25th Birthday Dinner - Fullerton, Brea, etc..

[acali]

Looking for a semi-inexpensive option for a 25th Birthday dinner in the Brea-Fullerton area. There will be about 15 people or so, most in their mid to late 20's. Something fun.

The birthday girl favorite types of food: Italian and Mexican.

I'd probably avoid (unfortunately) the SE Asian inspired restaurants this time, but appreciate any any all reccomendations!!!

Thanks! :)

Nearby Placentia has solid Mexican homestyle cooking @ El Farolito, but they also have low ceilings and might get really loud. Good prices too.

Cantina Lounge near CSUF has nicer Americanised Mexican food and has a couple break-away rooms that could accommodate your group.

Another option would be the patio area of Yardhouse in Brea.

Italian in general is pricier than Mexican, and I don't know of any place that could fit your group as nicely as the other three.

Thanks OCAnn. This is great. I'll take a look at those 3. I've been to El Farolito... very tasty.

Thanks Again

BTW, if those fail, you always have the standby chains in the area that most of the CH folk deplore: Buca di Beppo, Cheesecake Factory, BJs Pizza, Olive Garden, Lucille's BBQ and Claim Jumper (all of these off the 57 @ Imperial).
