Located on the gorgeous shores of Lake Mission Viejo and decorated with hand-painted murals, the picture-perfect hacienda features a menu packed with Mexican favorites.

If you bring a Valentine's date, the platon de tacos (for two people, $26.95) gives you both ample opportunity to eat from either end of a custom-made taco and meet in the middle—a couples activity as romantic to experience as it is disgusting to watch. Seafarers will dig the marinated convergence of raw fish, lime, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro in Tortilla Flats' ceviche ($11.95) or the sautéed crab and shrimp medley of chimichanga de mariscos ($18.95), while herbivores can savor some deep-fried tostadas stuffed with veggies ($10.95).

For more than 20 years, Noonerz' sandwichez have been handcrafted monuments to the power of fresh ingredients and thinly sliced cuts of meat. The catering menu boasts a variety of options for breakfast and lunch. Lunch boxez feature your choice of sandwich, including a veggie sandwich with grilled veggies, feta cheese, onion relish, and tomato. But floating ethereally above even its chicken-, roast-beef–, and tuna-salad–topped sandwiches is Noonerz' our favorite turkey sandwich, a melding of oven-roasted turkey, crisp bacon, avocado, onion relish, and mayo in rosemary ciabatta whose sheer deliciosity could change the world if used for good and not evil. Noonerz also offers Mexican, Greek, and Italian meals ($155) that serve up to twelve people or overstuff up to three people.

Peppino's menu of family-style portions provides more savory pairings than grandma could shake a slotted spoon at. Ease a land lover into the seafood sampler, composed of halibut, shrimp, scallops, and salmon atop a bed of angel-hair pasta infused with a garlic-basil tomato sauce and a splash of white wine ($21.95), or teach the young ones the true meaning of antipasto with a piled-high salad of salami, capicola, ham, mortadella, provolone, red onions, black olives, tomatoes, pepperoncini, kitchen sinks, roasted peppers, and mixed greens ($9.95).
