Any interesting takeout recs near UCI medical center?
The immediate area is a dearth of options.
LJ’s Lil’ Cafe for breakfast burritos.
6100 Bread but only Thursday - Sunday mornings. Closes by 1PM.
Le Hut Dinette next door with limited hours.
Burritos La Palma is a little out of the way.
If you go further south, you’ll get Cream Pan, THH for banh mi, Tanakaya for noodles, Oliboli for doughnuts, Kolache Factory.

Yup not much in the immediate area as @attran99 said. Anepalco breakfast and chilaquiles are good but haven’t been in a minute.
10 mins away you could bang bang at Tacos Los Cholos and Don Churros Gomez. Or go straight down Chapman to new location of Hanuman Thai.
If you’re driving back up the 5 you could choose your own adventure on Brookhurst. Right is Mo Rank Gak. Left is Zait n Zataar and Forn Al Hara.

Gonna echo what @js76wisco says.
Anepalco chilaquiles is probably the most interesting and best dish around the area. I used to work there so I am pretty much familiar with the lack of options around the hospital.
Lots of great options if you are willing to drive 10-20 minutes out to Little Arabia, Ktown Garden Grove, and Little Saigon obviously
Will you have time or do you need something really quick?
I’ll add El Gaucho Market. It’s pretty close to Los Cholos. The empanadas and sandwiches are all good especially with the house chimichurri. Might be fun to hangout with some uncles while they watch Messi. Call ahead to place an order of empanadas and grab a bottle of chimichurri.

Anyone tried this place, yet? It’s been hitting my IG feed. Downtown Fullerton.
