El Indio Botanas y Cerveza - (Near Santa Ana, CA)

angrybird16755 Always lived nearby but never tried until now and I was super happy to see how cute this place is! The food is good, the atmosphere is cozy and the staff are especially nice! Parking is a bit frustrating but it’s absolutely worth it. I got the pancake platter and my friend got the corned beef hash, which were both good. Pricing is also very fair and I would come back again!

Ahnjaelee This famous Filipino fast food chain is known for its crispy fried chicken internationally. I love their gravy not salty like kfc and it is the best for me. They also have the sweet spaghetti, burgers, pies, palabok, burger steak, halo-halo. Staff will always greet you upon coming in to the door. Good customer service, however, avoid going on peak hours or if you see long lines or long wait time. Dine in take out or online order and delivery also available. They accept cash or cards, plenty of parking at the plaza but never ever leave any valuables in your car if you dont want your windows smashed and things taken. Be cautious of the surrounding. How I wish they have a drive thru just like the ones in the Philippines.

Colleen MK A local sent us here, and wow — they weren’t lying. The burgers and fries hit like a reward from the food gods after days on the trail. Friendly staff, chill cook, and zero regrets (except not ordering two). Will 100% return when in the area!

Greg Morentin I got the giant chicken fried steak for 2. That thing is gigantic! Good for 4 people, at least 3, we only ate half of it.

Krystyn Azar Empanash is such a gem. Prices are fair for the area, and the empanadas are authentic and delicious! We tried the ground beef and the spicy chicken. I usually prefer ground beef, their spicy chicken was exceptionally good. Their chimichurri is a MUST. What really made the visit special was the service. Friendly and clearly proud of their food. They were sincerely appreciative that we stopped by, which was really heartwarming. The space itself is cozy too, with board games, books, and even a cute little nook for kids. We’ll definitely make a point to stop by whenever we’re in the area!

Melanie Schichtel The perfect breakfast stop for our road trip!! My father and I are traveling up to Washington and were looking for a little mom and pop spot for a hearty breakfast, and this place really delivered! We got the eggs with bacon, and eggs with sausage links, and both were large portions, more than we could finish. The eggs were cooked perfectly, biscuits were large and buttery, and the bacon was thick cut and perfectly cooked. They even have gluten free options (white bread, cornbread, and pancake) every day, but I didnt ask until after our meal was over, so I didnt try any of it. All of the servers were very attentive, whether it was their own section to serve or not, the food came out quick, got, and just to order. All in all, definitely a great place to stop, and worth a repeat meal!
