Best Casual Restaurants in Irvine

Have been there multiple times and the food and experience continues to be consistently good. Went for brunch menu. Omelette ( a repeat order) was excellent as always. Spicy meatball pizza was great. Friendly service. Recommend getting a seat on the patio.

Great overall. We were sat outside, which was a little chilly, but the heat lamps did well enough. The waiter was a little quiet and didn't come around too frequently, which honestly worked for us very well as we had a lot to talk about. Food was certainly the highlight, unique and tasty offerings, artichoke eggrolls were unexpectedly good and my pork chop was fantastic!

Beautiful restaurant, they were very busy the night we went, huge party going on, so service was a bit slow, but very understandable. We had the octopus appetizer, it was ok, not enough flavor for me. I had the cacio Pepe pasta, homemade pasta was so good, sauce was tasty , a bit dry, but yummy, hubby had the lobster pasta with a red sauce, so good, we ate every bit! Cheesecake was delicious, espresso martini was very strong and good! We’ll definitely go back!

Food is always delicious and healthy. We always enjoy our experiences here .

Fantastic, fun time at Puesto Los Olivos again. Food was delicious! We had the salsa bar (all the salsas were fantastic. The table's favorites ended up being the sweet, smoky pineapple and the smoky tomato), classic guacamole and various tacos for Taco Tuesday. I had the Verduras taco with no cheese because I'm vegan. I appreciate that they always accommodate that request. It is delicious! Other people at the table had the filet mignon, short rib and carnitas tacos. The favorite was the short rib taco. The ambiance is fantastic at this location. We sat out on their beautiful, festive patio, with hanging lights and heat lamps. This is always a favorite!
