ANAHEI’M FIRST–Support Local Businesses

By Erin

This year has been a rough one. Ever since covid hit earlier this year we’ve all pretty much been at home. This has caused some very challenging times for all of us because of our ever changing stay at home orders and restrictions. I have been supporting local restaurants and shops as much as I can during this time. I partnered up with ANAHEI’M FIRST for this sponsored post, to share the FREE, easy and instant access to the best deals for the best places in Anaheim. All opinions are my own and I just love dining out (or getting take-out in 2020) to support local small businesses.

“Shop local” and support local restaurants and small businesses during these very challenging times. Orange County along with the rest of Southern California, is still under extreme purple-tier restrictions, which means take-out only. BUT, restaurants and shops are STILL open and need YOUR support more than ever.

The ANAHEI’M FIRST program helps local restaurants and small businesses in Anaheim. ANAHEI’M FIRST is for the city, its restaurants and small businesses, residents of Anaheim and others in the area. The program is FREE, and the sign-up process is easy. There are a lot of great restaurants AND breweries participating, and plenty of offers to take advantage of to help you save money.

No need to download any apps. It’s so easy and convenient to use. Here are a couple of the deals I have already used myself:

*This deal says Dine-in only, but as there is currently no dine-in available they are honoring this deal for take-out* The tacos are delicious, so make sure to try at lest one of each! 😉

Pop Bar has some super sweet offerings! Take the whole family and try some fun flavor combinations. They have some great flavor combo suggestions for you to try or you can make up your own. Either way, you are bound to end up with a sweet treat you will love.

Offers are sent instantly via email or text; simple to redeem “contactless” at the restaurants and breweries. Get instant deals on ANAHEIM’S favorite places for dining, drinking and shopping. Join FREE in just minutes. Get offers instantly to your phone. ANAHEI’M FIRST is a must for saving at the local places you visit most. I love seeing this type of dine-and-drink local initiative – during these tougher times, this is a great way to support our businesses in Anaheim.

There are over 75 restaurants including places like URBANA Mexican Gastronomy & Mixology, Pop Bar, Karl Strauss Brewing Company, Anaheim White House Restaurant, Corner Bakery, Grocery Outlet and many more!

I have already used the offers at Pop Bar and Urbana Mexican Gastronomy & Mixology, both located at the Anaheim Packing House. I love going here! There are so many cool places to try and the atmosphere can’t be beat. I tried the Strawberry Pocky Pop-Strawberry Sorbetto half dipped in milk chocolate with waffle cone topping and white chocolate drizzle. 

I also tried the Ferrero Rocher–Hazelnut Gelato full dipped in Milk Chocolate with almonds and waffle cone topping. Both of these pops were delicious and I would have them both again.

Just a few of the flavors and seasonal flavors being offered at Pop Bar right now!

At the Urbana Mexican Gastronomy & Mixology I used the deal to get a free carnitas taco with purchase.

The tacos I tried were:

Pork Belly Taco: house pickled cucumber, chili oil, cilantro aioli, blue corn tortilla.

Carnitas Taco: Habanero salsa, queso fresco, pickled onions.

Arrachera Steak Taco⁣: guacamole, pico de gallo, salsa, queso fresco

They have a lot of different kinds of tacos to choose from, I need to go back and try some more!
