Seabirds Kitchen’s Grilled Mushroom Taco

 

Menu highlights include Seabirds’ flavor-packed purple potato taquitos with chipotle sour cream,  fermented curtido and almond feta; longtime fans covet the signature beer-battered avo taco. Popular brunch offerings are fluffy flax pancakes and a savory rosemary cheddar biscuit. Fresh blueberry mint lemonade is slightly sweetened with organic agave. On the menu for South Coast Plaza: a list of low-proof cocktails. Flavored simple syrups, shrubs and cold pressed juices will be made in-house to pair with spirits, kefir sodas and kombucha. “Great for those who want a fun and refreshing drink that won’t inhibit their shopping skills,” said Morgan. Sounds like a smart plan to us.
