The camarones a la diabla were absolutely delicious easily one of my longtime go to meals here. I've been ordering this dish for years, and it never disappoints. The sauce has the perfect balance of tangy flavor, garlic, and just the right amount of heat. Paired with the fresh lettuce, rice, and great textures throughout, everything comes together perfectly. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving quality mariscos and flavorful seafood dishes. Also, if it's your first time here, definitely try the shrimp tostada the portion is huge and it's one of the fan favorites for a reason. Fresh, loaded, and perfect to share or enjoy as a full meal on its own. read more

Clemente Seafood - Camarones à la diabla - Seafood Near Me - Santa Ana, California

My favorite place for ceviche! I been coming here for years. Delicious freshly made ceviche- I get the mixed but the fish is just as good. They do offer regular entrees like fish burritos, tortas, tacos, oysters etc but I go here for the ceviche only. Clean cozy restaurant that reminds me of Mexico. read more

Small Mexican spot with a variety of options. We tried the fish burrito, shrimp diabla and a carne asada taco as well as an horchata. The horchata was light in flavor. Fish burrito was pretty large and filling. The shrimp diabla could have used a little more spice but had a good flavor to it. The carne asada taco was overpriced at $6 for a singular taco, it was good but I wouldn't pay that again. We went in for lunch food did take a while so be aware of possible rush hours. read more

I love seeing places where the regulars keep coming back. Clemente Seafood is one of those hidden gems in Santa Ana! They have a very large menu with a lot of seafood selections. And they started us off with some chips, salsa, and guacamole. This was very tasty! I especially liked the guacamole! We also tried the ceviche and shrimp dishes. I really enjoyed the ceviche with the tostada. It was very refreshing! The shrimp dish was pretty good too, but a little salty. I liked that the owner of the restaurant kept checking in on us. He wanted to make sure that we felt at home while enjoying our food. It is such an adorable mom and pop shop! As Always, NOM 4 LIFE! read more

Foods basic problem here is takes an hour to get your full table served and then they charge you 140$ for aguachiles mojarra shrimp burrito and dino nuggets insane food is no we're near that price read more

These are my favorite shrimp tacos from childhood. I have yet to taste better shrimp tacos, and I've tried plenty of places. I live about an hour away but every time I'm here I stop in for the shrimp tacos. read more

We have been going to Clemente Seafood for 10 Years and it is consistently delivering delicious, fresh, quality food. It's a family business runs by the sweet, kind, and gentle husband and wife. My husband and sons love coming here for their complimentary delicious crispy homemade chips and savory salsa. The shrimp cocktail is a must! From fish tacos, shrimp Diablo, carne asada nachos, fish tortas, shrimp tacos etc. all excellent. The place is small clean and quaint. We go here regularly and never get tired of their food. read more

My favorite ceviche- and that is saying something...., I come here maybe 4 times a year at lunch for ceviche. The owner knows me now so I don't really need to order. If there is lull we chitchat but for the most part he is busy. The ceviche always tastes fresh and I love how small the pieces are cut up. It makes it easier to get a lot on a chip. The sauce they serve with it is kind of sweet, kind of sour. If anyone knows what it is, please let me know- I want to put it in fruit for a platter. It's a hole in the wall but they are pumping out good fresh food. Minus one star for overcharging for wine and the sketchy clientele that is sometimes present. read more

Clemente Seafood - Ceviche mixto - Seafood Near Me - Santa Ana, California

We ate here with friends who are regulars. Our first time. The food was good, lots of options. The ceviche is a very popular menu item.

Food was awesome! Clean, fresh and generous Price was a little soar. The 140$ for 3 plates and 2 appetizers was to my opinion exaggerated read more

I've been here several times since I first tried out this place and each time was exceptional. Unfortunately the atmosphere is not very lively which is why I'm updating my review now. I think more people should try out this place especially for their ceviches which is what I always get. I believe it's the owner who is always serving us and he's very kind and attentive. The food portions are large, tastes, and fresh. and the chips and salsa are ‍ read more

Clemente Seafood - Shrimp Ceviche - Seafood Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Place seems friendly and inviting but then the prices hit you like a sledgehammer...$21+ for Ceviche at lunch and it is almost 1 lb? The shrimp is $4.99 lb and not worth the cost. Tomatoes are what? $.89 lb $.50 for Lime? I am all for a profit but this seems like over priced and poor value for the cost read more

Got it to go- Delicious 10/10 food. A lil bit pricey but SOOO WORTH IT. The portions are HUGE and the quality is unmatched. I got ceviche and a campechana (shrimp/pulpo/ostiones). Best I've had in a long time read more

Great family-owned business with fresh food and very friendly service. Their tortas are delicious, they're fishes tasty and the shrimp cocktail was awesome. You got to try this place! read more

Nice, casual Mexican seafood restaurant. I came for lunch on a Friday with my mom. We ordered the seafood cocktail with four types of seafood and a plate of beans. We didn't love that the cocktail had so much fake crab, but we liked the other seafood and flavors. Overall it was a solid spot for a weekday lunch. read more

Clemente Seafood - Shrimp Ceviche Tostada - Seafood Near Me - Santa Ana, California

The Fish is very fresh! The ambiance is very free and airy. Great lighting inside from the outdoors. The ceviche is piled on high . I would recommend to ask for the tostada on the side next time. The tostada is crispy and good quality. Shrimp cocktail is savory and sweet. Add your tapatio, lime and salt. Would recommend this spot. Service is very friendly and fast. Ceviche and A warm sunny day = perfection. Come try this place out read more

