Another key factor in deciding where to go? The food, of course.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=11452\">Experimental pill promises new hope for deadly pancreatic cancer<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Also see: The best things we ate at Southern California restaurants in April 2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here\u2019s a look at nearby eateries to try around Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Inland Empire, according to our reporters.<\/p>\n<iframe allow=\"geolocation\" allowfullscreen=\"yes\" allowtransparency=\"1\" class=\"iframe\" height=\"500px\" id=\"6a1e061484f08\" loading=\"lazy\" scrolling=\"yes\" src=\"https:\/\/flo.uri.sh\/visualisation\/21910616\/embed\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe>\n<p>Related: See the best things we ate in Southern California in 2025.<\/p>\n<h3>Ahi Nachos \u2014 The Beachcomber, Crystal Cove<\/h3>\n<p>My mom\u2019s an Orange County native, so whenever my parents are visiting Southern California, we try to aim to grab a bite to eat that has a view of the ocean. The Beachcomber at Crystal Cove is one of our favorites. It\u2019s located on the beach, near all of the very popular Crystal Cove cottages. The restaurant itself is very popular, so if it\u2019s booked for the evening, you might have better luck grabbing a table outside by the bar.<\/p>\n<p>We mixed it up with a few options: ahi tacos, mini lobster rolls, artichoke hearts, but the standout for me was the ahi nachos. While the ahi nachos and ahi tacos might seem very similar, and transparently they are, the slight differences did make me lean more in favor of the nachos. The garlic sweet chili sauce and soy citrus vinaigrette really brought out the flavor and then as a California girl, I\u2019m always in favor of some avocado, which the tacos are without. It was also easier to eat the nachos, as the tacos break after your first bite, and if you\u2019re clumsy like me, that means you often spill some of the ahi on yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Either way you really can\u2019t go wrong with the menu. Just know though that if you\u2019re planning to visit, typically you park across the street at the state park lot and then you can either walk down or take the shuttle.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Carolyn Burt, Audience Engagement Producer<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Ciccio pizza \u2014 Truly Pizza, Dana Point\/Laguna Beach<\/h3>\n<p>The recent opening of its second location in Laguna Beach proved that Truly Pizza hasn\u2019t lost an ounce of momentum during the coastal expansion. Occupying the former Number Three Restaurant space on Coast Highway, the menu offers a few stellar new additions against a fresh backdrop.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Chief among them is the ciccio pie, a wafer-thin, crispy tomato pie. Its edges are ever-so-slightly charred, offering a subtle bitter note to cut through the richness of garlic oil and generous dusting of grated provolone, delivering a sharp, delightful funk to each crunchy bite. You could, and should, eat the entire thing by yourself in one sitting, should the mood strike. Available at both Dana Point and Laguna Beach locations.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Brock Keeling, Restaurant Reporter<\/em><\/p>\n<div><ul><div><div><li><div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Back Abbey Burger is seen in Upland, CA on...\" class=\"wp-image-11454\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2cb127493a61d76202c28fc0ca943f58-1024x683.webp\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2cb127493a61d76202c28fc0ca943f58-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2cb127493a61d76202c28fc0ca943f58-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2cb127493a61d76202c28fc0ca943f58-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2cb127493a61d76202c28fc0ca943f58.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<div>The Back Abbey Burger is seen in Upland, CA on May 10, 2026.

