There's no better way to start off my day than with a good meal even if it's not breakfast-type foods. This past week, Tasha and I had brunch (brunch for us, but we ordered off of the lunch menu) consisting of tacos and a pizza from
Avanti Natural Cafe in Costa Mesa.We arrived at the restaurant right around opening so as we were perusing the menu, the staff was hastily settin' up shop, but that did not take away from our dining experience. Since both Tasha and I had never eaten there before, and Avanti being a vegetarian restaurant (and we both are not vegetarians), we asked the waiter for suggestions. We took his suggestion of both the Avanti Hot Tacos (with the hot sauce on the side) and the Arugula & Spinach Pesto Pizza. I also had a nice and refreshing verbena lemonade (so FRESH, tasted like the lemons were picked right from a tree growing in the kitchen, sliced, squeezed, and juice chilled)! Both the tacos and pizza were flavorful and not at all lacking in substance for being vegetarian dishes. I'm a sucker for sauces and liked that the hot sauces complemented the tacos well, ranging from mild to very spicy. I most definitely am coming back and can't wait to try more items on the menu!
