“What a lovely chef, and an unbelievable meal. This was one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in my entire life. The service was attentive, the food thoughtful and inspired, the atmosphere comfortable and clean. On its own, the menu was incredible. Every single plate was well-described and beautifully prepared. I may never recover.And Gino… was LOVELY. I have met many chefs, and dined in fine-dining/Michelin-quality restaurants around the world. This was a superior experience. Gino was knowledgeable, kind, and friendly in a way that is truly rare. We would have come back for the food alone, but Gino made it a memory and an experience. He also personally (and kindly) chased us down to return my purse — the food was so good that I completely forgot it.Thank you — from a couple of new Canadian transplants who felt infinitely welcomed and well-fed.”
“Excellent breakfast option in the Irvine and Tustin area. French style cafe with a wide variety of foods, coffees and desserts. I recommend arriving early, the approximate wait in the mornings is 30 minutes to 1 hour. The service is very different from what they provide in the USA, if they clean your table between meals and offer you additional items. Highly recommended”
“You should consider your reservation to Trust as a dinner show starring master chef Justin, sous chef Kyle, wine expert Trish and Jared, the man that makes things happen. This 13 course diner show included the absolute best bread in town, duck, steak and ravioli amongst others, finished with three different desserts. Chef Justin told story with each course served, the wine was not just served, Trish gifted with love. So did the deserts, you can tell that Kyle had poured his heart and soul into the sweets.Be on time for your reservation and bring a hungry appetite. It is worth it.”
“Kaizen Shabu is honestly such a vibe. First off, the food is AMAZING. The Shabu broth is so flavorful ? I’ve been craving this place so much it’s ridiculous. The servers are also all so friendly and knowledgeable about all the different food / drink choices. The vibe is always really fun as well. I highly recommend this spot!”
“Great dinner with friends on Saturday night. Very busy, but the manager was totally organized. The bar is small, but she kept in contact with customers waiting. Seated us right on time. Perfect lobster ravioli and fettuccine bolonaise. Attentive staff heard us talking about a missed birthday and surprised us w cheesecake w "happy birthday" scrolled in chocolate on the plates. Nicely done!Parking: Large open free self parking lot between Plaza drive and Sunflower.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Food is very tasty and prices are good. Team of servers are friendly. It is our favorite place to take friends. Everyone always finds something they like on the menu.”
“Tried this place out for lunch and left very happy! It was pretty dead for a Thursday at noon but I assume for evenings they get busier. My husband got the OG Platter which came with two tacos, a quesadilla, and a mulita and he was happy with the portion size. I got the Birria Ramen and man was it full of meat. They normally put cheese but I didn't want that with my ramen. The broth is so good and not too oily like other places. I really enjoyed that the meat was not too fatty so you are getting good quality. We also got a churro with lechera and strawberry ice cream which was so good I forgot to take a picture. I enjoyed everything so much I can't wait to go back!”
“Went here for a date on a band night and I absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is romantic and a little edgy with some cool framed paintings on the walls. Every Wednesday and Sunday, a band comes in and plays. And the drinks were well crafted. My date and I had the Vietnamese Shame Wheel and Pedro Pascal. They were sweet and balanced out with some spice. The glasses came frosty and chilled and our server was friendly and attentive. A must-see and I plan on coming again for sure!”

“Excellent business, I would give this business 10 stars, because they have a variety of refreshing drinks and desserts, my favorite drink is the Mystic Mermaid, I recommend it.Pedro, and Justin, and their family are very friendly, and provide excellent customer service.The decoration of the place is very beautiful, and it is always impeccable, as for its cleanliness, I love this place.Kid-friendliness: There are drinks for children”
“I called when the shop already closed and the baker told me to call back after 30mins so he can clean up a bit. The service is on top tier he said that he tried to read the phone manual just to find my phone number. How sweet he is. I dont know about cake sizes so I said i want 8" for 6people and he stop me and told me i should get 6' instead since 8' is too big. I surprised, every business try to up sale but they only want the best for their customers. Huge respect and the strawberry shortcake.... Chef kiss do i have to explain more? Go get the dam cake”
“I ordered some food to go. Got the souvlaki mix which comes with chicken and steak skewers. Both were very good. Also added some pilaf rice which was very tasty. The hummuspita bread and salad was a nice touch. Service is always friendly here and i never had a bad meal here. If you haven't tried this place i highly recommend you do..”
“Dropped in for breakfast and got to sit in their cute euro chic patio enjoying a delicious breakfast and the beautiful California sun. We savored the veggie omelette, Denver omelette and indulged in the home made waffles. Adding this family-need gem to the rotation ✅”
“Highly recommend Gully. Best halal burgers in SoCal. Ignore the bad reviews. I attend the festival and they provided the best service for the occasion. The service is great, they make sure you are taken care of and are always working to improve. I recommend getting the 3x3 with grilled jelopenos, with a side of Gully fries. It might seem like a lot of food but it's surprisingly easy to eat. You don't feel stuffed but rather satisfied. Go check it out!!”
“Great service. Great food, especially if you're new to vegan. I think most meat eaters could eat one of their burgers and not realize it isn't meat as well as enjoy the flavors.”
“I came here during restaurant week. It was my first time trying this place. The people were helpful. It was easy to place an order and got the food quickly. Would definitely recommend this place. I like how they have a wide variety of drinks. They also have a good selection of sauces. I usually tend to park in the parking structure and the then just crossed the street to Hammer Burger. They do have happy hour too!”
“Tacompadre in Santa Ana is a total winner! Let me tell you, their quesabirria tacos are the stuff dreams are made of. The birria is melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and they don't skimp on the filling. But the real star is the crunchy flour tortilla. It's the perfect balance of texture to the juicy goodness inside.Looking for something a little different? The suadero alambre is a must-try. The suadero (skirt steak) is cooked to perfection, and the whole thing is overflowing with melty cheese. They don't forget the veggies either, which adds a nice freshness to the dish.And to top it all off, don't miss the chocoflan. It's the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Creamy chocolate meets decadent flan in this delightful dessert.Overall, Tacompadre is a hidden gem in Santa Ana. Amazing food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!”

“I like the Japanese place next door so i tried to do a takeout 10 mins or so before closing, but they still said it was too late. So i yelped this place & it had great reviews...they were closing too, but they welcomed me! Both the guy & gal were soooo nice & helpful & patient since i've never been there before & i kept adding to my order as things sounded so yummy! And, everything was amazing! I came back to p/u a snack for the theatre; couldn't remember the name of what i got last time so i jus' got fries well done & they were awesome too! Will be back; highly recommend & wish them well!!!”
“I visited from Ohio and had the pleasure to try their food. It was truly delicious. I felt like I was back in Egypt. The food was amazing and the workers were super nice.”
“One of our main go to spots over the past few years since finding it! Super respectful staff and accommodating with our requests. Always leave happy and with a full belly!”
“The staff is always so pleasant and attentive. The food is delicious!!!Vegetarian options: They have veggie sandwiches and paninis as well as a breakfast sandwich.”
“I was looking for a quick vegan spot by my hotel and wasn’t disappointed! I got the soul savior sub and would highly recommend it. A was working and was so accommodating.Vegetarian options: The entire menu is vegan/vegetarian friendlyDietary restrictions: Excellent choice for vegans, vegetarians, or anyone plant-based.”
“Very good taco and quesadillas ??✨ service is nice. The shrimp and octopus tacos are very fresh. They have tables for you to seat down and eat. Price is reasonable. Clean and yummy. Will come back!”
“Round up your foodie friends because I have found THE perfect spot for your next aesthetic night out, this place will instantly transport you to a fairy garden oasis.With their seasonally inspired menu, we had to order a little bit of everything, and I recommend that you do too! Be sure to try the Gochujang fried chicken, Braised short ribs, and Brown butter cake that it is absolutely out of this world.And can’t forget about the drinks! Butterfly strawberry spritzer and Lavender lemon basil cocktails, both were super pretty and strong.Thanks for reading! ^-^”
“I don’t drink often but Marc seems to understand my palette better than myself and recommends me the perfect beverage every time. The atmosphere is a breath of fresh air the moment you walk in, if you’re looking for a good time AND a long time all at once, bring yourself here alone or with a group of friends!”

