Oh my good the Molcajete dish was outstanding!!! It is a showcase dish! I loved the salsa so much I ordered a tub to take home. Easily the best salsa I’ve ever had!

Presentation of Meal was great. Flavor was a let down. Steak ok, but chewy. Over priced Nachos is basically what you get.

Great food but the service by this very young and naive server made the experience lack the foods value! I understand she's young and seemed a little rude but you shouldn't cuz around customers who plainly want water to be filled. If you do dine in plz and I do say plz look for the older servers who match the food quality with service quality.

I had to try this place, since it's getting a lot of attention in social media. Well, the place was not that packed but we had to wait like almost an hour to be seated, food came out fairly quick but the long wait killed the emotions, anyway let's get into details. The most common dish " Rib-eye chilaquiles" is really good, I have no complaint, if you are looking for plenty or carbs this is your options, loaded chilaquiles and rib-eye on the side and for extra $5 you get to have an extra fried egg. I would prefer to have more protein than chilaquiles but that's my personal preference. I would say this specific plate is overrated for $53 but its all tastes and preferences, if they add a little more protein (any type) I will be happy but need something else to make it worth.
Great service can't complain, atmosphere is good as well, fresh ingredients and good size portions.

I found this place from a TikTok video and I was not disappointed. Order the ribeye chilaquiles and you won’t be disappointed. Come early as the place does fill up and seems busy throughout the day. I also ordered the pork belly appetizer and French toast for my daughter.

Came here with family and it did not disappoint! I ordered the green chilaquiles with ribeye (chef’s kiss) so delicious! Big enough to share. Their micheladas were also on point. Overall the service was great and the staff was very accommodating when asked to be seated inside as it began to slightly rain. Will definitely have to be back to try their breakfast molcajete!

This place is amazing 🤩. A little too small, but it serves great-tasting food 🍴. Come hungry or be prepared to take leftovers 🍲. The portions are huge! 🤯 I ordered a Molcajete; the steak and chicken were cooked to perfection 🍖🍗. Our server, Isabel, was great 👩‍🍳; she explained the menu to us in detail, recommended some plates and drinks 🍽️. I was celebrating my birthday 🎂. The margarita flight is awesome 🍹; it comes with a light-up candle, a great alternative (if you drink) to a cake 🎂. I highly recommend this place 👍.

Location: Good, Parking:Decent Service: needs support, Presentation: Decent, time from order to getting food : well over 20 minutes. Adjustment needed: add host to help with seating and silverware placement. Allow for more help to support high volume days and keep food waiting time down to necessary only. Overall: First time try. Took a bit long to get seated, get our order, and receive the meal. I can say I did enjoy the plate ordered and would like to try another dish on a different day. For this dinning experience I would give the restaurant... 3.6 Stars

Restroom is clean
Food is great (especially chips and salsa)
Chicken for enchiladas is great, juicy meat.
Waiting was about 20 minutes on a Sunday night
Kind waitress service
Price is worth it
And worth the wait

Parking is very difficult. They share the same parking lot as the smart and final. The drinks were the only thing that were good but they weren’t strong. I ordered the green Chilaquiles with egg and steak. My food was the last to get to our table of the eight of us that were eating. Each of our meals came at different times by the time I got my plate my food was cold. The cheese was hard and the chips were soggy. Myself, and two others in my party do not like spicy food. We asked the waitress if the food was spicy and she said no, of course it was spicy. We did not eat most of our meal even the beans were spicy. The waiter was nowhere to be found to even even ask for an exchange. It was a very disappointing experience place, considered all the good reviews. Even the customer service was bad we’d ask for extra silverware and it took a while for them to bring it. We also asked if they can please turn on one of the heaters and in the three hours we were there no one bothered to do that for us.

For anyone that enjoys food, this place sucks. The picture of the guac is basically the vibe. They shoveled plain avocado onto a plate and sprinkled cheese and tomato over it.

I got margaritas, the lime one is extremely thick and sweet. Straight syrup.

