“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 meal, and Thank you Rebecca, for helping a family member feel normal after tragedy. You are in our prayers“

“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!“

“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.“

“Stopped in for lunch on a Friday. Delicious food, great service and a fun atmosphere. The grown ups enjoyed a beer and a margarita. The food was great!

My daughter’s favorite part was the reel alligator skin on the wall!

Will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Great food and service. Was very impressed to see all workers wearing gloves and masks. Other restaurants need to follow your example. These are uncertain times and every precaution is necessary. I want to help support local businesses but if they don't protect both staff and workers, I won't be back. Kudos to you Guichos!❤“

“Came here with a group of 4 around **7:30 PM**. We ordered three different ramens, a fried chicken, a BBQ bun, one Coke, and three waters.

The ramen was good, but I especially liked the **fried chicken and BBQ bun**. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, and the bun was tasty as well. Overall, we had a good dinner and enjoyed the food. 🍜🍗“

“Great music venue! We had a blast playing here Mother's Day for Kim and her outstanding team. Thanks, Barnoa!“

“Pretty happy with this place after grabbing it to go order for the family. Fried rice had all the right flavors and wasn't too greasy, spring rolls made the kids happy, and the yellow curry was just great. We will be back again and will bring the extended family.“

“Wow! Super yum to say the least. It’s always great when the new local restaurant hits it out of the park! My wife & I started with the bacon & meatballs appetizer. She then had the fried green tomatoes & French onion soup while I had the ribeye. Delicious!“

“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.“

“Great food! Great service! Awesome people! Love it!“

“My daily simple lunch for remote work offers many options for a pescatarian/vegetarian. Clean, organic, and delicious!!! 🙌🏾👏🏾👍🏾“

“I went here for a quick coffee stop and to check out this place as an out of tow visitor to Cali! I first ordered a drip coffee but switched to an Americano due to them being out. This caused an error on the computer where the manager ended up just giving me my coffee for free. I really appreciated that gesture and love the vibe of this place! I will definitely pay it forward and continue to come here. The espresso was delicious! There was no wait and I was greeted upon entry by the barista. Would highly recommend 🫶🏼“

“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!!“

“Wahoos has the best Outer reef burrito! Their chips salsa and guacamole are so good too. For a short time the serving size went down but they corrected it and back to good portion’s again so I wanted to give them a good review! I highly recommend Wahoo’s! 🤙“

“I didn't expect this Gigantic calzone and I'm almost embarrassed to say that I ate it all but it was so delicious I just couldn't help my self. Such a friendly staff i got the meatlovers on her recommendation. Such a great view just across the beach. A perfect way to end a beach long beach day.“

“Awesome food!! Been visiting (I’m from Chicago) since my daughters family moved to CA and discovered in 2008. I love the Mama Avila soup, very hearty and so delicious. There’s nothing that I’ve tried that I didn’t like. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Their cheesesteaks tasted exactly like in Philadelphia. I’m not a big expert, but seems like they make it with real food given that price was more or less reasonable took them to 10 minutes to get it to me, but they’re actually did it from scratch so makes sense. Very pleasant lady working there I wish for luck I guess as much as we could say about fast food place, but I enjoyed it“

“Wanted to give a shout out to Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt in San Clemente by Walmart. I went in to grab gift cards. I needed 5 $5 cards for party favors for my daughter's birthday. They were out of gift cards. The gentleman working there must have been the owner. He asked how many I needed. I said 5. He said today is your lucky day, opened his wallet and GAVE ME 5 gift cards for $5 each FOR FREE! Seriously, who does that?! I wish I had gotten his name. Wow Wow Wow. I will forever be grateful and def make sure we go there for yogurt. Thank you Menchie's!“
