Where To Have A Date When It’s A Really, Really Big Deal - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Costa Mesa isn’t exactly close - it’s about an hour from Downtown LA - but considering that’s how long it takes to get across the city during rush hour, it’s a small price to pay for a really special meal at Taco María. So is $79 - the cost of their incredibly inventive four-course tasting menu. Two people is the perfect number for this place, because there are two options for every course, so you can just order the entire menu. You’ll eat things like peanut and smoked sturgeon tacos, and the most interesting peas and rice salad you’ll ever taste. The drive back to LA will fly by when you’re talking about this meal." - Brett Keating
