We were scoping out OB for a good brunch spot, and it's strange to think that such a laid-back place has such slim pickin's for brunch. Maybe we were in the wrong area, but there wasn't a lot of emphasis on the majestic meal. We wound up at El Rodeo taco shop on Newport Ave. underneath a tattoo parlor almost on the sand. As you can see, OB is all prepped for the holidays...
Ashton and I both got the "giant" fish burrito, which lived up to the name. Cabbage, salsa fresca, guacamole, fish, and white sauce all wrapped up in a perfectly formed tortilla, with no breakage or spillage. Wonderfully crunchy white fish with excellent salsa on the side (could have been spicier, but the flavor was first rate), and the salsa fresca and cabbage added just the right amount of crunch in the soft tortilla. An excellent spot for an excellent meal, offering only outside seating and great people-watching opportunities. This spot is definitely recommended.
To round out the meal, we stopped at Pirate's Cove "coffee ship", a large coffee hut in the parking lot of a grocery store but it's shaped like a giant ship! They had a a VERY reasonable selection of coffee for a parking lot java hut, and even offered smoothies and blended coffee! I got the Chai Freeze, which was basically magic in my mouth. Ashton just got a regular coffee, but it came with a chocolate covered espresso bean on top! The cashier was a wonderfully pleasant girl who obviously has a wonderful life. This place is also highly recommended for its EXCELLENT cup o' joe and EXTREMELY reasonable prices.
All in all, a good Sunday!!! Coming soon, our 99 Ranch Market experience, sushi rolling, and Vo's Cafe of North Park!!!
