​The Food: The portions here are massive and clearly made with a high level of craft. The Ribeye Chilaquiles are an absolute must—the steak is tender, and the flavors are bold and authentic. If you’re there for brunch, the Pancake Tacos are a fun, creative twist you won’t find elsewhere. Even the simpler items, like the house nachos and asada tacos, feel elevated.
​The Drinks: You can’t visit without trying a flight. Whether it’s the Margarita Flight (the Hibiscus and Cucumber Guava are standouts) or a Mimosa sampler, the presentation is stunning—complete with sparklers and fresh fruit that make every round feel like a special occasion.
​The Service: What really seals the deal is the staff. They are incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely seem happy to have you there. It’s the kind of hospitality that turns a first-time visitor into a regular.
​Whether you’re looking for a vibrant brunch spot or a cool dinner vibe with top-tier cocktails, Clandestino is easily the best-kept secret in the SGV.”

The experience at Clandestino today was really disappointing.

We decided to come here after seeing it featured on Instagram by GrubWithGreg, which is what convinced us to drive an hour from Manhattan Beach, CA. Unfortunately, it wasn’t worth the trip.

When we arrived, my fiancé and I were shocked to learn that anyone at the table is required to order the all-you-can-eat wings. I didn’t even want wings—I wanted to order another item off the menu—but I was forced to order them anyway. That alone was extremely frustrating.

The rules were excessive:
* Everyone at your table is required to order the all-you-can-eat wings.
* You’re only given 90 minutes to order refills

• The first order is 10 wings, then only 5 wings per order after that
• You get one tiny sample-size cup of ranch, and it’s $1.50 for each additional cup (you can clearly see how small it is in the photos)

With all these stipulations, the experience felt more restrictive than enjoyable. There should absolutely be a sign at the front door clearly explaining the rules before customers are seated.

To make things worse, the waiter explained one set of rules to us, but then gave a different set of rules to another table, which felt very inconsistent and unfair.

Service was terrible. The waiter barely checked on us, never offered refills, and didn’t come back to take another wing order. It honestly felt like he was intentionally running out the 90-minute time limit so we couldn’t order more wings.

The one positive: the Thai chili wings were crispy and had great flavor.

Lastly, I asked to speak with the manager—and no one ever came to our table. That was extremely unprofessional and left a bad final impression.

Overall, this place did not live up to the hype, and I regret making the long drive.

Believe me I’m a google reviewer and will give credit where credit is due.

Loved the food and the service was great. Been there for dinner and breakfast, both delicious. Ot does get a bit noisy inside so you may want to sit outside. Can’t wait to go again.

Visited Sunday, November 9th 2025, around 12 pm.

We tried to visit this spot about 8 months ago and the waiting time was approximately 1 hour. We arrived. They were able to see us right away.

Drinks:
Started with a bloody Mary — came with three olives. No celery stick. We have the cafe de la olla – This drink is absolutely amazing. It does not need any sugar or milk. It’s perfect the way it comes.

Appetizers:
We didn’t have any appetizers with our meal since what we were ordering was going to be huge portions. And I don’t think I was ready to pay $16 for for chips and salsa lol.

Entrée:
I had the 16 oz ribeye red and green chilaquiles. I’m usually a green chilaquila guy, but today I got more flavor out of the red than the green. I think it’s best to start with the green since when the meal arrives. The chips are still crunchy and by the time you get to the red they’re more on the traditional side how mom used to make them . The chilaquila play was accompanied by country style potatoes which were very tender and delicious and the refried beans were oh my God. Very delicious. They had this hint of chili, probably Chipotle that just complimented the meal.

They gave us some chimichurri with the ribeye chilaquiles and they served it in this Little dipping cup. The ones that you get at a hamburger place When you want ketchup with your fries. It’s made of plastic not paper and they filled it to about a quarter of the way. And because it wasn’t enough when we asked to waitress for more to enjoy our meal, it was a dollar for extra and then when they serve the extra I came about halfway full. They gave us two cups. Now I’m all for paying a little bit extra but this chimichurri did not taste fresh. If you guys are going to charge for something like this then you got to ensure that all the ingredients are fresh and that the flavor completely knocks your socks off. Trust me you guys can do better.