Best part was the free chips and salsa

Never coming back

finally got the chance to visit Clandestino gastro bar and it did not disappoint . From the drinks to food everything was a solid 10/10 . Taste wise 10/10 presentation also 10/10 . They had an amazing dragonfruit margarita with a cute garnish on top also had the blackberry mojito and a guava margarita . I recommend a double it does the job haha also really enjoyed the pork belly bites and the shrimp lollipops as an appetizer! And I also forgot to mention the star of the show the ribeye chilaquiles the best ribeye and chilaquiles I’ve ever had . The chipotle sauce and green was my fav . Def coming back . ASK FOR. Jasmine she went above and beyond and made the experience ten times better .

The atmosphere is really bad. It makes me feel I entered in a cheap place. The room is small, there is only one restroom for men and one for women, if you need to use it you have to be in line and the restrooms are located right in front of the tables! It is very uncomfortable to be in line with everyone watching you, but if you gen in the line you will not be able to use it. The prices are really really high for the place. I really feel the place is overpriced and on top of that they automatically added 20% tip!. I would not mind to pay the price if the experience is great but I do not recommend to bring your date here.

I honestly went there when I saw the post on Instagram, what they didn't mentioned is the waiting time and how expensive it is, it's a modern restaurant for this generation style food is not all that it has a good presentation to sell but taste not all that. Obviously everyone has their own opinion and taste...

We waited a very long time for our food. We didn't expect it to be so busy at 1:30pm on a Friday but it was packed. The Dodgers parade had a lot of patrons who braved the crowds, come here after. Says a lot about the place. TVs, easy minimal and clean decor but the chilaquiles are why you come here. Wow. Best in town or at a minimum best in SGV. Just wish the service was faster

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic establishment, and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere set the stage for what would be an unforgettable evening. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy and elegant, making it ideal for both casual meals and special date nights.

Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely amazing! Each dish is a celebration of flavor and presentation, showcasing a diverse menu that truly has something for everyone. Whether you're a fan of hearty entrees or lighter fare, you'll find choices that delight the palate. I decided to indulge in a few signature dishes, and they were nothing short of spectacular. The ingredients tasted fresh, and you could tell that every meal was crafted with care and attention to detail. Order the flights!

While the prices are on the higher side, I genuinely believe you get what you pay for here. The quality and creativity of the food, paired with the exquisite service, justify the cost. Speaking of service, it was impeccable. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our glasses were filled and that we didn’t need anything throughout the meal.

Overall, this place is a hidden gem that I can’t wait to revisit. It has all the right elements for a perfect night out—delicious food, a warm atmosphere, and top-notch service. Whether you're looking for a romantic evening or simply a lovely dinner with friends, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I wholeheartedly recommend it and will be returning soon to explore more of their menu!

Review №63

My husband and I saw this restaurant being promoted on Instagram so we had to come and try it we had pork belly bites guac and chips and the molcajate
Pork belly bites which were recommended by waiter where underwhelming pork belly was crunchy but sauce after couple bites became too sweet had the consistency of orange chicken
Guac and chips was a total miss for me felt like my recipe was better than that was missing like and spice
I did like the queso fresco on top but still wasn’t sufficient enough to save this dish
MOLCAJATE-the menu says for two people but only comes with one plate of rice and beans molcajate comes with a side of guacamole(would of been nice before we order guac and chips waiter should of said something) portion was decent but over priced compared to other restaurants for these items paid over $100 definitely not worth the price there are plentiful of other restaurants that do a better job and we feel that we weren’t attended well he checked in only once the whole time we were there wasn’t worst experience but definitely makes us not to want to come back

I met up with a customer at this location and we were lucky to snag a table right away. Soon after, larger parties started arriving and had to wait. Our waitress was friendly and helpful, advising us to order quickly since the kitchen was getting busy. We started with a couple of appetizers—the pork belly bites and shrimp lollipops—which were fantastic. I also tried the cucumber lemonade, which was incredibly refreshing, especially in the heat. We ordered the chilaquiles for our main course, but by then, we were already full, so most of it was packed to go. I’ll definitely recommend this place to clients. Since I work remotely, it’s a perfect halfway point for meetings.

