One of the Chronicle’s listed bargain bites, I had to go check this out for myself, since not all of those items on the list are cheap enough for my tastes. Conclusion? Very darn good. Four people, 5-6 dishes, $10 each.
We ordered their signature steamed dumplings, some special potsticker-shaped dumpling in hot oil, a lion’s head meatball soup, some fried sweet bread with evaporated milk dip, a fried rice cake dish, and then another type of ball (looked like cooked mochi) in spicy oil.

Grubgirl hasn’t actually tried out the recipes from Recession Recipes, but they are funny to read. Ahhh, I remember the days of hotdog fried rice, and Top Ramen egg drop soup!

Taco Mesa
Many locations in the OC.
647 W. 19th St.
Costa Mesa, CA 92627
(949) 642-0629
Where or where is the equivalent of this in San Francisco? I’ve heard rumors that certain taco trucks provide such delicious fare but none of my friends dare venture with me…and we all know it’s more fun to eat with friends.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know about Taco Mesa - so you don’t have to drive all the way down to Tijuana to get legit tacos. Instead, you just have to go to Orange County.