“Food is very good and healthy. Hummus was all super fresh. The person worked there was super nice and patient. The only things are no free water and the wait could be long if there are a lot of people.”
“Love this place! Coffee and the baristas are great. Love that they have their own spot now. The back area is a nice spot to just chill and catch up with friends or family. Highly recommend catching this place out. I love the guava pastries they have too. There's usually parking on the street. I think there's a lot in the back too.”
“Well pizza is good better than most this review is for the order takers or the person making the pizza. Someone needs to start paying attention. Your pizzas are not cheap and are decent quality si when some one is dropping almost 100 bucks on pizza the least you can do is add the extra cheese they pay for or any other toppings. This was the 4th time I ask for extra cheese and seems like you keep adding less. Its no the money i just hate getting robbed. Not asking for anything free just what we pay for”

“I love it when Araceli is my server! She's always so friendly, professional, and has a smile on her face. Even when it's crazy busy, like this Sunday morning, she still took great care of us and all the other tables. I asked for a to-go box while she was juggling other customers, and she dropped everything to grab it for me. Very impressive! Araceli is the best.”
“First time eating here food was DELICIOUS! Whole family approved and service was great!Kid-friendliness: Daughter had Mac n cheese and fries and my son had a no spice chicken tender and fries and both of my picky kids approved!!”
“Frequenting this spot for sandwiches, my success rate stands at 3 out of 4 - pretty good odds! Hot stuff is my usual choice, and nothing beats the delight of the chicken pesto, my absolute favorite.”
“Solid coffee shop, attached to a space with a collection of select/apparel shops which makes it a fun stop whenever you're around.I had the basic latte and dirty vanilla chai, hot, hich were both tasty. I was impressed with the latte for their strong fruity taste; I don't have coffee that distinct in character often, so it was a fun drink that made me want to try their drip next time. The dirty vanilla chai was a fairly standard vanilla chai, solid.Sitting room inside is a bit limited, though there's some standing tabling outside, and the line was a little slow though the service was good.Def will come back and would recommend.”

“This place was DELICIOUS. I came here with one of my friends and we got the wings, some fries, and the Thai salad :) all was delicious and fresh and very well seasoned. We also got 2 drinks each and they were both so yummy! I got the lychee martini and the so fresh so green and they were so good!!!!! The lychee martini was more bitter and the so fresh so green was sweeter and lighter. Service was quick, efficient, and friendly! And the ambiance is cool, it's a tiny little place with a few tables and a bar so it felt very intimate :) I would return!”

“I love this place i go atleast 3 times a week and im never upset. hands down the best Mediterranean food around.Vegetarian options: a lot of vegetarian options labeled with a green leaf”
“During my trip to California, I visited this restaurant because it was mentioned in the local newspaper as a good restaurant. It tastes better than expected. The owner is friendly and the service is good. I plan to visit again!”
“A great breakfast spot. Busy yet quick to serve. They mean business :-). Serving up breakfast quick without making guests feel rushed. Delicious, will be back. The staff kindly greeted us, apologized for the wait, then served up our meals in a snap.”
“Tried this place as a recommendation from our friends. They raved about the Snowflakes roll which was spicy and delicious. We also had the spicy edamame, the Thousand Island roll, and the Vegas Baby roll. We picked up our order to go, but the place was very full on a Sunday evening.”
“We visited here from Arizona and this is the best place to stop at for some brunch! The food was even better than we expected! We need more restaurants like this where we live!”
“The place was warm and cozy! The server Aldo gave us great customer service, always checked up on us and was very nice. The food was delicious, definitely would come again!!!”

“Best Indian food I’ve had in the area. Edward is passionate and knowledgeable about his food and the prices are excellent. I only wish they added salty lassi to the drink menu. But I suppose mango lassi covers most people’s wishes ;)”
“Excellent sushi, prices, service, and some unique Korean influenced items. Dining area is small and parking limited paid meters. I ended up parking in Burger Kings parking lot. Shhhhh don't tell anyone.”

“10/10 - highly recommend. I used Mediterranean Guys for a event I needed catered. I ordered food for 25 for pickup. The two times I called the restaurant I got knowledgeable, friendly people who was able to answer my questions right away. The food was ready when I needed it, all extras were included (plates, utensils, etc), and all staff I worked with were pleasant and very helpful - they gave you the sense that they were on top of things and you could trust them to get your order right. The guests at my event kept complimenting the food - everything was excellent. Thank you Mediterranean Guys!”
“I’ve been going to this place when in town for over 10 years and it has never let me down. Impeccable menu, top notch service and atmosphere, and the bartenders know exactly how to do things. Cant say enough just how awesome this place is.”
“I've been here twice so far and have yet to be disappointed. I love to go for brunch so that's where most of my experience focuses on. They have unique and super yummy options. The waffle and french toast are both great. My friend even got the gluten free waffle and loved it, said she was still thinking about it two days later. I know it's a weird thing to focus on, but also love their bacon...it's so crispy and thin, which is great. It's a super cute atmosphere, inside and out. Very dog friendly with the patio seating and the service is always amazing. Super attentive and friendly. Always feel welcomed. I could go on and on...just give it a try, you won't be disappointed.Dietary restrictions: They seem to have a wide variety of dietary restriction options, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc.Parking: It's downtown Santa Ana so parking is paid, but at least it's less expensive than LA parking. Both street and a parking garage are nearby, very walkable”
“One of the best Thai restaurants here in Orange County. Freshness is important with Thai food, and even after delivery, vegetables and entrées were not soggy. Tons of flavor and authentic Thai cooking. Very similar to the Thai restaurants I’ve tried in Asia.”
“We were there on a Tuesday night as a break from Disneyland. This place is the gem of Santa Anna we had the cauliflower and Brussel sprout appetizer. We then had the taco Tuesday tacos. We finished up with carrot cake.I will be back here in a flash. Everything was absolutely delicious from start to finish. Not to be missed if you were visiting Disneyland, and want to break.”
“This is a great spot. I've been here a few times to hang out, and had some very good meals. The staff is always amazing and have great hospitality. Gio was the best! Today though, I had the shrimp ceviche and was completely blown away. I ate it before I thought to take a picture. This was the best ceviche I've ever had. You have to order it and thank me later!”
“The employees were nice. The stir fried rice was the best dish. The stir fried chicken was very strong and salty, the rice balanced it a little but still too strong for me. Seafood pasta was on the plain side, not much to say but it had a burnt aftertaste.”
“Absolutely loved the food here! I tried and garlic chicken with rice and beans and it was great! Service is also very good, staff was super friendly and attentive.”
“If you’re looking for The Authentic Taste of Oliver Garden and a very great and wonderful restaurant than this Olive Garden is the perfect place for you and the family. Not only is their customer service one of the best I have seen at an Olive Garden in years, but one of the freshest made food. Our food was right out of the oven with fresh bread and soup. The manager was very kind and noticeable at all times, asking if we needed any at all and this was at a busy time it was busy but everyone (staff was in great manners and very respectful as well as courteous. Thank you again we will be visiting again. ???PS the Tour of Italy with Mushrooms is amazing ?”
“Great prices for how much food you get. We loved all the dishes we ordered, especially the stir fried noodles. The restaurant is ran by very nice people, would definitely be back!”

“Honestly, it's probably better than most mexican spot around not overpriced. Great protion size must try the nachos probably better than everywhere else since they use nacho ”
“Veronica was an amazing person. Always making sure we had and like our food.Dietary restrictions: Live the way they ask how you prefer your food and also recommend you various options.Parking: Plenty of parking space.”
“I always come here at night and wonder how this store manages to have so many donuts available. Usually, most places I know would sell out and stop selling by the afternoon. The lady here is really friendly and remembers me from the times I've visited. Anyways, the glazed donuts here are great. They are soft, tastes great, and have an eggshell crisp exterior. I only wish they were warmed up onsite.”
“the food here is so freaking delicious! everything tastes fresh and homemade, not to mention the prices are great. we never regret ordering! always makes our night :”
“Friendly hard working staff & delicious food. For fast food they shine! Been going here since college.Vegetarian options: BRC but if VEGAN just get without cheese.

