“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely delicious!
I had the chicken stroganoff at Brazuca Cafe; it was amazing. The chicken was tender and perfectly seasoned, and the creamy sauce had just the right balance of richness and flavor. It was served with rice and crispy potato sticks, just like the traditional Brazilian style, and everything was cooked to perfection. You can really taste the care that goes into each dish. Friendly service and cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“We bought 3 small sandwiches and we were full. They fill those sandwiches perfectly, and they are so flavorful.

Not to mention the beach bites are perfect for an appetizer, or a meal which our son did and he loved the sauce. ( We got it hot, but you can order it cold)

Has a bar area with Tv screens perfect for game days!
Super family friendly, if I lived closer this would definitely be a once a week spot or more.

Vegetarian options: There is a few sandwiches that are vegetarian, but you could definitely substitute things in other sandwiches to be vegetarian friendly and Delicious.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options

Parking: It's in a plaza so but there is parking close by.

Kid-friendliness: Kida menu, the area is spacious. There were other families there at the time.“

“A wonderful little bar, with some great owners and bartenders. Came in here for a meetup event, and ended up having a great time thanks to the staff. They have an outdoor seating area as well as the inside with tables and booths. The bartenders were very fun and took care of me towards the end when I needed to get some sobering up, so I can easily say I'll be coming back here to support these guys.

There was some love music when I arrived too, so that's also a plus if you want some entertainment with your drinking. I didn't have any food while I was here, but I'll be sure to grab some next time I'm here and update my review. Definitely check this spot out if you haven't. Cheers!“

“We loved this place so much we already have made plans to go back. The food was delicious and portion size is great. Friendly crew, helpful and great service. You can also purchase frozen pies to take home which we will be doing“

“INCREDIBLE is an understatement! From the ambiance, to the service, to the impeccably currated menu. Just WOW. The attention to detail on every aspect at Casa De Onda was perfection. The tropical margarita was a show stopper, fresh lime and coconut is a combo I didn’t know I needed. The steak frites melted in you mouth & was topped with a homemade Chimichurri that was a burst of fresh flavor. The vibes from start to finish we insane! 1000/10.“

“Todo esta riquisimo especialmente las quesadillas son mis favoritas“

“Best Pizza in SoCal if you ask me.“

“One of my favorite boba spots! The staff is super friendly, they’re consistent with their quality, and most importantly super tasty. The strawberry matcha with boba is one of my favorite drinks here. Fresh strawberry flavor and a good green tea to strawberry flavor ratio. Definitely recommend!“

“My husband and I love Kuro Japanese Pizza at The LAB. It’s honestly the best pizza we’ve had in Orange County—thin, crispy crust, super flavorful, not too much cheese, just perfect.

I don’t know why it’s not busy on weekdays because this place deserves more customers. I hope they never close—I would miss this pizza so much. Highly recommend everyone try it!“

“The cheeseburger was AMAZING!!!“

“My 1st time coming here for lunch w my bestie Tammy 06.05.25

When we found out that there's going to be a Vox Kitchen opening up at South Coast. Was pretty excited!
Tried Vox before in Garden Grove City/Area.

What we Ordered

~ Prawns Garlic Noodles are delicious. Garlic noodles are on point and the prawns are big & juicy. A fav here for mee.
~ Seafood Scampi is also yummy flavorful dipped w the bread it comes with, lots of proteins.
~ Saltado- Filet is good. The filet is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The fries are good pairing with the protein.

Their cocktail drinks are delicious also along being pretty strong. Love it!

This Vox Kitchen is a Chinese and Latin fusion concept type of restaurant.

The restaurant ambiance is low key restaurant with an outdoor patio area and outside dining area in front of the restaurant entrance. Have some greenery plants and simple.

Service is great and fast for lunch when i came and dined.

Great place to grab quick bites and scrumptious too.
Highly recommended.

Located on the 1sr floor at the Crystal court side of South Coast Plaza.

TIP there's a YELP WAITLIST you can join on YELP. Get on list a few miles away from the restaurant.“

“A Wonderful Discovery in Costa Mesa

As a new customer at The Lost Bean in Costa Mesa, I couldn’t be more delighted with my experience. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed into a space that is clean, well maintained, and peaceful — perfect for relaxing or getting work done.

The coffee is excellent, crafted with care and consistency. The food is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Everything I’ve tried has been outstanding.

What makes this place even better is the staff, especially a gentleman named Chris. He is kind, sincere, smart, and attentive. He creates a welcoming atmosphere and seems to play a major role in running the shop.

The entire team is friendly and helpful, but Chris stands out. I hope the management team recognizes him and lets him know he is appreciated. He makes a big difference.

Because of him and the great environment, The Lost Bean has quickly become one of my favorite places in Costa Mesa.

Highly recommended.
