Chips, salsa, and frijoles came out generous, no skimping here. Chicken flautas were crispy perfection, exactly what you want. Birria enchiladas were the standout though -- generously portioned, tender birria, flavorful, with just the right amount of heat. Wish I'd saved room for dessert, next time for sure. Service was friendly all around, and our server kept it real when things got a little busy -- appreciated the honesty over just disappearing. Solid spot, will be back to finish what I started (looking at you, dessert menu)

I just want to say this place has gone downhill and it's sad. We came here last night after not…read morecoming for two years. At that time everything was outstanding, but this time I'm not sure if we'll go back. Ambience is excellent and customer service is excellent but the food quality is not great now. I ordered tacos and the first one was extremely spicy to the point that I almost didn't want to eat the rest. I tried the second one and it wasn't spicy at all which was strange. Third one also not spicy. Very inconsistent. Quality of the food feels like it's not as good as well. I got two margaritas and the size was very small compared to other upper scale Mexican restaurants (most of it was ice) and the actual liquid was a small amount. They were tasty, but I think the alcohol content was very little. For $16-20 drinks I'd expect something with some alcohol in it and a larger portion. My girlfriend got the enchiladas and she said they were whatever. Nothing special. My friend got calamari and he said it was really fishy and sent it back. Not sure what's going on in the kitchen but they need some help. Customer service was excellent though, just the quality and size of the drinks was disappointing. Oh well. Very expensive for what you get and not worth it.

Great location!!! Just steps from the beach, great views. Greeted by our host/server. We were…read moreable to choose our table and I chose one with a view of the pier and ocean. The food was good. A few surprises My sister ordered the Cali eggs Benedict the potatoes wee supposed to be smashed, they were halved. The avocado slices looked old due to the dark tone on them, not the normal green. My chilaquiles had black beans, not mentioned in the menu description; great surprise. There was supposed to be sour cream on my chilaquiles and there wasn't any. It would have cut some of the sourness of the chile verde sauce. I chose poached eggs in stead of fried ones. My eggs were over cooked and cold. I am pretty sure they were precooked. I would give them another try, maybe for lunch.

Food: We started off with the coconut shrimp. The coconut shrimp was good. The coconut was crispy and the shrimp was well done for the main dish. I got the Cali Benedict. It was Soooo good. The hollandaise sauce was so tasty. The shrimp was fully seasoned and the potato's were well seasoned and huge. I recommend people getting this dish. Ambiance: The ambiance was great. There wasn't really a lot of people so that was nice. Just kids screaming and cry from time to time.

Second visit at Brussels Bistro and both times were solid. Perfect spot if you're looking for a…read moregood list of Belgian beers, both bottled and on tap. Food is also great. It's tough to find good mussels with a very of sauce options but they've got that covered for you here. First visit, I had the White Beer sauce and that was fantastic. It was just the right amount of beer to not be overpowering. Second visit, I had the Garlic and Crème and wow - if you like garlic, this is an excellent choice. Creamy, garlicky, but again not overpowering. My toddler had the chicken breast plate and luckily it was a hit for her (of course the fries more than anything else). The chicken breast was moist and tender, so that made this an easy choice. Brussels Bistro is now becoming a must visit when in San Clemente - can't wait to go back!

Came on a weekend afternoon. Was able to find street parking a block away pretty quickly. Street…read moreparking was not metered and free on Avenida Del Mar. Place was not busy when we arrived. They had a few tables. They originally wanted to seat us inside, but we requested the open window seat. Our waiter tried to sell us wine when we sat down. We ordered the Creamy Chicken with Ratatouille for $29 and Steak Frites with red wine sauce for $34. The Creamy Chicken was really good and fun to eat with the puff pastry. The Ratatouille was alright, we were not a fan. We got the Steak Frites medium and felt like it should've tasted better. We did appreciate that we did taste the red wine. The Belgians fries were hot and crispy. They were quite generous with the salt. The decor was nice. The food was descent. The kept refilling our water without us asking which was nice. We did not like that the waiters kept rushing us to leave at the end when there were plenty of open tables. The place was packed by dinner time when we returned to the area.

Was excited to try a new poke place in hopes that I'd be able to frequent one closer to where I…read morelive, but I was disappointed by the poke from this place. I'm from Hawaii and was hoping for poke that would remind me of Hawaii but this just wasn't it. My husband and sister agreed that the poke was not good. The fish quality was poor and tasted like something that was previously frozen. The texture was awful...like chewing on something a little spongey, which is a sign the fish was previously frozen. The spicy tomato wasn't spicy and the original lacked flavor. Rice quality was mid. Didn't taste like sushi rice. My sister tried to order a half and half of two flavors and instead of making half of each, they mixed the two flavors. It was bizarre. Service was okay. Ambiance was that of a hole in the wall place. It's too bad we won't be going back. Definitely doesn't remind me of the poke in Hawaii.

We were greeted right away, and our server was attentive, funny, and made the experience even better. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese, the tuna poke stack, and the fish and chips. Honestly, everything was exactly what we were craving. The lobster mac and cheese was rich and creamy, and the panko gave it the perfect crispy topping. The pasta was just a little more al dente than I prefer, but other than that, no complaints. The tuna poke stack with the wonton chips was so refreshing and full of flavor. The fish and chips tasted incredibly fresh with the perfect amount of seasoning, and the tartar sauce tied everything together. Safe to say there weren't any leftovers!
