Refreshing Mint Juleps at Disneyland

This past week I had the opportunity to try the Mint Julep drink at Disneyland. The drink is traditional made with bourbon, but due to Disneyland not selling alcohol, it does not have alcohol. It’s made with mint and it is very refreshing. Disney added a new flavor made with watermelon. They add a slice of watermelon to the drink. It has a great flavor, it’s very refreshing. You can find them…

Disney's Wine Country Trattoria

Disney’s Wine Country Trattoria

The Wine Country Trattoria was a great place to grab dinner at California Adventure. It’s italian cuisine, they have an amazing seating area out in the open. You’re surrounded by an atmosphere that makes you feel you’ve left the park and are in wine country. The salmon was great, the lasagna was great and the dessert was very good. It’s a 2 dollar sign restaurant. Definitely check it out if…

Tempo Cantina: Modern Mexican

They are a chain, with locations in OC. We walked in and were greeted by a friendly staff. The place was packed with people. They have drinks with a twist like tamarind margaritas, mango with habanero martinis and sangria…

Nitrogen Ice Cream

The Californian Duo had a craving for some dessert. We tried out a place named Creamistry. They are a chain in California. They make their ice cream with liquid nitrogen. They have a long list of toppings from cereals, syrups, fruit and candy to put on your ice cream. You can either have them mixed into the ice cream or they can sit on top of the ice cream. The only downside of this place is…

Taco chain in Los Angeles

Ok, so let me begin by saying that authentic Mexican taco chains aren’t really a thing. You have your street corner tacos, your mom and pop shops but that’s pretty much it. Out of nowhere a taco chain has been popping around Los Angeles name Tacos El Gavilan. They serve your authentic soft tortilla tacos. They have your al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, etc. They have a great lay out with serve…

I got the fairfax sandwich which comes with soft scrambled egg with chives, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and sriracha mayo on a warm brioche bun.

I love Titos Tacos! You’ll love Titos too.

Los Angeles has some pretty amazing places to dine at. Whether it be a chain restaurant or a mom and pop shop. One of my favorite places to eat at is Titos Tacos in Culver City. I ate at this place as a child and continue to go here as an adult. It’s definitely a popular place, with lines out the door. They’ve been in business since 1959.

One of their signature items is a burrito with meat,…

Downtown L.A Ice Cream

This week I had no choice but to satisfy my sweet tooth. I have been passing by McConnel’s ice cream for the past days and finally gave in. When I stopped at the little ice cream shop I found ice cream flavors like dutch chocolate, banana salted caramel and peppermint stick. It’s definitely a treat being that you wont find regular flavors like chocolate and plain ol vanilla. Being the holidays I…

Vegan Ramen in L.A.

Los Angeles is a health conscious kind of town. We love drinking our kombucha and eating our salads when we can. But we can’t have salads all the time, sometimes we need to change it up a bit. When I visited the Grand Central Market I was really craving ramen. It was a chilly afternoon in Los Angeles and a nice broth with noodles sounded amazing for lunch. Yes, believe it or not the weather isnt…

In the 1960s a husband and wife team immigrated from Cuba to the state of California. The only items they brought with them was the clothes on their backs. They left everything they had behind. In California they began a new life and after working hard they opened a bakery. Their names were Rosa Porto and Raul Porto, the Porto’s opened their first bakery in 1976 on Sunset Blvd in Echo Park,…
