This past july 4th week we ate here again and brought the fam; just saw the devastating news-- this place is a gem and I hope they are able to re-build, thoughts out to this fantastic restaurant. See new pics. My dad is hard to please and really liked it. We all did, delicious. 5ys ago, We driving by and this place seemed cute. What a surprise. We got the best salsa and chips when were sat down. I wish I could get the recipe because my hubby liked it a lot. Then we ordered a small guacamole-- why :) it was so good ! Recommend the large. We had chiliquile plate and Spanish omelette. Both were good. One drawback, the doors were open. Service was friendly. We had the chocolate mole cake-- yum, it was served like a lava cake warm with ice cream, two churros and whipped cream.
Good food. Good service. Dressy casual sit down family restaurant with a small bar area for margaritas. On a Wednesday night it was a very loud atmosphere. I ordered water, the enchiladas combo plate, which came with rice and beans, and it was on special because it was a Wednesday. My bill came out to $8.61. I was brought complimentary chips and salsa almost instantly after I was seated. Would definitely return for another meal.
Maybe it's just me but this establishment knows how to make a good salsa! Any restaurant that can make chips and salsa delicious, has my vote. A small restaurant, but does accommodate large parties, and what's a party without a few delicious margaritas! Great service, and on point with to-go orders if you're planning on sharing after dining.
Really love this spot and would highly recommend it if you’re in the area. The waitstaff is really nice and the prices are perfect, especially given the area. The shrimp burrito was perfect and paired well with their beer options. Plus they give free chips and salsa which is the cherry on top. Check it out!

LOL..TNT JR. LIL MASON.... SIPPIN' TIPIN' GREAT FOOD, SERVICE....XOXO CHEERS AND THANK ALL Y'ALL FOR A GREAT BIRTHDAY 🎂🥳🎉
Located on El Camino Real at the south end of San Clemente, La Siesta is a local’s favorite to families and surfers alike. A bit on the weathered side, but the food is authentic Mexican style and the salsa is a winner too. They have won the San Clemente Salsa Challenge quite a few times over the years. The service is friendly (many of them are from the same family). They aren't shy about sitting down for a chat if you have the time.
The Mexican food is priced very reasonable. Try a Family Carnitas plate (feeds 4+) or a Baja style fish taco (don’t forget the chips & salsa). Taco Tuesdays are wild in this place, so get there early or expect a wait `cause they don't take reservations at La Siesta. Their enchiladas are one of my favorites (Wednesday night is Enchilada Night). Try their tortilla soup, it will be some of the best you’ll find anywhere.
There was a wait to get a seat, but I was able to get a drink and wait outside with heaters and a drink to keep warm👌 The food came within 10 minutes of ordering and it was delicious!
The service was Absolutely wonderful the food came out quickly The waitress were absolutely attentive They were not overbearing The food was really really good The shrimp cocktail was absolutely great I can't Enough good things about the service it was the best
What a great and lively taco Tuesday. $2 each, had the pork chicken and fried fish and all were fantastic! It is a busy place, but being solo I ordered a beer and hung out for about 10-15min and then sat belly up when a seat opened. I have been here before and the food is great, recommend.
My fiance and I stopped by this place after checking out some venues.
Our waitress and the rest of the staff here is very friendly and attentive. You get complimentary chips and salsa and their salsa is delicious!
I ordered a Asada Torta with fries and my fiance ordered chicken nachos. The portion sizes are a good size, so you could even share a dish if you wanted to - especially the nachos.
Both our dishes were delicious. The nachos were stacked and the toppings mouth watering.
My Asada Torta was made perfectly. The steak was easy to bite into.
I would definitely come back here again when I'm the area.
First time here after having heard great reviews from several people. Came for lunch and found it to be very good with large portions, fresh, great chips/salsa, and good margherita!
Fish burrito Ala Carte is soooo BOMB !!! To go order ……Make sure to ask 4 the tasty homemade chips and salsa and also for a side order of the secret spicy hot sauce in the back kitchen……….this fish and these flavors are seriously going 2 melt in your mouth like a sea candy from King Neptune lol 😂 A San Clemente locals restaurant 4 years and days 4 everyone
Great Mexican food place! Love the salsa and chicken mole enchiladas..All of their food is good
Amazing churros and ice cream!! Dinner was fast and service was amazing!
This place has a very easy going ambiance. Loved the burrito and taco combo! Soo filling...plus bottomless nachos and salsa!!

One of the best Mexican restaurants and service was amazing..
