welcome everyone Adam is the whoo here
0:03
to day number 11 of this current series
0:05
where I go around to Los Angeles and
0:07
Orange County eateries and get myself a
0:10
meal today's destination is a place that
0:14
went away a Southern California staple
0:17
that has returned it has once again
0:20
reared its head it's over in Stanton I'm
0:24
inviting you to join me
0:27
Shelly you taking the car so not gonna
0:30
need the backpack so transporting some
0:33
of these items back into the carrying
0:35
around bag zip it down the 22 yeah I
0:39
know big the foot the next lane over is
0:41
the carpool lane but that doesn't apply
0:43
to us I don't think it does
0:46
located in Park Plaza right here on
0:48
Beach Boulevard this is a decorative
0:52
building to say the least
0:54
I like it still not a hundred percent on
0:57
the note about wearing these to county
1:01
by county this is technically OC which
1:05
is a little bit more a little bit
1:06
different than LA County and obviously
1:10
when I go in to order
1:12
and a respect for the employees you know
1:14
to have this on but when you eat a but
1:16
take it off because it's very difficult
1:18
to eat with this on says drive-through
1:20
across this pane of glass here or pane
1:23
of plastic across the front but I do
1:26
believe you could walk in if not I have
1:28
to get back in the vehicle and cruise
1:29
through the drive-through either way I'm
1:31
gonna get some food phone orders
1:33
delivery and pickup is also or those are
1:37
also options if you so choose now this
1:40
is I'm not yeah I can't really make any
1:44
claims yeah
1:54
you guys getting some novels I wonder if
1:54
I'm looking at the tables over here you
1:55
think if you could sit out with the
1:56
tables they have placed their name up
1:58
amongst the other places here in the
2:01
strip mall right there in the middle the
2:02
best of both worlds both tacos and
2:05
burgers excellent drive-through is in
2:12
full effect there is a guest in line at
2:15
a curiosity though what is this little
2:18
alcove of concrete that's yeah I don't
2:23
know what that is precisely it's a nice
2:26
conversation piece that's I will be
2:30
stepping inside to order but just
2:32
showing off the menu here from the
2:34
exterior burritos breakfast drinks
2:38
oh I'm just I'm just standing I'm coming
2:41
in I just looking at the menu board okay
2:45
I must be as heavy as a an automobile
2:49
they thought an automobile was in the
2:51
line
2:56
that's funny I was talking to someone a
2:56
moment ago that just got out of the
2:58
drive-thru and they were recommending
3:01
that the bean and cheese cup is one of
3:06
the kind of iconic items but I think
3:09
there's also something called a bun taco
3:12
that I heard about oh yeah here does a
3:14
bun taco I might try that never had a
3:18
bun taco so this might be this might be
3:21
the day
3:34
from this point the next major
3:34
intersection over is Chapman Ave but
3:37
there is a closer cross street the one
3:40
to100 block of Beach Boulevard and the
3:43
80 100 block of Park Plaza leads to
3:53
Naugles
4:06
the piece of plastic up there flow it in
4:06
the breeze pull on beacon to pass or
4:14
buying automobiles in fact that bug
4:17
pulled in a classic bug right there at
4:20
the drive-thru order window gotta love
4:22
that nice I bumped into Sean Clark here
4:27
and you're you're a local resident this
4:29
you grew up in this area right I don't
4:31
live here anymore I live South County
4:33
but I literally grew up in the
4:35
neighborhood over there I used to love
4:38
to eat here which this needs to be
4:40
Shakey's Pizza how Shakey's yeah I
4:42
actually have a story about this
4:43
Shakey's Pizza so in 1982 1982
4:49
these devil will arcade hear a videogame
4:52
tournament and whoever won the
4:54
tournament you've got to keep the
4:55
videogame why and they had miss pac-man
4:58
they had asteroids there was the blur
5:00
was like four different games and I
5:02
entered the tournament I did not win but
5:05
my best friend Ken Castro won the
5:07
asteroids machine
5:09
took it home and I own it today
5:13
nice the asteroid machines in my house
5:16
came from this Shakey's from there and
5:18
there still is a Shakey's over by Disney
5:20
labs
5:20
nagas was near and dear to me because
5:23
established in 1970 I was born in 1970
5:28
it was just one of my favorite places
5:30
and
5:36
in 1988 they got bought out by Del Taco
5:36
and then by 95 del Taco shut down all
5:39
the novels and just turned them into del
5:40
conte but there's a good chance if
5:42
you're eating in a Del Taco in SoCal it
5:44
used to be an obvious to be a Nagas
5:45
there's a funny thing on Lake Forest I
5:49
live in Lake Forest now on Lake Forest
5:50
there's two Nagas excuse me there's two
5:53
del tacos across the street from each
5:55
other on El Toro Road in Lake Forest and
5:58
it's because one used to be a novelist
6:00
and it's just funny that they're both
6:01
still in business and they're you could
6:03
throw a rock at one one gather you know
6:05
there was a big you know thing for
6:07
novels to come back and a thing started
6:10
online on Facebook and they opened an
6:13
experimental store in Fountain Valley
6:14
and it's been open since 2015 and it's
6:18
been doing really good but if it's in
6:19
like a business like it's like a
6:22
business type of non residential area
6:24
yeah yeah it's not residential there's
6:26
it's they don't really even have a side
6:27
the thing I liked about is the fact that
6:29
they do have an outside panel
6:45
got our food now gonna go find a place
6:45
to sit and eat in the shade goodness
6:48
gracious this place is a hotbed of
6:50
classic feet look at that van in this
6:52
car the heck socal car culture is a real
6:57
thing just like SoCal food culture

7:03
classic vehicles at the establishments

when they reopened in 2015 their
10:52
experimental one they didn't have
10:54
burgers they were only doing tacos and
10:56
burritos so I went in hard on those for
10:58
the first couple of years then they
11:00
brought the burgers back and now I'm a
11:02
burger guy again
11:03
