4th Street Market

Walk through 4th Street Market and you may think, at first, that this food hall is on the small side. But there's plenty packed into the Santa Ana market, including a dozen vendors serving everything from viral cream buns to Nashville-style hot chicken and Thai-style Hainan steamed chicken. First, though, you need to stop by Alta Baja Market, a specialty food store and deli that highlights the flavors of California, Mexico and the American Southwest. An outdoor patio hosts occasional bands, while Recess by Playground invites visitors to kick back with some craft beer or a glass of wine.
