Great little spot in downtown Santa Ana. I was working at an event nearby and had 2 Tacos, one fish and one carne asada. tortillas are homemade and everything was made fresh. Really cool vibes. View all feedback.
Great Cocktails, Service and Atmosphere. The bartenders are Amazing!
Excellent service. I spent my 21st birthday there and they took amazing care of me and my family. Food was amazing as well as their drink service. Owners are amazing people and the ambiance was exceptional.
Looking for a good happy hour in Santa Anna. Serendipity let me to check out what they were up to. We started with a margarita that I've never had made with cucumber and St. Germain liquor immediately went out the next day and bought some St. Germain liquor so I could attempt this at home really good cocktail and I do not usually like when they zero off throw my classic. This margarita is worth the trip. then I decided I needed a snack. I wasn't sure what a Costra was. Turns out it's Mexican street food that they often serve late night when the bars close in Mexico City they take cheese that is melted on a griddle slap a corn tortilla on it and you can either have it with white onion and cheese or you could add some protein to it I had it both ways. Incredibly delicious cheesy And warm corn tortillas so good highly recommend their happy hour for sure. Definitely going to bring some friends back for dinner room is very pretty and my bartender was very gracious. She recommended the Pinot, Margarita, and I think her for that.
The Quesorico was really good. Actually everything was good. We got the nachos as well. We need to use a fork to eat the nachos. I would have preferred having more traditional nachos with crispier chips but it was still tasty. If you're a heatseeker, ask for the habanero hot sauce.
