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.

Great place to have fun, friendly staff and crowd, very clean, and the atmosphere is fun and sexy as well as GoGo boys. Ownership very caring actually took the time to stop by our table and say hi. They had a travesti show, which was fun and entertaining. Overall a great place.

A very small place.Now three times they are lucky enough to have me as a client.When the tribute to Luis Miguel;It was good, they play rock in Spanish, pop, cumbias, salsa, bachata, a little bit of everything.When I pay tribute to Caiphans;It got good. The DJ doesn't seem to come out of the same.When he was lazy and Co.They took it away...The advantage of that congal!, that since it is small,; You don't have the artist that far away...But the bad thing is that if it is filled, it is heated only by human heat.Even the walls were sweating. (It's not complaining), you don't have to be rude either. You can't do everything in life.And there is the humility of the lazy person. I can't stand it. He just told a little joke and said: look! Even the walls are sweating!But it was worth seeing..... And he continued playing without complaining about anything.Of course... He ended up bathing in sweat.How cool. *does not lose humility*Haaaaa. That fucking DJ doesn't come out the same.So much music and it plays the same thing...No mom........sss

My review is based on the experience me and my friends had last night.This is the worst place I’ve ever been and I’m being specific to the lower lever. The place was extremely overcrowded no ventilation it was hard to breathe walking around was a mission the place fell unsafe. The securities were rude I will never on my life attend an event in this venue even if I was paid for it. It was so hot inside you could see the walls sweating and leaking all the humidity and sweat from all the attendees. On my video you can see the artist completely wet like if he was under the rain.Horrible the worst venue ever.

La Santa is in a basement of a bar and I'm a fan of small clubs/venues as I think the vibe is way better, but this one gives me a little anxiety because there's only two ways out and that's up the stairs. There's no windows and no doors down there, but once you start drinking and focusing on the stage the anxiety tapers off after a while. It's in the heart of downtown so there's literally tons of bars and restaurants surrounding this venue. I've seen rapper Sugar Free perform here, reggae legend Keith of Keith & Tex (Tex got stuck at immigration in Canada) and recently saw New Zealand's very own Jonathan Bree perform here. Jonathan Bree's performance here was definitely in my top 5 concerts I've been to in my life and this venue had a lot to do with it. Parking is all 'effed up right now in Downtown, but look for a meter along French St. and walk literally across the street to the front door. There's also parking structures on 3rd and 5th st which are a short walk. DO NOT PARK IN THE SHOPPING CENTER! YOU WILL GET TOWED. I'm a local and for 5 minutes I thought, "I could totally park at McDonalds or in front of Smart & Final," but the lady that was handing out wristbands specifically said if you're parked there you will get towed, people are watching. This town makes its money off of parking tickets so I believe her. Also, if you're ever in Downtown Santa Ana for an event, make sure your meter is paid up and you're in a legal parking spot because I see it every time, cops/city parking patrol is OUT at all hours of the night writing tickets. La Santa isn't crazy fancy but it is historic and the basement venue is a vibe. If you see an artist is playing here or a club is happening here, definitely go.

First time here. Had a great time. My wife and I were early for the Rock de Muertos show. Waited outside, talked with the security guys, (Yogi) who were real cool and professional. The manager, I didn't get his name, (but wore Orange Nikes) greeted us and said we would let us in early while the band set up. Yogi took us to the bar and took care of our first drink. Thanks man. We got a table up front near the stage. Perfect. Dj played good music until MODULO came on and the place was jumping. Good vibe all around. Bartender was really good. Fun crowd dancing to spanish rock. We definitely look forward to coming back here to catch other bands.

Cool hipster downtown Santa Ana vibe. Fun place to go every now and then.

Pretty solid place. Drinks are good. Vibe is good. No fights or rachet people. You know? Just good all around.

It was small place with no ventilation but overall for the event we attended it was decent. Who would have known goth and cumbias would go together yet somehow they do.
Came here this past weekend with my boyfriend to see Combichrist. We had VIP seating/booths, and enjoyed our visit to La Santa. The staff was generous/respectful, no issues or complaints there. Bathrooms were clean and stocked with toilet paper/hand soap. Place had AC/ventilation, or at least where we were in the booths :)If bands you like book their gigs here, definitely come check this place out. The only issue we faced when arriving/looking for the place was parking. Very limited parking in the lot across the street, and there is street time restricted metered parking. We lucked out after circling the place 4 times and found a metered parking spot that was close to the cut off time so we through in a few quarters just in case..and ended up leaving the club before the time restriction would come on again (2am) All in all, a great experience.

Good sound system, good vibes, good purple. I believe one of coolest things about the place is there is basically no cell service inside, so everyone is living in the moment instead of playing with the phone!

Yesterday my daughters wanted to see Ralfy the plug, at La Santa. Last time we're in Santa Anna, we saw Drakeo theRuler, that was in 2021. So we were not going to miss the opportunity to see Ralfie. Thank you La Santa for making this such a memorable positive experience. Back in my day I remember seeing concerts at locations like this before The musicians and artists hit big time. This brought back a lot of memories. I love the bar, the lights, the stage, the ambience, perfectly done. Thank you again.

Great music, great sound, huge screen that plays the videos of songs played, clean place and good crown. Nothing but good vibes. Saw Zinórbita, Tribute to Heroes del Silencio. It was fantastic
