2013
Here's the places in Orange County, CA, that I know of that will be open on Christmas Day 2013. Not all of them are Mexican. If you are planning on going to any of them it doesn't hurt to contact them ahead of time, because even if they are open they may be too full to seat more:- Del Taco
- El Torito and El Torito Grill
- Tortilla Jo's at Downtown Disney
- Kabuki (they have a sign on their door saying they will be open)
- Pinot Provence (across from South Coast Plaza)
- Catal Restaurant (at Downtown Disney)
- Five Crowns
- Don the Beachcomber 11am - 8pm
- Wild Goose Tavern

2008
Have been getting a lot of people doing Internet searches lately for "orange county restaurants open Christmas day 2008." As far as Mexican restaurants go the only one I personally know of right now that will be open that day is Tortilla Jo's at Downtown Disney. Tortilla Jo's does not have a special holiday menu for Christmas day but they do have an interesting one for Christmas Eve. If anybody (customers or restaurant owners) knows of any other Mexican restaurant that will be open Christmas Day in Orange County please e-mail the info to reviews@ocmexfood.com or leave a comment in this thread and the information will be added to this entry.
UPDATE
Mexican restaurant
Chevy's in Anaheim Hills is open from 12pm - 8pm.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No Chinese food? HAHA! Merry Christmas Christian!
ReplyDeleteAnd a Merry Christmas to you too. Getting ready to post your BFT - SA review.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I can't quite put my finger on your post is making me want to watch "A Christmas Story."
Merry Christmas sir and thanks for your fine work as always...
ReplyDeleteAcapulco is open as well...
Is it really necessary to have people working on Christmas? I mean, can't we just make and eat our own food for once on that day so everyone can be at home with their families? Not to shove an agenda down anyone's throat, I would just hate to be forced to work on Christmas because my boss wants to keep the store open.