“This review is for the restaurant after 12:00 am. Great Mexican restaurant. The environment is all great vibes thanks to the staff and their great customer service. Me and my friend come here after important business meetings. We have been here over a dozen times and it's always the same great food, and great service. You can feed 2 people with about $20. I highly recommend the wet burrito. It is the size of my forearm along with a large horchata. If you're a vegetarian, this isn't the place for you to graze unless all you're eating is beans, cilantro, onions, and peppers. There are about ten tables inside the restaurant, and about four or six tables in the outside patio, all seating either two or four people each Restrooms are always available although I've never been in them so I cannot say what they look like inside. On this recent visit, we saw security guards outside the restaurant. I am not sure if this is a recent addition, but it was also the first time we came to this restaurant before 1:00 am. There is plenty of parking. Thankfully, we do not get too many hipsters or scummy people come by (at least when we're here). There are transients in the area that will come by and hang out in the outside patio, but we usually ignore them. I highly recommend this restaurant. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.Parking: Plenty of parking outside the restaurant. Enough parking for a full restaurant on a busy day.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly. Nothing inappropriate displayed inside or outside the restaurant.”
“The place is very nice, everything delicious, everything clean, hot and of quality, the supervisor Carmen is the best cared for and does her job excellent. Thank you for working for us ”
“Gerardo is great example of the service industry. I informed them of my allergy to cilantro so no tomatoes. At the counter he said guacamole also has it and recommended I get something else. Thank you!!”
“Went in today for their special offer, a FREE 6inch deli style sandwich. Had to take my boy since he loves Subway & he was happy ?Parking: Parking is in the back of the building, & also behind Norms.”
“This is a brand new spot food is up to par staff is not very friendly and very judgemental. Lots of homeless people hanging around. Best to go through the drive thru”
“The food was good, wasn't over the top, but everything was made correctly and pretty fast. Our waiter was pretty attentive, but considering we were the only ones there, I could not give an accurate assessment of the service. The atmosphere was great, though, no one there. I give 4 stars only because I was not able to really get a good assessment of the place, but I would recommend it.Wheelchair accessibility: Has wheelchair accessibility.”
“One employee didn't wash his hands after using restroom. He also did diarrhea in the urinal on the wall because the toilet was in use by a customer. This employee then was seen handling food and management did nothing after being informed of the employees behavior or hygiene habits or lack of I should say.”
“If there is one thing this McDonald's does well its delivering consistency. No matter what time of day I visit their customer service, speed, and food quality is always the same. I'm in and out of the drive thru in less than 4 minutes with the correct order, friendly service and fresh hot food (as far as fast food goes). Props to the management team and crew, you're all doing a great job ?? thank you. ? Also, they have the best fries!”
“Is starbucks's new we love hey buddy who works there they're nice they're welcome to you everything is new and the service thumbs up new parking lot and close to the freeway thanks to the new manager thank you we don't have change we had $100 and he gave us a coffee free thank youDietary restrictions: They have love fat milk almondParking: That's a lot of parking space special in the morning when everybody goes to work and it's close to the freeway and this new even the parking lotKid-friendliness: Every parent knows every kid likes Starbucks so their kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: They have handicap parking space in the store big so no worries for wheelchair access”

“Awesome Pizza and great service! We randomly stopped to get food for the family and this place did not disappoint! Very happy we stopped! Garlic Cheese Stuffed Knotts were great!”

“Favorite local spot for tacos. Pastor/pollo/asada all top notch and if you're feeling extra gluttonous, the asada fries with nacho cheese are the best. If you like hot salsas, their red sauce is also A+”
“Went there once, they gave my wife and I each a free pastry. The old fashioned we got was delicious as well as the jalapeño cream cheese roll. Will be coming back to try the lumpias.Only negative is that a donut and two pastries cost just under $10.”
“I had the *extreme* pleasure of stopping in here on my road trip and meeting Justin. My brown sugar milk tea w/ cheese foam was probably the best drink I’ve ever had. Justin, I would also let this tea knock me up if possible. You’re the shiz :)”
“This is by far the best Thai cuisine I’ve ever had. They have many types of curries, but my favorite has been the Panang and pineapple curries. Very good place if you love hot comfort food. The portions are big too with lots of perfectly cooked rice on the side. The atmosphere is very upbeat and busy. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Have the option for tofu”
“There is a lunch special. It is 2 to 3 dollars cheaper than a regular meal and comes with a salad or soup, main dish, and dessert (fortune cookie). The food is really delicious, but it takes a very long time during lunch time because it is delivered together.”
“OMG THIS WAS THE BEST FOOD IVE EATEN IN YEARS. I ordered a california roll and yaki udon and boy I was impressed. Their employees were svery nice and the food cane out nice and fast. Totally recommend!”
“I loveeeeee the coffee here! And the courtyard in the back is perfect for letting my little one run around while enjoying coffee! I get the vanilla latte and I love that they serve it in a mug! I only wish I had been able to try the cookie butter latte before they got rid of it!”
“So many GREAT things to say about Pacific Patisserie! Not only was the cake beautiful but it tasted amazing and was nice and moist! It's hard to come by a beautiful cake and it tasting as good as it looks! You made our special day amazing!”
“Got it as a gift from my nephew. It was really good. Beats out other places eg cheesecake factory IMHO. I wouldn't say I eat lots of cheesecake but of the places I've tried would give it top tier rating. AND it looks just like the pics, so no bait and switch.Nice smooth texture and not overly sweet.”
“One of the best tacos nearby, especially a great price. About $1.50 for your basic meats, you can definitely smell the truck as your driving by. You can also call in the orders, makes it fast, since it does get busy. I have there # saved, my go to spot ??”
“This place is located in the bustling plaza of Bristol Food Court. The service was quite fast, as there was only two people working at the entire restaurant. I went here once before. The first time I ordered black bean noodles, and they were really tasty. Today, I ordered tteokbokki and it was sooooo good. Like maybe I was just hungry at the time, but it was really tasty and the rice cakes were just the right spicy level and chewy. It was so good I forgot to take a photo of it. The overall food court is busy and it might be hard to find a seat during lunch hour. Overall, this place is a really good Korean joint that is rare to find in Santa Ana.”
“Excellent Tortas and Tacos: Although there was a brief wait in line, it was entirely justified. The torta and tacos were deliciously flavorful. This establishment has quickly become my go-to spot!”
“This place really doesn't look like much and if I didn't search it on yelp, I never would've found it but I'm glad I did. I had the galbi plate and the burger and was shocked with how good the burger was. The galbi was also delicious but I got the order to go and was a little bummed there was no sauce or anything in the box with the galbi. All in all I'd absolutely go back.”
“Amazing 2 thumbs up had my share of birria this spot is worth the spot located in the warehouse contractors parking lot on 4th street in Santa Ana pull up get that birria Ramen.”
“Best taco de al pastor of my life. The torta was huge and filled with meat! The salsa they offer is delicious. We also tried the quesadilla de al pastor. I saw this place on Instagram and it did not disappoint. The cashier that helped us was very kind as well.”
“We were there on a Tuesday night as a break from Disneyland. This place is the gem of Santa Anna we had the cauliflower and Brussel sprout appetizer. We then had the taco Tuesday tacos. We finished up with carrot cake.I will be back here in a flash. Everything was absolutely delicious from start to finish. Not to be missed if you were visiting Disneyland, and want to break.”
“The pho here is pretty good, not anything super spectacular - I ordered vegetarian pho in attempt to be healthy and it was mostly bok Choy for vegetables. We came on a Saturday evening for dinner time and it was fairly empty just us and another customer seated. Service was quick. The beef garlic noodle was good, a bit on the greasy side but beef was tender and free tea! Winter melon tea was delicious. No free dessert anymore! I didn't like that the lighting inside at night it was cool fluorescent lights didn't feel very warm or homey.”
“Ordered some shrimp empanadas and the Tostada Caliente. I wasn't prepared for the journey my tongue was about to embark on upon taking a bite into that empanada. The empanada was so good that it made me forgive everyone that's ever wronged me. The tostada caliente was so flavorful, I wasn't even prepared for it. I gave some to my neighbor, we've been fighting for years. But after sharing some of this food with him, we're now pals. We're supposed to grill next Saturday. All jokes aside, food is great, customer service is excellent. And I highly recommend.”

