The best Salsa you will ever have!
Impeccable service, friendly and compassionate staff! Was with my 5 yr old boy who had the best time at their patio as well.

Loved the food! Thank you to George for the fantastic nachos and to Victor our server and Angel our busser, friendly and checked on us every few minutes with a smile! Very accommodating and fabulous atmosphere! We are from Az. and a gal we met in Huntington Beach told us to try it! She was right best Mexican food ever!

Loved the servers, the drinks were strong but not to much. The food came out hot and was delicious. Also loved the decorations. Came for our honeymoon. Had the pork tamales/ beef enchiladas with beans and rice. My husband had fish taco/fish enchiladas with beans and rice. I also had 2 shots, strawberry margarita and orange margarita. Plenty of food. Will definitely be back. Thank you. All of you were great.

Oceans front. Great margs. Great chips. Reminds me of Coconuts in Cozumel but a smidge more traffic.

Love that this Family owned restaurant is still operating since the days when President Nixon used to to dine here! Very unique vibe that you will not find anywhere in San Clemente / Dana Point area. Love the Guacamole and the Tequila that they make just for this Restaurant 😎🤙🏽

Cute cantina, but the food was disappointing, the margaritas had no kick, the guacamole and salsa were bland, and the tacos were mediocre at best. But, it was within walking distance of our hotel.

It's okay, but not more. The food is nothing special. I didn't like the shrimp cocktail. Very watery and sweet. Too pricy for what I got. Less then 5 shrimps in number and didn't taste fresh.
The value for money used to be good. These times are over.
