the moment you take a bite of what this place makes. Everything is just leveled up.”

“Very good coffee above corporate level, coffee institutions.”

“Buen servicio de Alex 👍🏼 y la comida muy rica”

“This is a good neighborhood joint. It's not fancy, but the food is solid and the staff is attentive and friendly. If you go regularly, they'll remember your name.The have indoor seating (sushi bar and tables) and a small covered patio. They have fun hand-lettered signs with specials. Halibut carpaccio was one the specials tonight.If you go for lunch, they've got bento box specials that are tasty too.RECOMMEND

Parking: This is in in a large shopping plaza with a big parking lot. Parking is never a problem.

Kid-friendliness: They don't have a kids menu or specific option for kids. If your kid likes sushi or teriyaki or tempura, then your kid would do okay here.”

“Adamantium Steel Band!! Great Music!!🎉🎉🎉”

“First time here, just stopped by wanting a low carb healthy light meal. Got the salami club chopannini without ranch, nice and tasty! Also service was A+, thanks guys!”

“….Eureka!

That’s what I wanted to say when I discovered the place..Eureka! …From the outside, you’d never guess this place existed. But once I stepped through the front door, I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was captivating, and, believe it or not, they backed it up with great food.

Our server, Carissa, was perfect through our Labor Day lunch!, so I tipped her generously—she earned it.

I kicked off the feast with a Mexican beer called Explorado Lager. I lost count of how many I had, but it was something special—fruity, as my date noted, and I have to agree. It was different, in the best way!

We shared a plate of slow-roasted pork nachos and a plate of wings, they were definitely worth it.
I wrapped things up with the Napa chicken sandwich, which was spot on—the sauce was a perfect hit. Honestly, it felt like I was dining in a four-star restaurant. These folks really know their sauces.

“It was my first time going , The grill seems to get a lot of attention, l went to try the grill myself and let’s just say l after the 1st bite I forgot all about taking a photo for the review ?

Definitely would come again hopefully I can take a picture for I eat it.”

“My 82 year old mom has Thai food first time in her life today. She agreed since she was hungry and didn’t like anything nearby. All my life she said she would never eat it. Well she shared my Pad Thai and liked it. She even took and order home with her. As we we’re leaving I ordered Thai Ice tea. She loved that also. She called me this afternoon telling me that my sister and her plan to go on Saturday. I eat there all the time with my family. We love the place.”

“First time ordering from Porky's Pizza. And...Wow!! Excellent!! One of the very best pizzas we've had in Orange County since moving from New York! Crust is fabulous and pizza topping outstanding! Will be ordering many more pizzas from Porky's. Would highly recommend.Also, very clean and friendly service. Five-plus stars for sure!!!”

“James at Angry Chickz in Glendale is an asset. Great service and friendly. Food is tasty, but it’s the people that will have us returning.”

“Hello again I hope you are understanding how good the food is ! 😊”

“Some of the best non-authentic Mexican chain restaurants out there. A little more expensive than regular Mexican fast food chains like Del Taco or Taco Bell, but you definitely get what you pay for. Huge portions, I go here instead of Chipotle because they have a lot more options.”

“The habit is in the top tier of chain burger places. The food is consistent and I don't think I've had bad service ever. This location is no different. Today I had the chicken club and the fried green beans. The green beans are a staple of the habit and I get them almost every time. The food was cooked well and despite it being busy, it didn't take too long. I recommend this place to everyone

Parking: The shopping center is very busy and has a lot of different businesses but the parking lot is huge so there's always a spot not too far from the front.”

“Food is always good and yummy. Love their sweet tea and kids meals are the best.”
