I don't think it's a hidden spot, but it is definitely a gem. Tacos Madre on Harbor Blvd. is so fresh and tasty. They just opened a second location too. Teri Sushi for Japanese bentos/dinners that remind me of local spots in Japan. When they first opened, their kid was always in the back of the kitchen doing his homework. Now he's probably off to college.

2 Costa mesa suggestions, ensenada style. Hole Mole on Tuesdays. Tacos Madres (cheaper on Tuesdays but not cheap) Tacos Madres is the better of the two.

I second Tacos Madre. I just moved a block away and had the best shrimp taco and fish taco I've ever had in my life. Now I'm craving it for dinner.
