The food options here have unfortunately changed at a fairly rapid pace in the years since covid, and it seems that with the exception of the taco and pizza places that now share a kitchen and service counter, that trend may continue.The food available is usually really good, but it seems like the vendors need a bit more business than they currently receive. Hopefully the construction finishing soon on 4th Street will help a lot.Love this place most for the barcade upstairs and it's Thursday night trivia.Parking: There are a couple paid parking structures and street spaces available, with the easiest option being caddy corner to McFadden public market on main between 4th and 5th streets. None of the options are particularly expensive.

Ended up at Mission Control for some barcade time (since the Twisted Tiki couldn't accommodate our large party), so we didn't eat this trip. I've had chicken at one of the shops before, and since the last time I was here, they opened up several more places which is a plus. Everything smelled good so I can't wait to come back and try the food. The overall vibe was nice for a Sunday evening, not dead or crowded. Mission Control vibes were kind of a let down, not bad, but I'll write a separate review for that. As a food hall, the tables could be cleaner, not sure if that's each vendor's problem or the whole facility, but I'd recommend hiring a facility-wide bussing/custodial team to give it a more elevated experience.

This is an interesting place with a lot of cool little eateries. I love establishments like this, because you can get multiple items and create your own meal.

Found this gem this week. Got to try Mama musubi. They have some of the best musubi in Santa Ana. Honestly some of the Best Hawaiian Food in Orange County. Had some of their beer from Harland Brewery. Super refreshing. The staff is super friendly as well. Definitely coming

They have a great Taco place. Perfect for Taco Tuesdays with the family, very affordable with an arcade on the 2nd floor. They also have karaoke 6-10pm on Taco Tuesday.P.s. there's a hidden Tiki Bar behind the Bamboo wall on the 1st floor for adults only. Small maybe 16 person bar, but they have amazing drinks. Like ALL of them. Ask about the stampcard for returning customers. They give you a free tiki mug for trying all their drinks!!!!Tuesday is also Tiki Tuesday, and it's happy hour all night!!! Best and affordable cocktails in DTSA.

Had the Korean fried chicken sandwich. It was bomb. Great mix of spicy, sweet and fried. You can actually mess up frying something and this chicken was fried really well where it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside without being oily.The tots were also fried perfectly, and that's weird to say for tots, but they were super enjoyable. They did them well. Also, super generous with the portion sizes We got our eat on before going upstairs to play our hearts out in pinball. Highly recommend them.
So if you look up some places in the McFadden marketplace, they are no longer there. That's why I gave you the three stars. Yes the mission bar is amazing night upstairs and I've been to the tiki lounge. That's really fun to drinks are a little pricey, but they are delicious so three stars are going to those two places that I've eaten. Everything else is either clothes are not even there.

In general finally decided to go back here since it's been a while. Went to Mission Control but the vibe was loud. Didn't have cash to get change to play some games. Ended up getting food at Wings and Tings. Had chicken tenders and tots and lemonade. Then went to Twisted Tiki. Got a shareable drink and it was super delicious. Looking forward to coming back.

No available parking. I went behind it and every spot had a NO PARKING sign. We left. Probably won't ever go back. It's a cluster to drive the entire area.
