Lunch at Ta-eem Grill trying shawarma (chicken)for the first time!
Shawarma is a Levantine Arab or Arab meat preparation, where lamb, chicken, turkey, beef, veal, or mixed meats are placed on a spit (commonly a vertical spit in restaurants), and may be grilled for as long as a day. Shavings are cut off the block of meat for serving, and the remainder of the block of meat is kept heated on the rotating spit.
All the yumminess that we had…
Tasting of Guacamole (LOVED ALL OF THEM!!)

I am usually not a fan of tequila, but after trying some at Red O I can easily be persuaded!
*Melrose Happy Hour Sunday through Friday from 5pm – 6:30pm
I really enjoyed the live band playing Gypsy Kings music (My favorite).
There’s also another Red O location in Newport Beach (that’s my next stop). I’ve heard it’s worth the trip! (hint, hint)