“Tried this place out for lunch and left very happy! It was pretty dead for a Thursday at noon but I assume for evenings they get busier. My husband got the OG Platter which came with two tacos, a quesadilla, and a mulita and he was happy with the portion size. I got the Birria Ramen and man was it full of meat. They normally put cheese but I didn't want that with my ramen. The broth is so good and not too oily like other places. I really enjoyed that the meat was not too fatty so you are getting good quality. We also got a churro with lechera and strawberry ice cream which was so good I forgot to take a picture. I enjoyed everything so much I can't wait to go back!”
“This is my favorite go to restaurant in the area. The food tastes great, comes out fast and is more than enough to fill my belly. The service is top notch. I always have a special order and they make it just perfect. The servers are superb and always friendly and nice. The prices are very reasonable. I can try and sugarcoat this review and make it all nice and sweet but I don't have to as the place speaks for itself. Just go for yourself and you will see.”
“a phenomenal Taco establishment, some of the best burrito I have ever had. quite a gem. I had El Pollo loco burritos two days before and I think it is safe to say I will never have them again. these are real burritos you know, it's a different thing. the El Pollo loco burritos made me sick but fortunately that did not stop me from my love of burritos. sometimes if you get sick after eating something it gets hard to enjoy that thing. b I learned this in psychology class. the human body is amazing but it is so full of hatred sometimes.”
“These guys always hustle here for being so busy, especially during the lunch rush hour. It is always a fast and great service. Food is always delicious. You can never go wrong here. Customer service is excellent, always greeted with a smile and very welcoming.”
“DELICIOUS!!! I'm from NC, so we don't have this great place to enjoy. I got a single cheeseburger with fries and a lemonade. All were very good!#hamburger#restaurant#cheeseburgerParking: Plenty of parking and it's free”
“Great food and delivered fast. It's not really fast food but prepared quickly. I just had an omelet and it is real eggs. Not the boxed liquid kind that Mc Donald's uses. I will definitely be back.”
“The workers are very nice to me and welcoming. but the food can be hit or miss, the chilli dogs are a classic but do not get the burgers, the burgers are as plain as paper, so are the fries. Also, the shakes are good and the ice cream.”
“went to study with friends and drink some tasty drinks. loved the Mexican chocolate frap, tastes just like home?it does get full fast, but there's seating outside as well! it's one of the only coffee shops that stays open late too!”
“I was very impressed, my parents are both from Guadalajara so I had high expectations walking here and I have to say it was very very good and tastey. I got the trio tacos and it was”
“It’s always calm, the cashier didn’t have a name tag but he was so joyful. He was efficient, and the food came out at a reasonable time. Love coming here. Highly recommend”
“I have been going here for years, usually once a week. Customer service is good, nothing spectacular though, everyone's pretty friendly and attentive. It's one of the few places left in Santa Ana where you can go and have a burger and fries almost street side, I will warn you that there's only 2 or 3 tables, outside dining only, very small space. We always like to sit and watch cars and people go by.My family and I love their big steak cut fries, they're always hot, fresh and made to order. Plus, they aren't too much $$. They serve them individually, each in their own paper bag, packed with extra salt packets, napkins and plenty of ketchup packets. Worth the price, in my opinion. The burgers are good too but I suggest you don't go too late in the day, bcuz they're not so fresh once the sun goes down. Unfortunately this has been my experience, recently. I did call and complain about getting old cold, rubbery patties that were so chewy that my little boys couldn't eat them, and they promised to replace them (they have a little book to write down customer complaints, and stuff they promised to replace along with customers name and number, date of Purchase, ect.) but when my husband showed up a week later to get the burgers replaced, the guy who was working there, (also the same guy who we spoke to on the phone and promised to replace those nasty burgers), says that we took too long to get them and he removed the offer from the book!! (Short little Mexican dude) Sorry I don't remember his name anymore. Really guys??? Really Bad business!! This recently happened to us twice, since then we ask, in advance that our patties are made fresh, to avoid this from happening again. If you have an issue with cold hard food and you don't have money to just throw away, I suggest you check your food before you leave, ask for freshly made patties or just don't go too late in the day guys or you're likely to receive warming drawer meat, that's been there for a long time!! Oh also, I sometimes order grilled cheese for my kids but the way they make them is terrible! They were like warm cheese sandwiches, no buttery golden bread or melted cheese. They were nasty, I had to ask for them to be custom made, extra toasted and please butter the bread. After they made it my way, it was perfect! Hope it helps someone out there! This has only been my experience recently, for the most part, they do pretty good. Thanks for taking the time to read my post guys!!!Vegetarian options: Grilled cheeseSaladsFrench FriesParking: The restaurant sits right in the center of a big parking lot.Kid-friendliness: They have lots of kid friendly foods.If you have little ones you might want to keep them seated close to you, or in their stroller or car seat since the tables are right next to the parking lot and the sidewalk and street is very close to their tables.”
“I go here with my love, all the time! The food is always fresh, always delicious, never had an issue here. Customer service isn't the best as far as in-n-out service goes, but that's ok, because they also don't act rude, it's more just that it's always packed and they're just busy.”
“Perfection.. So so delicious.. If I could give it a 20 I would, it was that good.8:00 am and glad they were opened, we did the drive thru. Looked very clean all around the outside. We ordered the Carne Asada burrito and Taquitos. We received our order fast, Servives was friendly. My son loved the carne Asada burrito he said it was very delicious. I had the Taquitos, presentation was a 20+ Rice and beans with cotija cheese over the very tasty beans, 3 taquitos perfectly crispy, sour cream and guacamole and cotija cheese over them. So so good. If ever in this area again, we will definitely do a stop and eat here again .”
“So I ate everything before I could do a review. 2 grilled fish tacos and a regular salad without meat came to about $13 with tax. The salsa has a bit of a kick. I got a dry lime I couldn't use, so now I'm forced to go back for more delicious tacos just so I can try it with lime. Nice. I'm super full.Vegetarian options: Salad.”
“Nice person on staff here this evening- working hard, cleaning everything, managing the counter and drive through, and being hospitable and welcoming to customers, not insufferably condescending. That’s what it’s about. It’s rare for this chain to have decent staff. This is a win. This employee is a winner.”
“My coworker who's from the area said that he's been coming here since some 20 years ago and he has never not loved it. So I trusted him and we paid this place a visit. Of course I went with the pastrami... cuz of the restaurant's namesake. I liked it but didn't love it for some reason. Maybe it was a little too greasy for me? Didn't like the cheese fries either, but it's because it was so good but I was on diet so I couldn't... lol”

“I almost never give a 5 star. I edited my review from 4 to 5, because the manager replied to my review and invited me back. Well done. I will be in, with work associates, the next time I'm in town. Excellent food, great service.”

