"Stopped in to check out the market and its offerings. Great selection of artisan foods from the Southwest including Monsoon Chocolates and Rancho Gordo beans, plus cookbooks, cookware and more! Excellent spot for unique gifts."

"Amazing hostess. A very friendly and warm welcome from the moment we walked in. We came to Alta Baja Market to have a brunch with our besties so the ratings may be benefiting from the company we shared. This is a market so you will find beans, spices, and a fabulous selection of Mexican wines (yes Mexico has wine regions ). The food is what I call a craft. I think the cook wants you to taste the subtle flavors and freshness. Not quite farm-to-table, but very close. She did mention flying to Mexico to pick up 300 lbs of Chiles. The chilaquiles are served in a bowl with tortillas so that you can taste the corn, the beans need a bit more salt. That seemed to be a common piece of feedback among the group. The French toast ordered by wifey was very tasty, the bread seemed to be a light egg brioche type. The corn pancakes are well-covered with oats and bananas. Overall we had a very satisfying meal."

"Well prepared and interesting menu choices, fresh ingredients. Also the best selection of tequila, mezcals, and Mexican wines I have found. Just wish it was open for dinner!"

"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"

"We tried the breakfast burritos, French toast, quesadillas, pinche miraz , and lentil chili with corn bread. Everything was delicious. Cute shop with lots of eclectic items for sale including spices and organic chocolate. Definitely worth coming to if you’re visiting downtown Santa Ana."
