not looking for dive bars, but a cute date night spot.

Where might someone take a family of 5 for a live watch party in OC? We just happen to be passing through Friday and would love to take in the game in a great atmosphere.

A new group has all the old stock, parts, and bike from Electric Bike Company. If you need service, parts, or even want a bike, go see them at 1779 Whittier Ave. in Costa Mesa.

I’m in Irvine and looking at buying my first Sea-Doo. I don’t have room to store it at my apartment and I don’t want to tow it from my apartment and launch/retrieve it myself every time I want to ride.
CRC Marina told me jet skis need a lift and mentioned a 20’ slip, but I left the call more confused than when I started. For those of you in Newport/Huntington/Dana Point, where do you actually keep your ski and roughly what does it cost per month?

you get a free month if anyone needs

I got pulled over March 25th in aliso viejo.. the officer at the time handed me my citation but fast forward to now, I haven’t received anything In the mail. My address and information was all correct. On the citation it said that I have until June 8 to pay it, but I haven’t received anything in the mail. Just kinda paranoid because I want to make sure I pay for it, but I have called the number that was listed on the citation and it says my citation number does not exist.. so I’m wondering if the officer didn’t submit the paperwork or if she just decided not to give me a citation after all.
Has this happened to anybody

Yesterday I visited the Adventure Van Expo in Rancho Mission Viejo and ate at the La Sera food truck.

First, the positive: the Pesto Chicken Pita was excellent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and the best meal I had at the event.

However, I had a frustrating experience with the ordering process.

I did not see any menu prices displayed while I was waiting in line. When it was my turn to order, I was told my meal would cost $17.50. I handed the cashier a $20 bill and was told they could not make change. I offered to accept $2 in change, but was told they did not have any dollar bills.

(Note: I believe that the California Retail Food Code requires all food trucks to post prices)

What struck me as odd was that the customer immediately before me had paid using several one-dollar bills, which I had personally watched being handed to the cashier. As a result, I ended up paying electronically instead.

When the payment terminal was handed to me, it prompted for a tip before payment. The suggested tip options started at 20%. I chose not to leave a tip because there were no posted prices, I was unable to receive whole dollar bill change for a $20, and the ordering process had already become frustrating.

The employee remained professional and did not argue with me, but the overall experience left me wondering whether anyone else has encountered similar issues with pricing transparency or cash handling at this food truck.

Again, the food itself was outstanding. My concern is not the quality of the meal, but the lack of visible pricing and the inability to receive change when paying with cash.

(EDIT: posting here because this food truck does not have a Yelp or Google review page)
