Breaded fish taco.
Ruth B.

Always support the locals. Since I can remember this restaurant has been open. The food is tasty, the service is fantastic and it's a very chill cozy environment. They don't sell hard liquor but a model will do. We order fish breaded tacos. The toppings was cabbage, tomaotes, cilantro, onions and a very good sauce. The breaded fish were small due to the small Tortillas but I feel that at 4.49 each small taco a little more fish should be added. Please do not take this review wrong. I enjoy my two tacos, the model beer, the music from MIKE and my time with my hubby. Will I order the fish tacos at 4.49 each no. I prefer mole with chicken. Oh, forgot to mention we recieved two small plates of mole with on chips with Mexican cheese. Bomb! Check thisbplace out. Very busy on the weekend and parking is tough but worth it.

Café De Olla con una concha!
Julie P.

Authentic! This was our first time coming and we were greeted the minute we saw staff, making the ambiance pleasurable. We ordered the Cafe de Olla, it was delicious and it came with a concha! As we ordered and waited for our food looking around it looks like a big restaurant and great for families. The food came out at a timely manner and we ate every last bit of it! I recommend "La Tentación", it has a little bit of everything and feeds up to three people depending how hungry you are. The price in everything was well worth it as well!

Mold negro con pollo, frijoles negros, y arroz

I love a good mole, so I was pleased when the server brought some chips with mole coloradito on them to the table. I found the mole to be slightly sweet and less spicy than I prefer for a coloradito (although I'm accustomed to the mole from the border, not Oaxaca). But the server brought more chips with mole negro on it to try and it was excellent, so I ordered the mole negro plate. The mole had great depth of flavor and a nice spicy kick, the chicken was tender, and the beans were very flavorful. And their corn tortillas the best indicator of a good Mexican restaurant were fresh off the comal, oversized, soft, and tasty. The only downside was trying to get my wheelchair underneath a table, although they worked hard to accommodate me. I found only one space in the entire restaurant that fit my wheelchair (which fortunately was unoccupied). We also have a disabled parking space right outside the door. Based on my one experience at Casa Oaxaca, I would recommend it to others.

We had a nice lunch here. Parking is rough and we ended up a few blocks away. The restaurant was busy but seemed to move efficiently-- we waited 25 minutes for a table. The food was incredible. They have complimentary chips with salsa and mole and we ordered quesadillas dorados for an appetizer. The quesadillas were fantastic. For mains, I had chicken mole -- a leg/thigh quarter smothered in mole with rice and beans. A bit messy, but amazing. My wife ordered one of the bass filet platters (filete de ajo?) and it was the best single piece of fish I've had in ages. The staff were courteous and we had a great meal. The lunch rush had died down by the time we finished, making this a good spot to hit off peak to get parking out front and skip the waitlist.

This is a great venue for good Mexican food. I came here to see a friend of mine perform live. Great live music and vibe! I really like Mole and of course had to try theirs. I got the Pollo with Mole and it was delicious. I also loved the Passion Fruit Margarita. Served chilled!

Hot chocolate
Karla P.

I love Oxacan food! Excellent service, excellent food, excellent ambiance. Today I had their sliders , the molcajete and then Mexican hot chocolate!

Horchata
Yvonne H.

Really cute place, especially for a date night. Very nice service and they specialize in Oaxacan foods. I love their mole, they have 2 types. There's live music on the weekend. Parking can be tough so plan accordingly.

Molcajete Oaxaqueño, Chips and Guacamole, Tlayuda La Bendicion con cecina.

Live music on Friday night, friendly staff and amazing flavors! The food was 10s for everything, I think my favorite was the chicken soup! Tasted so homemade and comforting. Will be back soon!

Jasmine O.

Love coming here with the family! Nice hole in the wall restaurant. I went a Monday at around 11am and had some hot chocolate and then got a chicken soup. The chicken soup was very flavorful and the avocado added a nice touch to it.

Anthony L.

This is my first time here at the restaurant and I got to tell you the food is fucken delicious authentic Mexican food. Food is on point the service was superb always asking us are we good, of course we good devouring our plate and stuffing our faces. The place is a little small but place can get really crowded.

Tlayuda mixta!
Adriana O.

I love the scenery and the food is delicious! Can't go wrong with the mole enchiladas, and their tlayudas! Chefs kiss!

Freddy V.

