    Lemon pepper bagel. Too delicious not to bite into right away.
    Jamie D.

    Friendly staff. Lots of options on the menu including Starbucks drinks. Cute little cafe in the entrance courtyard of UCI Health Los Alamitos.

    MUST TRY THEIR GYRO! I love gyro's & their gyro was so yummy & really hit the spot. Their tzatziki sauce is none like any other I've tried & it was amazing! It was creamy, tangy, & tastes so fresh with high quality ingredients. Trust me, you can tell the difference compared to other places I've tried. My mouth is watering just thinking about it now. This place is a hidden gem. The ambiance was very relaxing & I cannot explain it, but any stress I had just melted away when I was there. The service was fast & everyone there was super friendly.

    Breakfast burrito with egg, avocado and hash brown. They were very stingy with the hash brown and added an extra ingredient from the avocado :/

    Lemon pepper bagel!

    This place is part of the Los Alamitos Medical Center, it's in the back corner so when you arrive, pull into the street next to the center and park. Quiet, very clean little place. I'm looking at the bagels and I see, lemon pepper. I'm like, what the heck is a lemon pepper bagel? So I order it and you can see from my pic what it is. It was super tasty that morning. I was really hungry that morning too but I brought it back to work with me and ate at my leisure and the entire time, I'm thinking, this bagel's really good!

    Gyro wrap with pasta salad...both were excellent!

    I love Café Niko! They have a wide variety of healthy offerings from sandwiches to Starbucks drinks. Food is always good and made fresh daily; their gyro wrap is a customer favorite! The café itself is very cleaned and the owner is just the best. She welcomes customers with warmth and such joyful countenance! I cannot recommend this place enough.

I've had the pastrami, French dip, and meatball, all of which were great. The French rolls they use are high quality, same with the meat, and they don't skimp on portions. After tax, they come out to $17-18 if I'm not mistaken, and given the price of the chain sandwich places and the quality of ingredients they offer, I think it's great value. Staff is also very welcoming and easy to deal with. Definitely worth a try!

They have high-quality cuts of meats and a small, but nicely curated shop with delicious snacks and pantry staples. I like to come here for their picanha, priced at $19.99 a lb. Usually $20 allows me to walk out the door with two modestly sized steaks that become spectacular when they're finished on my stainless-steel pan at home. I also like their frozen meatballs in their freezer, which adds some really nice savory flavors to my spaghetti and meatballs. They have really high end cuts of meat like wagyu and Japanese A5 meats here; however, that's not really what I come looking for. Their pantry is nicely stocked with quality ingredients. It's hard to not pass up their delicious pork rinds (from 4505 or Southern Recipe) or Mutti marinaras. And if I don't feel like cooking, I can come for lunch in order to walk away with a sandwich that they can make for me. Overall, this is a small shop, that's thoughtfully stocked with some really high-quality ingredients for me to make a nice dinner at home!

    Mustard's Chicago Style Eatery Review…read more Finally tried Mustard's Chicago Style Eatery and it definitely hit the spot. I went with the Chicago dog and the classic Italian beef, and both were really solid. The Chicago dog had that classic combination of toppings and flavors you'd expect, with a good snap to the dog and plenty of flavor. The Italian beef was the standout for me--tender, flavorful, and packed with that savory beefy goodness. Both portions were satisfying, and you can tell they're going for an authentic Chicago-style experience rather than just putting Chicago-style names on the menu. Overall, a great spot if you're craving a Chicago dog or Italian beef. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Now mind you that's over the Brazilian Steak House and Wood Ranch I had offered. We hadn't been to Mustards in (shut) 15 years? I was worried the quality was still there. I was! And boy did they grow up. They've blown out the menu the inclusion plethora of item other than hot dogs! The BBQ ribs I had were more than acceptable. Not Wood Ranch or Sweet Lou's but enjoyable! My son said his Chicago Dogs were still second to none and my wife got a hamburger that she claims was 'OK', and my daughter in law got a chicken sandwich she really liked. So overall it was a success. You can't rate the service because there is none. You order at a window, pick it up when ready from said window, and clean up after yourself ... unless you're a jerk. I do recommend them still. New owners clearly (apparently Asian) but the were very sweet and friendly. Lots of smiles.

Here, the combination sandwich is like a baby Italian. And even though I was initially skeptical about the onions, tomato, and lettuce - the additional veggies help cut the saltiness. The most perfect baby Italian. Santa Fe Importers is the perfect pit stop if you're running errands in this area.

It's my absolute favorite breakfast burrito in the area. I get it with eggs over medium- comes with chorizo, potatoes, cheese and bacon. Great portion, amazing texture and the flavor is on point from start to finish. You can actually taste each component instead of everything turning into one salty breakfast blob. Every bite has something going on in the best way. Seasoned perfectly. Chef's kiss. The homemade salsa is fire too. Spicy, flavorful and exactly what the burrito needs. It cuts through the richness, wakes everything up and makes the whole thing even better. Dangerous stuff honestly, because now the burrito feels incomplete without it. I believe they got a mild and hot. Fries were bomb too. I ask for extra seasoning and they come through. The ketchup was also weirdly good, chilled and delicious. Could be Heinz, could be homemade, could be magic. Either way, I want more of it. The vibe's chill and down to earth. The people here are genuinely great imo. Friendly, easygoing and consistent every time I've stopped by. You place your order, they give you a ticket and you pay when it's ready. They also have a fun drink selection, including Calypso drinks and Stewart's root beer in cans and glass bottles. I respect a deli that gives the drink fridge some effort. There's seating when you walk in and more seating in the back area of the deli. Parking can be hit or miss and the spot is easy to pass by, but that breakfast burrito is worth circling the plaza for. I've done it. I'll do it again. Easy recommendation, the consistency of their food and service is on another level. I'm excited for my next haircut.

Ended up finishing the whole thing because it was that good. Service was friendly, food came out quick, and the whole spot had a really chill local vibe. Definitely a hidden gem if you're in the area. Highly recommend this place and I'll for sure be back to try more off the menu.
