Luminarias Restaurant in Monterey Park

This restaurant located at the hill top of Monterey Park, right next to the Monterey Park Golf course. They serve mainly Mexician dishes. As we had a party of more than 10 people, we had to order from the set menu... either salmon or steak. The steak was good but not so much for the salmon. Service was a bit slow even though the restaurant wasn't full at all. It has a nice view, but not sure whether we will come back for more in the future.

Javier's Cantina & Grill in Newport Beach

My brother took us to this Mexician restaurant for dinner and it is by far the best Mexician restaurant we tried so far in US. Their nacho with hot salsa sauce was great, we couldn't stop ourselves from eating that. In the end, we had to order extra nacho and salsa sauce to take home. They also have a good selection of margarita. Service was good and they made you feel very welcoming. Price was reasonable too. A must to bring your family and friends there.
