“The best açaí I’ve ever had. And I’m from Brazil and know what a good and authentic açaí is! And the service at this place is outstanding! Our attendant Bryan was very kind and attentive with our order! Loved it! Thank you!“

“We were visiting friends in San Clemente and had dinner at Vine Restaurant & Bar. The service was outstanding and the food was delish. Great experience“

“Super Bowl Express has been one of my go-to spots in San Clemente for years and after today I had to leave a review.

Not only is the food consistently amazing, but the people there genuinely care about their customers. Joo, the owner, is one of the kindest business owners I’ve met and went completely above and beyond for us today. Martha was also incredibly welcoming and took amazing care of us.

The spam musubi is hands down the best in town, the beef bowls are unreal, and the Korean ribs are always a must order. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and consistent every single time.

Highly recommend supporting them if you haven’t been already.“

“Just had a fantastic lunch at HotnChili! The garlic naan was so yummy. We also had the chicken tiki masala & the tandoori chicken. It was all delicious & served quickly. We will be back! 💯💞💞💞💞“

“Excellent bakery with indoor and outdoor seating, quieshe(spl?) Lorraine was excellent as was the pecan sticky bun, both came warmed and fresh. Really good. Would love to head back. They greeted me as soon as I walked in, had my order ready by the time I actually placed and paid for it at the counter and brought it out almost immediately.“

“Went there for the first time the other day—great service and delicious food. Levi was our waiter, and he was extremely professional, courteous, and a true gentleman, which really made the experience special. We ordered the Beach Fire cheeseburger and the brisket sandwich, and both were excellent. The menu looks great overall, and I’ll definitely be back to try more items.“

“Cookies galore, if you want a cookie, look no more, this confectioners hole in the wall is one of my girlfriend's favorite sweet tooth cures. Small but worth standing in the line of sweet-heads, who all know: Crumbl is the G.O.A.T. 🍪“

“Service and location are both great. Not 100% sure but I went there tonight and my stomach is not feeling great at all. My wife got the grilled cheese since she doesn’t eat red meat. She’s fine, but I was up all night. Posting to see if anyone else had the same issue. Practically sleeping in the bathroom tonight.“

“Good people good times good beer. A+“

“Out of all the quick food places in San Clemente and Oceanside (where we stay), Billy’s is the only one we consistently crave and it is always the best! Authentic deli vibe and delicious food. Feels like a true North End style east coast deli.“

“Anyone who comes to San Clemente should check out this coffee shop .An incredible combination and synergy of top notch customer service , robust / organic coffee ,and atmosphere make it Rapport.“

“My wife and I go there about once a week. The ice cream is so good that there can be a line out the door on a cold day. The girls that work there are mostly friendly until it gets close to closing time. However Sunny is friendly at all times and has the greatest smile. South Swell also caters and its a favorite at wedding receptions. I highly recommend!“

“Was recommended by a friend to check this place out on our trip in California. We got there when they opened, so we were served immediately. Our waiters were super friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. Wish they had a little bigger of a menu selection, but the food is amazing regardless!“

“delicious breakfast best hashbrowns ever!“

“I got a staff favorite double rainbow bowl, the fruit was fresh(mango from the whole fruit not frozen!?), granola crunchy, honey drizzle sweet and açaí base cold. They have seasonal fruit options (raspberries this time) that looked to be from
local/farmers market judging by the boxes the girl in the back was washing them from. Lots of options for changing the bowl’s base and toppings. Good music and attentive service. There are also some baked goods, coffee drinks, and merchandise, overall a fun little place to stop in!“

“This is very much a classic diner the food is quick to arrive delicious and well prepared and almost so beautiful to look at but you feel bad eating it… You stop feeling bad after the first bite then you start to feel wonderful thinking that there’s no possible way you could ever put an end to this joy. I ordered the cheeseburger with fries and let me tell you each bite welcome the next they have wonderful parking outdoor dining and like I said before a classic feel. This is definitely one of those places you wanna come back to.“

“Moulin in San Clemente is this adorable French bistro that's totally transporting. The vibe's cozy and it feels like a mini getaway. We sat outside and it was perfect, beautiful sunny day and the outdoor seating is gorgeous. I went for the omelette special with mushrooms and French ham and it hit the spot, eggs were perfect and the flavors were great. My wife loved the Croque Monsieur sandwich. Customer service was outstanding, the staff were super friendly and on point. Oh, and the fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing! They've also got this cute little market thing going on which was a nice touch. If you're in San Clemente, Moulin is a solid pick for a chill French meal. We'll be back.“

“Wonderful, Fresh Fish!! Best Macaroni Salad & Sesame Slaw!! Great Vibe!!! San Clemente!!“

“I will say this place is amazing I’ve been very happy with every bite of my Baja beef wrap I had the spinach tortilla as my wrap and the secret sauce as my condiment and I can’t recommend it enough the outdoor seating area was perfect for socializing and enjoying the weather. The flavor is perfect with portion and I ordered the small size drink which for my weight loss goals was ideal!!“

“A friend recommended this place for great burgers. When we walked in , we weren't even sure if they served food, but the food is amazing! Onion rings are so good and their hamburgers are made with angus beef. I would go back here again, and again, and again.“

“We were really impressed with the Picnic Cafe who we hired for a recent event. Their lavish grazing board was gorgeous and they did all the set up and take down which made the process super seamless. It’s definitely a wow moment if you’re looking for something a bit more creative than average catering for your event!“
