50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Santa Ana

“Eileen was very helpful and responsive. She gave us her recommendations, was very kind. The store itself was really clean, including their bathroom. We ordered takeout but came out fresh and fast!! The mozzarella sticks are back and awesome!“

“I’ve been to a lot of boba shops, and this is one of the few that keeps me coming back. The drinks are consistently good, the prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes, and the staff always go out of their way to be helpful and accommodating.

What really stands out is how willing they are to customize drinks. Every time I’ve had a special request or wanted to tweak an order, they’ve been happy to help. That level of customer service is becoming harder to find and makes a big difference.

Prices are great! The Thai Tea Blossom was great and tapioca is always on par. The Vietnamese coffee with the Thai tea is my favorite. The ingredients taste fresh, the boba has great texture, and the drinks are made with care.

More than anything, this place feels like a business that genuinely values its customers. Great drinks, fair prices, and friendly people. It’s become my go-to boba spot, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a local place to support.“

“Literally just popped in a few minutes ago, Sara made the best Findi Signature w/ light ice I've ever had 🥹😭🙏🏽
Had a rough day so I really needed this, deadass making this spot a priority from now on 🔥💯✨️“

“Great spot for pho and noodles. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and everything tastes fresh. The broth is rich and flavorful you can tell it’s been cooking for hours.

The staff is friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Definitely recommend trying the garlic noodles and the spring rolls they’re a perfect combo.

Overall, really good food, good value, and a place I’d come back to again.“

“A tasty vegan burger, every time. Good people run this place. They have good hearts. They are advocates. For people as much as for animals. They serve tasty vegan fast food. They have excellent and consistent quality. But for some reason they aren't ever incredibly busy when I come. I want them to be. Businesses like this should succeed. 

In the mood for a burger? Come here. #GoVegan“

“Excellent sandwich shop. Everything on the menu is vegan. Subs only, but they come freshly pressed and warm on delicious bread with nice veggies/arugula/toppings. Satisfies cravings for sure! Indoor ambience pretty bland but nice outdoor tables. Usually not crowded - come support this great place! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-06“

“Kebab Kurry Express is one of my new favorite go to restaurants. If you're looking for delicious flavors and meats, this place hits the spot. The workers are also very friendly, and there's some seating outside.

The Chapli Kebab was delicious, flavorful ground beef patties served over some good rice and salad that was also tasty. The chicken platter was just as impressive, with tender, moist chicken that was served on some pita alongside hummus, salad, and fries (these were really good too!).

Pro Tip: Do not skip the Chapli Kebab! It was recommended by one of the workers, and she didn't lead me a stray.“

“we are from Alaska so we maybe fresh fish snobs... but this was absolutely delish, fast, and priced great. highly recommend so glad we stumbled upon ot!“

“The best in Santa Ana . Deliciosas carnitas el sabor es unico“

“I was in Anaheim on vacation and ended up spending a majority of my vacation money here. Lol most days I woke up early just to go here and fill a box full of pastries for me and my family to share, it was that good!! Can not wait to go back! Maybe ill just plan a trip back just to go here 🤔“

“This place is so nice. We brought our own bag of chips and they loaded the chips for us. The guy in front Jermaine was a super nice guy. Helped us with anything we needed and had really good conversation. Great place! 100% will be going back food was so good.“

“Service was amazing!!!! Shout out to Alexis the best sever in the WORLD!! Checked up on the table a couple of time to get us what ever we needed. 10/10 service!!!!! AND FREE REFILL!!!!! Our chef Nick was OUT OF THIS WORLD with all his jokes and games, he even GAVE US EXTRA GARLIC BUTTER. In conclusion this was a 10/10 experience 10/10 service and I haven’t talked about the food yet!!!!!! A must if you are in the area.“

“Ordered Marco's Pizza again recently for a movie night at home and it ended up being perfect. The pizza came out hot, cheesy, and loaded with toppings, and the crust had a really good flavor to it. We also grabbed some cheesy bread on the side and it disappeared way faster then expected.

