50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Santa Ana

“I won't let one weird employee knock my rating down of this location. Usually the customer service is pretty good, but on this day 11/29/25 @ 1030pm The younger guy working the cash register had zero customer service skills. He seemed annoyed at the very first interaction and rushed me through my order. Maybe that's just his personality because he seemed to be like that with everyone. Gotta work on that for real“

“I dont understand why this place doesnt have a line around the building... I've been coming here for a while now. I used to live in Santa Ana, then Paramount, and now Laguna Niguel. Every time I've made the drive because the drinks are AMAZING. For the most part I'm a Thai tea kinda person and the Thai Tea Blossom is ALWAYS on pint and add the Sealt Creme..... its heaven in a cup. The staff has always been good and the art does blow me away, some of these people should be doing comics, manga or cartoons. This place should be on everyone's list if you're into delicious drinks, think I'm kidding?? Again-- I drive from Laguan Niguel to get a drink from here!!!“

“I am not vegan or vegetarian, but went here with someone that is. I found the food to be tasty. That can be tough to accomplish, since I'm used to eating non vegan food. The animal fries were very good and the chicken strips had very good flavor, without the sauce overpowering the food.“

“This was our first time here. My husband had The Meditator which is a meatball sub. The meatballs and sauce were delicious. I had the Peace Maker which is a turkey pesto sub. It was delicious. The subs come on their crunch rolls which makes the sandwich. Everything is made to order so be patient. I am looking forward to going back to try something different.“

“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.“

“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 isn't obvious because there's no sign on the building itself but if you look for 300. 103 or a sign out in the central walkway, you'll find it quickly enough.
The place is certainly worth a visit for its well baked thin crust pizza. Topping are generous and a good quality. My favorite is the white pizza which is elegant and tasty Although I preferred using a few ample shakes of the garlic salt on the counter to amp up flavor. Four solitary tables sit outside and I must admit that it's not exactly a welcoming café vibe with almost no shade but it's better than nothing or than sitting inside the dark, some might call it creepy, interior. But it's that kind of place edgy/hip. The bathroom Continues to reflect the alternative dark vibe and overall, the place is hip“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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! 😌“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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 ☺️“

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

“Favorite spot on the West Coast!“

“If you are taking a tour of terribly paved industrial sectors you may run across this basic brewery which I've found weirdly chill all 3 times I've been, but beer is good and the folks seem cool. I understand it's been around for a while and still with the beer. C'est la Vie.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“delicious 😋 la mejor 💯 %..“

“I have been here twice and the consistency and quality of food is top notch. The horchata is the best I have ever had! First time I got the al pastor burrito and the second time the carnitas burrito. Meat was perfectly cooked. Burrito is huge and shareable. My wife got rolled tacos that were crispy and had plenty of meat in them.“

“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!“

“great place for dining....“

“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“

“The food is excellent - and I'm very picky about Mexican. The 3 of us all ordered very different entrees and shared the queso fundido. So so tasty and served with homemade flour tortillas. Thervice hoever, lacked just a tiny bit. Server didn't ask us if we wanted alcohol, and our dishes were not served all together. That was an awkward 5 minute gap. Lastly, asking us if we wanted more water was not asked, and the taking away of dishes meant i could not nibble on the balance of our queso. she was friendly enough and did bring out our dessert promptly. Definitely want to go back and try more dishes.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“La comida es deliciosa y el servicio estupendo“

“Food is bomb highly recommend it.“

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

“I was very pleasantly surprised. Super cute
The cups are such great quality.
Took my chance on mixing certain flavors with the help of the lady taking my order. She was so patient with me despite my indecisiveness.
Would definitely recommend this spot.“

“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.“
