One of our favorite places that we have ever tried! The appetizers are a must try!…read more The fries were so crispy yet so fluffy on the inside. The ahi tuna was amazing, must try. The rigatoni was ok, nothing surprising. The steak had a very strong wine glaze which was not our favorite. It was very busy when we got there but we were lucky to get a small table by a tree. All the servers seem to help all the tables so service was a bit chaotic as different servers asked us if we ordered already. Regardless, all of the servers were super kind. This restaurant only has outdoor seating area which creates a breezy and chill vibe when the weather is nice.

Came here on Sunday, June 12, 2026 at 5:00pm. Looked on yelp and they had plenty of reservations…read moreavailable at 5:00, 5:15, 5:30, 5:45 so I didn't think we needed a reservation. When we checked in with the hostess, she asked if we had a reservation and when we said no, she gave us some attitude. I explained that we saw there were plenty of reservations available and booked it for 5:15 on Yelp. When I told the hostess I that I booked the 5:15 reservation on Yelp, she rolled her eyes at me. The manager wasn't helpful either. When we informed them that we have decided to leave and go somewhere else, they just say ok. No apology or attempt to try and seat us. Obviously, we were more of a bother to them. Bummer, cause I heard the food was pretty good. Restaurants are part of the hospitality industry, so when they have bad hospitality, it ruins the experience.

I only come here for the chilaquiles. They have good pan dulce from time to time but their…read morechilaquiles are my go to. I was a bit disappointed in their coffee, but it's not too bad. That said, their service is fast and friendly, place is clean, and their chilaquiles are delicious. I try to stop by for breakfast whenever in the area. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

Over all over priced under seasoned and ran by terrible people 1/5…read more Best way I can describe this place is "interesting" me and my girlfriend tried to get food here a couple of times but each time their line deterred us. Finally a couple weeks go by and we get there with the line not too busy so we wait for about 20 mins in line with only 5 people ahead of us which I felt was a bit crazy but we're already here. Finally we order and get a breakfast burrito and a torta to eat in totaling out to 35$ just between those two items, but hey if it's good who cares right. We notice that there is no assigned seating and we're told to grab a seat where ever we liked so we go to the only table available inside about 10 mins after sitting and waiting for our food one of the waiters comes up to us and tells us we can't sit at the table because it's meant for a bigger party and that there is a table all the way in the back next to the restrooms that we need to move to because they need to save this table in case a big party comes in. I told her that these were the only seats available when we got here and i'd have no problem moving if a bigger party came through however there wasn't anybody waiting in line or ordering so we were gonna continue to wait here. the waitress proceeded to tell me that she doesn't know how else to say this but we aren't allowed to sit there, and we just exchange awkward silence. she gave up after about a minute of telling us to go to the back of the restaurant. All this could be overlooked if the food was amazing so i was really hoping it would be good and then finally after about 16 mins of waiting and being told to move by staff the food comes out. the waiter drops my plate so that it clatters as it hits the table and the nail in the coffin is that the food was honestly borderline bad, burrito lacked seasoning but was smothered in salsa to attempt to hide its mediocrity, it came with two more salsas on the side and chips but the chips were cold and stale unsure if they just gave me old chips because they were upset with me not moving to the back for them or if their chips are always that stale and unsalted. won't be making a return save urself the money and go try any other Mexican place their food will be better and cheaper.

It's never crowded. Parking is easy to find. The service is always excellent. The food is good. The portions are generous. The music is always great. My fave is the Breakfast Burrito made vegan with tofu and soyrizo. I also get it in a bowl so it's gluten free, too. I always get the potatoes as the side and the portion is always very big so we have some to take home. My husband's usual is the Morning Mix made vegan with tofu scramble. We just love the relaxing atmosphere of this place. We also went to an open mic night once, and I can highly recommend that - the musicians that showed the night we were there were very talented.

This place has potential but I won't be returning because the service was quite poor. The staff…read morethemselves were friendly but our coffees took ~25 minutes to be prepared (Like well after our food came out). Ample vegan options here but not many vegan breakfast dishes aside from the avocado toast. But it was a solid and tasty option (especially w the veg bacon added). The chili was yummy, and the potatoes were great. I'd skip the elote vegan mac n cheese.

