    Such a cute place! First time here and absolutely will be coming back. The empanadas are deeeelicious! We tried the beef and papa, chicken, and I believe ropa vieja. So so good! They have many more options. I wasn't able to try there coffee, but I definitely will next time. It looks like they have sandwiches and, burritos, also a ton of yummy pastries. I'll be trying a few next time as well! First time here and I was really impressed. The girls working there were the sweetest, with us. Totally recommend to check it out!

    I saw OBRA bakery on tiktok so I decided to stop by on a Wednesday before lunch time. It was pretty quiet. When you walk in you will be greeted with counters of pastries, empanadas, single cake slices and cookies. Everything looked really good. My sister-in-law got a breakfast burrito and I got the breakfast sandwich and one chicken empanada and one beef empanada. The empanadas were really good and full of flavor. I think it would be really great as an option for a big party or a gathering since they cater as well. The breakfast burrito was very greasy, and it was not portioned out correctly, so every part of the burrito was just in clumps in different sections and you couldn't really get a bite of everything at any point. The breakfast sandwich was pretty good. I thought it was very evenly balanced. The croissant was delicious. All in all I could go back for the empanadas but more realistically I will stop by again to pick up a box of empanadas for parties.

    Baked Cuban Empanada
    William M.

    Had this book marked for a couple months and was finally able to go give em a try. I placed my order on their website, I picked several different empanadas and a dozen of the potato balls. Got there on time for my scheduled pick up and I was greeted by the 2 employees. They have a pick up area, so you don't have to wait in the order line. I let the employee know I had an online order and provided my name. She found my order and asked for a couple of minutes while she put my order together. They don't pre-pick it, she put my order together when i got there so it wasn't just sitting and waiting. This ensures everything is fresh. I tried a couple of empanadas - and I wasn't a fan of them because they were baked. I'm from the San Gabriel valley and I've been getting my empanadas from Tito's (IYKYK). The baked crust just didn't cut it for me. Potato balls - I thought they were really good and was the star of the show here. They are giant compared to Porto's. The meat is well seasoned and they don't crumble and fall apart when you bite into them like Porto's. They do have a lot more potato - this is why they don't break apart. The chicken filled ones have a little spice to them. I would return for the potato's but I would skip the empanadas. I'll try some of the pastries and cookies next time too,.

    Cuban Sandwich
    Jarvis J.

    We came here on Father's Day'. Just wanted something lowkey. We got the Cuban sandwich, fries, and a sausage empanada. My wife also got a slice of passion fruit cheesecake. Everything tasted great and we will definitely be back again.

    Potato balls
    Breana D.

    They have a big selection of menu items, both savory and pastries. I love the extra detailing they put into the empanadas and the fact that each empanada is labeled. Taste-wise, they were okay but the potato balls were absolutely amazing!! Best potato ball I've had, wayyy better than Porto's. Pricing is more on the expensive side. Spent around $80 for 6 empanadas, 7 potato balls, and a coffee. I wish I had ordered a smaller amount because they didn't reheat well and didn't taste the same the next day even after putting them in the air fryer.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Carolina R.

    My boyfriend came to OBRA a few weeks and mentioned how much he loved it so we came on Saturday morning so I can try it! I got the breakfast empanada cause he said it was good. I liked it but the only thing I will say is that there was barely any egg in the empanada. I think what made up for it was the sauces but I do wish there was more egg which my boyfriend said last time there was. My boyfriend ordered the breakfast burrito. We are very picky about our breakfast burrito but this one was so good. The combination of the flavors was Pete etc and the creamy cilantro sauce inside tied everything together. It is now one of his fav burrito in OC! We would come back for the burrito. I want to try their beef balls and he wants to try the Cuban sandwich. The service was good, the 2 women working were nice. It's a new space so I everything was clean and organized. I do have to say, their playlist was fire!

    OBRA is a nice little Latin American inspired bakery known for its Empanadas. I tried the BBQ pork and the Beef Empanadas, which is their best seller, both of which costs about $4-5. The outside of the pastry was baked pretty well, good texture. The meat filling was I thought was decently seasoned and was pretty filling. Each came with a chipotle based dipping sauce which I thought provided additional good flavor. I also tried their beef ball which I also thought was pretty good. This location is Santa Ana is decently sized with a good number of seats inside. The store was clean and well kept. Service was friendly. Food took a little bit to come out, but not too long

    Obra ball
    Vincent N.

    This place is really good! And a great alternative to Porto's! I want to give this place 5 stars but a couple of items didn't really hit the mark, but some other items were amazing! 1. Obra ball is a must get! Seasoned flavorful minced beef with potato and cheese, and it's huge! 2. The Cuban sandwich was delicious! The pork was so juicy! However I wished that they gave more than one slice of thin ham with the sandwich. 3. I also really liked the iced tres leches coffee! Make sure to stir it up before drinking, really great flavor! 4. I didn't enjoy the beef empanada as much as the chicken. The chicken seemed to have more flavor and seasoning l. 5. The deserts were kind of a miss for me. The Dulce Lindser cookies was decent but nothing special. The chocolate chip cookie was on the tougher brittle side. However when throwing it in the microwave, it was actually soft gooey and delicious!