Ordered the fish ceviche and grilled fish taco. Ceviche had crumbled bits of what appears to be imitation crab. Fish in the taco smelled fishy. I don't recommend this place based on these two items. No need to try other dishes seeing how there are many Mexican restaurants read more

The rating would have been 2 stars, but both me and my wife did not feel to good after eating here. We ordered ceviche, garlic shrimp, and fried fish. They were all just ok. The rice was not spectacular and the chips for the salsa were overcooked and too thick. Just an okay experience without the rumbly tumbly. read more

been coming here for years, love everything on the menu, mexican and family owned, 5 stars! read more

Clemente Seafood - Sides free chips ?? $699 - Seafood Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Was in Irvine for the day and was looking to grab a quick bite before heading home, glad I stumbled across this place, located in a small shopping centre by the gas station, parking was no problem. We walked in and we were greeted right away, chips and salsa came right away and were complimentary. Food came out quick as well and were delicious, fresh and filled with flavor. I will be back when I am in the area and I highly recommend Clemente Seafood. read more

I've had ceviche all over from Simi Valley down to Ensenada and this is by far the best ceviche I've had. So much flavor yet so simple. If you like great food with respect to cleanliness in regard to the establishment and food this is the place to go to. Note: each tostada comes with a mountain of ceviche so don't let the price fool you!! Thank me later. The owners are stand up people. They are family oriented, respectful, and down to earth. They get a 5/5 for me all day. read more

One of my bosses from work comes here at least once a week always bragging about how delicious this place is. I've seen the plates he brings back for myself but now I had to taste it for myself. The restaurant opens at 11am during the week and we arrived about 11:45am. Perfect timing. Wasn't busy yet for the lunch rush. They do have dining tables avail to sit but of course every other table is closed off for social distancing rules. We ordered at our table and the food came out within 5-10 min. My boyfriend ordered the camarón and oysters and I ordered the garlic butter shrimp. The shrimp looked exactly how it would taste based off photos I had seen on yelp. Buttery and with a nice heavy garlic flavor. The rice and beans complimented nicely. My boyfriend said the camarón he ordered was worth the price. Very generous portions for sure. Service was also superb. read more

The food is delicious. The best seafood Mexican restaurant i have been to. Really recommend going there.

This food is good, we've been here a handful of times but the prices are just too much considering how much Mexican food is around. I also understand supply chain struggles but $22.99 for carne asada nachos? One thing they do very well here is ceviche. It's actually reasonably priced. GIve them a try but beware of the sticker shock. read more

My go-to place for ceviche in Santa Ana/Costa Mesa! I always get the best service when I come here. You can tell that the owners are passionate about the food and service that they provide to customers. I always get the ceviche when I come here. I ordered the combination ceviche. It came with shrimp, fish, octopus, and more. After tax and everything else, it was about $21. It comes with one tostada, a few packets of saltines, and cocktail sauce. I would recommend ordering more tostadas. I just wish it came with more avocados read more

My boyfriend and I had lunch at this delicious restaurant. He had the camaron de mojo de ajo burrito! yum!! I had shrimp tostada! yummmmy! super good! I highly recommend this place. read more

Food was not that great. And this place was expensive. $75 for 2 burritos 1 torta & 2 drinks. The place owned by the sister was WAYYYY better - The bread, the freshness and the cost was much more reasonable. But if it's good, i don't mind paying a little extra, but that was not the case. Was excited to find this place and find out they were related to eachother, but this definitely missed the mark as I'm bummed since the other place sold and shut down. They even had their own bakery and that bread was bomb. Bottom line, food is ok, but definitely not worth the cost. read more

It was hard to find this place because of all the construction going on there. Their food is honestly not good at all. Lacks flavor and doesn't taste authentic. It is overpriced for the portions. The worst of it all is the horrible service. The woman and man behind the counter were really rude and laughing/snickering about me. Listen to the other 1 star reviews before wasting your money here. WILL NOT BE RETURNING!! Food: 0/10 Service: 0/10 read more

Awesome. Food is fresh and service real good. Worth your drive and order the ceviche. Fantastic

Was craving Campechana and so glad this place was nearby. Not only that, but they have huge portions, it's fresh and flavor was spot on. I really appreciate how clean the restaurant was. Owner was so nice and so were the employees. Definitely coming again and this will be my go to spot when my seafood cravings hit. Thank you for your quality of food and service, seriously! read more

This place was delicious yall!! This plaza has some really great food and This place did not disappoint. To be honest, im not the biggest fan of seafood but something about this place called upon my hunger. The ceviche was so fresh and tasty. The first bite I took is something I won't forget. It had fresh onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, lime juice, and big shrimp pieces. Everything was uniform in shape but each had their own little texture which made it so good. Once I added more lime juice and combined it with the hot sauce and crackers/tostada it was like heaven in my mouth. I had other food to eat too but I just kept coming back for this thing. 10/10 would come again and I recommend you guys to all try it! Pretty big portion too! read more

This is definitely my go to spot for ceviche fried fish mariscos in OC close to home without having to leave to LA county for seafood. Service was fast and there is an indoor seating area. The outside of the plaza was remodeled and it does the job for me. The micheladas were ok too. read more

This place is underrated. If you're into the traditional mariscos place with loud music and huge plates, this isn't for you. The food is more simple BUT the quality is what's important. I'm glad they are are almost done with the renovations outside because it's looking so nice. Super sweet family business deserves more credit. Try: tostada de ceviche, fish taco "a la plancha" and the torta read more
