The sauces and favors were the best we have tasted since our last trip to Oaxaca and Mexico City. our favorite dishes... More

I did my homework on reviews of restaraunts on our weekend get-a-way to San Clemente. Nick's and South of Nick's was the top 2, and because South of Nick's was a 5 minute walk from our motel, I made reservations for 5:00. Upon checking in to our motel, the girl recommended it, too!

Having enjoyed Nick's on our last visit we were looking forward to trying this restaurant.

From greeting to departure, the staff has been trained well. Bravo. Bartender offered me tastes of different beers, hostesses were friendly. The food was excellent and priced well. The dishes were a good mix of Mexican flavors with some quirks. All ingredients tasted like they were top quality. Will visit again for sure.

Although its a Mexican restaurant , it's more of fusion cuisine with a Mexican taste.Affordable and also classy with a nice ambience. Great seafood choices. If you are looking for your average Mexican cantina style menu, you have come to the wrong place.

the interior is awesome, as is the friendly knowledgeable staff, the food is very delicious and creative. the lighting, the seating and many beautiful details makes this someplace you just want to experience again.

A little twist to your traditional Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious, wonderfully prepared, and presentation delightful. The menu has a lot of seafood choices which make it tough to decide, don't worry you can't go wrong! Don't let the class of this restaurant turn you away because the price is affordable. A great dining experience at an affordable price.
