Newport Beach, CA Caliente Southwest Grille

Going to Southern Cal this Summer? Going to take the kids to the beach? Going to sample some sunshine, maybe an Angels or Dodgers game? Disneyland? Knottsberry Farm? Whatever the case if you are in OC, and close to the Huntington Beach area, friends of mine did props Caliente Southwest Grille for family eats.

Brother Dave from California stops by Caliente when he takes his kids to the beach, "They have a good breakfast the kids love." What does Brother Dave order for his family when he gets to Caliente? "I order some pancakes, French toast, and order a couple of breakfast burritos and we share it. The Chorizo and egg burrito is good, and drink some coffee, it's a nice place. Then we hit the freeway and head to the beach, it's easy to get to, just take the 55 South and hang a left on 17th street you'll see the sign."  (271 E. 17th Street, Costa Mesa, CA 92627)

Okay so Dave gave me the scoops if I'm ever back in the OC area, it's going to be some time before I get there, plane tickets aren't cheap, and my Dodgers suck, so Cali is out of the question for some time. Though the last trip down there we did have a good time. I dig Southern Cal, lots of fun and good food, well, I'll have to check this place out and see for myself.
