El Gallo Giro is a Mexican Food restaurant located in Santa Ana, Orange County, California.  If you're from Southern California, then you know how much we like our Mexican Food.  If you're not, then you need to be sampling the variety of Mexican food Orange County has to offer.  You can pick almost any commercial street, drive a few blocks, and find a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant.  They're not always great, but in general, they're pretty good.

But you don't have to guess now, head down to Santa Ana on the corner of Bristol and Edinger and have yourself a Torta from El Gallo Giro.

Electric Daisy Carnival, Las Vegas

Orange County is located 4 hours by car from Las Vegas.  For this reason, Las Vegas is a popular weekend road trip for local Orange County residents.  One long weekend a year is especially popular, June brings the Electric Daisy Carnival music festival to Sin City, and what an experience it is.  Handfuls of the worlds top DJ's flock to Las Vegas to perform and witness what in my experience has been the most spectacular musical event I've ever seen.  Las Vegas has signed on for at least 5 more years of EDC, with a possible extension as well, so this post should be relevant for a while to come.

See An Angels Baseball Game in Anaheim

There has been a lot of controversy in recent years about some name changes for the home baseball team of Orange County (The Angels).  Once the California Angels, then the Anaheim Angels, then the Los Angeles Angels, now I think they're just the Los Angeles Angels, the one thing they can't argue is that the baseball team is not from LA, they're from Orange County.

If you're a baseball fan in Orange County, Angels Stadium is a great stadium to see a game.  They gave the stadium a major overhaul in recent years, and are still updating things regularly.  Even if you're not a fan, it's still a fun day or night event, come out and see the Angels play, grab a hot dog, some soda or beer, maybe a nachos, and enjoy yourself while supporting the local OC baseball team!
