50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Santa Ana

“Cute little spot with great food. Get the garlic noods.“

“Una de las mejores comidas 👍🏻👍🏻“

“Family run boba shop. Super friendly, great variety, lower than average prices, and a larger size option than typical boba places. There are closer shops near me but this one has become my go-to anyways. Staff are super nice and accommodate customization requests of all sorts. Only complaint is that they use a bit too much sweetener by default, but of course you can ask for less. But only if you order in person instead of on the touchscreen.“

“Go and get them, just do it. Sandwiches are large, their vegan meats are very good and the different choices are decent. Personally I don't love the arugala they use in some of the sandwiches so I sub that with regular romaine lettuce. Also their sodas are amazing!“

“I just moved to OC so I’ve been coffee shop hunting, the only one I keep coming back to that I know will give me consistently perfect matcha and lattes is enchanted. Feels good to find my new matcha home in a new town. Food is also phenomenal.“

“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!“

“Attention all Final Fantasy 14 fans: This place serves the Xibruq Pibil from the Dawntrails story quests! Its real name is Cochinita Pibil and it's great. You can experience what Koana & Wuk Lamat had here! Taco Tuesdays are $2.50/taco.

Parking: You pay by phone or app“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent crispy no flop New York Thin Crust pizza. I only had the Pepperoni slice as they were out of cheese and all meat slices. I'm still surprised how good it was. I would call ahead and just order a pie if you like hardcore, crisp, no flop New York Thin Crust Pizza. Hard to find anywhere in California or West of New York for that matter.“

“This is an excellent place to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. It is impeccably clean, and the service is amazing. Everything they sell is fresh, love anything with ube! Their pork and veggie empanadas are so delicious. Run, don't walk, this place is worth the calories.“

“The BBQ bacon cheeseburger was really good. I didn't like the wings as much, in the future I'll just get the nuggets. But the mango habanero sauce was amazing and actually spicy I like the milkshakes here too. The only downside is that everything is kind of expensive for what it is. But the quality seems pretty good and its a big plus that they're open late. So I would eat here again! Updated from previous review on 2025-04-05“

“Discovered this cute cafe in downtown Santa Ana. I ordered a matcha and it was absolutely delicious! Very spacious they have plenty of seating in the upstairs area, perfect place to do some work. Wish I lived closer to this area. Would definitely recommend you check it out.“

“Sanduche de Lomito with spicy chimichurri…..delicious!!!! Always hits the spot!! Freshly made, always cooked to perfection.I forgot to add, the location looks a little sketchy. Windows are boarded up, but, don’t be afraid. Walk inside and you’ll see a small market filled with Colombian, Peruvian, and Argentinian imported food products and the small restaurant to the side.“

“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.“

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

“Delicious food and you can tell it's made with care and Chapli kebab plate was the perfect amount of food and left me content... the rice was so good too (and its just rice i know but the way they make it is awesome).... I definitely will be reordering soon.“

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

“This has become a go-to spot for awesome beer, great pinball, and even better company. The pinball machines are meticulously maintained and play great, and they run regular pinball tournaments that are super welcoming and beginner-friendly. The owner and staff care deeply about the quality of the beer and the experience their patrons have when they visit, and the regulars are always warm and inviting. I highly recommend a visit if you truly want that Cheers experience where "everybody knows your name." ?“

“Awesome boba tea! I’ve had the Thai tea and classic black tea. My wife loves the taro tea. I get regular or 75% sugar, but she gets no sugar, which is still pretty naturally sweet for the taro. The shop is super clean and they have good WiFi.“

“We stopped by after dinner around 8pm on a Friday and found a nice crowd already gathered! Churros are made fresh in their food truck, and you place your order at the stand next to it.

They usually accept cards, but their Square reader was down during our visit, so we made a quick run to the CVS across the street for cash. The prices are incredibly affordable, and for a group of four, we ordered 10 churros, 2 dipping sauces, and a buñuelo.

