I've never heard of Oggi's but I have a friend who lives down in San Diego who will probably know so I will ask her which she prefers. The chili fries from the hat are just delicious my favorite part is they are thick cut fries and the chili is really chunky and the cheese is put on cold but because the chili is soooo temp hot it melts before your eyes and so you have to be patient to get to eat it so while they taste great I think the anticipation of waiting to get to eat them is the best part haha! Oh and I'm in southern OC so I'm only like 40 minutes from you two BFFs!
HEY BIKINI! We go to the OGGI'S in Vista, near our home or Encinitas...they have several down here...but up your way (I googled it) they have one in Orange, Mission Viejo and Huntington Beach. Are you near San Clemente? I lived there from 4th grade thru 6th grade...WAY! before you were born '64-'66! Have fun bowling
I live in Rancho Santa Margarita which is right next to Mission Viejo so I'll have to look into OGGI'S... Ya I'm also close to San Clemente, I have a few friends who live out there it's like 15 minutes away. I went to the beach down there at T Street all the time when I was little, now I tend to go to Laguna more often. Oh and bowling is quite fun, that was in Vegas!

Hey BIKINI ~ I know Rancho Santa Margarita...have done a few jobs there...I lived on a street called Pelayo when I was in San Clemente...street went right down to the beach if I remember right...long time ago...Angie and I go to Laguna every couple of years to check out Wyland and Kinkade gallerys and the SAWDUST FESTIVAL booths! Love Vegas too! Enjoy your YOUTH!!
I so miss living in CA...especially El Pollo Loco and pastrami! You cannot get pastrami anywhere like they fix it there. One day I will go back just to eat the foods I miss, lol!
El Pollo Loco is pretty good, where else can you go get ready made chicken like KFC that isn't fried?! There are rotisserie chickens but those just aren't the same as grilled pieces of chicken, marinated in citrus.
Hey Gary, speaking of mexican food, have you every been to the place on the corner of san marcos blvd and rancho santa fe? I can't remember what it's called but it looks like a train. It's in with Shell, Blockbuster, I think Albertson's. Best...shredded beef...ever. You have to try it sometime.
And yes I must admit Red Robin is very good. I usually get the crispy chicken burger there though.
I think I've been to that mexican place! I can't remember though. Colima's, right off of Emerald Drive in Vista or Downtown Oceanside are really one of my favorites. I also love the Albertos that is on hill street (ok its not called hill street anymore, PCH?) that is near the corner of vista way.
Anitas is pretty decent for a sit down place and there is a half decent place in San Marcos, near restaurant row but I can't remember the name. Also, there is a place in Encinitas called La especial norte. I highly highly recommend it.
I also can't believe I forgot to mention Wahoos!! Fish tacos! The original one, I think, is in Lake Forest (?) but they have them everywhere. They have a few in Colorado which I miss so much
For grease though, did no one mention Angelo's?! I used to love Angelo's in high school. Fried Zucchini.... gyros.... mmmmm
They are evil, aren't they? And of course, on the occasion that I do gorge and get some...I end up eating all the little crumbs that fell off the donuts.
EVIL, EVIL, EVIL. Oh yeah, the crumbs are the best part, that fall off to the sides of the box. Yumm me. I haven't bought them in a long time and I don't plan to anytime soon. Something I need to stay far away from.

I have never eaten at Colima's Nelie, I'll have to try it. I love any of the Albertos though! Coast Hwy.

You might be thinking of ACAPULCO.
Angie and I ate at Anitas less than a month ago, we were at Target shopping. We used to go there often, but have found better places for us. My all time favorite is Don ernestos in San Marcos, but we also go to Nuevo Vallerta, El Ranchero and Village Cafe in Vista. El Bronco near me on College and O'side Blvd is great take-out also!

We have a RUBIOS down on the corner that meets our fish taco fast food needs. Islands has decent fish tacos too...and I swear the Del Taco here has awesome fish and shrimp tacos!! Angie won't try them..she hates Del Taco
For grease though, did no one mention Angelo's?! I used to love Angelo's in high school. Fried Zucchini.... gyros.... mmmmm
LOVE ANGELOS! for all kinds of "crappy" food...for you anyway I had a job on the beach a few months back...ate there everyday for a week! Had my fix!!
Pad Thai is soooo yummy! I prefer shrimp though...
EZ~ I LOVE the sawdust festival! I buy the season pass cause it's like $10 and one visit is $7 and I'll go like 3 times a week all summer! All the art galleries are great, my mom loves Kinkade but I like Wyland more.
