“We held our daughter and son-in-laws “ day after wedding” gathering for friends and family who couldn’t make it on their wedding day in 2021 (because of COVID limitations). We also just held a co-ed baby shower for them just this past weekend there.(2023). You now can reserve an area (for a fee) and get catered platters of food items. This made it so much easier than individual orders. Usually there is a band playing on Saturdays and Sundays. The staff were all nice and great to work with. It was great to have a large outdoor venue for their baby shower.“

“This place was recommended, i finally made it! Enjoyed a steak taco and a pastor taco. The meat was very tender and flavorful. The salsas were fresh and delicious. These might be the best tacos I’ve had in some time. I tried their Red (and I’ve tried many), it is well worth coming back for, great beer! Their beer and menu choices are worth repeat visits. I have worked in hotel/restaurant in the past so I can tell they have freshness and great flavors here. Bravo!“

It is cooked to perfection. I came today after a couple of years, and they have simply not lost their magic touch. The same staff from years ago making the same delicious recipe. Trust me, this is the spot!“

Salty Bear Brewing Brewery • $

“Salty Bear in Costa Mesa is a really chill spot with a relaxed vibe and friendly staff. The atmosphere is great for hanging out with friends, and the prices are fair for both drinks and food. I love the overall energy of the place, it feels casual and welcoming. The only downside is that the tables and booths are pretty uncomfortable and not very sturdy, which makes it hard to fully relax and enjoy a long visit. Still, it’s a great spot overall, and I’ll definitely be back for the good vibes and solid value.“

“We went here yesterday with our team, and everything was fantastic! The restaurant has its own brewery with big tanks where they brew their beers, and the IPAs were excellent.

Our server, Gil, was super nice and helpful. He arranged a long table for our whole group so we could sit comfortably and hang out. He also gave us great recommendations , I tried the Ginger Salmon with rice and quinoa, and it was very tasty, healthy, and perfectly cooked. For appetizers, I ordered the Ahi Tuna with tortillas, which I really enjoyed since I’m trying to eat healthy. We also tried a few other appetizers that everyone liked.

My co-workers had a mix of burgers and sandwiches, and everyone said their food was delicious. They don’t serve vodka (only beer and wine), but they were kind enough to bring me hot water with lemon since I asked for tea.

After dinner, we sat outside on the patio by the fireplace, enjoying the sunset and the beautiful sky , such a relaxing way to end the evening. Parking was easy too, with spots in front of the restaurant and plenty more in the nearby shopping center.

Overall, a great experience with amazing food, drinks, and service. Highly recommend it! 🍽🍻“

“Chihuahua Cerveza is a total hidden gem in Costa Mesa. The vibe is laid-back, the service is great, and the food absolutely delivers. Their quesadilla is hands down the best around — perfectly grilled, cheesy, and packed with flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and it’s the kind of dish you think about long after you leave.

The drinks are crisp and refreshing, and it’s a perfect spot to hang with friends, grab a beer, and enjoy good food in a fun atmosphere. Every visit feels easy and enjoyable.

If you are anywhere near Costa Mesa, do yourself a favor and get the quesadilla at Chihuahua Cerveza. It is unbeatable.“

“I wasn't impressed. The food was just so so and kinda bland. So disappointed in the cornbread. I live in the south so maybe its a southern thing to have amazing cornbread with bbq. This is all subject to my own opinion of course. Everyone has different taste buds and someone else could have totally enjoyed it. Ithis placr just wasn't for me..

The best thing was the service and the cocktails.“

“Disappointed to take some stars off here as we enjoyed one of our two trips here. The second one however, they opened the restaurant about 10 min late which sounds trivial unless you’ve walked across the park and already sat waiting 15 min. Also, it’s just not something that should happen at a restaurant imo.

Then our server just…forgot the adult entrees. They were ready and waiting when I asked another server who was super helpful but how does one miss that?

Not terrible but uncertain we’d go back.“

We arrived a bit early and were seated promptly. Orders were taken quickly, and our appetizers arrived almost immediately followed shortly by our food. Our server was attentive all evening long and took care of our needs. And those $13 meal deals cannot be beat! Thank you so very much for a great experience!“