Delicious food. I ordered a large tray for two and had leftover food for days! Go try the Oaxaca cheese! Great service and live entertainment!

Artist Village Cafe: Birthday Breakfast Review…read more Formerly The Den, and before that the OG Gypsy Den, Artist Village Cafe has some serious Santa Ana history and apparently we brought all that history with us because the wait was LONG. We came in for a birthday breakfast and eventually got our food... emphasis on eventually. I went with the avocado toast + sunny-side-up egg, someone else ordered the breakfast sandwich with fruit which was served with grilled peach that we mistook for potatoes (yum). Everyone else went for the breakfast burrito, so we basically covered the breakfast menu. The verdict? Food was okay. Portions were pretty standard: not skimpy, but definitely not "I need a nap after this" generous. The churro latte, though? Yummy! That one understood the assignment. The dirty horchata was just okay, nothing to write home about. Overall, a cute spot with plenty of character and nostalgia, but the long wait made it hard to get overly excited about the meal. Maybe we caught them on a slow morning but at 8:30am we were the first ones to arrive ... but maybe breakfast just needed to marinate a little longer. Would I go back? Probably but next time, I'm ordering the churro latte first. and make sure you don't need to be anywhere afterwards.

I got the starving artist special for 10$ and caramel flan for dessert. They don't serve alcohol yet but hopefully soon! Starving Artist Special- This is such a great deal! You get crispy bacon, eggs your way, breakfast potatoes which were perfectly seasoned and crisp, and sourdough toast with a side of homemade whipped butter and jam. Everything is fresh and tasty and just what I needed in the morning. Caramel Flan- Soft and custardy with just the right amount of sweetness. Topped with whipped cream. Perfect way to end the meal. Great experience overall!

To locate the restaurant, go up the stairs on the side. Happy hour is every day, 4-6PM The drinks are good and they have a good selection of beers and cocktails. You order at the bar and the service is quick. The food, however, is underwhelming. Regular fries are not great but the Cajun fries are better. Fries are enough to feed 2-3 people. The chicken tenders on the other hand are very small, and you get more sauce than chicken. The good thing about it is that the food was cheaper during happy hour. Some of the chairs/benches were uncomfortable, but overall, sitting outside is nice.

I grabbed a blonde (#3 on tap) and it was smooth, refreshing, and perfect after a long, stressful Friday at work being short-staffed and drowning with patients. Came in just needing to decompress--met up with a friend, grabbed a booth, and just chilled. The whole place has a very laid-back, local vibes, rooftop. Nothing over-the-top, just good energy and a spot where you can actually sit and talk. I didn't try the food this time, but I asked someone at the bar and they said it's really good--so that's definitely next on my list. Parking is right behind the spot in a structure, which was super convenient. First hour is free, then about $1.75 after that, but no validation--so just plan ahead. I kept it quick since I wasn't trying to turn one drink into a $15 parking night for just one beer. Bartenders were friendly and attentive--they checked in, cleared our glasses, and let us do our thing. No pressure, just good service. Overall, it's a chill, local hangout with solid beer and a relaxed atmosphere. I'll definitely be back--next time for the food and a longer stay. Oh btw, One of the bartenders did confirm that they have happy hour all day on Mondays, I'll be back on a Monday.

The high ceilings, rustic exposed brick, and massive bar setup make for an electric atmosphere when it's packed out with a rowdy crowd. Even when they're slammed for game days, the kitchen holds its own. The duck fat fries are pretty much mandatory for the table--super crispy, well-seasoned, and easy to pick at while drinking. Their empanadas, lumpia, and burgers are also solid, easy crowd-pleasers to pair with a huge craft beer list or one of their whiskey cocktails. Because the energy is so high during watch parties, service can understandably take a little longer than a normal quiet lunch, but the staff handles the game-day rush really well and keeps the drinks flowing. Parking in downtown Santa Ana can be hit-or-miss with meters, but slipping into the Sycamore parking structure right across the street saves you from driving in circles.

They said they usually wouldn't, but he came back and said they could pull a fresh one for her, which was beyond kind. Other than the amazing service, the food was a 10/10. Those shrimp and grits were probably the best I've ever had. Usually, grits are too spicy or too salty for me, but these were seasoned to perfection. Plus, there was a good amount of shrimp on the plate, and they were pretty big. The pineapple upside-down pancakes are a must-try, being that they are a staple in our house. They were really good! There weren't any maraschino cherries, but I was vibing with that because I'm not a big fan of them regardless.Overall, such an amazing spot to get breakfast!

