[sftnslky]

So besides Hometown dose anyone have any other buffet ideas that would be semi close to the Disneyland area? We are drving down from Northern Ca...so we will have our own car... Hubby heard about a churoscoua [I know that is spelled wrong... have NO idea how to spell it] place near,they are the all you can eat Brizilian BBQ place? Where the bring different meats to your table on HUGE swords?? And besides PF Changs any local chinese resturant that we could get take out at and bring back to the hotel? Sorry for all the questions.. Getting sooooo excited...only 13 days to go!! Oh and anyone know of any family friendly Mexican resturants outside of Disney?

I had similar questions to yours and I have found the yelp.com website SO very helpful. It's free and very easy to navigate. You put in the zipcode of wherever you are staying and then can search restraurants by category--buffet, mexican, etc. I saw that Brazilian restraraunt you were talking about on there. They give you reviews, but what I liked best was that they linked to the restraraunts webpage and menus if they were available. Also, (this is the cherry on top ) some people post pictures of their food or what the establishment looks like. This is great site for all the overplanners out there!

There's a Brazilian Churrascaria in Fullerton, on Lemon Street very close to Disney Character Warehouse: http://www.amazonbbq.com/amazon.html

As for family friendly Mexican, I'd suggest Chile Pepper in Orange, on Main Street just south of Chapman:

There's a Panda Express on Katella just north of the Anaheim Stadium. We often get Chinese To-Go from China Wall, on Ball Road west of Brookhurst. Not much to look at, but the food is good and plentiful.
