Coast Magazine Coverage of Taco Maria, Restaurant of the Year

“Restaurant critic Brad A. Johnson’s opinions are among the most valued (and at times feared) in California’s culinary world. He’s the only critic to have ever won both the James Beard Award for criticism (2009) and the Gordon Bleu World Food Media Award (2010). For more than a decade, he’s presented his annual restaurant awards in LA and OC. To arrive at this year’s selections, he dined over 400 times, driving more than 8,000 miles across Orange County in a never ending search for something great to eat” – Coast Magazine

We are please to announce that Brad has selected Taco Maria as his 2014 Restaurant of the Year! Read the Coast Magazine article.
