LAist's Gab Chabrán has been visiting Santa Ana for decades and has always been impressed with the dynamism of the food available there, especially as it's often at a reasonable price that won't break the bank. Everything from tortas ahogadas, a specialty of Guadalajara, served from a food truck on an industrial road, to a Korean-owned establishment serving seriously delicious smashburgers, Santa Ana has something for everyone. Today on Food Friday, LAist’s own associate editor of food and culture Gab Chabrán is taking us to Santa Ana, figuratively of course, to share some of his favorite budget bites.
