Los Lobos de Yorba Linda, California

Our friend Gustavo Arellano has a great article in the Orange County Weekly about the quintessetnial East Los Angeles bands migration to Richard Nixon’s hometown of Yorba Linda.

Arellano and Los Lobos paint a nice little sketch of Orange County:

Perez has enjoyed his 16 years in Orange County, and he has experienced all of its insanity, from immaculate Laguna Niguel (“They must have elves who come out at night with toothbrushes or something”) to Laguna Beach gentrification (“The billionaires are moving out the millionaires”) to SanTana (“I just about expected chickens to come crossing the street”). And since this is an Orange County-centric piece, we’ll end it with Louie’s restaurant picks: Thai Brothers in Laguna Beach, Irvine’s Wheel of Life and El Farolito in Placentia. But don’t bother with any restaurants in Yorba Linda, Perez says: “Food-wise, it’s a wasteland.”

The observation about Yorba Linda being a food wasteland is not entirely accurate. I recommend Wing’s Chinese on Yorba Linda Boulevard and Lakeview.
