Regina's - Garden Grove

Two. Let's talk about Regina. We really enjoy the food and the service. While no restaurant is flawless, Regina's warm hospitality and the consistent quality of her dishes make each visit worthwhile. A few tips: the staff is small, so be patient. You can expect clean restrooms and a well-stocked establishment featuring items from South America.

Jaime was a delightful representative of the restaurant. We ordered several dishes and were pleased with our choices. We started with three Ceviche Mixto, which featured a variety of seafood without fish. Everyone enjoyed it—while not perfect, it was certainly fresh and generously portioned. We also tried two tamales in the Peruvian style with pork, which were not only tasty but also a good size. From the Argentine side of the menu, we had two marinated chicken breasts served with rice; they were beautifully seasoned and easy to eat. Many items on the menu caught our interest, but we had more than enough food for the four of us. The restaurant also offers an array of desserts, several of which looked quite appealing. The prices were about $18 for the ceviche, $9 for each tamale, and $15 for the chicken plate, which seems quite reasonable these days. Overall, we felt well taken care of and enjoyed the blend of Argentine and Peruvian cuisine under one roof (in alphabetical order). We even met a few lovely Argentine ladies who made the wait for our food much more enjoyable. The total came to $106, which was quite reasonable given the generous portions, including salsa and bread. I would give this place four stars.

I indulged in the chicken and spinach empanadas, and the sauces really elevate the flavors! Make sure to give them a try. The tamal peruano, wrapped in a banana leaf, was incredibly moist and flavorful. I also enjoyed the papa a la huancaina, which was delightful. To top it all off, I had to order their lucuma ice cream—it's so creamy and smooth that I highly recommend giving it a taste!

The empanadas were really good. I felt chickens and spinach and cheese. You also have the beef option. You also have wine. The staff was friendly. Really enjoyed the Empanadas.

Awesome place to eat. We got bistec a lo pobre and the picante de mariscos. Those plates are delicious!!! We also got the wine flight, which was pretty good, and the charcuterie. The charcuterie couldve been bigger but it was good. This place has never disappointed and the food is exquisite. Its a must try for anybody who wants Argentinian or Peruvian food. Also, everybody is super nice and helpful. They all have good recommendations and they know about food and wines.
