      The music is always good here. We enjoyed the tacos and the drinks as well for day of the dead event in downtown Santa Ana. Great for groups and to meet up with friends.

      First time coming to This place and the last time. This place is the most nastiest and dirtiest place to come too. Came here on Cinco de Mayo and The price for 2 Mexican shots on was ridiculous and the bartender forgot to add alcohol all for $26! While other places charged $5 a shot. Not only that this place has 1 bathroom it was disgusting and smelly. Overpriced for a crappy place. Go to Next round down the street way...definitely recommended!

      Price for 2 Mexican candy shots. So ridiculous especially when it was cinco de mayo

      Came here for taco Tuesday and this place has some delicious barbacoa tacos! Their margaritas are good too. Cool vibe with loteria ceramics randomly around. Service here is good. Definitely recommend. I plan on coming back

      This is a MUST when visiting Santa Ana each time I visit my friend in the area we ALWAYS plan a brunch here. The music is on point the servers are amazing and the food HITS. It's hard to find a place that has all three but Indio has it figured out 10/10 will be coming back again for my yearly visit

      4+ for the food
      3- for the esthetic
      I've heard this place is popular and fun in the evenings. They specialize in beer and Mexican bar food, which is really good.
      My friends and I were there for lunch at noon and it felt very divey. They had just opened and the staff was cleaning off the cold metal chairs and beat up black pleather couches in the dinghy alley dining patio, with smelly bleach water. There was no indoor seating available at this time. I was hesitant to stay but we had a group trickling in so decided to stay.
      One of my friends said he came here one night and his sister got hit with a chair by a drunk guy and they never came back again. Not sure what kind of crowd this place attracts.
      I must say though the food was good and priced well. Kuddos to the cooks!

      Best place in Downtown Santa Ana to have a good time
      Bartenders are friendly , respectful drinks are really good , DJ plays nothing but the best Mexican throwbacks growing up to whatever is in at the moment feels like your 5 years old at a party then boom your back playing your jams vibes are always good

      Went on a Thursday at 9 pm and it was dead but the band was setting up! Ordered botanas, was looking for artesian beers (Colimita, etc) but they only had the standard. recommend the tinga! People trickled in and the band played alternative Spanish rock which I loved! Had a great time, small, quaint!