“The food was amazing, the place was spotless, and the gentleman that owned the place was so sweet and kind. Please support this place, the kabobs are ridiculously delicious!!”
“First time here, visiting OC on vacation and heard that I have to try the Mexican food in SoCal. I’m from Oklahoma, so I have had some good authentic Mexican food. Theirs was otherworldly. The waitress was SO sweet and was giggling and dancing to the music playing genuinely having a good time. It was such a fun atmosphere.Tried the steak and shrimp. I have only had steaks this tender at some of the fine dining spots I’ve been to. So much flavor and so different from what I can get in Oklahoma.If you are thinking about trying this place, PLEASE DO! It’s kind of hidden away but out of the few places I had Mexican food at on my visit, this one was by far the best.It is in my cards down the road to be back in Santa Ana (what a lovely city) more permanently and when that time comes I will frequent this spot!”
“Great local find and glad to support a small traditional bakery. Will order ahead next time, was pleased to get the last boule today (a Saturday) just 15 or 20 minutes after they opened.”
“One of my fav cafes in SNA! Clean white atmosphere. Friendly staff. Parking is mostly street. Drinks are amazing. Fav is their espresso tonic and their frozen sweet latte (seasonal) when it's out.”
“The mole here is EXCELLENT!!! Service is good and prices are fair. Have had other stuff too- everything is great and tastes homemade but my go to main dish is the mole- I love both kinds and they served me a little of both on same dish- that was really cool of them to do.”
“Chef Patrick is the best! He’s a fantastic guy, always takes care of us.The food is wonderful, really flavorful and juicy chicken and the ube flan is delicious! The musube was a treat too.”
“At La Torta Loca, the exceptional customer service truly stole the show during my visit. From the owner's generous gesture of offering a complimentary fruity water to the unparalleled care and attention given to both me and my dog, every moment was marked by genuine warmth and hospitality. And when a fellow diner raved about her tacos, it only reinforced the extraordinary level of service that sets this place apart. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend La Torta Loca for an unforgettable dining experience centered around impeccable customer care. En La Torta Loca, el servicio al cliente excepcional realmente se robó el espectáculo durante mi visita. Desde el generoso gesto del dueño de ofrecer un agua de frutas de cortesía hasta el cuidado y atención inigualables dados tanto a mí como a mi perro, cada momento estuvo marcado por una calidez y hospitalidad genuinas. Y cuando una compañera comensal elogió sus tacos, solo reforzó el extraordinario nivel de servicio que distingue a este lugar. Sin lugar a dudas, recomiendo La Torta Loca de todo corazón para una experiencia gastronómica inolvidable centrada en un cuidado al cliente impecable.”
“I'm giving a 5vstar cause it is very clean and the servers are really nice . I got a ham & cheese croissants and chairs tea and it was a perfect quick breakfast for me . The croissants is fresh and warm when served goes well with July chai tea. Their cofee station has pumped flavored creamers and fully stocked better than Starbucks. I have to get another item which tge apple fritter and it was deliciously sinful . Awesome morning, I will be a loyal customer.”

