El Indio Botanas y Cerveza

If you're ever wandering around downtown Santa Ana and craving something flavorful, El Indio Botanas y Cerveza is the spot that locals can't stop buzzing about. Tucked into 309 W 3rd St, this trendy, upbeat gem blends Mexican street food charm with a modern, laid-back vibe. It’s where casual meets cool, and the music? Always on point—think live DJs and those irresistible happy hour beats that pull you in without warning.

What really makes El Indio pop, though, is the food. The Tacos De Barbacoa are rich, tender, and layered with bold spices that make you close your eyes for a sec with every bite. Feeling adventurous? Try the Tostaditas De Tinga—crispy, saucy, and oh-so-satisfying. And for those who love to graze while chatting over beers, the Tacos De Canasta and Picaditas hit that perfect snackable note. You can also grab a hefty Torta if you’re in the mood for something a little more filling—perfect fuel before the DJ cranks it up.

The setting is all good vibes. Expect moderate noise levels, a mix of trendy crowds, and an atmosphere that invites you to linger longer than planned. Whether you're rolling in for a chill night out or diving into their happy hour specials, there's always something happening that makes you want to stay just one more round.

El Indio Botanas y Cerveza isn’t just a place to eat—it’s where Santa Ana’s flavor, rhythm, and soul come together in one seriously tasty spot.

Cocktails were delicious, bartender doesnt skimp out on the alcohol. Cute little outdoor area, and dance floor inside. Gets pretty lit starting 11pm. Got nachos was hella good.