    Stopped by Ombra Hand Bakery and wow... everything looked absolutely beautiful and fresh. I ordered the cubed sandwich, and it did not disappoint. The bread was soft on the inside with the perfect crisp on the outside, and every bite tasted fresh and flavorful without feeling overly heavy. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the presentation and quality of the food here. The bakery itself had such a clean, modern, cozy vibe, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy lunch or coffee. Definitely a hidden gem in Santa Ana, and I'll absolutely be coming back to try more items from the menu!

    Inside seating
    Daniel A.

    Ok so this spot is a hidden gem. The location is very central, the staff are very friendly, the interior is so clean and spacious, but most of all the food slaps...so hard! I tried multiple empanadas, potato balls, a chicken pie, and some desserts. They have a really solid selection of ready to go pastries, but also a whole menu of cooked-to-order sandwiches and burritos. The pro tip is to order a dozen empanadas or more and then they'll throw some in for free! Will definitely be back ASAP!

    baked beef empanada, beef obra ball, peach & dulce de leche turnover, Arnold Palmer, chicken square pie
    Ivy D.

    I bought a chicken square pie and a crispy chicken sandwich to go. The sandwich was delicious, especially with the spicy mayo sauce. Plenty of seating and food options. I'd definitely be back!

    Apple turnover, OBRA beef ball, ropa viejo empanada, tres leches latte (iced)
    Kayla D.

    WOW! Came here on a friday morning, about an hour after they opened! Little to no line, so service was super quick, and the lady at the front was super nice and decriptive about all of the menu items that they had available. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by the sight of all of their baked goods (empanadas, desserts, etc). I got the apple turnover, OBRA beef ball, ropa viejo empanada, and an iced tres leches coffee. Both the salsas and sauces that came with went beautifully with each savory item. The empanada was fluffy and flaky and was delicious, the OBRA ball reminded me of porto's potato ball, and was maybe even larger than that, and the apple turnover as my dessert was sooooo good. I would. most definitely come here again to grab something in the morning! The coffee was sweet and I enjoyed drinking it on my way to work after.

    Homemade Desserts
    Grace C.

    Everything is made from scratch. Casual, Plenty of seats. Cubano sandwich- decent sandwich, good size, but meat was a bit dry. Prefer from Porto's. Passionfruit cheesecake- delicious, not too dense, mildly sweet with lot of passion fruit flavor. I want to try the OBRA balls next time!

The Ensalada Duranguense and ribeye steak were the stars of the meal. The ribeye was excellent done perfectly and came with delicious extras definitely a five-star surprise. The drinks had great flavor, although, being Mexican, I prefer my drinks like my opinions: a little stiffer. They were good, but they could use a bit more alcohol. The tacos, however, were not a 5 for the price, at a fancy restaurant, I expected something special, but honestly, you're better off buying street tacos and saving your money. Don't order the tacos unless you enjoy paying premium prices for an experience that leaves you wishing you had gone to the taco truck. Overall, the service was great, the drinks were flavorful, and the Ensalada Duranguense and ribeye were fantastic. Just skip the tacos--and ask for Sarah if you visit!

Seriously? The food is mid, for sure. We've tried various items, from the steak nachos, guac, and more. The service is incredibly slow. To the point where each time I've had to literally seek out a server and ask if they've forgotten about our order. The servers are not familiar with the menu or common off-menu cocktails. I really wanted to live this place. It's down the street from my house, has awesome views, and has aspirations for being cool. But, the execution could not be any worse. I just don't get why they'd waste the opportunity they have when they've obviously invested so much.

I ordered the ceviche mixto (4.5/5), whose sauce provided a nice tang with a bit of spice (some peppercorn perhaps?). The baja fish taco (2.5/5), on the other hand, was disappointing. I tasted mostly the breading, which closely resembled a spice mix used in fried chicken, and the spicy sauce was quite overwhelming relative to the gentler, sweeter nature of the fish. On the plus side, the mayo accompaniment was quite lovely. I must say their tortillas were their best offering. Crunchy, light, and fresh. You could really taste the smokiness from the grill. All in all, their items are slightly on the pricier side for the value that is given.

So I said "well I'm just asking for a status of my order." First of all, I wasn't even talking to Cas and she didn't even know what was going on before she took it upon herself to yell at me. Kila, which was the person I was talking to originally was extremely friendly. She apologized for the delay and even offered us some pastry which we did not care for after Cas inserted herself into a conversation that had nothing to do with her.
