The two "go-to" mex restaurants in the area, in our opinion, are Ricardo's across from Big Lots and El Maguey. Depending on what we are in the mood
for, we decide before going.
Maguey rules for almost anything but the caldos at Ricardos are extremely good. He has one he calls Caldo Talpa that has a couple kinds of squash,
carrots, and other veggies in a chunky chicken soup. They put a layer of cheddar and jack cheese over it and it's served with a side of rice,
cilantro, white onions, those dried red peppers and some oregano. Also tortillas. All for 7.99........really more than one can eat. It's the best
soup I've ever had at a mexican restaurant.
The carnitas really rocks at Maguey. So do all the specialty items on the front of the menu. Especially like the pollo ranchero and the vegetable
ranchero. However, the chile verde has tended to be fatty here.

Decore at Ostionera
I went for lunch there yesterday and brought my camera this time. I really like the look and feel of that restaurant. It has a feel of authenticity
about it. There are lots of bright colors and handcrafted artifacts. Waitresses wear brightly colored native dresses. And the clientele is primarily
Mexican. I felt a little weird taking pictures but here's one to give you the feel of the place.

That place is colorful, if anything......
colorful decor, colorful waitress outfits, people of color as clients.
And the colorful sweet snack area at the cash register. Did you get a pic of that, Joe?

I don't know where the snack area is located. Here's another picture of the place.
I'll be going there today at 1PM. Wanna join me?
This is my day for purchasing a Torium 20 at the Longfin in preparation for the upcoming baja trip. It was either a Torium or a Newel and I'm going
with Shimano.

Hey Skipjack:
From what angle is that shot taken? I don't recognize the view.

That's probably because you and I eat at different Ostioneras. This one is on Chapman and Hewes. It doesn't look like much on the outside but the menu
is filled with goodies (about 8 pages).
The picture of the waitress is taken near the entrance looking towards the dining area and further back is the kitchen.

Are they related? I eat at the Ostionera on Chapman and Tustin across from Selman Chevrolet (West side).