“If you are reading this to see what the public thinks and you are craving a sandwich... Stop reading and buy now... they have a delicious seasoning ? and if you have 8 cylinders or more buy 2 ?. And don't even worry about the prices. I already tried everything before publishing and I recommend it 10/10.”
“Always phenomenal. Great people making delicious and healthy food. One of a kind restaurant and market.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. I opt usually for the incredible beans, which I also regularly buy and make at home. They are distributed by a company called Rancho Gordo. If you have never tried their beans and are a bean lover, life is about to get a little sweeter.Parking: Free parking behind the restaurant.”
“This is where mom and pop came to enjoy abuela’s recipe. This is as original as it gets. Great service and price. If you are around come and try it. Will def comeback.”
“What better place to go to eat some tasty breaded fish tacos, very deliciousOoos, uff and the golden aguachile taco my favorite!!! This place is very clean, the people who are charging are super friendly, very nice. Thank you for preparing such delicious food for the cooks!???????”
“A great Dennys location. Food tasted better than the average Dennys. I got the Wild Alaskan Salmon dish with rice and broccoli as my sides, and some avocado. Wait time for the food was a bit longer than expected, but totally worth it once I started eating. One of the few times I leave the plate completely empty. Restrooms are clean, they have a number pad but it wasn’t active during my visit so I could walk right in. Staff are very friendly, in particular Aldo was a perfect waiter, checked in on us and made suggestions as needed. We would definitely come here again.”
“Something to note: Elohim & all of the taco trucks in the area used to be located on Grand ave, but have recently relocated to Harvard St.I absolutely love getting Elohim crepes for dessert after having tacos for dinner I love love love crepes and the price of $9 for unlimited syrups and toppings is such a steal. Personally, I prefer not to overdo it with toppings, so I just get nutella and strawberries every time. If u pay with cash, there's no extra fee, but if u pay with card there will be. I believe the fee is relative to how much you spend, so it can range from $2-$3 but I don't mind. The wait can get pretty long later at night, so I'd recommend going closer to opening if you don't want to wait. These crepes are so fresh so there's inevitably a bit of a wait, but they're warm, moist, and soft as a result. My favorite crepe spot ever!!”
“Delicious The best restaurant I give them 10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Delicious food affordable pricesBariety of foodAnd the smiling and friendly staff”
“My strawberry banana smoothie was so delicious! Fresh fruit and clean working space. This was way better than Jamba or other large smoothie places. Also the guy working the counter was friendly and quick.”
“Went to this place after a family function and the food was amazing. Enchiladas were so good. The servers were always checking in despite it being busy. Great service and I loved the pineapple margaritas they had! Loved the little hacienda type decor. Amazing place.”
“Deliciously quality sushi with wonderful service. I have been at this place for more than 20 hrs. A bit expensive nowadays because they only offers omasake. Worth a treat once a while, not like old days where I stopped by once very couple weeks.”
“Love our food there every time we go (which is frequent). Fresh, hot food that is perfectly seasoned. The restaurant is clean and free from clutter. The service is nice, but you cannot be in a rush. The people who work there are friendly and accommodating. Great place... please open a Furaibo in Corona!!”
“Really superb Oaxacan cuisine and seafood at very reasonable prices. We had the banana leaf mole tamale, the house special sea bass, and Tlayuda. All were exceptional.One thing to note: the restaurant name has been removed, so it no longer says, "El Mestizo" on the side of the building. Just "Restaurant", which is behind a tree. This place is hard to spot but worth the effort.p.s. They have menus in English available.”
“Food is good , service was okay , but I forgot my brand name sunglasses and my friend went back next day and the lady had them in a plastic bag for me ! So thank you !!!!”
“Really good mariscos! The portion size of the tostada is massive and you definitely get your money's worth! Friendly people and just a great shrimp tacos as well!”
“The establishment has the right name- TASTY! I had the Won Ton soup, spicy noodles, shrimp fried rice, fish in black bean sauce and bok choy. All were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The only drawback was Grub Hub did not contact me when the delivery was made. Consequently, by the time I discovered the order was here, it was sitting outside my gate with no indication of how long it had been there. The food was cold. I will visit this establishment for sure.”
“The torta Cubana was really good, you get a good bang for your buck! Also tried the tostilocos! Can't recommend it enough! Will definitely go back and try something else from their great variety!”
“Absolutely love going here for a special dinner out. Not only is it my favorite place for shabu shabu, but they also have gluten free sauce options.Kid-friendliness: My seven-year-old loves this place and I've been taking our kids since they were in strollers.”
“Truly some of the best service. The food was incredible. Waitress was super attentive and the hostess was super communicative about our table and shared complimentary champagne while we waited.”
“Super-cute little restaurant with amazing food and friendly service. Sylvia was so welcoming and nice, she recommended every dish that we ordered and we had a great dinner experience. The grilled oysters were spectacular. Thank you so much!”
“The place has a great atmosphere and service the only thing I wish there was more traditionally Mexican food I like Charo beans nopales, chorizo,flour tortillas sopas but over all was great thank ”
“Superb food and awesome service. We ordered Kashmiri dum aloo, Bhindi masala, malai kofta, Sahi paneer saag matar, assorted bread etc- everything came out so tasty. All of us enjoyed the food, drinks and amazing service. Mr. Puri Ali and their team always make it special.”
“Great coffee, great atmosphere, and awesome location. 10/10 recommend Avatar, the owners are so passionate and definitely care about the experience everyone has. Coffee is also fresh and roasted recently.”
“So upset that this restaurant isn't in Uber eats anymore! I used to order from here at LEAST once a week. The BORANI is SO SO GOOD❤️?I miss the food so much, I would pay for a door dash membership just for this place to be there year ”
“About 10 of south Vietnam country-style dishes on the menu. Bun nuoc leo had a light sweet umani flavor, prob msg ;-) bun rieu broth (prob of chicken n pork) was well flavored with hints of seafood n tomato, def different than other surrounding restaurants. Worth a ”
“Came in just for drinks, but then was pleasantly surprised to see 4 different vegan tacos on the menu!Also, they are a FC Barça fan bar, so you can be sure to catch a match on one of their tvs.”
“One of the most classic Vietnamese restaurants I have been to. They have so many great dishes!Highlights of the menu:1. Egg rolls - Chả Giò2. Salt and pepper shrimp - Tôm Rang Muối3. Chicken curry - Cary Gà4. Crispy baked catfish - Cá Nướng5. Deep fried banana with rum flame & vanilla ice cream - Chuối Chiên & kem6. Pennyworth juice - Rau má7. Thai milk tea8. Passion fruit juice”
“4.5/5 starsWow I must say I’m impressed! This place is completely worth the hype. We got the Newport Special lobster ($35/pound), mussels, and Chinese broccoli. The lobster was phenomenal! It was insanely tender, and there were large lobster pieces. The sauce wasn’t as good as other places, but it was still yummy. The mussels were pretty good, but not as fresh/tender. The Chinese broccoli had a little too much oyster sauceI have to say this place probably provides one of best services I’ve ever experienced at an Asian restaurant! The staff was so nice and very quick. They give you plates for the shells, and they clear out the plates very quickly. They refilled the water quickly, and they also boxed our leftovers for us. The check came at the end of the meal at lightening speed.”
“Came for an event and the amount of food and the quality was okay nothing special. Ordered the fish fillet basically something taken from the frozen section triangle fish dipped in batter Frozen and they need to fry it there on site same with the french fries nothing ”
“For my first visit, it was a very pleasant experience. I was seated promptly, and ordering plates was quite easy, despite never having ordered through a web browser before. One staff member did not speak English and one guy was mistaken about the parking validation of 2 hours, its only free for the first hour.They have corn tortillas, but were sold out when I was there; not that I would have ordered any in a KBBQ, but it's a nice accomodation in my opinion.Beers were nice and cold and did not have foam. The meat was also fresh and I sampled some of the seafood selections as well, those were good. The hot sauce was also excellent.”
“Hidden Jem, food was amazing Horchata 10/10 I ordered Mole 10/10 the molcajete seafood mix out of this world. Home-made tortillas made with lots of love.Can't wait to try other plates on the menu. Be mindful that it's a Mexican restaurant it's going to be spicy”
“Ok, To be clear, I'm in Terminal B of the Sacramento Airport. Just loved the Vino Volo Chopped Salad and an amazing Chardonnay. Am I in an airport terminal, or in a great West Coast urban restaurant? So Good! Also, enjoyed talking wine and the good life with the amazing Eric!”
“Haven't been since 2017 but lemme tell you I had to look this place up I went here everyday for 3 weeks and it was an absolute monster for flavor. Salsa was hot as F*** but you can get weak salsa if you dont like spicy. The burritos were LA LEVEL”
“Delicious shakes. Tried the Peanut butter cookie and cinnamon roll. Both 8/10 on flavor Also tried the Protein Waffle with pecans and agave. 10/10 Place is super clean and nice with a solid menu.”
“Wonderful service and food. It was Valentine's and despite the crowds, service was personal and attentive. The tuna rye sandwich and quiche were fresh and delicious as was the creme brulee dessert. Setting and ambience were great for conversation. Highly recommend!”
“A Breakfast Burrito Haven!I cannot recommend Tasty Dish enough! Their breakfast burritos are absolutely to die for, with authentic Mexican American flavors that are consistent with every visit. You can tell that the ingredients are high quality and freshly prepared. Plus, the customer service is always on point - friendly, attentive, and quick. It's so refreshing to find a place that delivers both great food and great service. If you're in the mood for a breakfast burrito (or anything Mexican American, really), do yourself a favor and drop by Tasty Dish. Your taste buds will thank you!”
“Service was great and food was delicious. Super small shop, they do have an eating area. Their menu is very short with no pricing, but if you want something specific, just ask, im sure they'll make it! I ordered a plate of birria and ate in the restaurant and it was delicious! The tortillas are hand made and soooo yummy! It was a bit pricey, but I guess you pay what you get. $19.00 for deliciousness and of course I couldn't finish the whole plate. It pretty much fed two of us as I gave the left overs to my mom for the next morning.”
“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I’ve got to admit, this has to be one of the freshest seafood places I have EVER tasted in Orange County. It’s a must for anyone that is looking for the best tasting and freshest seafood around. Every single time I’m here, the food has never let me down. Highly recommend but come ready to spend with inflation. The plates are full appropriately and the atmosphere is great if you’re looking for a good time. Don’t hesitate and come try them. Try the 7 mares and you WILL NOT be disappointed.”
“Victoria was easy to work with and her cart added so much to our event. The hot dogs were delicious and everyone loved the different dog choices and toppings! I'd definitely use Dogge Depot for an event again.”
“Visited Taco Perron tonight and was very pleased with my decision to check it out. Got pastor tacos, asada tacos, and a carnitas huarache. The meat was good quality and the flavor was really good. Got 3 types of salsa and they were all good the darker green sauce was great on the pastor! CASH ONLY heads up.”
“Found this little boba shop in while I was visiting the nearby apartments. I think they are in soft opening now. They have handcrafted drinks and I tried the fluffy matcha with strawberry and it was delicious! Will definitely be back to try other drinks.”
“Great spot! Portions are very generous and food is delicious! Super close to our office we can walk right there. The staff is always friendly and efficient. Everything is well cleaned and maintained.”
“Good ol' Black Angus, just the way I remember it. Had the Campfire Feast with my wife and two other couples. Lots of choices, we all had steaks and all were tasty and cooked just as requested. 6 nice shrimps in the shared (per couple) shrimp cocktail. The Mud Pie and the Cheese Cake founded out the meal. Kristina was our excellent waitress. She made us feel at home, gave us is plenty of time to make our selections, and helped the meal flow smoothly, with just the right time between courses. The kitchen staff cooked everything as ordered and well timed. We will definitely return!”
“After living in Santa Ana for so many years, I failed to try this place before I left. Oh what a mistake that was! My mom and I gave it a go today and it was one of the best experiences I have had in a Mexican restaurant out here. We had the Molcajete Los Arcos and it was spectacular! Hands down one of the best I've had. We used to drive to SD to have molcajetes in Old Town, but didn't know we could find some in our hometown. The waitress was awesome, the homemade tortillas were awesome, the amount of food in the molcajete was awesome, the salsa was out of this world, and the overall taste was amazing! Please, please, please give your taste buds a thrill and try this place! Will be back for sure!”
“Was around this area and we decided to come eat here. The service was excellent, waitress was very attentive and courteous. We didn't catch her name, but she was on it the whole time we were there. The food was delicious; however, I personally believe that the Agua de Jamaica needs a little more sugar . Overall this place is worth the time and money. Thank you . We will be back :)”
“Food was great, service was immediate and top notch. Food came out quick. Went outside to have some coffee and water afterwards and enjoy the sun and felt very comfortable despite the speeding cars and traffic zooming by. Great patio space. Recommend for lunchtime with co workers and friends when rushed.”
“I was very satisfied with the hefty portion of Buffalo Loaded Fries. Although the taste wasn't anything special, it was still a solid choice to fill up on. I'll be back to try other menu options that seem interesting. The service was fast too. The only downsides were that it was somewhat expensive and the Buffalo sauce upset my stomach.”
“This place is a bit pricey but my family and I love it. My husband like the lomo saltado de bistec, my mom likes el combinado de bistec and I love the chicken inka spacial. Very flavorful. My favorite Peruvian place.”
“I typically hate coming to places with musica because the women servers always have bad attitudes HOWEVER I had a really good first time experience with my family here!! Monica was our server she was very attentive the whole time checking up on our table”
“A great place to shoot pool, meet new friends and enjoy music to dance to. Karaoke night on Tuesday, is a blast. Lots of band nights to bring a date to. I always have a great time. If anyone does come here y'all see me because I'm here almost everyday!”
“The atmosphere when you enter is amazing! The delicious smells and aroma when you enter is unmatched. We waited for an hour however well worth the wait!! Everything was finger licking good and the service was so friendly and welcoming! I can’t recommend enough! I will be back time and time again! I can’t wait to bring my partner!”
“This was my absolute favorite placebetter than any other cajun place I've been tono long waiting lines,amazing food,Service was topnotch!!I am sad to discover it has shut down a couple months ago.Rip Cajun Crawfish Santa AnaYou'll forever be an amazing memory.”
“The fish and shrimp soup is excellent make sure you ask for the (catfish). Definitely will be backParking: Thank you for being in our Santa Ana community and the delicious food . Best of luck . ?️”
“It tastes good, but I don't like that they don't have prices, I don't like asking for everything. I like to know how much I'm going to pay for a piece of toast, 10 or 20 dlls. Parking, a little difficult, you can't eat there standing or in a mud, it's to go or eat in the car.”
“So much fun... been there two for Spanish Rock concerts and it's a small venue... downside only 2 stalls in the women's restroom and it's downstairs in the basement no ventilation it gets very hot and humid... the price for the concerts was very good and I got to see both artists very close, the crowds were fun totally matched my energy.”
“This is my go Wingstop when I'm craving wings. They're always consistent with service and quality of the food. A couple other locations opened closer to where I live, but they don't have it together like this location (yet).Make sure to order ahead so you don't have to wait around too long. It's a small location (like most), so do us all a favor and order ahead.”
“Went here today, my girlfriend and I were very hungry and didn't know where else to go since we're not from around here. We stopped by and saw that they had pizza and tacos, so looked interesting! Their menu consists of pizza, tacos, torpedos, tortas, aguas frescas, pasta, milkshakes, all sorts of things. We settled for pizza and got the "combination" which is another word for supreme. They have different sizes, so we got Large and it was a lot more than I expected, I thought it was X-Large when they brought it over. The lady told me it would be 20 minutes, and it was ready on time, since they make and bake it from scratch and all.Combination has bell peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, pepperoni and Italian sausage. The total came out to $21.85.I like how they take the pizza over to your table, I was not expecting that but Giovanni himself brought it over.Good experience! But the atmosphere was very hot, they have a fan on the ceiling but the restaurant felt like a sauna since they are cooking plenty of pizzas. The workers very nice and friendly and are on it. Definitely recommend to people who are having different cravings for different things!”
“Great service, delicious food we eat dinner our three nights that we spend in Santa Ana and our last night my husband ask for a birthday song and was a super big surprise with a candle, tequila and flower. Unforgettable birthday dinner. Thank you so much”