No real idea of this place. The clientele is kind of lowbrow, tho. Just got accosted in parking lot cause I was "blocking" a couple of little jerks who wanted to park in the market's parking lot.

Sharing my personal experience from today 10/4/27
I honestly came here because a few friends kept on talking about this place and heard good things on TikTok about it also but in my experience the place is over hyped,Jazmine was great,atmosphere was neutral not good not bad,I ordered a coffee and chilaquiles burrito with steak.the coffee was really bad it tasted like burnt coffee with no flavor at all,the taste in the chilaquiles sauce was really good but the meat was so chewy and had no flavor.portion was decent size(I got full with half) I notice there’s a big menu for drinks (did not tried any but look good) but not much options for food.maybe I’ll try it again but definitely over hyped.

Fuimos aproximadamente 10 personas a comer y de todo lo que se pidió lo único rescatable era era el filete ribeye, los chilaquiles más espantosos y horribles que jamás he comido, la carne que venía en el molcajete estaba muy seca también y el pollo no estaba bien asado, en sus publicaciones de Instagram pintan muy bonitos los platos pero están muy feos sin
sabor y secos, el guacamole se sentía como que ya tenía muchos muchos días refrigerados, los chips estaba medio rancios y en relación calidad precio está muy caro para la calidad de su comida no vale la pena.

NEVER AGAIN.... Really, I tried to like some of the stuff they brought to the table but the only thing worth finishing was the strawberry lemonade, we ordered asada tacos (way too bland), pastor tacos (tasted like a different type of meat), fried calamari (way too salty), wagyu burgers (barely had any meat), fish tacos (the rice tasted weird)... Well, props to our waitress Isabel who heard our complaints and brought a free churro dessert, that was really good. However, for sure this is the first and last time we will be here ...

The food is amazing. The lower stars were for service. We arrived at 11 am on Friday. Walked right in and was seated. Our waitress kept roaming around and moved very slowly. Our drinks took 10-15 minutes to get a Diet Coke & ice tea. The food took a while but we got the ribeye chiliquilles and they were worth the wait. We were done for 15 minutes and kept asking for a take home box and check. The waitress was wandering around chatting with other staff. When she returned with our box she left again before we could get our check. Again we had to wait. The icing on the cake was that she mentioned when we finally got the bill a gratuity would be appreciated. She was pleasant but seemed lost. I didn’t give my normal 20% but it was still 18%. Maybe some training would be in order. Again the food was amazing, only wish the service would have been more on point for a $73 lunch for two.

We came here to meet friends for brunch. The wait for a table of four was 45 minutes, but we were seated in 30. The staff was pleasant once we were seated and the food and drinks lived up to the hype.

Definitely check this place out but, make sure you set aside the time.

20 minutes wait time is basically an hour, so plan accordingly. Food and atmosphere leaves nothing to be desired. Never got any steak despite receipt saying so, and my burrito was 3/4 beans and eggs. They bring out extremely smoky sparklers on mimosa and cocktail samplers. Then fills entire space with smoke, during summer, with windows closed. Not sure what those sparklers achieve. Huge disregards for infants and those with sensitive lungs. Basically more of a nightclub scene. This gentleman comes to wipe vent above our table, and does it right on top of a kid and drips water all over the table. Could have just moved us a bit to the right. Well, that’s not what we expected for a brunch spot, and rather left disappointed

First time here to celebrate my birthday during brunch. Overall the food was very dry for the price the chicken looked like jerky and drink wasn't a solid taste, too sweet! The flavors were too overwhelming, from beans, meat and potatoes they all tasted the same!! What baffled me there was no manager on the floor which seemed a few people wore that hat as we tried to clarify a situation which was so annoying. A $400 lesson. I will NEVER return or recommend this place!!

This was our first time at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The only downside was $18 for fried Calamari and it wasn’t a decent amount in our opinion but still delicious.

