Santa Ana: Tropical Shave Ice & Oh For Sweets Sakes

September 4, 2010Leave a comment

I thought this was going to be a quiet evening until I looked at twitter (darn twitter!) and saw that a few trucks were in downtown Santa Ana tonight. I quickly changed out of my pajamas (don’t laugh, it was only 7pm) and drove down with my friend Karen.

Martin got a crepe from Crepes Bonaparte, Karen and I got shave ice, and then we went to the Oh For Sweets Sakes for a 6-pack of cupcakes.

My small vanilla with red beans and condense milk shave ice.

Santa Ana: Dos Chinos

Dos Chinos tweeted they were going to be on 3rd Avenue and Broadway for lunch. That location was just a few blocks from my office. I rounded up some coworkers and went. Unfortunately they were running late. Instead of showing up at 11:30, the truck didn’t arrive until noon. Plus the food was cooked to order, so we did not get our food until 12:20. Our hour lunch ended up being 2 hours! YIKES!
