Great place to get some quality Mexican food. My wife and I went there last night and were thoroughly impressed. I had the Burrito Estilo Edurado along with a Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse Dunkel, the burrito was delicious with hints of smokiness and served with a fresh cut of avocado on top and guacamole on the side. My wife had the Chicken Tacos Dorados along with a raspberry margarita, the tacos were topped with a creamy queso fresco and a cut of avocado. The wait staff was terrific, our waiter came by and asked about our drinks and told me a little about the Hefe-Weisse I was drinking, explaining that is was a German beer and I mentioned I was impressed by the darker then usual color and lack of bitterness.
We had a great experience and will definitely be going here again for dinner.

Out of all the places to eat at the Block that I’ve tried this is my favorite to go to. The food is above average and they have a nice selection of their own brewed beer. I enjoyed a Hefewiezen the last time we were there. We just went there a couple weeks ago after catching a movie. I ordered the Ruben, which was really good, although I think it was served dry, which was different, but still delicious, along with the sandwich were sweet potato fries which are always a great change of pace compared to the regular variety. My wife and mother in law ordered the fish and chips which weren’t quite as good as the ones up in Morro Bay but were pretty close.
The service has been good every time we have gone. They always make sure we are taken care of and that our drinks aren’t running low.

I will preface this review with this.
*MY WIFE HATES DOUGHY PIZZA!*
With that said she loves BJ’s Chicago style pizza. It’s our favorite pizza to eat and the price is right. We can get a small pizza, caesar salad, a beer, and another drink for under $25. And when we leave we are fully satisfied with the size of our meal. We usually order the veggie combination with extra sauce and it always comes out great. I’ve tried most of their beers and my favorite is the Hefewiezen, but I’m a big fan of Hefe’s. Also one of my wife’s favorite things to get there is the Framboise that they have, it’s a delicious Belgium beer that has berry added to it after the brewing process.
The atmosphere is that of a sports bar if you are sitting in the main area next to the bar, they have a large screen that shows 4 sports channels at the same time. Appetizers are great, with my favorite being the avocado eggrolls and the spinach with artichoke dip.
We have never had any issues with the wait staff and they have always been able to handle any special requests we make in the years we have gone here.

PCH by far makes the most delicious chili dogs in the world. I never had a chili dog with mustard till I went to PCH, but now I can’t think of another way to do it. Other dogs are pretty good, but I’d rather get a chili dog with cheese!

Hollingshead is a great family owned place that is completely out of the ordinary compared to the rest of Orange County. The place the filled to the rafters with beer from all over the world. They make killed sandwiches that you can enjoy there while you drink your beer choice.
There isn’t much more to say after reading the other reviews. This is a true gem in Southern California.

My fiancee and I went here last night after checking the menu out a couple weeks ago. We always have to be cautious at new places because she’s a vegetarian so we always make sure there is something for her. She got the grilled cheese and really liked it. It had a mixture of cheeses including gouda I had a taste and it was great. I had the Warmed Chicken Focaccia sandwich and it was savory. It was a very basic sandwich but was perfect for my mood. Along with that we also got a side caesar which had a slightly sweet taste to it that really impressed me. My only regret was getting the chili cheese on the french fries. The chili was good, but it was too hearty and tomato-y to be used on fries.
I ordered one of their Lazy Dog Hefes and it was good. It had a slightly darker / orange color then what I’m used to, but was good none the same.
We really enjoyed the decor and ambiance with the pictures of dogs.
Service was great, our waiter did a very good job making sure were were taken care of.

The family that runs this place is very nice. Their food is excellent. I usually order the carne asada tacos. I’m not sure what else really to say but it’s worth going to because the food is that good. It’s a small place so if you are going during prime lunch hours you might have to get it to go.
