verdict: tasty, try it!

after watching pageant of the masters, it was OBVIOUS to us that the stampede of human bodies speed walking to the parking lot would mean a horrific traffic jam. we decided to go get gelato to wait it out. we took a quick stroll to tutto amore "where love becomes flavor." hahaha cheesy.

you get 3 "free" samples to taste so i tried the watermelon, mango, and mint chocolate chip. i really wanted to see what other flavors were available on the farther side of the counter, but a human line blocked my view and didn't care to squeeze in between butt cheeks to take a look. i settled on mango (which tasted like fresh pureed mango) and mint chocolate chip (can anyone really ever eff this flavor up?). a small cup with two flavors set me back $3.99 and they were generous with their servings too since it was 2 minutes till closing. one of my friends got their hazelnut. oh yum!

nothing sweeter than discovering another gelato shop and spooning a mouthful of sweet gelato into the pie hole. and yes, the parking lot was cleared by the time we walked back to our cars.

clean and ready to close.

whacked out taco taste

Taco Laguna

price: $
verdict: hells no!

coming from l.a. where great mexican food for cheaps is readily available really spoils you. somehow when we got down to laguna beach for pageant of the masters, i thought i could find the same. so naive i am. i had a burrito craving and a quick stroll around the area yielded taco laguna. for $7.34, i got a wet carne asada burrito and a small drink. great deal right? great deal until the first bite that is. *sigh*

the meat was cut up into tiny chunks. at one point, i had to inspect the meat to see if it was ground beef instead. nope. they also used this whacked out cheese in the burrito which gave the burrito a whacked out cheese taste. overall, not tasty but i was too hungry to protest.

the only redeeming quality about the food is that it didn't give me diarrhea. it gets an extra one star for that.
