My favorite is the "hot" breakfast burrito from Nick's Deli in Seal Beach.
223 Main St, Seal Beach, CA 90740 +1 562-598-5072
I call when I'm on my way so it is waiting for me when I arrive. They take cash only and they cost around $7.
Well worth the drive down PCH from HB to SB in my opinion.

Surprisingly good selection of craft beers in Disney California Adventure. The teams take a lot of pride in their partnerships with local breweries!
There’s also this little local gem…in a somewhat sketchy looking stretch called Tony’s Original Deli and Bottle Shop. Since you’ll be there on a Friday…they’ll have their Prime Rib Sandwich special and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.

Paradise deli and doughnuts. On La Paz Rd, just off of the 5 freeway. Great deli sandwiches and doughnuts. Family owned and good people.

I second the other comments about everyday eatery. It’s great and tastes clean. Aloha stacks is also another solid option albeit slightly more unhealthy. Nearby in Santa Ana is Nate’s if you’re looking to indulge in something heavier

For a chill vibe, you’re gonna want to avoid Heroes in the evenings, especially Thursday thru Sunday. It’s a meat market.
Absolutely avoid Chako Social. The place has changed hands multiple times, to avoid criminal liability after over serving, lax security and a number of sexual assaults, and…

Stoner fries from Lupe's, Indian style pizza and wings from Curry Pizza House (next to Lupe's), corned beef and pastrami sandwich from Benjie's NY Deli (Tustin).
If you're looking for something lighter, Maji Curry or Siam Station.

Tacos El Gringo - Food truck that sets up in DTSA across the street from Hopper and Burr usually. Great flavors and the meat is cooked so well
Lunch Bang - Got a little exposure recently through social media. Mom & pop place that does smash burgers (like Oklahoma onion burger style) along with…

• Taco Yaqui has some great Ensenada style fried fish and shrimp tacos.
• Benjies NY Deli. Not quite as good as anything on the east coast but I enjoy the pastrami there.
• Hammer Burger. Just a good damn smash burger
• Kagura. Best katsu I’ve had outside of Tokyo
• Pelicana. Not exactly a low…