I opted for their Fhun Diip, which was this month\u2019s rotating appetizer and bruschetta inspired. The whipped ricotta cheese with cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and micro greens served with a lightly toasted baguette was phenomenal. I would have honestly eaten just the dip as my meal.<\/p>\n<p>For my main, I went for the Back Abbey burger, which features aged gouda, mustard aioli, caramelized onions, Niman Ranch bacon and micro greens. The burger was cooked perfectly, and it may be controversial, but I love that they serve their burgers with a side salad. Their fries, which are fried in duck fat, are a wonderful addition on the side, if you\u2019re missing the classic staple though. My meal, coupled with a few cocktails, made it a relaxing and laid back Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>\u2014 Mercedes Cannon-Tran, Local Reporter<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Fried Mangonada \u2014 Chicken Charlie\u2019s, LA County Fair\/Pomona<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to fair food, the fewer questions you ask, the better. The spirit of the fair involves a bit of gluttony, and as an attendee, you can decide if you want savory, sweet, or both. The fried mangonada is among the foods at the L.A. County Fair that could serve as a dessert or snack, depending on your mood.<\/p>\n<p>The dish is cooked up by Chicken Charlie\u2019s and made with fresh mango slices dipped in pancake batter, deep-fried, and topped with chamoy and Taj\u00edn, served with a slice of lime. Pancake batter with fruit is a tale as old as time, but topped with spicy power and chamoy, it\u2019s a different animal. Surprisingly, it pairs better than one might anticipate, but then again, that\u2019s fair food. Don\u2019t get too bogged down by trying to make it make sense.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Charlie Vargas, Features Reporter<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Related: Your ticket to 5 wacky foods to try at the 2026 LA County Fair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Crab Rangoon Roll \u2014 Slurp, San Diego<\/h3>\n<p>In terms of size, Slurp\u2019s crab rangoon roll looks more like a crunch wrap supreme, which is part of the appeal. The menu item had a bit of a moment on social media after videos of people trying the dish became popular because of the crisp, crunchy noise you can hear as people bite into the rangoon.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to get this dish, definitely share it. It\u2019s located in a food hall, which also means there are plenty of options if you want to mix and match with friends. The other thing I noticed was that the edge pieces were crispier and, in my opinion, tastier. Sometimes the food doesn\u2019t always live up to the hype of a social media trend, but in this case, I was glad I finally got to try it.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=11450\">Billionaire media mogul\u2019s company offers to buy MGM Resorts in $18B deal<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Carolyn Burt, Audience Engagement Producer<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>El Ching\u00f3n \u2014 Tacos &amp; Beer Mi Lindo Mexico, Temecula<\/h3>\n<p>El Chingon may be the only taco I\u2019ve been tempted to eat with a knife and fork. It\u2019s one of the specialty items at Tacos &amp; Beer Mi Lindo Mexico. El Chingon features a large slice of ribeye steak topped with grilled shrimp, queso fresco, and a generous scoop of guacamole. That\u2019s a lot to put on a yellow corn tortilla, even a large one. With a complimentary basket of tortilla chips and tasty salsa, it made for a satisfying lunch. El Chingon costs $10.40 a la carte. There\u2019s also a location in Hemet.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Fielding Buck, Restaurant Reporter<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Fried Chicken Biscuit \u2014 Thunderbolt, Echo Park, Los Angeles<\/h3>\n<p>This dedicated gluten-free cocktail bar has amazing Southern-inspired food, and the fried chicken biscuit is a must-order. Gluten-free fried chicken alone is a rarity, but this sandwich tastes just as good as a version with gluten, if not better, according to my partner.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not greasy, but it satisfies you in the way you\u2019d want a fried chicken sandwich to. The biscuit itself is perfectly soft and fluffy. Complete with hot sauce and coleslaw, this hit the spot for our late-night cravings.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t get me started about the atmosphere of Thunderbolt! The cozy yet energized seating with mood lighting makes for the perfect background for a get-together with friends, co-workers, or literally anyone.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Teagan Davidge, Audience Engagement Producer<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Quesabirria \u2014 Birrieria La Tapatia, Costa Mesa<\/h3>\n<p>Mercado Gonz\u00e1lez remains one of Orange County\u2019s great wonders. Though it\u2019s only a touch over two years old, the epic 70,000-square-foot food hall and market, which draws inspiration from the labyrinthine bazaars of Mexico, is my go-to spot on Thursday nights. Even at 9 p.m.-ish, the place buzzes with diners, shoppers, live music, and even the occasional spate of impromptu dancing.<\/p>\n<p>Outside on the patio, however, the mood is more subdued, with seating aplenty. Recently, I\u2019ve been drawn to ordering quesabirria from Birrieria La Tapatia, one of the myriad food vendors inside the space. There\u2019s a reason why the taco has surged in popularity over the last few years \u2013 it\u2019s tasty! The cheesy, red-hued taco packed with brothy stewed beef remains one of my favorite eats inside the complex. Radish slices on the side add a welcome freshness to balance the richness and heat.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Brock Keeling, Restaurant Reporter<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0Shwarma Cone \u2014 Chicken Charlie\u2019s, LA County Fair\/Pomona<\/h3>\n<p>When I visit the fair, I like to get as much done as I can in the day, and sometimes I don\u2019t want to sit down to eat a full meal, and Chicken Charlie\u2019s Shawarma Cone makes it possible and seamless. The shawarma cone is served with grilled, marinated chicken or beef with house-made garlic paste, pickles, pickled turnips, onion, parsley, and a sumac blend, finished with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses and more garlic sauce, all over crispy fries. What captured my taste buds on the first bite was the chicken\u2019s charcoal-like, fresh-off-the-grill flavor. Delicious and convenient.