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.“

“As it says in the name, it's a nice burger! We stopped in on our way back to the airport, and it was really nice to be able to get a tasty vegan burger! My husband and I both got their fried chicken sandwiches, and I got fries with mine. The fries were just okay, but the sandwich was tasty and satisfying for both of us. The location was clean and well kept when we were there, and as we were there between lunch and dinner, there weren't many other diners, so that was pleasant. The workers are friendly but not super interactive (you order via kiosk), so that can be a plus if you're not feeling chatty. It's not the most convenient location for non-locals (it would be so nice to have this within walking distance of Disneyland or other area attractions for tourists/visitors like us), but I imagine it's great for the local folks. We were in the area for my husband's work conference, and we don't travel to this area for much else, so I don't anticipate being back, but if we do, I would probably try to work in a stop here. It was pretty good!“

“It was my first time trying this place and wow I was impressed! It's hard to find a good sandwich shop without animal products and this was so well done. I got the pesto sando this time and will absolutely be back to try more. Seth was very kind and welcoming. Excellent service.“

“The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Everything was served very quickly, which we really appreciated. The tacos were especially good—full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Overall, a great experience and definitely a place I would come back to.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing! I got the combo kebab plate with chapli & lamb. The chapli was so amazing. The lamb was also perfectly cooked which is hard to come by. Usually the salad that comes with these combos is just ehhh but I actually liked this one. It came with a spicy, cilantro-ey dressing that was delicious. I ended up pouring over my rice as well. Would recommend.“

“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 🤔“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️ Best Bread and Doughnuts in Santa Ana“

“Loosies Pizza is a hidden gem that can be found in the heart of downtown Santa Ana. When I say hidden, there is no visible signage identifying the restaurant so you'll want to lookout for the address or the A frame sign on the sidewalk out front. We showed up late on a Saturday night, and I was stoked to try a slice of their Pepperoni Loosie and their Slime Loosie. I was blown away by how thin and crispy their crust was, and both slices were greasy, delicious and left me wanting more. Depending on when you visit, there may be a wait. FYI - seating is limited as they only have a few tables inside and out front but if you like NY style pizza, then you need to check out what the hype is all about!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This cute little cafe is such a vibe, it’s located in the corner of a little street at the end of Downtown Santa Ana where you can just sit outside by a shady tree and take in the ambience while enjoying one of their many delicious drinks, paired off with a warm baked treat! BUT what really got me and keeps me coming back again is their amazing barista Jehieli, she always greats her customers with such a genuine smile and her soft spoken attitude adds to the gentle atmosphere of the place. Thank you Jehieli for making my mornings something to look forward to now! And thank you Cito, too!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Andrew and Victoria took good care of me. They are really hard working, professional, and nice to all customers. The coffee and other drinks were made with love and delicious flavors. I also had the chance to meet the owner towards the later afternoon hours. His name is Mr. Henry. He is an accomplished businessman and operates this location with his daughter. It is obvious how much he loves her and respects her intelligence. I wish everyone who I met continued health and positivity.“

“Tried for the first time this gem of a restaurant for authentic Mexican cuisine here at downtown Santa Ana. We sat outside with our dog and we’re greeted by our server Vanessa, lovely lady that made us feel so welcome. She’s gregarious and amiable enough to accommodate our search for the right food on the menu. Started with the watermelon margarita with guacamole chips and salsa. For our main menu, we end up with their mole and the fish dish so tender and delicious. Overall the place is such a rare find and wouldn’t mind coming back here again.“

“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.“

“Stopped by for a beer and had a great experience. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, everyone from the staff to the other customers was friendly and easygoing.

They had the game playing in both the front and back rooms. They also had a food vendor on-site, which was a nice. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot whether you’re looking to catch up with friends or just grab a solo pint.“

“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 ☺️“

“delicious 😋 la mejor 💯 %..“

“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!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tapatia Taqueria #2 deserves all five stars!
If you’re looking for authentic flavor, generous portions, and true quality, this is the spot. Their tortas are hands-down the best in all of Orange County—packed, flavorful, and made with real care. The burritos are loaded with meat, not just filler, and every bite is worth it. And don’t sleep on the quesadillas—they’re stacked with meat and melted cheese, the way they’re supposed to be.
The service is quick, the food is fresh, and everything tastes like it was made with pride. Highly recommend this place to anyone craving real Mexican food done right!“

“Always love coming out West from the East coast and making our first stop to In-N-Out Burger!“

“Great food!!!! we had churo French toast combo. 😋😍yummy“

“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“

“finally made it to this Santa Ana churro truck after having it on my list for a long time, and it definitely lived up to the anticipation. I started things off with a single churro dipped in cinnamon sugar for just $1.50, which was the perfect introduction to how fresh and crispy their dough is. I liked it so much that I followed up with the $8 deal for five plain churros and two dipping sauces. The churros were served piping hot, and having the dips on the side really allowed the quality of the fresh-fried dough to shine.
The overall experience was incredibly smooth and convenient. Unlike many popular food trucks where parking can be a nightmare, this spot has plenty of space available, making it an easy in-and-out visit. The service was impressively quick, so I didn't have to wait long at all to get my hands on the treats. It’s a fantastic, affordable spot for anyone in the area looking for a high-quality dessert served with efficiency.“

“Una de las mejores comidas 👍🏻👍🏻“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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