664326 Tue Nov 03 06:51:25 -0800 2009 2 2 Los Angeles Area 0 5151616 I have a pot luck lunch to go to this Sunday in Aliso Viejo. I will be coming from Carlsbad, CA (Legoland) after a short weekend getaway with my family. Not being familiar with this area, can anybody suggest restaurants along the way that I can order food to go (chicken, meats, noodles, but not dessert) for a party of 12. Any kind is fine, but I personally prefer Asian. Thanks.

Tip Top Meats Have a look at their menu. Really good quality, but I don't know your range of personal tastes. Its categorized as a German Deli. TIP TOP MEATS http://www.tiptopmeats.com/ OPEN DAILY: 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM 6118 Paseo Del Norte Carlsbad, Ca. 92009 (760) 438 - 2620 It's is kind of a wasteland of excellent restaurants from Carlsbad to and in Aliso Viejo. A handful of really good places in San Juan Capistrano, but mostly dinnerhouses. Nothing Asian. (3) Maybe you'd find something you'd like on the menu at Cedar Creek Inn. Their food is very good. See lunch menu at http://www.cedarcreekinn.com/sanjuan.html (4) Really good Asian in Laguna Niguel at China Moon. http://www.chinamoonrestaurant.com/ (not enroute, but not far from Aliso Viejo) 30001 Town Center Dr, Suite 4, Laguna Niguel (949) 249-6868 Have a good time Sunday.