“Their bbq were okay, I agree with some review saying their meat were small and mostly were fats. I've had bigger meat with the same price. Their other dish was better. Abalone was worth trying, it tasted really good and super spicy. Mala dish was my favorite, the more I ate the more numbing my mouth got.The service was fine in the beginning but later the servers stopped coming over to check up on us. We requested some items and to go boxes, but no one ever returned. Lol.”

“Food is Extremely Delicious! Great Service The Music is Good but it's TOO DAMN LOUD! Can't even talk and enjoy your plate. Keep the music at a decent level where it won't scare customers away.”
“I have had the opportunity to visit a variety of places around the east and west coasts and some in Mexico and in all this time I never thought I would find a place so close to my house with exceptional quality in seafood. There are few places I am really happy to know. this great place with this experience of the atmosphere and treatment today I went to El centenario with my friends and OMG it really is great we arrived and we were greeted at the door by a gorgeous guy wow very friendly and talkative he treated us the best as did the waitress but then I realized that the handsome guy was the chef!!! In no other place that I know do you have the opportunity to interact like this with the kitchen staff and what a staff it is worth highlighting ?so the exquisite food without a doubt my new favorite restaurant, thank you and we will be seeing each other often”
“One of the better Mexican restaurants in Santa Ana, you won't be disappointed. Whatever the cooks have been doing lately, keep doing it - the food has gone from good to great!Chile verde, carnitas, birria...sooo good.”
“Quality of service: the boy who served us was very attentivePleasant atmosphereThe food: excellent, I was surprised by the anticuchos, delicious, delicious, juicy and soft, and the grilled chicken, excellent and ready.I would give them more than 5 stars. I recommend them 100%The best of Santa AnaWe will return without a doubt”
“I had the salmon sandwich with fries. I was completely satisfied with service and food. Hotel amenities and atmosphere (music, lighting, furnishings) are out-dated and dismal, thus the 4 star. Is California in decline?”
“Excellent food, with the authentic flavor, of a warrior,,, it was a great pleasure to know this place,, of the coast...,,Parking: For a small place, it is of great quality”
“Esequiel's service was incredible. We had a little problem with the food but he resolved it quickly. His attitude is very nice and friendly. We will return.”
“This was my second time visiting after an awesome first visit. The food was great, fish was fresh and came quickly. We did the premium menu and the sashimi plus oysters did not disappoint! The staff and manager are the sweetest. Definitely recommend!”
“Not bad for a compa bar, I didn't feel like I was gonna get stabbed, which is good for a place like this. The bartender was friendly, as well as all the staff. Beer are like 6 or 7 bucks I can't remember. Good times!”
“I was invited by my neighbor for lunch and fell in love with their fine food and service at first visit. Chicken kabobs is best in town. Definitely will visit again. Highly recommend.”
“The food is very delicious, it's a shame that sometimes there is a skinny waitress who walks around as if she had been scolded, very serious, with an unfriendly face, without friendliness”
“I've been dining with Morton's for a while and it's usually for special occasions (graduations, Christmas, birthday's) So this past Easter was no exception. I made reservations, Which was super easy and they had my top time choice available. It helps when you make it early. We were greeted warmly at the door and seated right away. The environment was warm and inviting, not too loud even though they were busy. I never felt rushed and I never felt like I was waiting for service. We started off with cocktails and the bacon wrapped scallops, which are always delicious. Morton's bread is unique and tasty. I dream about their wedge salad that always comes out so cold and crisp. The cajun ribeye is always cooked to perfection. We also tried the truffle creamed corn, that's new to the menu and wow, fantastic. I ended our meal with coffee and it was so delicious. Thank you to the staff and management for checking on us and making sure we had a wonderful Easter. It was so great that I was back a week later! No special occasion needed!!”
“My family is big on barbacoa, myself on the other hand not so much... however they were able to satisfy their craving while I ordered the chilaquiles con carne. Very, delicious!”
“We went there on a Sunday night when it was raining. We sat outside under the cover patio with the heaters. We were very comfortable. Enjoyed watching the sunset. We were there to celebrate a few April birthdays. The service was very good. The food was good. We had the prime rib. Yum! The staff was friendly. It is sad to see so many bad reviews. Watching the customers that were there, it looked like they were all having a good time. Yes, the restaurants can do a few improvements. Overall, it is good place to go grab dinner at. Especially at sunset. As mentioned before, handicap parking is at a lower level. We got there 10 mins before they opened. They did not have valet parking. Looking around it is a small parking lot. So, you can see why on their busier nights, they have to do valet parking.”
“I love this place. I have been visiting them for years. The bar area is set up perfectly for your night out with your friends. The only thing they need is to renovate the bathrooms ? other than that. They are one of my favorite places to visit in orange county.”
“vegan friendly As I walk around the terminal in hopes of finding some Green Juice (i'm trying out the vegeterian diet), I found this market. I was quickly disappointed they didn't have any Green Juices but found a smoothie pouch! I've never seen them so I grabbed three. - Noka Superfood Smoothie : $3.75 each Service was great. Everything was filled and the employee in the back were packaging up the sand-whichs!”
“Awesome sports bar, great vibe and decor. Drinks are decently priced and a good alcohol to mixer ratio. LOTS of TVs with sports everywhere! Plenty of games and things to entertain, good for groups.”

