Sharon --
Glad you liked it -- I used to work in HB and live in CM, about a stone's
throw from the Taco Mesa. There is a good take out Thai place pretty much
right next door that you might also want to consider.

A few weeks ago someone recommended Taco Mesa in Costa Mesa, CA. I am
not a big fan of the taco- burrito style of Mexican food, but I kept the
place in mind since it is close to where I live. Well, we tried it this
weekend for lunch and were very pleased. The restaurant itself is an old
Taco Bell building but updated with paint and a display of fresh citrus
fruits-very casual. The food was particularly noteworthy for its
freshness, and the flavors were great. I liked the condiment bar that
had various sauces, escabeche veggies, wedges of lemon and lime, chopped
cilantro and several other items. None of the restaurant' s sauces were
particularly hot (although fine by me), but other hotter sauces were
available in bottles. Well worth a stop. We plan to try it again for
dinner as the soups and other dishes sound really good. Thanks to
whoever made this suggestion!
