Recently had a family lunch here, the day after my daughter's wedding. There were about 8 of us. We were seated right away in a decent place inside. (It was 6/27 so not a good time of year to sit outside LOL) The drinks were great. Food came out quickly and perfect sized portions. Our server, Nicolette, was absolutely lovely. She had amazing energy and a lovely laugh that was endearing. She was super attentive and helpful. The decor is fun and very beach themed. It was a pleasant experience all around and will definitely go again when I am back in town. **the salsa is a little lackluster but the chips were yummy, so feel like we broke even with that. read more

Excellent service, fantastic food! It's a great little Mexican spot right off the beach in the little downtown area.

have a quick lunch and this one was nearest to our stay. We had Burrito and fajita and we were very happy with our meal. Chips and salsa was great too. Nice ambience, great food and good service. Definitely recommending. read more

I love this restaurant. I have been going here for years. The big issue is that they do NOT staff it effectively. I often sit at the bar to eat my dinner. As a single guy, I don't want to take up a table that can be used for larger parties. This is a big handicap for me. Do NOT sit at the bar. You will wait forever to get service. The bartender works her butt off but she also has to take care of the service bar. If you go to Clancy's be prepared to wait...wait...and wait. I love the place. I love the food. Great staff. But when a person has to BEG to order food and pay their bill, that leaves a very bad taste in a person's mouth. Mine to be exact. read more

Clancy's cantina has great Tex mex food and it's not overpriced! Outdoor and indoor seating! Our server Christian was very polite and helped us with some recommendations! The chips and salsa had a nice bite to it with a heavy flavor of tomato! We ordered Tacos pastor and shredded chicken taco. Baja blackened Mahi taco as well as chipotle shrimp taco! We wanted to try one of each!Each taco was unique and well put together! Lots of flavor in each bite! We will visit Clancy's again! read more

If we could, we would give this a negative star review. My husband and I stopped in and asked for an outside table because we had our dog with us. The girl at the desk said it would be a 20 minute wait even though there were many tables available. I was about to leave when she told me to pick a table and she would bring us menus. We ordered our drinks and wanted to place a takeout order. We were told they were all out of takeout boxes. He cane back and said he was able to find two small boxes if we still wanted to order. E placed our order and he told us it would 25 mins. After 40 minutes he came and told us it would just be another minute. 30 minutes later we still had nothing. My husband went in and asked for the bill for our drinks only. Amazingly our server came out with our order. When I called him on the wait he tried to say he told us there would be a twenty five minute wait. I told him that we were fine with that. It was when he told us it would be out in a-minute and we still had no food after 30 minutes that we had a big issue with. We paid the bill and went back to our hotel. When we opened the bag one of the orders looked like it was someone elses leftovers. It was missing one of the enchiladas and there was limp lettuce, salsa juice and remnants from another item. My husband went back and asked to speak with the manager. My husband introduced himself politely to the manager and his response was "what do you want?" My husband tried to explain our experience and he grabbed the container of food and threw it in the garbage. He was rude and completely out of line. As a manager he had zero people skills and definitely poor managerial skills too. Please do yourselves a favor and avoid this restaurant at all costs!!! After looking at this site I see they also had food violations. My recommendation is to steer clear of this place! read more

My wife and I took a short vacation to New Smyrna Beach and while shopping through the Main Street came upon this Mexican restaurant. The outside patio was covered and temperature was tolerable, while the Monday margaritas special was cold, so we partook of both. Samantha took our drink order and promptly returned with two margaritas and two waters. We then ordered the chicken and shrimp fajitas which were the perfect size for two,. It came with the beans, rice, lettuce, cheese and sour cream to adorn the home made hand held tacos. The chips and house made salsa was flavorful. All, in all a pleasant experience. read more

