Maybelline Vasquez
New Mexican restaurant in the Irvine area. In the middle of all the corporate/business buildings. Upscale, valet parking , parking structure (make sure you get your parking ticket validated) ordered the salmon esquite plate to go. Healthy choice. Super delicious! $48. Check it out! Totally recommend it if your in the area.

The highlight of the meal was their signature Grilled Sweet Corn. It was a delightful blend of flavors, and the smoky grilled taste was simply amazing. Trying it for the first time was a revelation, and I can’t wait to have it again on my next visit.

We were the first to arrive first lunch last week. The decor is modern and beautiful! We had salads, a taco, and chicken tortilla soup. The food was delicious, the noise level very low, since it was early. Our server was fine and we had no complaints . We would have considered returning for brunch but the menu for that day was too limited. We miss El Torito Bar & Grill’s brunch!!
