Earlier this month, I wrote about another very good, reasonably priced restaurant in Mission Viejo called the Grill Hut, which serves kabobs or plates of vegetables, chicken, or steak, most meals under $10.

And now, my new find, the Waba Grill Teriyaki House at 25800 Jeronimo just off Alicia Pkwy in the same shopping center as Jack-in-the-Box.  Unless you’re compelled to stay in the car when ordering food, the Waba Grill will get you in and out just as fast if not faster than ‘Jack’.

More important, the food is very tasty and  made with 100% all natural ingredients, no MSG.  All meats are charbroiled, no oil is ever used for cooking, nothing is fried.   They have ‘drive-thru’ prices.  Examples: Chicken Bowl, $5.09; Chicken Salad Plate, $6.99; Salmon Plate, $7.89; Half-Half Veggie Bowl (half rice, half veggies, chicken & steak), $5.75.  Cooked fresh to order, low fat, high protein, low calories.   You need to give this place a try.

Phone orders ready within 15 minutes.  Phone:  949-380-8803

They have 15 other locations, 3 in our area:  Lake Forest, Irvine, and Santa Ana. Website is www.wabagrill.com.
