Dining Out in Mission Viejo I’ve asked for coverage of Mission Viejo’s business community, and I’d like to encourage support of local businesses. As an example, here are a few places I’ve found worth recommending. After reading the blog about Moxie Java, I went there (Mission Foothill Marketplace, east of Marguerite on Los Alisos). The coffee is great, of course, and the people are very friendly – employees and customers as well. I had a wonderful American espresso, and I noticed the menu, which has breakfast sandwiches that sound delicious. Another spot in the same center is Ennios, a great Italian restaurant next to Vons. I went there with several friends, and all of us gave it rave reviews. Someone really knows how to cook! I’ll bet most people in north Mission Viejo don’t know it’s there. Another place with wonderful food is the former Stubrick’s restaurant, at 28241 Marguerite, which is near Avery. The name of the restaurant is now Sid’s, but it still has beef stroganoff, which is delicious. Sid’s serves hearty meals, and something unique on the menu is a side dish of carrots. Children would eat their vegetables if Mom had this recipe. Sid’s has a sign on the wall, “Don’t tell nobody,” and I’m telling everybody. Marilyn Grein recently wrote in SVN about PM Bistro (on Marguerite near Trabuco), and it deserves another mention. As an example of the menu, the pork loin with Grand Marnier sauce is incredibly delicious and served with mashed potatoes and other vegetables. Mission Viejo is lucky to have this new French-style restaurant. None of these places has a waiting line, and they’re quiet and very reasonably priced. If friends come to my house and want a great meal, we’ll be dining out. Nadine Harder