Everything came out warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I wish I had taken a photo of the churros, but we devoured it all before I even thought to reach for my phone—definitely check out other reviewers' pics!“

“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!“

“Los más deliciosos que he probado,“

“Love this place. Delicious and authentic tacos, sipes, burritos etc... Reminds me of the taco stands in Mexico with homemade tortillas.“

“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.

“It’s a different style of Thai than what I’ve had before.

The chicken dumplings were superb and crisp with a tasty dipping sauce that is soy based.

The chicken and rice dish is delectable and also is served with a sauce and a side of soup.

Excellent quick food after a long drive for an event down the block.

The market is filled with lots of people and it’s quite noisy.“

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

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

“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 ☺️“

“Not sure why they think they can charge more than $4.50 for a cappuccino.
Location does not have free parking
So they upd their cappuccinos to $5.25- most places are $5 and under
Also I'm paying $2 to try and find parking if i want to sit for coffee and not just run in and run out
Coffee was great and hot but the price doesn't bring me back in on the regular.“

“Ridiculously good spot, everything's so well priced with hella big portions compared to San Diego or San Francisco. Idk how anyone could complain about the prices, like if you're broke js say that. Food came out within 10 minutes, freshly made and hot.
Esta al 💯 aqui!“

“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.“

“Reshmi recently provided live Dosa center at my daughter's party. Everything about the Dosa center was perfect. Our guests enjoyed it a lot. Taste, presentation and variety of Dosa's was a big hit. I would definitely recommend her for events Incase you are considering“

“What a gem of a restaurant, the quality is clear the second you see the food. The taste is fresh and the bowls are so colorful and nutritious. Great value for the generous portions also. Top not service- my go to restaurant for lunch! Also Rotisserie Chicken is great to pick up for dinner and take home to my family!“

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

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

“Very flavorful tacos. The seasoning was elite and the tortilla was phenomenal. The meat itself was slightly dry. The portion size is about what you’d expect for $2. The only issue I had with the service was that they did not do a good job of labeling the packages for the other guests in my party.“

“Holy smokes by far the best tacos I ever had! The flavor was sooooo deep! I never had cabases (head) before and my mind was blown of how GOOOD IT WAS! I also got al pastor and chorizo which was just as yummy! And the horochata they made was sooo unique had a flavor of Carmel but it wasn't! My friend who's Mexican showed me this place and I Thank God because wow felt like i was in Mexico eating it! Highly recommended this place to all those who loves tacos!“

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

“great place for dining....“

“I initially ordered 2 calzones with 3 toppings each. They quoted me 10 minutes. Upon arrival, we were met by Fernando who informed us the employees were extremely busy and misread the order. They stated they can remake the order and have it ready within 10 minutes. Fernando was extremely friendly and courteous throughout the ordeal and even allowed us to add additional items to an already placed order. The calzones were delicious and Fernando ensured our order was made to perfection. I highly recommend ordering food from here, will definitely be a recurring client.“

“Very good! Got my fav Dragon Slayer, wings& fries and their special Mango Bingsu. Asked for mild to low, on the side if possible but they didn't listen or forgot there or their definition of "mild" isn't what I'd say mild, it's more like hot spicy.. as it came out mixed in & more spicy hot than "mild." So if you like spicy it's fine but“

“Pretty good coffee and nice pastries - though the croissant is more crunch than substance. Coffee is really good though. Pop tarts are excellent.

The space is industrial-chic I guess BUT it's always a little dirty. I know because my toddler loves running around here and when he drops on to his knees, the pants are immediately blackened.

Really nice baristas though!“

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

“Food portion and quality was good. New cashier didn't explain that there was an upcharge for choosing panini bread for my sandwich. Posted menu price didn't match what they charged me, there was a 35 cent difference. Service was fast and friendly. Manager apologized for poorly trained cashier and pricing issue. I will come back again.“

“The best coffee shop in Santa Ana's downtown, particularly in the 4th St. Market area

Parking: Parking structure allows the first 45 minutes free then two dollars per hour

Kid-friendliness: There’s games in the patio“

“toda la comida muy rica excelente servicio amabilidad muy buen precio en comparaciones de otro lugar los tacos de asada muy ricos“