I always look at my yelp reviews before choosing a restaurant. After eating at Clancys im throughly surprised by the ratings. The salsa wasn't my favorite there wasn't much kick to it, but the chips were good. I came during happy hour and got their $5 margs. Frozen or on the rocks with lots of flavors. I ordered strawberry. I had like 3-4 and they were good. Also ordered chimichangas which were delicious the frying was done perfectly. The rice wasn't my Super Mexican inspired but still was decent. The steak nachos were amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly. Ordered the brownie for dessert which was really moist. I sat outside, and it was so nice to eat outside and feel the breeze. read more

Where do I start... some type of worm or maggot in our food. See for yourself and you tell me what it looks like. The waitress brushed it off and said "oh that's just cheese". We waited 45 minutes and the portions are that for a kid size meal. Super tiny but with an adult entree price. I will never go back again!! ESPECIALLY WHAT TOPPED IT OFF WAS MY DAUGHTER FINDING THEM AT THE END OF HER MEAL. NOW WE HAVE TO BE WORRIED THAT SHE WONT GET SICK FROM IT. It's also funny. I looked at some of these reviews and somebody had a cockroach in their soup and the server did the same thing the server did to us try to convince us it was not but look at the picture for yourself and you will see. I've already reported them to the health department read more

enchiladas were great and service was fantastic! shout out to Karl for the amazing service!!

The good was good. The thing that really makes this place nice is the location to the beach. The decor was great and the house made hot sauce was also really good. The drinks were not left wanting, they made a good drink. Food was about average for a Mexican place. read more

Stopped in after the beach for lunch. Great find. The service was spot on. Nice outdoor seating as well as indoor. Not too hot on patio. Salsa was a standout. Ordered the tacos which were favorable. Definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. We were visiting friends in the area and they recommended Clancy's, easy to see why. Nice location right near the beach. They had some great vegetarian options too which is not always a given. Will definitely go back when we visit our friends again! read more

This was the worse food ever. The chips were soggy and I ordered a wet burrito without rice or veggies, they brought basically a dried out folded over soft taco with some dried melted cheese. It wasn't rolled or wet. I sent it back and they put some "dried chili" under some melted cheese and brought sauce on the side and said that's how their wet burritos come. It tasted terrible and I was only able to stomach a few bites and just left the rest. read more

The food was way over priced and all the portions look like a kids meal, there are many more Mexican restaurants in new symnra that are better than this. read more

Wow. Been going to Clancy's for 20 years. This is what a grilled chicken taco has been reduced to. We ordered 5 tacos. This was part of a sad $90 to go order after a really long two weeks at work. Taco Bell gives more chicken than this sad example from your restaurant. Owners should want to know so the people preparing your family recipes don't disappoint other customers. read more

Service was terrible not busy at all took 35 min for food. Chips stale salsa has to caned. Food tasters like microwave food . When a review states 3.5 . Run. There are two other places with in blocks the serve way better food . Taco Bell is better. read more

The food was great! The staff were very engaging which made the experience very pleasing.

Margaritas not in a Margarita cup! Nachos ok. Wasn't impressed with food either. Service ok, not busy at lunch for a Saturday but took longer than normal. Server was nice not his fault. read more

Really good Mexican food with even better service! We stopped here with a party of 7 in the pouring rain and were sat immediately. The service was incredible with both our food and drinks showing up within minutes of ordering them. We ordered the queso to start and it was so good we ordered a 2nd order. The chips and salsa were also really good by themselves, and our server kept them coming throughout the meal. I ordered the coconut shrimp, which was a bit too thick on coconut strips for me. Otherwise it was a nice light fry and large shrimp. For my meal I ordered the cheese enchiladas which had an ancho chili sauce that was good, and came with rice and beans that were also tasty. Everyone in our group seemed to enjoy their food, and I would definitely come back! read more

Horrible. 1 star overall, but the poor waitress did her best to make up for the lack of management attention. My wife and I went there for dinner. I ordered one beef taco, refried beans, extra lettuce, no sour cream. I got two tacos, black beans, no lettuce, and sour cream. My wife ordered chicken enchiladas that were late to the table. When delivered, they were cheese enchiladas, not chicken. The replacements were so late she just got them to go. The tab was wrong, and I had to send it back for correction. I tipped the waitress at 25% of the full meal value in cash - it wasn't her fault. They were not busy at that time. We won't ever go back. read more