Native Son is a solid 4/5 stars…read more Parking is easy to access in the garage behind the building. They don't validate, but the 1st hour is free. 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've been coming here for years, but after my most recent experience, I will not be returning. I…read morewas treated with clear disrespect and unfair service by one of the staff members. I came in with friends and ordered a pitcher along with several shots. The server, a young white male, brought the shots and only one cup of beer. I immediately told him I had ordered a pitcher, but he insisted I never said that -- even though I had already been charged. To avoid arguing, I told him to just bring a pitcher and charge me again respectfully. He refused and told me I would have to go back and wait in line if I wanted one. When I asked to speak with a manager, he said the manager was unavailable. We later noticed him walking around the patio taking pitcher requests from other customers and bringing them directly to their tables without sending them back in line. We politely asked again, and he said "okay," but repeatedly ignored us, walking past our table multiple times. When my friend followed up, he suddenly claimed he couldn't serve us and again told us to get back in line. There was no clear reason for the difference in treatment. Watching others get served while we were repeatedly refused, despite being respectful customers, made the situation feel discriminatory. As Latino customers in a predominantly Latino community, the behavior came across as biased and unacceptable. It's extremely disappointing because I've supported this place for nearly a decade and had never experienced anything like this before. Unfortunately, this interaction completely changed my view of this establishment. I would not recommend coming here if respectful and fair service matters to you.

Stopped by the Santa Ana Marketplace after a TikTok-famous Filipino spot was sold out and ended up…read moreat this cozy corner eatery with a huge sandwich selection. I went with the Cuban sandwich (forgot to ask for no tomatoes, but easily removed them). It came with a small side of cold macaroni salad that was flavorful with a nice peppery kick. The sandwich was really good and came out quickly. All the condiments were within easy reach, which was convenient. The only downsides: I stood there for a minute or two before staff looked up from their phones to help me, and the fried ham was a bit greasy and heavy on my stomach. Overall, solid experience -- I'd rate it a 4.1/5. Would definitely come back for the sandwich and mac salad!

That's what happened to me 3 drinks and some yummy snacks later. My husband and I had dinner reservations nearby but went here for some mixed drinks beforehand and to also eat their delicious cheese curds. Their cheese curds are the best! Better than Culver's for sure!! They have both high top and low tables and bar seating. I love their mixed drinks! I've tried 5 different cocktails and all 5 are outstanding!

We found this place to have a good menu and I was particularly thrilled seeing Meatloaf on it. That…read moreis exactly what i got. It came wrapped in bacon and had mashed potatoes below it. Crispy fried onions were on top of the meatloaf and the side of Brussel sprouts were really tasty. My wife had the shrimp tacos and they didnt skimp on any element of her dish. She got a wedge of lime and some salsa verde to pour on top of those tacos. She also ordered a side of egg roll that came with pickled red onion and a sauce for those. We saw their fries were thin and crispy but when we got them, we werent crazy about having them seasoned in pepper. The place is nicely decorated with books, which was another reason we wanted to come visit. It looked like this place turns into a club late at night because we saw a disco ball hanging near us. Sure there are good times there so perhaps we'll have to check out what thats like.

Shrimp and grits - not macro friendly and totally fine with it. Imagine creamy soup sauce, jambalaya ingredients, big shrimps, 2 over easy eggs, and creamy grits. It just works. Zula's crab cakes Benedict - solid. Real crab, spinach instead of english muffin (creative and tasty), poblano sauce, and potatoes. Wifey liked this because it was seasoned well and tasted great. Fluffy pancakes and bacon for the kids. The chocolate chip and tiramisu pancakes were like dessert. Lastly, Josue is super friendly, professional, courteous, and caring. He created a warm environment for us overall. We'll be back!

Here's why: the bacon tasted pretty cheap and was really oily. The home fries lacked seasoning, they were bland and honestly just forgettable. Eggs are eggs, but these tasted a little watered down to me. Maybe it was just an off day, who knows. The pancakes were decent, but nothing that really stood out. That said, I'm not saying you shouldn't come here. I definitely think it's worth trying for yourself because everyone has different tastes. This place has potential, but based on my experience, it just wasn't it.
