A Hole-in-the-Gas Station Burger Joint
We got lunch to-go from Peter’s Gourmade Grill. I heard about this place from OC Register and Yelp gave really good reviews. It literally is a hole in the gas station (Valero). You can text your order in and pick up in 20 minutes. $1 carne asada tacos were absolutely delicious and were my favorite out of everything - look at all that carne asada! $4.75 cheeseburgers - also delicious!...