Wife had the churro pancakes. Beautifully decorated. Very tasty. I personally am not much of a sweet person however you like churros. It’s good to have a bite or scoop from anyone who’s ordering this.

My daughter had the pancakes. They were very good and fluffy very well made. They come with fruit in this case it was blueberries and strawberries which were fresh

My son had a chicken burrito. He’s very picky and it came with the side order of crisp fries. These fries were very delicious. They’re nice size portions. My son left about a quarter of his burrito left since he was full.

Sides:
wife got a side of sausage with her pancakes came with about four links. Bigger than your normal store-bought size and cooked to perfection .

My son’s burrito came with these delicious crispy golden brown fries. You can hear the crisp in every bite.

We had a side of refried beans that had a hint of Chipotle chili with them. They were topped with cheese. These things reminded me of my grandfather’s Ranch in Mexico. You could literally eat these beans with homemade tortillas as is. A little Cafe de olla with them, And you’re good to go. This can be a morning treat.

Service:
Our waitress was spot on. She asked questions about our experience with the restaurant and broke down the menu thoroughly and quickly, she asked if we were old kid with with certain little things like onion and sour cream and things like that to make sure that our meal was to our liking.

Ambience:
The ambience is pretty mellow. It was afternoon. They had the door open which was good and bad. You got a nice little Cool breeze but at the same time he also got some flies which was a big No-No . They have several TVs on the inside so you can watch a game and they also have outside seating with canopy style nets so you can eat alfresco without getting beaten down by the sun

Overall:
We primarily went there for the the ribeye steak Chilaquiles the meal did not disappoint. The portions were huge. Did pay a little bit more than expected But the portions were on point

The food was really good and the portions are huge. The coffee had hints of cinnamon and really woke me up. You’ll want to come in early because a wait starts to form quickly

We’ve enjoyed Clandestino since the time they opened. Their food is fresh, with lots of varieties on the menu which always changes to keep it interesting. Their drinks are also fresh, very flavorful, and not watered down. The staff is always such a pleasure to have serve us, and they are very gracious and attentive. Such a welcome pleasure to be greeted with smiles and thankfulness!

Tonight’s delight was:
Clandestino Burrito, light and flavorful.
Fresh Guac and Chips…delicious!
Arugula and Apple salad with Grilled Chicken…perfectly seasoned and cooked!

Their food is not only delicious but beautiful to look at!

The chicken sandwich was so delicious and cucumber juice super fresh! The place I feel is little bit too hot for me, even this the Ac. No recommend the chorizo burrito, it was tasteless.
Our server was great! Really nice and attentive.

We drove all the way from the South Bay just to try Clandestino, and let me tell you—it was absolutely worth the trip and the wait! When we arrived, the wait time was over an hour, but once we sat down, every dish we ordered made it more than worth it.

I can be indecisive when it comes to food, so I loved that the chilaquiles flight came with both red and green chilaquiles plus the most flavorful rib eye. The rib eye was tender, perfectly cooked, and paired beautifully with the sauces.

We also shared appetizers: the pork belly bites and shrimp lollipops. The shrimp were glazed with a sweet and spicy chipotle aioli—such a unique and tasty bite, and perfect for our group since there were five of us. The pork belly bites were crisp on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth on the inside, and topped with a honey Sriracha sauce that had the perfect balance of sweet heat. The serrano dipping sauce on the side was just as delicious.

For something sweet, we tried the tres leches pancakes. They were fluffy, rich, and had a fun flavor that reminded me of Fruity Pebbles cereal—such a nostalgic twist.

The ambiance here is beautiful, modern, and inviting. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating. Since we went on a hot day, the sun was right on us outside, but the staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. They moved umbrellas around for extra shade and even placed fans nearby to keep us cool. Their kindness and attentiveness really stood out.

Overall, Clandestino is definitely worth the drive and the wait. From the amazing food to the welcoming staff and modern vibe, this spot is a gem. Highly recommend!