We stopped for appetizers while we were doing the NSB Wine Walk. We sat outside & it was such a festive atmosphere. There was a one man kettle drum player. The food was better than expected. I ate here years ago & it wasn't good. Based on how good the appetizers were, we will definitely try it again for dinner. The Service was excellent. It was Attentive but not rushed. The guacamole was perfect. It was not over seasoned & tasted so fresh. The hot wings were delicious. There was a lot of meat on the wings. Hot is spicy but not painful. The jalapeño poppers were great. Not too hot. They uniquely were served on a stick. (I wish we ordered 2 servings of the poppers!) read more

Guacamole was bland. Food was expensive for Mexican. Margarita was OK. If in NSB and wanting Mexican food, try Mi Mexico

Clancy's is always our go to when visiting NSB! We have had nothing but great service, delicious food, and wonderful drinks every time we visit. The flautitas are a must try. Paired with a marg and you will be one happy camper! Don't miss out on this NSB gem. read more

First time at Clancys Cantina in new Smyrna and dropped in for lunch on a Tuesday. Much to my excitement, this was taco Tuesday! Tried their hard beef tacos with a side of rice and beans. Very enjoyable and very filling. I really liked their salsa and chips and the flavor of their salsa was excellent! I would definitely come here again during another beach journey and this looks like a great place to have margaritas and maybe guacamole too. Look forward to coming back another day! read more

We've been going to Clancy's for years during our annual visits. It has steadily gone downhill, unfortunately. This last visit will be our last. Service was not great. She took our order twice?? And our food was cold and took far too long for the deserted restaurant. It feels like a NSB staple but is really just a tourist trap and not worth it. Visit La Fiesta or Tin & Taco instead. read more

It was ok just ok. We sat outside because inside was just too loud. Mind you it was nice that they had live music but here would have been no way to speak. The waitress was not the best but she tried hard. It took us a little long to even get water. I Was about to get up when she came over they give out salsa and chips so that was nice. I was able to get plain grilled chicken and steamed broccoli so i was happy. Soft and hard tacos for the rest of the family. It was not a place I would run back to. read more

Prices were high. Food less than authentic. I am from California and know real Mexican food. This was less than desirable. We got the beef soft tacos and grilled chicken tacos. Cheese dip. Rice and beans. The rice is straight out of a microwave and taste horrible. The rice has an after taste. Avoid it. The beans are a slab thrown on your plate. The tacos were the only things ok. Order the grilled chicken a la carte if you even go here. I just wouldn't ever go here again to be honest. Oh the water with a slice of lemon was worth my money. Food was just horrible. Our server, she was nice tho. The end. Avoid this joint. read more

This Mexican restaurant has such a fun vibe to it, from all the colorful decor, delicious food, and of course refreshing margaritas! The chicken Chimichanga and their homemade chips/salsa was bomb. Make sure to try their mango margarita! They also have other flavors (original, peach, pineapple, mango, strawberry, and more) the only thing I would say is, it's not super authentic mexican but it's still decent food and can be a little pricy. read more

Great food and great service! Our server, Stephanie, was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The Carne Asada was a perfectly cooked skirt steak, and the coconut rice and sweet plantains were good too. The Carnitas were very good as well, and the portions were generous. read more

We decided to get out of the house and take a little day trip to New Smyrna beach, after driving from one restaurant to the other looking for one that take precautions, such as the servers wearing masks and tables 6-ft apart and came upon Clancy's. The service was very good, but the food was just okay. We did not love the salsa that came with the chips and salsa. And the food was pretty plain and bland. The happy hour drinks could have used a little more alcohol. We did enjoy the desserts and sitting outside and enjoying the atmosphere felt great after being in quarantine for so many weeks. The atmosphere outside was lively and a nice spot to people watch. read more

