Orange County Pizza at the end of Santa Margarita Parkway. My favorite there is the OC House Pizza, it comes with extra cheese.

Hacienda La Joya in MV right by Jeronimo & Los Alisos. Legit family run business. My favorite chilaquiles verde that I’ve found in South OC. Freshly made food to order and great service. I eat there 3 times a month.

We like Corky’s in Ladera Ranch. It’s a good family restaurant and the service is always great.

This is going to sound a bit odd, but King's Donuts in MV for pupusas and plátanos fritos con crema y frijoles. Their donuts are v good also, but I alllllways go for the pupusas.
Nice Burger MV is also pretty good vegan, as well as Mitasie (LF is the one I go to.)

Shin sushi in mission viejo. By far the best sushi in south OC that I’ve gotten, and I’ve been to many expensive/popular places. Everyone who goes is a regular and if they’re not already then they are after eating there. The restaurant is only 4 tables and bar seating, it’s intimate and welcoming. Quality unmatched

I’ve always liked Taco Mesa off Los Alisos/Trabuco if you’re looking for a more casual Mexican meal.
