Eat, Pour, Love - The Wall Restaurant Review
Written by: Kristen Nichols
Sasaki Time was recently invited to taste the delicious food and drinks at The Wall restaurant located in Old Towne Orange, CA. We were lucky enough to sample a wide variety of their food and drink offerings and had the pleasure of speaking with some of the staff about the restaurant’s style and philosophy. The Wall’s menu offers the flavors of traditional street food combined with the shareable design of tapas. Their Elote Fries have a great aesthetic presentation while maintaining the flavor of traditional street-cart elote. The Wall is also known for it’s Frito Pie, the only restaurant in Orange County that offers it, and it’s own delicious housemade Choco Taco. There is also a specialty gourmet burger that changes with each month. The burger for June is the spicy Green Chili Crunch burger complete with a bacon and ghost pepper aioli.
The Elote fries with carnitas are flavorful and shareable...although you may want to keep them all for yourself!
The Green Chili Crunch Burger, burger of the month for June, complete with a Bacon and ghost pepper aioli. Delicious and spicy!
Frito Pie with an egg on top. The Wall is the only restaurant in Orange County that offers it!
Freshly made Peruvian Ceviche! So delicious I made sure to take the leftovers!
Housemade Choco Taco - served with Thrifty brand ice cream, a stout chocolate sauce, and a chocolate stout waffle cone shell! Amazing!
Generally, I’m not a fan of donuts but these Boozy Crullers with candied bacon and a maple bourbon glaze were probably my favorite thing we tried all night! Light and crispy perfection!
The Wall boasts 55 beers on tap, the most beers on tap in Orange County. Currently the servers are doing the pouring but a self-serve format is currently in the works. The Wall will soon be implementing an electronic wrist-band system that allows patrons to select, order, and have their drink automatically dispensed from the tap. They offer beers and ciders in 5oz taster, 13oz, or 16oz pours. Patrons can also assemble their own custom flights comprised of four 5oz tasters.