The staff was friendly when we picked up the order and everything was ready right on time. It’s honestly become one of those reliable spots we keep going back to because the food is always consistant and hits the spot every time. Definitely one of our favorite pizza places around lately.“

“They clearly take tremendous pleasure in their store and merchandise. The Italian grinder and the pastrami on a baguette that we had were both excellent. We'll definitely start stopping here frequently on our way to the beach to pick up sandwiches.“

“Moc Kitchen never disappoints! The pho is flavorful, the fried rice is delicious, and the egg rolls are always crispy and fresh. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and plenty of parking. Everything feels clean, welcoming, and well taken care of. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Santa Ana and a place I always recommend to friends and family.“

“Karaoke Thursday!!! Everyone there is so friendly and accommodating. I celebrated my birthday there and had the best time! Oh and we played trivia too and my team won!“

“My favorite pizza spot! I've been coming here since I moved over to downtown Santa Ana. I am nothing but blown away by the amazing food and the amazing customer service. Thank you to the Santos team for always making my experience a great one with your welcoming atmosphere.“

“Best food ever. They make the best beans and the best guacamole.“

“This is one the best spots in Santa Ana to grab specialty coffee. Great staff, great coffee, and great ambiance!“

“Was craving for this pizza so stopped by and got a whole pie of 1/2 white & 1/2 pepperoni/pineapple. Parking is okey, paid meter street parking nearby and walked over. It's hot day so few chairs & tables were put outside. Still same old, clean, smell delish with plenty of pics on the wall. Great service from staff. Couldn't waited therefore ate 1/2 of the pizza w/ my kid there. Just YUM!
All the good old memories came back. Can't wait til next time.“

“I absolutely love Kiazen Shabu! The food here is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and rich, flavorful broths that make every bite memorable. The owner and the entire team are incredibly friendly, always making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I especially appreciate how the owner often offers free alcohol to customers, adding that extra touch of hospitality. I first visited when they first opened a few years ago, and at that time, it wasn’t too busy. But with the incredible food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere, it’s no surprise that Kiazen Shabu has become so popular. Now, it's always packed, so be prepared to wait, especially on weekends and during dinner hours – but trust me, it's worth it! I highly recommend trying most of their dishes; you won’t be disappointed. Kiazen Shabu is a must-visit for anyone who loves delicious food and top-notch service!“

“The only reason the atmosphere got 4/5, was bc it is not big enough, lol. I wish there was more room, I would have invited my entire cohort of colleagues from work. 1.) Cold brew - super yummy, not bitter at all, which is a plus. 2.) Watermelon donut w/ sprinkles - I got this for my kiddo, and she is quite picky at times, but she adored this.“

“We had such a great experience! I ordered the chicken enchiladas, and my friend had the chicken enchiladas Michoacanas. Both dishes were full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and served fresh. We also had two margarita flights, and every flavor was delicious. The food, drinks, and overall experience were excellent. And our server Vanessa did an amazing job she was so attentive.“

“delicious 😋 la mejor 💯 %..“

“I don’t normally review places because I like to see and experience things for myself instead of read reviews that tend to be biased but I had to take a moment to sit down and let everyone know my thoughts on this coffee shop.

I came in this Wednesday morning.

First of all, as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by everyone on staff and I noticed that I wasn’t the only one being greeted that way. Each time someone walked in… they were greeted and welcomed in. Even while they had a line and were busy. That is not the norm nowadays and they deserve a shout out for that.

to add to the first point, this didn’t feel like just a transaction, the person on register (bangs & glasses, I didn’t get her name) asked about my day and was curious to know what I did for work. This is how you build a relationship with your customers and keep them coming back (a lesson to be taught to surrounding shops in the area)

While I was waiting for my drink I noticed that they host monthly markets and had a community wall, that’s always a plus to see. I definitely see myself attending one of their markets or workshops.

Although they had a lot of drinks to choose from, I got a simple iced oat milk latte that was incredible, there’s always room to mess up a simple drink like that and I appreciate the level of detail that comes with perfecting a drink as simple as that.

Thank you Cafe Cito for the great experience & for giving me a solid start to my day. You’ll be seeing me again!“

“Freshly brewed teas in a minimalistic setting. Drinks were rich, and not too sweet, which I greatly enjoyed. Great grab & go place!“

“Favorite spot on the West Coast!“

“Pretty good soup/noodles. Noodles were bouncy and good amount of chew. The broth was good and very comfy. Portion sizes were on the smaller side, but I left very satisfied. The liangpi was also really good. The chili sauce was the weakest part of the liangpi but still good overall.“

“What a great surprise!