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Charlie Vargas, Features Reporter<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Cajun Shrimp Taco \u2014 Shrimp Shack Cajun Fusion, Riverside<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m a big fan of food halls since they allow visitors to hop around different food varieties. They\u2019re perfect for going with a group as well, if everyone is in the mood for something different, or maybe you go in with a strategy of being able to try as many options as possible.<\/p>\n<p>I recently visited the Riverside Food Lab next to the Historic Mission Inn. I went with Cajun Shrimp Tacos as well as the Cajun Garlic Noodle. While the noodles didn\u2019t stand out to me, the shrimp tacos were delightful. The seasoning amplified the experience and added a fun change of pace from classic shrimp or fish tacos.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Carolyn Burt, Audience Engagement Producer<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Birria de res \u2014 El Maguey, San Juan Capistrano<\/h3>\n<p>Heritage Barbecue, Mayfield, and El Campeon Taqueria get a lot of attention and ink. Rightfully so. But inch up Camino Capistrano a bit further, and you\u2019ll find an underrated South County culinary trilogies: El Nopal Mercado, a small Mexican grocery store; Lunita\u2019s Pizza (to-go only, thank you), and El Maguey, all within the same lot, across from the city\u2019s stunning postmodern library.<\/p>\n<p>At El Maguey, I usually order the albondigas when available \u2013 though the meatball soup is often sold out, and alas, it was during a recent visit \u2013 so I opted instead for the birria de res. The plate here comes with braised marinated beef and pork paired with beans and a side of rice. It\u2019s rich, deeply savory, and unfussy in the best way possible.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=11448\">Irvine dog trainer on trial for deaths of nearly a dozen canines in his care<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Brock Keeling, Features Reporter<\/em><\/p>\n<iframe allow=\"geolocation\" allowfullscreen=\"yes\" allowtransparency=\"1\" class=\"iframe\" height=\"500px\" id=\"6a1e0614863a3\" loading=\"lazy\" scrolling=\"yes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/2\/embed?mid=1dczr8VMT2jucJRkhCav_aT30gUckv90&amp;ehbc=2E312F&amp;noprof=1\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe>\n<p>See more of our round-ups of the best things we ate in Southern California.<\/p>\n<iframe allow=\"geolocation\" allowfullscreen=\"yes\" allowtransparency=\"1\" class=\"iframe\" height=\"500px\" id=\"6a1e0614863bf\" loading=\"lazy\" scrolling=\"yes\" src=\"https:\/\/flo.uri.sh\/visualisation\/28775787\/embed\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe>\n<blockquote><p>The best things we ate at Southern California restaurants in April<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"yPZfoViXaV\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"282\" loading=\"lazy\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" scrolling=\"no\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/2026\/05\/01\/the-best-things-we-ate-at-southern-california-restaurants-in-april-2026\/embed\/#?secret=yPZfoViXaV\" title=\"\u201cThe best things we ate at Southern California restaurants in April\u201d \u2014 Orange County Register\" width=\"500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The best things we ate at Southern California restaurants in February<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"kUGtYeTTEt\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"282\" loading=\"lazy\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" scrolling=\"no\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/2026\/02\/26\/the-best-things-we-ate-at-southern-california-restaurants-in-february-2\/embed\/#?secret=kUGtYeTTEt\" title=\"\u201cThe best things we ate at Southern California restaurants in February\u201d \u2014 Orange County Register\" width=\"500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The best things we ate at Southern California restaurants in January<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"VWu2jp8htL\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"282\" loading=\"lazy\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" scrolling=\"no\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/2026\/01\/31\/the-best-things-we-ate-at-southern-california-restaurants-in-january-2\/embed\/#?secret=VWu2jp8htL\" title=\"\u201cThe best things we ate at Southern California restaurants in January\u201d \u2014 Orange County Register\" width=\"500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The best things we ate at Southern California restaurants in 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"jjFG9xC08c\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"282\" loading=\"lazy\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" scrolling=\"no\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/2025\/12\/18\/the-best-things-we-ate-at-southern-california-restaurants-in-2025\/embed\/#?secret=jjFG9xC08c\" title=\"\u201cThe best things we ate at Southern California restaurants in 2025\u201d \u2014 Orange County Register\" width=\"500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The best things we ate at Southern California restaurants in 2024<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"nwDtMnyD6B\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"282\" loading=\"lazy\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" scrolling=\"no\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/2024\/12\/31\/the-best-things-we-ate-at-southern-california-restaurants-in-2024\/embed\/#?secret=nwDtMnyD6B\" title=\"\u201cThe best things we ate at Southern California restaurants in 2024\u201d \u2014 Orange County Register\" width=\"500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are our favorite meals from May throughout Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11453,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-based-on-facts-either-observed-and-verified-directly-by-the-reporter-or-reported-and-verified-from-knowledgeable-sources","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
