Wow this is the 100th review for Eat in OC, talk about an accomplishment!\u00a0 Rooster Cafe in Costa Mesa is a worthy choice for my 100th review (not to mention the first restaurant name to start with the letter R).\u00a0 Why is Rooster Cafe worthy you ask?\u00a0 Well because this is the third time I’ve tried to write a review!\"Rooster<\/a> My previous 2 reviews of Rooster Cafe were never posted because I accidentally deleted the pictures, but not this time!\u00a0 Rooster Cafe doesn’t make any amazing dishes or any snooty food, they just make sandwiches and the like and they taste good.<\/p>\n

\"Rooster<\/a>I ordered the Randolph, which is a turkey, bacon, and avocado sandwich served on ciabatta bread ($6.99).\u00a0 The bread is a much softer version of ciabatta then I’m used to but it’s much better that way, because it’s not too chewy.\u00a0 The sandwich comes with just about the right amount of all the ingredients noo too much turkey meat like some places, but if I could change one thing I’d like a bit more avocado.\u00a0 The Mrs. ordered the BLTA ($6.49) which is a bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado sandwich served on thick slices of toasted sourdough.\u00a0 Both sandwiches are served with mayo and yellow mustard.\u00a0 The sandwiches also come with red onion that is sliced very thin to not overpower the other ingredients.\u00a0 Don’t get me wrong this isn’t gourmet eats but the sandwiches here really hit the spot and are near perfect.\u00a0 On previous visits I’ve had the breakfast burrito which is one of the best I’ve have in recent memory.\u00a0 If you don’t feel like getting a soda, or their great fresh brewed tea (which has lemon slices floating in it), make sure you have some of the lemon infused water, which hits the spot.\"Rooster<\/a><\/p>\n

Service always seems to be good, but there isn’t much to it since they just take your order at the counter and bring the food to your table, but everyone is nice there.\u00a0 It was enjoyable watching all the trendy kids that are trying to be cool and individuals walk over to the American Apparel store’s sidewalk sale, because all of them looked exactly alike.<\/p>\n\n

The Rooster Cafe is also the home of Boqueria’s<\/a> a tapas restaurant, Thursday – Saturday 5:30 PM -11:00 PM.\u00a0 Check out the recent review by Edwin Goei at O.C. Weekly<\/a>!<\/p>\n
