Overall:
  • Wahoo's is a restaurant staple in my life. Where ever I live a Wahoo's is either already there or is built shortly after. I was so excited when they finally came out to the IE (after being an OC establishment for decades). The food at Wahoo's is as fun as the decor, there are stickers people plaster all over the walls promoting bands, clothing companies, and anything else you can put on sticky paper. You order your food at the counter, pick a seat, and a friendly staff member brings it out to you. Although they are famous for their fish tacos (which are forktastic!), I decided to go with the Baja Rolls and Shrimp Tacos on this occasion. Baja Rolls (one of my favorites) are chicken, cream cheese, spinach and salsa wrapped in a soft flour tortilla and served cold with dipping sauce. The shrimp tacos are grilled shrimp with cabbage and cheese on corn tortillas. I got the combo with black beans and white rice, both excellently seasoned with herbs and spices. There's something to be said about perfectly grilled shrimp from a moderately fast food place, FORK YEAH!

  • When I first got word of this event, I was like a kid days before Christmas - Dancin' around like I gotta Pee! Then, reality hit and I was remembering past tales of what we used to call "Roach Coaches" - pleasantly this was not the result!!! I arrived a bit late so I had to park about 200 yards away from the Speedzone... my nose could smell the aroma of different flavours as if it was right in front of my gulliver. There were 3 Rig'aurants on my list to hit - "Grill Em All", "Tapa Boy", and the "Lobsta Truck". The lines were insane so I went for the less of 3 leg crampers. Tapa Boy (Filipino Food) it was. By the time I reached the Rapunzel Window, 4 ot of 5 Bowls were 86'd. The Crispy Adobo Bowl won by way of elimination - Chicken Adobo done New School, garlic fried rice, a fried egg, with a side of papaya relish and tomato/cucumber slices. I also ordered a 3 pc Turon "Old School" - Bananna Egg Rolls (rolled in brown sugar w/ a sliver of jackfruit). All were amazing and worth the wait.
  • Next my sweet tooth was kickin' like a newly blessed root canal - sumthin' evil!!! "Longboards Ice Cream" or "Tropical Shave Ice"??? This time I opted for the leg cramper and hit the mile long line @ "Tropical Shave Ice". All I have to say is "Da Kine" - Heavenly!!!
  • So if your first friday is open on your calendar... I highly recommend The Speed Zone Gourmet Food Truck Event. May I add, use this experience to try food you would not venture otherwise. With so much to do and so much to eat this event is great for groups and families. Lace up your Lead Foot and FORKthis Event. Sashimi P.

  • Inari Sushi 2 FORKS (wasn't digging the sesame seeds)
Customer Service: 3 FORKS

Overall:
  • Fresh, excellent portions for sharing, and great customer service. What more could you ask for? Well, I guess I ask a lot out of my sushi spots. This one really has the goods: Tuna that melts in your mouth, a mound of crab on your salad and the hybrid heavenly burrito that really lives up to it's name. Salmon, tuna, crab,and avocado... Pure heaven wrapped in soy paper!The Hawaiian Roll is a california roll topped with tuna and avocado. Yummo! The service was outstanding, the waitress checked up on us frequently to make sure we were content. Sometimes my dining partner and myself were too busy stuffing our faces with amazing sushi to notice her continually clearing the table and refilling our drinks. Great service, great food, great times. Even though you don't use forks here (but of course they're available) this place gets 3!

  • Slippin' into this joint always gives me nostalgitis, the fotos and decor remind me of the first time I opened up my pops steamer chest... without the smell of moth balls. What I do smell, is the savory aroma of peanuts and beer. This place has been known for it's "H & L's Chili Nachos"... but I opted for one of their Heroes Burgers instead ~ the Black & Blue Burger (always medium). It's a blackened patty of beef topped with crumbled Blue Cheese, Jalapeno Mayo, and all the fixin's. Hells Bells Ass Tasty!!! So if you just pulled a 9 hour shift and your near the Claremont area go pull yourself a pint and FORK yourself a H & L Burger. With so much to do in the village your gonna need one of H & L Burgers to get you through the day. Raise your glass and FORKthis Joint. Sashimi P.
