• 124 E 5th St
• This is not for the healthy-minded. If you love carnitas, then this is the place to go. Their side offerings of freshly made tortillas, rice, beans, and salsa are just as delicious as the carnitas, but that’s about all you’ll see on the menu.

• 3550 Harbor Blvd
• Located next to the Channel Islands Harbor, this restaurant serves up an array of traditional Brazilian tomato-based seafood stews in clay pots. Very pricey, so I recommend going for lunch for the more affordable prices, or sharing a meal between 2. If you’re a foodie and want to try something different, this is the place to go. Perfect on those days when the marine layer likes to hang around.