The BEST Chili Relleno I have had! I had dinner here and started my meal off with a skinny spicy margarita and it was perfect. Spicy with some heat and perfectly made. Then I ordered the chile relleno and it did not disappoint. One of the best I have ever had and I have had a lot. That is my go to at every mexican restaurant. This one was big, full of cheese, perfectly fried and not smothered in a sauce. It is obvious they are homemade. The staff was quick and friendly. The prices were fair and I would absolutely b read more

This is a review that is hard to write. I should've written it on my Birthday in October of 2019 because of the poor service and horrible quality food (cold Velveeta over a cold soggy "chimichanga"). Keep in mind I have been a Clancy's regular as an avid NSB surfer/local for 30 years ~ Since they were behind Red Dog Surf Shop. This past visit was ridiculous! My guy friend and I walked in. The energy was weird so I said let's go to The Breakers but KJ (who I shook his hand 3x but yet he refused to give me his name) was already serving him. I was disrespected and discarded. I politely walked away from the bar and found Lauren Clancy looking for the person in charge. She said "We'll serve you 1 drink and that's it!" in a very nasty way. And mentioned the guy I was with. There was obviously a personal vendetta as another bartender in the area stated to me later when he said "I served you." I said Lauren,,"I'm a bartender and I've known you and your family for decades. What is your reason?" She didn't have one except to bring up the guy's name. She didn't know we had been there less than a week prior and received excellent service. I left the building and she followed me. Then obnoxiously closed the door like I was a transient. Absolutely horrible! To the Clancys ~ You all should be ashamed of your daughter and her unprofessionalism. Steer clear ppl. KJ and Lauren are very ugly and I had amazing memories including last week except for being with my ex on my Birthday 3.5 years ago. No excuse. Food was bad then. Service was terrible except for a week ago. Keep your personal business to yourself. read more

Food was great. Service was great. Was allowed to make substitutions. Great service. Great Sangria. Would come again. Thank you

Don't know if the business has a new owner but the food was not up to par as in years past. My current visit was a disappointment as the food was cold. My wife ordered a chicken and beef taco plate with rice and refried beans and the beans tasted like it was just out of the can and the taco's were really dry. We mentioned it to the waiter who just looked at us and didn't do anything. This was one of my favorite places when we vacationed there but it was unfortunately my last. read more

Mama always said if you don't have anything nice to say then say nothing at all. As a Yelp-er I have to say something and sadly in Clancy's case, it's not good. The good: Service was sweet and attentive. The chips were warm and tasty The bad: Cannot believe how dreadful just about everything else was that we ate, from the over-fried chile relleno with tasteless sauce, to the cheap house red wine that smelled like turpentine, to the shrimp tacos that, while full of shrimp, were cooked in such a spicy and yet flavorless way that they were just hot but not good. It wasn't even cheap! There are many tasty places to have good, cheap eats in NSB and this is not one of them. Come for chips and drinks, maybe. read more

My husband and I stopped in when we were staying in New Smyrna Beach. We really liked the patio atmosphere. It was cozy, cute and colorful. To start the strawberry margaritas were fantastic! My husband ordered the Raging burrito and was pleasantly surprised by the combination. I ordered the bowl with grilled Mahi, coconut rice and black beans which also comes with sour cream, pico de gallo and fried tortilla shell crisps on the side. We both said it's almost like Mexican met Caribbean food which we loved. Our server was also great! She was really friendly, knew her stuff and chatted to give us some history on the place. read more

We really love this place we've always had good food and drinks and it's super convenient if you are close to Flagler! The reason for only 4 stars is bc of allergen risk. The fry peanuts in their fryer every so often this is the same fryer as their tortilla chips. We have a family member with a severe peanut tree nut allergy. We found out by asking our server to double check with the chef. It would be great if management used a separate fryer but I understand they only fry the peanuts every so often and they do change oil after they have fried them. I would ask for other patrons that they post this information so other patrons are aware and can double check before consuming any products from the fryer. If management replies and makes a safe change for those it's this allergen risk I will change my review to 5 stars! read more
