Mercado review. Mexican Brunch in Los Angeles

We decided to meet up with some friends for brunch, the place was Mercado, a newish Mexican restaurant. They have a few locations but we went to the Mercado on West 3rd street. I should start with the bad first as I do with most of my reviews. The only negatives I found were really minor, we went…

$1.49 each? Don’t mind if I get 15 of these Young Thai Coconuts!

My sister once got me the coolest little gadget and it lets me open coconuts easily. Young thai coconuts open in 2 seconds with this and this is why I buy 15 or more coconuts at a time.

Taps Fish House & Brewery

We went to Taps Fish House & Brewery in Irvine at The Market Place and decided to check it out. They opened recently after they took over the Bucca di Beppo location. Helen liked it a lot more than I did. For me, the place left a little bit to be desired. The food was good, but their…