Brunch til 5pm no exceptions allowed
Not allowed to order anything not from brunch menu, I was here at 4pm
Waiter had no idea what they do or don’t have
20% Gratuity is automatically applied here too so no wonder they didn’t care
They also did their own review on the screen for a thumbs up after I payed w my card. I was not allowed even the choice to thumbs them down, like what? They even fake their own review smh
Prob not returning here
Update: since it doesn’t give me an option to reply to owners I can come in in person if you’d like, point out the exact waiter who said I couldn’t order besides brunch until 5. I’ll record a video/ig reel and TikTok and see if you still think it’s fake or what you’ll tell others then, let me know
Additionally I can tell you what was ordered as well if you’d like
Most of the bill was paid in cash except for 43.14
And it was a party of 8

We decided to try this place out as we were in the mood for some Mexican food.

The layout of the place is interesting. Like most Mexican fusion restaurants, the music was quite loud, so we decided to sit outside on a very nice patio.

The service was quick, and they are generous with napkins.

The drink we ordered was delicious.

The food was fine but a little overwhelming for us. The flavors were really strong in every dish we ordered. Sometimes it was hard to taste the food itself because it was overpowered by all the sauce and spices. It's not bad if one enjoys heavily spiced food, but it was definitely too much for us.

It's not a bad place to enjoy good service and drinks.

So i heard they just opened and had great food per Instagram. So we drove all the way out there. This was our first time here and torn about coming back. The service was amazing. The young lady who was are waitress was so sweet and on top of her tables, but the food was slow to come out, and they got the order wrong. I order a plain breakfast just pancakes and eggs amd it was nothing special about it. They are known for their brunch items and drinks. Other people around us ordered brunch items and it looked and smelled amazing. I will give it another try. Hopefully they will get it a better roll out from the kitchen.

Let's see if they can delete my comment from here. They blocked me from Instagram for saying their chilaquiles looked like chips with can sauce, honestly they don't even look like real chilaquiles. Was willing to give this place a try (not with the chilaquiles) but I guess it's a big NO

Came here to have dinner for the first time and it didn’t disappoint. We had the nachos (they are a must and my favorite thing we had there by far) the grilled fish tacos (a little bland) and a Jamaica which was refreshing and perfectly sweetened. There is plenty of parking, service is good and the food tastes home made and fresh. Would recommend and come again.

Food flavor was very good! Chilaquiles were amazing both green and red. We got crema on the side. French toast comes with jam, which I thought I wasn’t going to like but it really went with the flavor. Ribeye chilaquiles were a bit too pricey, @ $45 next time I’d get the regular for $15 and add the eggs. Pancakes a bit plain - not as fluffy, but they really dressed them well with berries and Nutella. Overall, really enjoyed the meal.

came here for our first time, (4 of us!) the aguas frescas were extremely watered down, the glasses for water smelled unclean, the ribeye steak chilaquiles were 10/10, the only great thing about our visit today. Jose, our waiter was very inattentive and hostile, he seemed to catch an attitude a few times, we tried to bother him as little as possible. overall, we tried to enjoy our time, will not return and will not recommend either. maybe it wasn’t meant for us, we had high hopes but it still sucked! 1/10 :(

Great place for a latin brunch. Got the rib eye was a lot of fat on mine and not as much meat to be so expensive. Bad cut of meat that day as a chef. I know it can happen. Other than that, the food was great, and the drinks were tasty. I went in a day they had a big party where service was all over the place.

Went there for dinner for a friend's birthday based on the reviews. The restaurant is in a venue that shares the parking lot with Smart n Final and some apartments. There are lots of signs where parking isn't permitted, so one needs to be careful of that.

We noticed the gauche decorations in the patio but decided that it doesn't matter if the food is good. The menu promised a couple of options for vegetarians, nothing for vegans. It also advertises sushi.

