663379 Thu Oct 29 16:04:15 -0700 2009 3 2 Los Angeles Area 0 5141435 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! :) Thu Oct 29 16:04:16 -0700 2009 1120221 acali 1 5141507 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 Again Thu Oct 29 16:42:52 -0700 2009 5141507 1120221 acali 3 5141577 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).
