Very cool place! The bartenders were great and it was a nice chill environment to have a drink and get out of the heat of southern california. I forgot to check out their merch section but they had so many offerings I was upset I didn't at least buy a t shirt!

I’m not a drinker and I didn’t drink a sip of beer here but their virgin drinks are not bad. They have good vibes, free wifi (working and pretty fast). They don’t have food. The taco truck would come around 6pm.Parking was not easy to find. There was a city garage that’s free for an hour but an hour is not enough for this type of restaurant. I was lucky enough to get a spot on the street where they HAVE NOT installed meters, but they seem to be doing it soon.

Best brewery in dtsa! All the bartenders are friendly and they have a great selection of drinks. Karaoke night on Thursdays is always a fun time!

I know there are a bunch of amazing places in Downtown Santa Ana, but I just don't ever go. Everything is so close, but it seems so far for us lazy OC people. Anyhow, I was dropping my buddy off at the train station (it is a mess down there with the rail) and decided to try the highest rated Santa Ana brewery. The building is old and low profile from outside, but it is beautiful old world OC on the inside. Not really sure what year the building is from, but 1900 or so. The bartenders were super friendly and enjoyable to talk too. The beer was pretty good for only being 3 years old. I am an IPA guy (they hopefully have a west coast soon) and tried the New England IPA and the Stout. The IPA was good and the Stout was awesome. They have a food truck they own outside and it was really good, mostly seafood and priced well. Prices were great too! The owners are the people who started Suavecito, which I love and love the logo. The shirts are awesome and have the same great design as the hair gel (might have influenced my review). I will be back this weekend with my dog!! Thanks guys!

Came here with some friends for the first time and we had so much fun! Really chill vibe with fun games and drinks. It's a really nice social setting where it sets the mood for catching up with friends or get to know some new friends. We had a really great time. Staff was extremely friendly and brought water to the tables. We also tried Saborcito, which was a really good food truck that was directly outside of the restaurant. The Al pastor tacos and the carne asada tacos were really good. I recommend those. The staff in the food truck was really welcoming and friendly.

This place always hits the spot! After a stressful day at work, a nice cold IPA with a chile rim! *cholo whistles* lol Fun games and a bomb food truck. This is a great place to come for a good vibe and food. I'm very grateful that Cerveza Cito is nearby.

Food & Beer are always a great choice here. I'm discounting a star due to inventory (or lack thereof). I have been asking almost about a year for their 32oz black growler, and every time I ask. They are waiting for a shipment. I was trying to gift it to a friend and that's since passed. I have now settled to purchase the bigger 64oz growler but now their website won't let me make a purchase. Love this place but the fact that I can't purchase anything is really a let down.

Their new Toxica beer is great... Great atmosphere. Can go with your doggie. Food truck available.

The vibe is super chill. I've been here a few times, and the energy never disappoints. It's a sit your own place, menus are everywhere, you come up to the register to order. There is a parking walking distance. After 5 pm, you get 2 hr parking for free. Brewery is located in the heart of downtown Santa Ana. I'm not much of a beer person. Therefore, I can not critique it. Presentation is spot on, just how you see it on the photos chile rim and beer or slushi mixed drink. My friend and I tried their Mango Vegan Michelada with a Lager beer (im not sure of the name), and we were fans. 3/5, again, I'm not a beer person. So I am not allowed to judge. However, they do have a variety of selections. What we really came for the food. They have a lunch truck out. (Not sure if it is related to Cerveza cito. Guys, the food is delicious! We tried the Carne Asada fries and the Aguachiles. Bomb.com!!!! 10/10. Did not disappoint.
Nice place, good vibes and music, just not a good thing they run out of 4 beers out of their menu. It's a holiday weekend. But it's a good vibes places. I just can't stand they wanna sell asta el molcajete . Eveytrhing in their lobby is for saleBut nice that it's a Santa Ana native brand .. support

So glad I was able to check out Cerveza Cito!! I never knew there was such a cool brewery with delicious food right in the heart of downtown Santa Ana. I got flights of their most popular or new beers and michelada mixes. The lime michelada slush was also good! If you like lighter beers like me, I really recommend their guava michelada or firme lager. There's so many other options to try from tho. Not only that but their food truck outside serves delicious seafood tacos!! They have ceviche, tortas, empanadas, fries, and more. My favorites were the sea marlin and battered shrimp tacos. There's plenty of seating here and the service was great. But there can be a bit of a wait since you order at the counter and get all the drinks for you there. I went on a Saturday night and was able to find street parking around the area.

Outstanding beer selection at a very reasonable price. Full disclosure I only had a beer sampler and not any of the food, but the Cito beverages I did try were delicious and the person who served me took care to make sure that I was served quickly and that she had recommendations in mind that were in line with what types of drinks I was most interested in tasting. Highly recommend this place for people who want a chill vibe and to taste a number of beers at a very affordable price

This place is amazing! Love the decor and the vibes. I got the michelada flight which came with your choice of 4 flavors and a pitcher of michelada. They do charge extra for the chamoy rims on the cups so just be careful on that. They offer board games so perfect for a hang out spot. If you get hungry they have a food truck outside, which you can bring the food inside.

Good beer. Cute taproom. Friendly service. Cool merchandise. Definitely stop by and have a beer or two.
