  2. Rank 2. Lola Gaspar

    Mexican

    Downtown Santa Ana gastropub where Chef Luis Perez's streamlined menu—handmade tortillas, masa-based quekas, churros—reflects a deliberate turn toward quality. Grilled tomato and dried chili salsa tops tacos filled with carnitas and shrimp; vegan mushroom quekas come with confit potatoes and guacamole, cheese optional. The editing is ruthless, the execution isn't.

  12. Rank 12. Rasarumah

    Malaysian

    Chef Johnny Lee's Malaysian kitchen greets you with a battery of sambals and moves into shareable plates of pork jowl satay, charred okra, and beef rendang that arrives in a deep, creamy curry with buttery roti. The prices sit above neighborhood casual, but the portions and technique justify it—this is cooking that respects ingredients and tradition without apology.

  13. Rank 13. Tomat

    Californian New American

    A pale-green dining room dressed in rust-leather banquettes sets the stage for seasonal cooking that takes shape as evening falls. The kitchen moves deftly through local produce—charred vegetables nested in ajo blanco, a Liberty Farms duck split and crisped, dressed with pomegranate-walnut mole—and closes with sticky toffee pudding and burnt-milk gelato. The effect is farm-direct without the fuss.

  14. Rank 14. Redbird

    Contemporary

    A converted church in Downtown with soaring ceilings and two circular bars draws a boisterous crowd trading small plates and cocktails under the open roof. The global menu balances playful invention—Meyer lemon tart with blueberry frozen yogurt—against grounded dishes like John Dory in leek fondue, each confident in its own register.

  18. Rank 18. Bar Sawa

    Edomae Sushi

    A basement omakase reached by spy-thriller directions—down a hidden elevator to a sleek counter where edomae traditions reign. Fish arrives from Japan, nigiri stays spare and bright, and playful detours like shredded scallop roll and uni-topped squid prove the kitchen isn't bound by doctrine alone.

  20. Rank 20. Agnes Restaurant & Cheesery

    American

    You enter through a cheesery lined with bottles, past owners who understand that good food begins with good cheese and wine. The open hearth commands the room while the kitchen cycles through fried chicken with sambal honey and house-made pastas that taste like they know their source.
