Great Birria tacos and specialty tequila cocktails! Smokey Pineapple was delicious
Came for lunch with my gran about a month after my grandfather passed. It was my gran's first outing since the funeral and i was worried but our server was this adorable silver haired woman named Rebecca. She had my Gran laughing the whole time. We ordered combos and the suggested jalapeño watermelon margaritas, which were spicy and refreshing. We needed a nap afterwards because we were too stuffed! My gran won't stop asking when we can go back. Thank you South of Nicks for lovely...read full review

South of Nick's San Clemente | Mexican Kitchen + Bar offers delicious food, with standout dishes like shrimp taquitos, pork carnitas, and Cabo shrimp, which many guests find outstanding. The chips and salsa to start are awesome, featuring a sweet and refreshing salsa made with diced tomato and onion. The service is generally great, and while the staff is kind and thoughtful, there can be busy times when they seem slightly overwhelmed. The atmosphere is lively, especially on the left side of the restaurant where the long, active bar and kitchen create a vibrant setting. This makes it a perfect spot for celebrating special occasions or simply enjoying a good meal. Main dishes like the Seafood Enchiladas are cooked to perfection, featuring a sweet green sauce that complements the lobster and shrimp inside. The sea bass is considered the best anywhere, and the Margaritas are top notch. For dessert, churros con helado, butter cake, and a fantastic special occasion chocolate cake are perfect ways to finish a meal. Guests also enjoy the bean dip with the chips, which is very good. Although some have noticed smaller portions of beans and rice and an increase in prices, South of Nick's remains a highly recommended place for delicious food, friendly service, and a warm vibe.