The owner was incredibly generous and let us try several different beers before we decided what to order. The tasting pours were much bigger than expected, and the prices were very reasonable.

If you get hungry, don’t skip the sushi. The locals told us it’s the best sushi around, so we had to give it a try—and they were absolutely right. Everything was fresh, delicious, and paired perfectly with the beer.

Friendly service, great craft beer, excellent food, and a relaxed atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This is the best tacos in OC! Love the quesobirria tacos! My kids love it here 😋😋😋 please check it out you will not be disappointed ☺️“

“there food is really good especially there keto tacos...people you should try and eat there food here I promise you that you kept regret it“

“We loved the decorations, it really felt like you were south of the border. Great food and service and all the staff was really friendly.“

“I absolutely LOVE this place! It’s kind of a RARE GEM I would say, because it’s hidden off of a smaller residential Street, called standard, and Edinger, which is a main street but it’s tucked in the corner behind the gas station. For many visits, all I ordered were the Birria & queso Birria tacos with their delicious consome.. THEN, I started trying all their other things like the huaraches and more and honestly, their menu is so vast and so many options and everything is delicious. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything to be honest!

And they make homemade Agua Fresca’s and I feel like it’s only a little bit of sugar and they’re so good. You guys can’t get your meal without one!

This is a cool little hole in the wall, but nice hole in the wall just meaning it’s a small restaurant, but they have tables and boots so you can come sit down.. it’s a great date night spot also!

Evelia is the manager I believe and she is so awesome! She gives great service and she’s so sweet, thank you for the great food & service! 👏 #☝️🌮“

“Good Friends - Good Food - Live Music - I’m in!!!“

“Great place for drinks bartender was awesome and super nice. Great beer selection and great music too“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Me and my gf came across their truck in Anaheim off Euclid and ball. Spotted them a few times before but never got to stop for some churros. Finally tried them out and it was delicious! The guy working was so kind and gave us a free sample of churros with some dip😁“

“Una de las mejores comidas 👍🏻👍🏻“

“La comida es deliciosa y el servicio estupendo“

“This place is outstanding!! We got dinner here and didnt know what to expect. It was fire! Way better then expected. Unique and fresh take.“

“Walked into this family-owned sub shop and was extremely delighted with my experience. The service was quick and the owners were very nice. Great option to for a quick meal.

The Philly steak was great and I will definitely be coming back when I’m in the area.“

“riquisimos y bien servidos Los mariscos, casi no le ponen verduras, es lo mejor..“

“Definitely the chicken. I like the choices of sides too. I have to try the rest. I hope we get one in our area, Cypress or Cerritos.“

“Unos tacos deliciosos y el que atiende muy buen servicio“

“I tried the Matcha Mango at Movita Juice Bar, and it was excellent. It’s made with fresh almond milk (prepared daily), matcha, banana, protein, and organic agave. The flavor was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and you can really taste how fresh and healthy the ingredients are. A great pick-me-up that feels good to drink.“

“Loved drinking beer out of a boot! Brats and fries were awesome.“

“Stopped by here yesterday while doing a taco taste challenge with a friend. I've been wanting to stop by here for a long time because I often hear that this place is what Santa Ana is known for.to start, this place is not fancy. It gives you the vibe that you are actually south of the border and that's ok. No real AC, food was decent and very good prices. All transactions are in cash so its very affordable. Staff were friendly and professional. What impressed me the most was that if you were really hampering for a taco, this place has the best prices against all other places in Santa Ana. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.“

“Late Night Pizza in Santa Ana is absolutely amazing! The owner is from Argentina and is genuinely one of the sweetest, most welcoming people you’ll meet. You can tell he truly cares about his customers, his business, and the quality of every pizza he makes.

He’s been making pizza for over 25 years, and it absolutely shows. The pizza tastes authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. The sauce is seriously the bomb—slightly sweet, perfectly balanced, and honestly one of the best pizza sauces I’ve had.

The service, the quality, and the passion behind this place make it special. You can tell this isn’t just a business to him—he really takes pride in what he does.

One important tip: order early! He gets extremely busy, and once you try the pizza, you’ll understand why.

You HAVE to try Late Night Pizza. Seriously, you have to. 🍕🔥“
