"Sad news for Santa Ana diners down in Orange County: modern Filipino restaurant Irenia is going to close following service this weekend. In a letter sent out to customers today, owners Ryan Garlitos and partner Sarah Mosqueda say that they are moving on from the four-year-old restaurant with their heads held high. Irenia helped to transform Santa Ana into a standalone culinary destination, and helped to push forward a conversation about modern Filipino food that is still being had at places like Ma’am Sir and Lasa in Los Angeles." - Farley Elliott
