San Clemente Ranch Market

Crema's Take

Tucked away from San Clemente's main strip, this unassuming market is a genuine neighborhood gem where Ricky and his dedicated team execute consistently excellent Mexican breakfast and lunch with impressive attention to detail—think fresh chilaquiles made right in front of you, stellar al pastor tacos that keep locals coming back for weekly Taco Tuesday, and housemade Mexican pastries that rival much fancier establishments. The combination of authentic food, generous portions at fair prices, and genuinely warm service from a staff that clearly takes pride in their work makes this feel less like a quick market stop and more like a cherished local institution.

Ricky is an outstanding manager and runs a great team here. The whole staff is amazing and always on point with customer service. The food is legit, fresh, and loaded with flavor every time. They also carry a great selection of local drinks, including my wife’s favorite Happy Dad hard seltzers. This spot always delivers and is worth coming back to over and over. Highly recommend check this place out ! Local spot is legit.

Im going to blow the lid off the best kept secret in San Clemente. This off the main strip, low key exterior, houses some of the best Mexican treats around. From tacos to dessert, Mexican sweet breads and cakes to coffee. We could smell the grill going from two blocks away and followed our nose til we saw the smoke coming from the roof stack. You want some authentic Mexican comfort food and awesome desserts, here is where you go.

I've lived here for 12 years and they still have the best Taco Tuesday deal around. Consistently delicious Al Pastor tacos every time! 10/10

The breakfast burrito was fairly priced and very delicious. The butche Taco wasn't my favorite but the al pastor Taco was delicious. the rice pudding was very delicious. I was very disappointed by the children's chicken tender meal the fries came drenched in oil they were not cooked all the way at all and the chicken tenders were also not cooked all the way and we're very greasy and rubbery they were so bad that I did not even feed them to my kids out of fear of them getting sick.

Some of the best chilaquiles I’ve ever had in California!!! They were made fresh right in-front of you!!! And portion size was generous and for a good price too ! Service was also very friendly, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for their Latin American fare needs!