We got seated right away. Shortly thereafter, the server came to our table and told us many options were unavailable (sushi, charcuterie board, and a couple of others). We asked if the potato taquitos were available, as advertised on their menu. She returned a minute later to tell us they were not available. As the vegan in the party, that left me with the one option I didn't want: veggie tacos. (I'm a runner and needed carbs for dinner). I asked whether the tortilla soup had any meat in it, and she said it didn't, "but it's just made with chicken stock." Some basic knowledge of vegetarian/vegan palates would've been helpful. Then the girl proceeded to tell me they had salmon, fish tacos, asada, etc. She also kept on pushing the endless drinks like the margaritas and the margarita flight for $45!

The prices are high and don't reflect the venue itself. They seem reflective of the gauche decor, especially in the patio, rather than the entrée options or service.

We left, given our limited options, and won't be returning any time soon.

While I realize meat is a staple if many Mexican entrées, in this day and age, restaurant owners should offer a couple of options for vegan/vegetarian options. The demographic is growing, and carnivores are also becoming more conscious of their eating habits; therefore, they make an effort to curb their meat consumption.

Where do I start? I hate having to give 1-star reviews, but there were just too many red flags during my visit that can't be ignored.

Tried going to this place for the first time for brunch and it ended up being a regrettable and forgettable experience.

I put my name in for a table for two just 25 mins after they opened and waited the same amount of time just to be seated when the restaurant was only 15% full...so why did we wait so long?When I walked in to be seated, even though I counted 4-5 waiting staff walking or standing around near the entrance, apparently there's a rule that only the hostess can seat customers. So we lost another 5-7 minutes waiting for that. Luckily, the hostess and the waitress we got were both very kind and attentive, so they shouldn't get any of the blame here.

After being seated, we ordered our drinks and food right away just because we knew what we wanted to have. We ordered a mimosa breakfast sampler, ribeye and chilaquiles plate, and the clandestino breakfast plate. While waiting for the food, the chips they brought us were mushy and lacked any flavor. A different male server came out and dropped off more drinks and napkins and didn't say a word. We were thinking are they not allowed to communicate with customers because they aren't waiters? Like...who does that?

The mimosas tasted completely watered down and lacked any unique flavor. Had to ask for napkins and silverware and salt & pepper instead of it just being brought over as soon as we sat down.

When the actual food came out, we had more issues. Half of the ribeye steak was all fat, and I'm not talking about just around the edges, it was literally half of the entire steak. The chilaquiles were bland, the two eggs looked more like one egg, and the French toast was average. For spending that kind of change on the meal we expected more.

They share the parking lot with Smart & Final, so even though we didn't have trouble parking because it was early, I can see why others complain. You have to end up parking on the street or even worse, across the street if things are really busy because their parking lot is too small.

The only real positive was the music and the company I was eating with.

For a place with a higher than average price tag for food, an attempt at a high end feel judging by their neon signs and 'modern' attempt at decor, and an added outdoor patio section that's really only there because the inside is too small, I felt it fails on many different levels.

I won't be going back and wouldn't recommend others to go either, it's really not worth it.

Very good food, and I'd go again if maybe a friend wanted to go try it, but I don't think it's something I would regularly go and get. The servers were very courteous and the food came out freshly cooked, so I didn't mind waiting (ordered the breakfast molcajete, which takes a little longer). Food was worth the wait. It is on the pricier side, but everything is these days. The hostess was nice, but they took kind of long to seat us (family of four). I saw that they set up the table for us right away, but took a while to finally seat us there. Everything looked clean, and they have an A letter grade.

So today was the first time I went to this establishment and it was a disappointment. Mainly for the fact that a few people have said it was good. My experience was ok. First my waiter was very nice and fast. I had a coffee which was given to me with a dirty spoon. My waiter said they forgot to polish it. To which i said so you just rub the marks off and not wash it after? I work in a facility with a kitchen and when this happens its washed by hand than sent to the dish washer to sanitize. My food came quick. I ordered the chilaquiles with eggs.The beans were cold and tasted old. My chilaquiles tasted like they just got the chips from last night and put sauce over them. They were still good. I ate pretty much everything except the beans. The only hot item were the eggs. My potatoes were luke warm. Over all i didnt like the food. The waiter was very nice however.
*i never used the spoon i just poured creamer into the coffee