Santa Ana Brunch Club: A Breakfast Revelation…read more For one, I have never really been a brunch or breakfast person. Breakfast has always felt somewhat predictable to me eggs, pancakes, French toast, maybe some potatoes and even the higher-end brunch establishments, while they may use more refined ingredients, sometimes only manage to give the classics a slight edge over your run-of-the-mill breakfast joint. Then I experienced Santa Ana Brunch Club. When I say this was the best breakfast I have ever had, that is honestly an understatement. And yes, that comes with one very important disclaimer: no seafood* I'm allergic. Everything was phenomenal. And I mean everything. Most restaurants treat eggs like a supporting character a side dish, a filler, something added to make the plate appear more substantial. Santa Ana Brunch Club clearly sees them differently. The scrambled eggs were impossibly fluffy, beautifully seasoned, and carried an original flavor profile that was immediately distinguishable from any other eggs I've encountered. They weren't there to fill space; they were part of the composition. Now, what did I order? Bubbies Fried Chicken n Pancakes substituted with French toast. And this French toast... It looked like something pulled directly from the pages of a culinary magazine or lifted from a beautifully produced food television show. It was almost so visually perfect that I felt like I shouldn't touch it. But once I did, the presentation became secondary because the flavor was even more impressive. I have never considered myself a French toast person. Most of the time, it simply isn't executed properly, so I've always gravitated toward pancakes because, well... it's pretty difficult to completely mess up a pancake. Santa Ana Brunch Club changed that. This was easily the best French toast I have ever encountered. Rich without becoming heavy. Sweet without crossing into excessive sweetness. Every component seemed intentionally placed, creating that rare balance that can only happen when someone truly understands the craft of cooking. There was a progression to every bite texture, sweetness, richness, warmth and somehow it continued getting better as I worked my way through the plate. Then came the fried chicken. That perfectly seasoned, beautifully crisp exterior brought exactly what the French toast needed: crunch, salt, and savory depth. It created a contrast that pulled the entire dish together. The result was essentially an elevated interpretation of the chicken and waffle concept, except this felt like it had been taken into an entirely different culinary universe. This wasn't simply breakfast. It was a redefinition of breakfast. The kind of dish that makes you reconsider an entire category of food you thought you already understood. And then there were the drinks. The Berry Bloom is one of those drinks that makes you stop after the first sip and think, why isn't this bottled and sold everywhere? It's an incredibly well-balanced spritz bright, refreshing, fruit-forward without becoming overly sweet, and composed in a way that makes it feel effortless. This is something I could genuinely see becoming a nationwide bottled sensation. The White Rum Vanilla Bean Latte takes a completely different approach. Instead of burying the coffee underneath syrups, sugar, and a mountain of additives, it allows the actual coffee to remain the star. The vanilla bean and rum notes complement rather than overpower, creating a latte that feels intentional rather than disguised. That, more than anything, seems to define Santa Ana Brunch Club. Intentionality. Nothing felt like filler. Nothing felt like an afterthought. The eggs mattered. The texture mattered. The sweetness mattered. The contrast between savory and sweet mattered. Even the drinks felt composed with the same philosophy as the food. I doordashed not being a breakfast person. I m wondering if I had simply been eating breakfast at the wrong places. Santa Ana Brunch Club didn't just serve me breakfast it redefined what breakfast could be. Whenever I think of brunch or breakfast from this point forward, this is the place I'm going to think about.

The wait wasn't too bad for such a small establishment, the food was really good, and all the…read moreworkers (even the chef) were really nice. With it being a small place, one thing that stood out was that our food came out late. We were told it was because there was a large order placed when our order was placed. That was fine. No big deal but not too long after we finished eating and paid for our food, we were being rushed off so that the table could be used for the next guest. We understood but my thought was now we are being rushed when our food came out pretty late. I thought they forgot about us. But it wasn't an issue. We gathered our things and left. We completely understood and they were really polite about letting us know it was time to leave. Another thing I would like to see done, when they are able, is a makeover for the restroom. I was hesitant, not because of the looks but because there is only one bathroom and I couldn't figure out if the door was locked or not Once you go, if you visit before the knob is changed, you'll understand what I mean. Overall, I'd go back. It was good and the people there were really cool.
