Nice restaurant. One of a kind, pretty neat art installations hung through out. Outside patio was big and looked comfy. I tried the best barbacoa tacos I've had. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Good evening folks, back at it again in down town Santa Ana @elindiobotanasycerveza small establishment with outside sitting. Good music, food and drinks. I order taco de chorizo and papa, al pastor and chicharron with green salsa. I love how they prepare the tortilla, fried a little bit to give it a greater taste. I also had a Paloma de pepino very refreshing.

Came for their Drag brunch and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of their food. The green chilaquiles and their barbacoa were amazing. I'll definitely be going back. The drag show was very entertaining all 3 queens put on a good show. I know one of them and I was quite impressed with the other two drag queens.

I attended a friend’s birthday party. The atmosphere was fantastic, especially considering it was past 9 pm and the party had just begun. While I didn’t order food, I was thoroughly impressed by the extensive selection of tall cans of beer. The bartenders were incredibly skilled at taking orders, and the crowd grew steadily throughout the night. Overall, I had a great time and would highly recommend this place. I would definitely go back again.

This is truly a gem, a place where friends and family or complete strangers can come together for good eats or a cool beer. Not to mention the great choices of mix drinks or straight up shots. The food is excellent, comfort food just like abuelas cooking! Music is always on point, DJs spin a variety of music and if you're lucky you might be in for a surprise comedy show! My wife brought me here to celebrate our anniversary, Let me tell you from experience you will become a regular. This place should be a staple for down town Santa Ana.
