I frequent Hot-n-Chili all the time and the food is always excellent. The professionalism of the staff and servers make you feel pampered and well taken care of. My glass of water was never empty and I got my food within 15-20 minutes. I highly recommend this establishment. Great food!

Favorite place Inka Mama's in San Clemente! Their ceviche is the best I tried on the entire trip. All the food we ordered was very good and the service was attentive and professional. Highly recommended!Ask the service why all the ceiling lights have a green bulb, there is a funny story behind it ;)

Shawn Brown

If you’re craving soup, The Ramen Cafe is the place to go! This is our family’s go to place in South Orange County. Their food is extremely flavorful with excellent portions. The 50/50 broth is delicious! Most importantly, they are all just really great people!

Sara Orton

These were hands down the best açaí bowls I’ve ever had. They are INCREDIBLE. The fruit is fresh and the flavor is amazing. I got the “T -Street” and I added peanut butter and mangos and subbed out the honey for agave. 10/10 would recommend!! I’ll be back every time I’m in town!

Beverly Crisman


Los Patios food and service is fantastic! Service was off the charts! I strongly recommend this restaurant, I will be back...

Ashley Wilhelm

Had an amazing experience at Vedder’s! The gal working was so personable, let us sample, and explained what great ingredients are in the ice cream! It’s so amazing to find a place that has options for dietary restrictions and intolerances! 10/10 recommend the bananas foster, the cookie dough, and the strawberry flavors! The ice cream tastes so fresh! They have GF cookies as well that were very tasty!

EB.

Citrus & Co. This is the best GF (gluten Free) Bakery in San Clemente.

Oh My, Cinnamon Rolls, Cupcakes, Poptarts, Cakes, Woopie Pies and more. They are so AMAZINGLY GOOD!...

Before we used to drive to Arizona for find the best GF sweets. Now its down the street in Old Town!

L.C.

Andalusia's. This was a delicious Mediterranean dinner. Great find in downtown San Clemente. Food was so tasty and the portions very generous. We had the lamb kabobs, chicken taouk, and side of dolmen. These were the best dolmen I've tasted in some time. Hummus was so good I took the rest home even though that's all we had left. You've got to try this place.

About Orange County

Orange County is a county in Southern California, United States. Its county seat is Santa Ana. According to the 2000 Census, its population was 2,846,289, making it the second most populous county in the state

The state of California estimates its population as of 2007 to be 3,098,121 people, dropping its rank to third, behind San Diego County. Thirty-four incorporated cities are located in Orange County; the newest is Aliso Viejo. Unlike many other large centers of population in the United States, Orange County uses its county name as its source of identification whereas other places in the country are identified by the large city that is closest to them. This is because there is no defined center to Orange County like there is in other areas which have one distinct large city.

Five Orange County cities have populations exceeding 170,000 while no cities in the county have populations surpassing 360,000. Seven of these cities are among the 200 largest cities in the United States. Orange County is also famous as a tourist destination, as the county is home to such attractions as Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm, as well as sandy beaches for swimming and surfing, yacht harbors for sailing and pleasure boating, and extensive area devoted to parks and open space for golf, tennis, hiking, kayaking, cycling, skateboarding, and other outdoor recreation. It is at the center of Southern California’s Tech Coast, with Irvine being the primary business hub.

The average price of a home in Orange County is $541,000. Orange County is the home of a vast number of major industries and service organizations. As an integral part of the second largest market in America, this highly diversified region has become a Mecca for talented individuals in virtually every field imaginable. Indeed the colorful pageant of human history continues to unfold here; for perhaps in no other place on earth is there an environment more conducive to innovative thinking, creativity and growth than this exciting, sun bathed valley stretching between the mountains and the sea

in Orange County. Orange County was Created March 11 1889, from part of Los Angeles County, and, according to tradition, so named because of the flourishing orange culture. Orange, however, was and is a commonplace name in the United States, used originally in honor of the Prince of Orange, son-in-law of King George II of England.
