š® Chaak Kitchen | Overrated Mexican in OC? š¤
Went to Chaak Kitchen for brunch todayāa spot my husband swore we'd been to before (turns out it was our second-date restaurant... oops, zero memory of it! š ). š½ļø What We Ordered: 𦪠Little Neck Clams ($18) ⢠Savory clam broth with avocado + minced meatābest dish of the meal! ⢠Pro tip: Soak the bread in the soupāchefās kiss! š¤ š® Lamb Tacos ($22) ⢠Too spicy for me š¶ļø ⢠Mushy lamb with zero gamey flavorāwhereās the lamb?! ⢠Verdict: Skip itākebabs do it better. š„ Avocado Cheese Toast ($16) ⢠Cornbread base = unique twist! ⢠Otherwise⦠basic brunch fare. š© Beignet ($12) ⢠Sugar-dusted donutāfine, but nowhere near churro greatness. šø Michelin Mystery: How is this place consistently Michelin-listed? 𤨠Either: 1) OCās food scene is that bleak, or 2) Michelinās standards are⦠flexible. š Chaak Kitchen #OCEats #MexicanFood #BrunchFail #MichelinMusings #OverratedEats #FoodieTruths
