Alta Baja Market

I love this place! The atmosphere is so calm and warm, and the food is amazing! I had the chili and cornbread and that cornbread is a must. I forgot to take a picture of my food because I ate it too fast but look at all the cute goodies you can browse and buy there!

The place is a slice of heaven! The Micheladas are fantastic. I had The Chismosa Micheladas and my wife had The Nopalito. Both were tasty and refreshing.

Food was fantastic. I had chilaquilez and they were amazing. A perfect combination of spice, flavor, and seasoning. My wife had the Lady Green Chile Eggchilada. The Eggchilada was delicious, a perfect combination of cheese, spices, and flavor.

The best part about the place is the service and people. Delilah and Gustavo are fantastic individuals and a pleasure to meet and chat about nothing and everything.

Been visiting this place multiple times and that day was the first day I ever ate at this place. The store is always clean stocked up and had that aesthetic where you are at a tienda. We got the blue corn cakes, the la llorona, cafesito iced of course and their Jamaica Palmer. Food was really good. The jalapeño sauce with the sandwich was really good it basically shredded chicken reminded me of a bit of chicken tinga with the salad on the side of course. The blue corn cakes is really crispy and savory. Reminds me of a latke. It comes with a side of salsa and crema. The service is great. Your instantly greeted when you arrive and the staff is super friendly really nice folks. They also check up on you to make sure your enjoying your time and of course your food. For dessert, ordered the French pudding it’s like a French toast but better. Very buttery but melts into your palettes. It’s not too sweet but with the right amount if you get what I’m saying. If you are in the area do check them out they have plenty of seats and next time will come try out the rest of their menu

Grabbed an incredible frittata lunch and passion fruit michelada on my way to the John Wayne airport as well as southwestern snacks and spices for gifts. There’s an incredible wine selection - too bad I’m not checking my luggage! Can’t wait to try the whole menu!!!

Great casual eatery with vegan options and plenty of merchandise.

This place is worth the drive for anyone in Southern California. Part grocery and part restaurant, it serves as a destination for food inspiration. Food here comes from heirloom varieties and artisan producers. You don’t have to wait to get home to enjoy because they serve amazing drinks and bites at the store. You will learn, you will be inspired, you will be glad you came.

The ONLY place to get amazing food and gifts by Southwest/ Mexican artisans and Wine makers. Alta Baja Market never disappoints.

Loved this place! Food was great, choice of unique beers were fun and tasty, service was fantastic, (she made great suggestions for food and wine) and she was so friendly and enthusiastic!
Price was a little over $100, BUT that was for lunch with my Neice and me, 4 unique beers (don't judge... my Neice is over 21) a bottle of wine to take home and a few goodies from the shop.
I just love places like this 😍 I'll be back ~ Don't let the construction in the area make you go elsewhere. Once inside, you won't notice at all.

Soooo good! You are missing out if you don’t stop by for some foodles. Great place. Super friendly. Professional. Clean. Relaxing atmosphere.

Best place ever for vegan/organic inspired creative breakfasts, sandwiches, and salads. There are big meaty options too -- try the Todo! Every detail of every dish and condiment is special and has its own story.

Alta Baja serves a very, very thoughtful menu. I am a regular because first and foremost on their mind is to serve uniquely delectable meals at a fair price.

Alta Baja is also a market with an eclectic mix of cooking and food items. Spend any time looking and I guarantee you'll find something you really want to have or at least try. Everything is unique unto themselves, from spice to rice, beans, pasta, and soups. From incense candles, eco friendly soaps/cleaners to chocolate covered crickets, you will find something you want. Did I mention the wines?

The atmosphere is chill -- excellent for coffee and a laptop or just an email cleanse from your phone. You can have Alta Baja's brew of coffee or import a cup from the barrista next door at Portola Coffee.

After noon, switch it to a craft beer on tap or mix it up with a Michelada. There are plenty of seats near open air, floor to ceiling screens at the corner of Bush St and 4th Ave.

You'll see,... it really is a great place to chill.

Always phenomenal. Great people making delicious and healthy food. One of a kind restaurant and market.

The Quinoa salad is delicious. I love their wine selection and how you can read in peace

This is a great place to purchase unique gifts! I’m coming back. 💯

Great michis, great pozole and a great vibe! Alta Baja is located in the heart of downtown Santa Ana and is home to one of the best rosters of Micheladas I have ever had. My favorite meal on the menu is their vegan pozole which is served the last Sunday of every month.

Alta Baja is open through construction through the 2022 year and beyond. This restaurant and market is authentic and delicious. I love to support this small business because I know that my every dollar is going to be supporting local, sustainable, and family run businesses. The owner, Delilah, and staff are incredibly caring and every time that I come here I leave feeling a bit happier. Please support this small business. Alta Baja is open through construction through the 2022 year and beyond.

I love this shop. Delilah, the owner, is super nice. She knows every product in her store like the back of her hand and will chat with you about any of them. Also, THE MICHELADAS!!!!! Come for the micheladas, stay for the grilled cheese with a micheladas. The menu is surprisingly large for a market like this, and the prices are very low for what you get. Highly recommend. Also, the beer selection is out of this world.

I bumped into this place with sheer luck and I am so glad I did. The owner, team understand hospitality. The Micheladas are solid and the food is amazing. Definitely a hidden gem worth a view.

this place is THE BEST for breakfast. their coffee is incredible, the cornbread served with freshly made in-house jams are insane, and the wine selection is top notch. the staff are also all really great people. truly one of my favorite places in all of orange county.

Colorful casual Mexican restaurant with delicious chilaquiles and micheledas. A must try if your are in downtown Santa Ana.

Alta Baja Market is the BEST!! They have delicious wholesome meals, high quality beverages and amazing customer service! My husband and I travel 30 miles to eat a great meal and then buy heirloom and hard to find quality products to take home.
