Default Where to go on Mother's Day w/ your family ?

I'm really bad finding a good restaurant, can you guys help me out ?

Mother's Day is coming and I'd like to treat my family to a special dinner BUT it doesn't need to break bank either. It's gonna be 8 people...so $25/person is MAX, less is better actually (yes, i'm cheap when it comes to eat.... ). Restaurant around OC would be perfect. Last year I went to Tortilla Flats - Mexican Food in Mission Viejo...that place is , food is OK....

For Mother's Day...

If you want to stay more local...
Cheesecake has a buffet/ brunch on sundays.

Buca is good. Taco Rosa should be right around 25 a person. Peppinos is a decent italian place also.

Here are some of my favorites:

Felix Intercontinental: Cafe Cuban food at its best, and for cheap. Most entrees are $10-14 per plate. Located in Orange Circle at City of Orange.

Knott's Chicken Restaurant: good fried chicken in a comfy atmosphere; a great local and tourist find. You can get a three course meal for about $15.

Seoul Korean BBQ: all-you-can-eat grill-at-your-table all-kinds-of-meat feast. $20 per person during holidays. Located in Tustin.

Ashoka: Indian cuisine in Cerritos on Pioneer. They usually have a buffet lunch, but dinner is by menu. Quite inexpensive, and something completely different for Mother's Day.

Victory Bakery and Rstaurant: one of my new favorites. Mediterranean, Greek, and Middle Eastern cuisine, with bakery that has gelato, french pastries, and dozens of kinds of baklava. Located on Brookhurst and Orange in Anaheim. Just called them and confirmed that they'll be open from 9AM to Midnight on Sunday. I may have to go there...
