Went to park and was walking to throw trash away and owner told us we had to move because i was walking opposite direction to throw my trash away. I told him we been here multiple times and he said “i don’t care how many times you been here” and i just told him we’d leave because it was rude and he said he was happy to see us leave. NEVER GOING BACK

A group of 4 stopped in on a Wednesday night. They weren’t too busy so we were seated immediately. I was immediately shocked at how affordable the pricing is. I ordered a salad with grilled ahi and the creamy coconut dressing. I was very satisfied with the meal! The portions are decent but not so much food that you feel like you’re stuffed. They have indoor and outdoor seating with space heaters for chilly nights. The service was very fast and attentive. Definitely a good casual spot for dinner and drinks!

I love Nomads. The best food, healthy options, amazing margaritas, fabulous servers, and a super fun atmosphere!

This place is pretty good, it’s a local restaurant and because of that you will get a different take on many of the foods that one has already had in the past. Like the torta, instead of your normal bolio bread, you get a ciabatta bread instead. Now is that a good thing, we’ll it’s a hit and miss sometimes and this time it’s a bit of a miss. But that shouldn’t turn you away from areas like these because some of the others things in the menu which they do a different take in comes out delicious. So I recommend this area because I love the open mindedness of it and can’t go wrong with a well priced steak that turned out to be very good. So do yourself a favor and go here for a nice lunch near the beach.

This is the coolest place i ate at during my 10 days in San Clemente. Good food full bar offerings, outdoor seating was great in mid-September. Indoor bar seating and tables, too. Attractive staff, friendly, lots of locals. Surfer hangout. Believe there is a parking lot adjacent to the ramp up to the place (I walked there from a rental). Loved it.
