"Salt + Lime owner Alan Efter got his culinary start from a food truck he operated in North Park, serving Mexican street food specialties he grew up around. At his first brick-and-mortar restaurant, Efter is bringing his street food specialties to North County and has since opened a second location in Costa Mesa. Located on Highway 101, the casual open-air restaurant serves favorites like Baja fish tacos, sweet and sour popcorn shrimp, steak chicharron huarache, and white mole with mushrooms. Daily happy hour operates from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. with a weekend late-night happy hour from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m." - Helen I. Hwang
