About Clandestino

Clandestino offers a delightful South American culinary experience in an upscale and vibrant setting. The menu boasts a diverse selection, including vegetarian and vegan options like the vegan nachos and bean salad. Standout dishes include the short rib empanadas with a perfect crust and tender meat, the Pozole soup, and the BEST CRABCAKES. The calamari and fajitas are also praised, and the squash blossoms remain a highlight. Guests often enjoy dining outdoors on beautiful nights, where the lively atmosphere and stylish ambiance create a welcoming environment. Many visitors appreciate the friendly and attentive staff, who go out of their way to ensure a first-class experience. The food is consistently delicious, with dishes like the chipotle shrimp fajitas and quesadillas with carne asada and carnitas receiving high praise.

Recent reviews highlight the amazing dinner experience, with guests mentioning the gorgeous patio with mountain views and warm, friendly service that makes the night special. The food, especially the short rib empanadas and squash blossoms, was described as fresh, creative, and thoughtfully prepared. The cocktails are also highly praised, with the bar staff showing expertise and skill. The overall vibe, flavors, and atmosphere are said to come together perfectly, making it a highly recommended spot for date nights, celebrations, or just treating oneself.

Some visitors mention that the outdoor heaters create a pleasant environment, even on cooler evenings. The food remains excellent, comparable to their sister location, and service is noted as superb, including attentive table leveling. However, there are occasional long waits between seating, ordering drinks, and food, especially when the bar staff is new or busy. The restaurant's location can be tricky to find, with entry off Barristo and no clear doorway until calling for directions. Despite these minor issues, Clandestino continues to be a favorite for many, offering a flavorful and enjoyable dining experience.
