Her food is delicious. If you would rather sit down at a table to dine, then Santa Ana has plenty of other options. The next favorite Mexican cuisine place is Baja Fish Tacos followed by El Gallo Giro. Tapas and Spanish food are found at Lola Gaspar. The city has a number of Asian places so you'll find great Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Korean and probably not too far from your Santa Ana apartment.

Lizzie, Lizzie

There are loads of place to find nightlife in Santa Ana so it will just depend on what you're looking for. The Lizzie Saloon is a bit of everything - straight, gay, pool hall, mini disco and more. It's usually crowded and has so many fans that sometimes it is hard to get into, but try it. The Fling is a decent dive bar, and The Olde Ship is a good sports bar.
