From the freshness to the attention to detail, the textures, and how every dish balanced its flavors, this was a genuinely excellent meal. We came as a family and ordered a little bit of everything: * Big Blu Burger (husband/dad): The dressing paired perfectly with the arugula *They also split the chili dog and loved it! * Falafel Wrap (mom): Fresh, filling, and packed with flavor -- not soggy at all * Aji Salad (sister): Delicious with a huge portion * Kids Hot Dog & Fries (son): Great size and price for a kiddo * Chimichurri Steak Salad (me): So many layers of flavor and texture -- crunchy, spicy, and delicious Appetizers: Onion rings, fries, Meyer broccolini (my favorite -- came with an amazing dipping sauce), and green beans with an almost sweet-soy flavor that was so good. Dessert: Oreo shake and strawberry shake, both rich but not too heavy, just right. Everything was phenomenal, and the customer service matched the food. We were checked on multiple times without being bothered, and the space had plenty of seating both inside and out. The AC was a welcome relief from the heat, too. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

An easy fix: just remove it before making it. It's happened to me a few times before with no problem. DoorDash even instructed them and myself to do exactly that. Instead, the restaurant refused. So they wasted the food, kept my money, and created a problem where there didn't need to be one. In the end, DoorDash refunded me and I got the extra food for free, but that was DoorDash making it right, not the restaurant. Good food only goes so far for a restaurant, but when the service is this bad the food doesn't make up for it. Get it together.

The chicken tacos were VERY big, I came hungry and I have a large appetite to say the least and one of those tacos itself was pretty filling. Both salsas on it were delicious (they offer a red and green one)! I also threw on a little bit on onion, cilantro and rice and it was even better. Easily the best taco I have ever had. The quesadilla had the best chew on it that is hard to describe in words.....it was slightly crispy on the outside yet a little soft and the flavor on the cheese that was so perfect. The cheese even had that melted and chewy feel to it that just makes your head want to explode because it can't comprehend how something could be so good. The taquitos were so nice and crispy and had such a pleasant blend of all the flavors it packs in its shell, you really get all of them in each bite. They are so generous with their portions in it and fill up the tray all the way to the top. This place is a gift, run here don't walk.

The store is split between savory and sweet. I ordered a few tacos (carnitas, cabeza, and lengua). The full size tacos are quite large and filling. I have to remember to order the street taco version. The flavor is good and with the salsa it hits the spot. I also ordered the menudo to dip my tacos in. Paired the food with some horchata and agua fresca. The service can be a bit slow, maybe because it is usually busy. One thing to note is that you will need to order the drink with your savory order but pick up is on the other side with the sweets.

Bill is definitely an In-N-Out treasure in San Juan Capistrano. He definitely made that location feel alive. He made people feel seen and made the ambience. Just great.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this Flame broiler location!!! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The food was not only delicious but served quickly and hot. I was impressed with the quality and freshness of the ingredients, and the flavors were exactly what I was craving. Their menu offers a wide variety of options that are so good and healthy and I appreciate the effort they put into catering to different tastes and dietary preferences. The service was top-notch. The staff was attentive and made sure my dining experience was enjoyable. They were patient in explaining the menu and even recommended some of their popular dishes. My favorite was the tofu bowl! The restaurant's cleanliness and attention to hygiene were remarkable, which is especially important to me. It's evident that they take great care in maintaining a clean and inviting dining environment. I left blame broiler with a satisfied stomach and a smile on my face. It's a place I'll definitely be returning to for a quick and delicious meal. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great fast food experience! Thank you to the wonderful team at flame broiler San Juan for a fantastic dining experience. Keep up the excellent work! read more

While I didn't eat at the restaurant, the restaurant looked comfortable. I ordered three dishes on my two visits: Orange Chicken, Thai Basil Cashew Chicken, and Tofu Vegetables. I thought the Thai Basil Cashew Chicken was the best with a nice balance of flavors. (Although having lived in Thailand, it definitely wasn't Thai food.) The Tofu vegetables was also good. The Orange Chicken, though, was a bit of a miss. Not much orange flavor and the chicken was on the soggy side. The food is solid although without the spice levels that Asian food should have. The portion sizes are huge and are good value. For take out food, I think it's a good option if you're hungry and don't want to spend much.

We found ourselves stopping by Wingstop located at Gateway Village Plaza. I love their Hot Honey Rub (HHR) flavor! So very addicting at every bite. This dry rub is a combination of honey, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and ground mustard. Now you know why it is SO GOOD... sweet and spicy all in one! We walked in to order the wings. Ambiance was nice with colorful tables. Both restrooms are right in the same space as the dining area which I find odd. The gentleman who took our order was pleasant and accommodating. Thank you sir! I asked if they still have the 20 wings for $20. They sure did. One 20 for $20 please! I was allowed 3 different flavors, but I wanted all of them in HHR. I have tried their other flavors and nothing compares to their HHR. I am salivating as I'm typing right now LOL. Wait time was about 20+ minutes. They were super busy with walk-in and online orders so it was understandable. They did their best to get the orders out as quickly as possible. Thank you Wingstop! The wings were super hot and delicious. No compliants on the goods. However, I had 3 small gripes. Gripe #1... all 20 wings were placed in one tight box.... they could have separated 10 wings in one small box and another 10 wings in another small box. Gripe #2... there were too many drumettes and not enough wingettes (aka flats). I prefer more of the latter than the former. Gripe #3... some of the drumettes had open parts from the bone to the outside. I prefer my drumettes in fuller form. Hence, 4 stars! We will come back for more HHR wings the next time we're in San Clemente! Don't ever get rid of your HHR!! It's a flavor for life!!!

After visiting some L&L's while in Hawaii, I was excited they were opening in San Clemente…read more When I arrived, the place is all shiny and new, so very clean. Nice little dining area with various tables. I had to take a moment to read the menu before I decided. The counter clerk was very nice and patient as I figured out what I wanted. The experience with him was 4.5 stars, as the 2 stars shown is purely about the food. I ended up ordering a curry chicken katsu bowl with the curry on the side and then a side of the gravy so I could try both. I went and filled up my ridiculously expensive diet coke and found a seat. The cost was $4.50 for a large (?) diet coke. $4.50! Four dollar bills and two quarters! Don't believe me? Check out the receipt picture. That was half the cost of the food. For Diet Coke! OK, enough... The wait was not too long before my name was called. The bowl was pretty small, but they had other options that would certainly get you more food, but this size was good for me at this point. Key points: Chicken Katsu - very thin, so tasted mostly like crunchy batter Curry Sauce - one of my favorite sauces in the world, and this one had zero, none, zilch taste. I was thinking I had covid, since it just tasted like thick water. I tried some soy sauce to prove I could taste and my taster was working OK. Gravy - hard to believe, but this one may have had less taste, or equally no taste. Again, I thought of thick water. Ponzu Sauce or similar - had taste and ended up being my main source of flavor Steam Vegetables - poor guys, they were steamed to oblivion and the taste with them, softly melted in my mouth (and that's not a compliment) Rice - decent, rice cooker rice. I spruced it up with soy and sriracha My fantasy of having some OK Hawaiian food was dashed. Look, it's fast food Hawaiian and even in HI it does not compare to good, hometown spots with GREAT food but it's OK for a quick bite when touring around the Islands. This version did not compare to what I had experienced in Hawaii. I sometimes go back to check consistency and will do the same here. They are still relatively new, so some slack and another visit to check my review score is the right thing to do. Hand Loose. Try in the future. Wish Them Luck!