“I love it when Araceli is my server! She's always so friendly, professional, and has a smile on her face. Even when it's crazy busy, like this Sunday morning, she still took great care of us and all the other tables. I asked for a to-go box while she was juggling other customers, and she dropped everything to grab it for me. Very impressive! Araceli is the best.”
“For a McDonald's, the filet o fish, though smaller now than before was good. The McNuggets were not that fresh but the fries were okay. And it was a new remodel so it feels nice. Across from gate 14.”

“Food 5*Vibe 3*Service 5*Dont judge based on the restaurants interior location. this is by far THE BEST Pakistani Restaurant in Southern California.Their Karahi chicken, grilled meats, and garlic naan combo is legendary and a MUST try. There is a bit of spice to it, but nothing a glass of Mango lassi cant take care of.”
“I think this place is delicious. Very high quality and fresh fish. My personal favorite were the jalapeño roll and Santa Ana hand roll. I also had some of there sashimi and it was very delicious. Super fresh and they use ponzu sauce on a lot of there dishes and it's delicious. I would definitely come back. Also the service was 10/10 very quick very and very sweet. It's a small hole in the wall in a shopping center and I definitely plan on coming back.”
“10/10 - highly recommend. I used Mediterranean Guys for a event I needed catered. I ordered food for 25 for pickup. The two times I called the restaurant I got knowledgeable, friendly people who was able to answer my questions right away. The food was ready when I needed it, all extras were included (plates, utensils, etc), and all staff I worked with were pleasant and very helpful - they gave you the sense that they were on top of things and you could trust them to get your order right. The guests at my event kept complimenting the food - everything was excellent. Thank you Mediterranean Guys!”
“The lunch special here was really good. The meat was good, the small sides were good, and the drinks were good. However, one of our server guy was kind of slow. But the other server guy was much faster. So if you come here and one of the server guy is kind of slow, you know who I’m taking about.”
“Frequenting this spot for sandwiches, my success rate stands at 3 out of 4 - pretty good odds! Hot stuff is my usual choice, and nothing beats the delight of the chicken pesto, my absolute favorite.”

“I got a Torta of Carne Asada (a beef sandwish). It was super tasty. They accept Zelle and Cash. They have some stools outside to wait for your food or eat there. Given that the truck is on a side-road, you can easily park close to it.Superb place!Parking: The place is close to a residential area, so you can easily find parking anywhere closeby”
“NK's recipes are carefully balanced with unique sauces. Near Anduril, it is our go-to late night place. Try everything. Great bowls and bao. Simple menu. You must try it out.”
“The food is very good, but the waitresses took 15 minutes just to take our drink order, in the end the waitress followed us to the car to ask us for a tip even though they took a long time to serve us and take our orders.”

“Best Indian food I’ve had in the area. Edward is passionate and knowledgeable about his food and the prices are excellent. I only wish they added salty lassi to the drink menu. But I suppose mango lassi covers most people’s wishes ;)”
“I came here during restaurant week. It was my first time trying this place. The people were helpful. It was easy to place an order and got the food quickly. Would definitely recommend this place. I like how they have a wide variety of drinks. They also have a good selection of sauces. I usually tend to park in the parking structure and the then just crossed the street to Hammer Burger. They do have happy hour too!”
“Excellent business, I would give this business 10 stars, because they have a variety of refreshing drinks and desserts, my favorite drink is the Mystic Mermaid, I recommend it.Pedro, and Justin, and their family are very friendly, and provide excellent customer service.The decoration of the place is very beautiful, and it is always impeccable, as for its cleanliness, I love this place.Kid-friendliness: There are drinks for children”

“I called when the shop already closed and the baker told me to call back after 30mins so he can clean up a bit. The service is on top tier he said that he tried to read the phone manual just to find my phone number. How sweet he is. I dont know about cake sizes so I said i want 8" for 6people and he stop me and told me i should get 6' instead since 8' is too big. I surprised, every business try to up sale but they only want the best for their customers. Huge respect and the strawberry shortcake.... Chef kiss do i have to explain more? Go get the dam cake”

“I ordered some food to go. Got the souvlaki mix which comes with chicken and steak skewers. Both were very good. Also added some pilaf rice which was very tasty. The hummuspita bread and salad was a nice touch. Service is always friendly here and i never had a bad meal here. If you haven't tried this place i highly recommend you do..”
“I go here with my love, all the time! The food is always fresh, always delicious, never had an issue here. Customer service isn't the best as far as in-n-out service goes, but that's ok, because they also don't act rude, it's more just that it's always packed and they're just busy.”
“A great Dennys location. Food tasted better than the average Dennys. I got the Wild Alaskan Salmon dish with rice and broccoli as my sides, and some avocado. Wait time for the food was a bit longer than expected, but totally worth it once I started eating. One of the few times I leave the plate completely empty. Restrooms are clean, they have a number pad but it wasn’t active during my visit so I could walk right in. Staff are very friendly, in particular Aldo was a perfect waiter, checked in on us and made suggestions as needed. We would definitely come here again.”
“Great service. Great food, especially if you're new to vegan. I think most meat eaters could eat one of their burgers and not realize it isn't meat as well as enjoy the flavors.”
“Staff made my family and I feel extremely welcome. They wanted to make sure we had a great experience and we definitely did! Host helped us take a photo since they weren't busy when we went. Once they realized my family members were more comfortable speaking Spanish, they made an effort to speak it to them as well. Overall very lovely, and I'd go to this location again”
“Veronica was an amazing person. Always making sure we had and like our food.Dietary restrictions: Live the way they ask how you prefer your food and also recommend you various options.Parking: Plenty of parking space.”
“Food is good but not great. Service is rather quick or keeps moving despite long lines. Generally service is good. Drive thru is ok for full size trucks. There is an outdoor eating area and a couple nice nook type places to sit inside. There is a disco ball inside the ceiling. Doesn't do much but is kinda cool.Kid-friendliness: Have kids meals on the menu and the price is lower than regular combos”
“DELICIOUS!!! I'm from NC, so we don't have this great place to enjoy. I got a single cheeseburger with fries and a lemonade. All were very good!#hamburger#restaurant#cheeseburgerParking: Plenty of parking and it's free”
“Just left and Santo was the best waiter we could ever have! The best service and great charisma. I would honestly come back and ask for the same waiter. My family and I loved him very much!”

“second time coming here. king eel sushi bento is located in a strip mall. initially visit i was in the area and stumbled upon this place. unassuming from the outside but the quality of food is fresh and made with care. they have ramen, sushi and rolls, rice bowls and combination bento. many roll options. as name suggest they specialize in Unagi/ bbq eel bowls and rolls. price is very reasonable. inside is simple with a few high top tables. the chef and the lady working the cashier are very friendly and welcoming. i'll be back next time i'm in the area”
“Trung Nguyen E-Coffee is hands down one of my top spots for coffee. Whether I'm opting for the refreshing soursop tea or indulging in their iced white (bac xiu), I'm always delighted. The ambiance of the place is pleasant and tidy, providing a welcoming atmosphere. Service here is quick and delivered with a friendly smile, making each visit a pleasure. And let's not forget about their Banh Mi Que, a perfect complement to the drinks. It offers a tantalizing hint of spice that adds an extra layer of flavor to the overall experience. Simply delicious!”
“It's close late which is good things bc sometime I'm craving and this spot still open, I got chamoy mango. It's ok. I'm not impressed My husband got Amazon bowl. I have a bite and didn't ask for more, The place is clean. Maybe I will try something else next time.”
