We ordered the da biggest mix plate shared it with 4 people and still had left overs to take home. We could have shared it it with 6. People. We are old (70+) so don't eat a lot so judge from there.
This is a great place for everyone to go. Especially if you want good island food, friendly staff and a cocktail even though I don't drink. Portions are great, caution order the Da biggest Mixed Plate with a few friends. Surprised a little that on a Saturday it was not as busy as it should be. More word of mouth and advertising. Nice family owned business.
This has become a regular dinner spot for my family when I come to visit my hometown of San Clemente. I love their food! The Mixed Plate is my new favorite…so much yummy meat and you get to choose three sides. I don’t know why there isn’t always a line out the door!
