Restaraunts

One of the best-known Mexican restaurants is Javier’s in Irvine Spectrum. For drinks, I recommend the fresh Pineapple Margarita, made with top-shelf tequila. For dinner, I love sharing the La Tablita, a platter with beans, corn, guacamole, salsa, and your choice of skirt steak or grilled chicken, served with tortillas for tacos. For dessert, the Pastel Tres Leches is my absolute favorite—almonds and caramel sauce on top make it unforgettable.
For Taco Tuesday, I love going to Cha Cha’s Latin Kitchen with friends. Their Restaurant Week menu was amazing, featuring a crunchy Caesar salad with cilantro dressing, crab and shrimp enchiladas, and glazed salmon with honey chipotle glaze. The food is delicious and perfectly prepared.
I visit North Italia often for their fresh in-house pasta. Favorites include the Prosciutto Bruschetta with grilled asparagus and the Roasted Mushroom Tortellini. It’s a great family-friendly spot — my kids love the spaghetti and especially the sugared donuts dipped in thick chocolate sauce!
Houston’s impresses me every time with impeccable service. The grilled artichokes, grown in Castroville, CA, are a unique summer appetizer. My favorite entrée is the pan-seared Salmon with broccoli, mashed potatoes, and lentil vinaigrette — perfect for lunch or dinner.
A client recently introduced me to Fukada at Irvine Spectrum. My family and I love their menu variety. The Salmon Belly and Shrimp Tempura are favorites for my sons. I also love their Udon noodles — so good that I often take leftovers home!
Are you thinking of moving to Irvine? I’d love to take you to one of my favorite restaurants to talk about how I can help you!
