The Jetty - CORONA DEL MAR

I don't think it's the Tackle Box more, although the same menu is offered. We spent the day on the beach and ordered lunch from the CDM Beach Shack and was extremely disappointed. We ordered chicken strips and fries, a hot dog, corn and the Buffalo cauliflower. In the past, corn and cauliflower were really good, but I was so disappointed today. It was busy and was quoted a waiting period of 15-20 minutes for our food, but it ended 35 minutes. The corn I received was really cold and lacked the charcoal that the corn normally has. It was swallowed in something, but it wasn't Cojito cheese. The Buffalo cauliflower, which is deep fried, was burned outside, but the cauliflower was soft and muddy. You have the chicken pliers and the pommes right if that's what you do? after, it's a safe choice. Otherwise, I would skip to get food here and bring my own. We definitely miss the food that the Tackle Box produces.

This location is a small building in the center of Northport Beach. The food was incredibly full of color, flavor, spices and variety of proteins combinations. You must stop here to enjoy great food. An FYI, You do have to pay for parking in order to eat at this location.

This is my go-to lunch spot during Newport Beach and Orange County Restaurant Week for the last three years. I always get the Buffalo Cauliflower as a side. To me, everything else around it is a side. If this is your first time, I suggest starting with the pork. They do have a veggie option for those who don't want meat. During Restaurant Week, the meal costs $10. The entree comes with chips, one other side and a craft soda. They have outside and outside seating that is covered with heaters. Public restrooms are about 50 yards away. Parking is not a problem during a weekday lunch hour. You suppose to pay for parking, but I never have since the parking lot is wide open and I am guessing not patrolled since there is no one here during this time of day.

Had the shrimp roll and Banh Mi sandwiches... BOMB! Great food and great service with lots of enthusiasm and kindness. Thank you!

Bomb food! The Chilaquiles were so lit I didn't even take a pic. Devoured it. We then took on this beautiful burrito. Crispy potatoes and eggs that don't crumble out and make a disaster. Crisp smoky bacon and avocado. So much flavor in these dishes. Can't wait to eat it again tomorrow! post edit closed on mondays all day, closed Tuesday breakfast... boo!!
