  taco bout some mighty fine gourmet deliciousness at this establishment!
  
  I'm usually not a fan of gourmet tacos because 1 they are severely overpriced and it just feels bad when you can go to a local taco place and pay $1 and 2 they usually don't taste that great. HOWEVER, Fleenors creates some amazing awesomeness here. The flavor profile was out of this world good! They didn't skimp on the meat either, I was left feeling so so satisfied.
  
  Chicken Taco -- full of flavor, bursting with spice with an onion coleslaw. It just explodes in your mouth in a very unexpected way.
  
  Carne Asada Taco -- the most tender Carne Asada you've ever had. Cooked perfectly at a nice medium rare and bursting with juiciness. Combining the steak with the pickled onions made a super flavorful and unique taco!

  We got together with a group of six for our bi monthly adventure out. We bring our own wine and enjoy each other's company.  The restaurant is small and the seating was cramped. The service was good, but the food has some work to be done.  The  tempura fried cauliflower appetizer was just ok and uninspiring. The crispy rice poke was tasty and a nice twist with the crispy rice on the bottom.  I ordered the wagyu burger with portobello mushroom. I ordered the burger medium rare and it came out more on the medium side. Still juicy and flavorful.  My friend ordered the bone in pork chop and unfortunately it was not what we expected. The chop was dry and over cooked.  We should have sent it back, didn't. (nothing like playgrounds amazing chop)
  
  They have some work to do and in talking with management they will be coming out with another menu shortly.  It's all about consistency here and getting things were they need to be. Maybe time will give them rhythm to find their groove and make everything come together.  The service was good and attentive.

  The name "Fleener", has meant much behind the scenes within a broad and  ongoing art and cultural development scene of nearly three decades, and  a newly-urbanizing downtown Santa Ana focusing on the emergence of a vital arts district near the Orange County Civic Center called The Artists Village with artists, galleries, work-space studios, and theaters that are helping reinvigorate and expand From a ten-block urban experience like no other in Orange County.
  
  With it came  Patricio Dillon and "Trattoria Ciao" on 3rd Street, a charming, stylish, Argentine-Italian bistro,, and Poncho's," on Broadway,near 4th Street, with traditional and popular Mexican classics, and historic landmark "POP's Cafe" on 9th, Street, two steps east from Street,  Main, famous for Belgian waffles, pancakes, and real maple syrup among the recommendations one might make mid 1980's in downtown Santa Ana at that time. Only that was there there to feed a hungry soul, or a juror that had driven from anywhere else to serve community legal responsibility in Orange County's Civic Center! There were few eateries and eating places on a short list one could brag about!
  
  The area is now alive with new restaurants, coffee houses, plazas, and artists and art! Some of which are in gourmet kitchens with outdoor gardens, historic facades, breezeways, and fountains, public art!
  
  All  areas 4th has grown! Historic architectural character, urban energy and style, good art, XLNT food!

  Came to this little place in the heart of Downtown Santa Ana for a Quick meet up with a couple of friends. We sat in the patio and were seated very quickly. We ordered the lamb pozole, poke on a rice cake and salmon.... the food was amazing!! Super light, full of flavors. The pozole with garbanzo instead of the harmony was amazing and totally wasn't expecting it to be so darn good.  The salmon came with a green sauce maybe not sure of maybe spinach with other veggies, it was amazing... it came with ginger chips and yucca omfg delish!!  
  I recommend this little place. The servers were kind, talkative and attentive.
