A hundred years ago the table land called El Modena was covered with sagebrush and cactus webbed with sheep and cattle trails. Early in 1886 a town was laid out in the brush country and named Modena, but to eliminate confusion with another town an El was added to the name.
The town was soon settled by colonists from the middle west who belonged to a "Society of Friends", more commonly called Quakers. David Hewes, though not a Quaker, donated a large church bell. The building stood high and conspicuous in a land that had few trees or houses. The friends were newcomers to California and were not acquainted with its unusual weather.

The chicken chimichangas are super good. Also the shredded beef tacos are a great too. They put ton of fresh shreds cheese, chopped tomatoes and shredded lettuce. Soft chicken tacos are good as well. My boyfriend had ordered those. Enjoy everyone. A beautiful place to dine is out on the patio under stars and Christmas lights.

Never in my life had a chimichanga that was just meat thrown in a tortilla and fried. No cheese? Tacos looked great, maybe next time... Service was slow. I get it we're in pandemic, nobody wants to work. Not an excuse for getting exactly one glass of water with my meal and sitting empty for the last half.

It's about the outdoor dining space that makes it special. Particularly when the Sun goes down - the outdoor lights, strung dimly across the outdoor space.. . It's actually quite romantic. Food quality is what you would expect from a famous Mexican food joint in Orange County. Sure it's authentic, the quantities are huge.
