My daughter is a finnicky eater and won't eat anything she considers unhealthful, so she vetoes places like McDonalds, but is ok with certain fast foods like SubWay.

I highly recommend this place to anyone and it's only about a 5 minute drive from Disneyland. If coming from Disneyland, go up Harbor to Ball and turn left, make another left on St. College and Luigis is up on the left side just a little bit down the road.

You order food at the counter and bring it to your table, so you save $$$$ on tipping. The only problem I ever had there was with parking, but thankfully, they bought a lot next door and added parking, so now it's perfect! <a href="http://www.lossanchez.com/" target="_blank">http://www.lossanchez.com/</a> Their website has their exact address. DH loves it so much, we actually ate there FOUR TIMES on our last visit!

Originally Posted By Pollyana I know you don't really mean that crock. We all know that Captain Kidds is a place to stay away from, unless you like getting sick and throwing up instead of going to Disneyland. Mimi's is a great restaurant with reasonable prices..Every time I go to Disneyland, I must stop in at Mimi's and get the corn chowder. It is GREAT!
Originally Posted By LuLu DD and I are huge "Souplantation" fans. This is called "Sweet Tomatoes" in some areas. There's a Souplantation in Fullerton, probably a bit too far to drive from DLR but we've visited it on the way there or back. Same with In-n-Out. I REALLY have to try that Mexican place - have been hearing about it for years! We like Mimi's, and it's so convenient to HoJos! We also find the Garden Walk walkable from HoJos and DLR. We enjoyed Joe's Crab Shack when we were staying at Embassy Suites. It's south on Harbor.
Originally Posted By LuLu Oh, I also wanted to mention, Buca di Beppo is great fun with a group! Also south on Harbor.
Originally Posted By quincytoo We love the Mex place and used to go to it at it's old location, the new one is a lot nicer and the food is amazing Buca di Beppo and Mimi's both get top marks in our books. YUM and sooooo cheap Also we have to go to In N Out at least twice while we are there. We hardly ever eat supper in the resort, just too many better options outside that are so much cheaper and tastier
Originally Posted By MerryMouseWife We really like Mimi's.

In Huntington Beach, off the main drag from the beach is Wahoo's Fish Tacos. We usually go there on the day we drive over to visit the ocean and say hi, then we go up the street to Wahoo's and get fish tacos. For those who would wrinkle their nose at the thought of fish tacos, let me tell you these are delish. Fresh dorado from the Sea of Cortez, light, white, fresh tasting, on white corn tortillas, not fried but grilled fish, cabbage and lime. drooolllliiinnnnggg here. Unfortunately, it is not too close, but is accessable from Harbor, but I could not tell you how to get there. I just know from many trips, I just don't know the street names. About 30 mins away.
