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.“

“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.“

“My first time here was around spring break and we went on a Friday around 10 am and there was no line, plenty of pastries! Today (Saturday) was my second time, I was worried there would be too many people but as others have said, the line moves at a good pace. It took a min, but I was able to find street parking kinda far away but I don't mind the walk. I went around 10:20 am and by 10:35 I was inside. While waiting they passed out some chocolate panettone samples which was so nice of them! I was able to score everything I planned to buy, my rosemary focaccia, cinnamon croissant, croque moniseur, chocolate croissant and tomato cheese danish! I was so happy they weren't sold out, there was plenty of everything. I'm not a morning person but going around 10-11 am worked out for me. The quality is amazing and the staff is so friendly and attentive. Everything came out to be around almost $70 but I do think its worth it! I just wish they had a parking lot since I do have some driving/parking trouble. Make sure to check out their instagram for status on their lines and goods, they're always updating which is awesome!“

“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!“

“Tasty Afghani food is featured in this family restaurant run by Mustafa. We relished the Kabuli Polo, Mantu, and Karahi Chicken with freshly baked flat bread. The lightly refreshing Mango lassi helped us digest the food. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for my birthday!“

“This place was so elegant! I was surprised to find this gem, located in the corner of a small parking lot. The inside was clean and white, very visually pretty. My friend ordered a coffee, which they're known for. I got the Taro Coco Cloud. My drink was creamy, lightly sweet, and tasted exactly like the name says. It was like drinking taro-flavored foam, with the occasional coconut crisp to chew on for texture. There are probably other places that serve this quality of drink, but I would come back to Findi specifically for the beautiful aesthetic and calm vibe.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“This is a great place to go for amazing Pho. I have visited over 10 places with Vietnamese food. This place is definitely one of the best. Very nice casual dining place in a shopping center right across from Stater Bros on the corner of Edinger and DiFairview. Love the Chicken Bowl with noodles and a crispy egg roll in the bowl. The vegetables and broth blend so well. The prices are very good. They even offer a Senior Discount. Try this place you will be pleased.“

“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!“

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

“Fantastic service, lovely place to do work or hangout. I love that they have a baristas choice of the day, it’s a great way for me to try new drinks :] also their support for local groups and movements is really important ans appreciated!“

“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“

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

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

“Great pizza, great prices and portions! Had to write my review after the first bite! Workers were super friendly and it was nice to see that they have their regular/repeat customers as well! When I was greeted, it was more of a familial greeting, as if we knew each other. It felt nice. Pizza was amazing though! Great texture, not too thin, not too thick, just right! Will be back! 😌“

“Favorite spot on the West Coast!“

“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.“

“We were in the area, and I was craving for coffee. I found this place with all the great reviews, so I decided to come by. It is located inside a plaza with lots of parking spaces. Parking was easy. They have both outdoor and in door seatings. Menu seems smaller, but still has enough options. I ordered matcha lavender latter and New Orleans cold brew. Both of our drinks were amazing! The cold brew is my favorite cold brew I have ever tried. I am unsure if it has oak milk in it, but it has a slight sweetness in it, which made it good! The matcha was strong, but not bitter, and it has a strong lavender scent, which I love. The only complaint I have is the size of the drinks were too small, and I was unable to enjoy it more. Too bad I left, or else I might go back and get another one. Cashier was friendly, patient, and kind that he explained different drinks to us. Very modern minimalist decorations, and they have magazine available to read in the store. I will come by again if I am in the area.“

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

“I chose this place to eat because it keeps late hours...which is perfect for late night meal needs. The staff was very helpful and courteous, and I did not have to wait too long (maybe about 20 minutes, probably even less than that) to get my pie. That said, the proof is in the eating, and this place succeeded wonderfully. There is something magical about pizza fresh out of the oven, and Marco's was just what I needed to curb my hunger. I am looking forward to having some leftover slices for breakfast tomorrow.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“First of all I would like to say, GET THE ENCHILADAS SUIZAS. Second , we came here on a Sunday , mariachi was the best , food was amazing. Came with a plan to ask a girl to be my girlfriend and the manager was 100% the most helpful when it came down to it. Will definitely be coming back , thank you all for the best experience.“

“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“

“Hand-pulled noodles were super fresh and chewy, with really rich flavor. loved the mix of sauces—perfect balance, not too heavy. Portion size was great for the price, and the spot feels cozy and casual. Definitely coming back when I’m craving noodles again.“

“La comida es deliciosa y el servicio estupendo“

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

“This place offers a consistent churro, time over time. It's not the greatest churro I ever had, but it is pretty good. THere's always a line but it moves fast. They run out of the dulce de leche topping early in the evening every time though. I went there as late as 10:30 PM to get my churro and I live over 30 minutes away from there.“

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

“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.“

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

“the best crepes and Conchitas awesome customer service it's like being at home. deliciosas crepes y Conchita rellenas de Nutella fresas.“

“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.“

“My wife and I stopped for a random pie in CA while visiting Disneyland. Horacio helped us with our order, made it to perfection, and offered the best service out there. I highly recommend Late Night Pizza whenever you’re in the area. It’s worth noting - the pie reheated the next day is outstanding due to the quality toppings, cheese, and sauce used. Thanks again!“
