About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Santa Ana, Clemente Seafood Restaurant offers a vibrant culinary experience that seafood lovers and taco enthusiasts alike will cherish. This charming eatery prides itself on delivering authentic Mexican seafood fare that bursts with fresh, bold flavors and generous portions sure to satisfy any appetite.

The menu is a delightful journey through coastal Mexico’s finest offerings, with standout dishes including their celebrated Cocktail De Camaron, a refreshing mix of tender shrimp swimming in a tangy, zesty sauce that has diners raving. For those craving the ocean’s raw treasures, the Oysters and the Tostada de Ceviche shine with impeccable freshness and vibrant, citrusy brightness, capturing the essence of the sea in every bite. Fish Tacos here are another crowd favorite—crispy, flaky fish wrapped in warm tortillas, topped with freshly chopped salsa and a hint of lime that teases the palate.

Don’t miss the Whole Fried Fish, a show-stopping dish that arrives perfectly golden and crunchy on the outside, juicy and flaky within—each bite infused with delicate seasoning. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, the Camarones a La Diabla serves up shrimp cooked in a spicy sauce that delivers a slow-building heat, expertly balanced so as not to overwhelm the vibrant seafood flavors.

Complement your meal with a freshly poured Michelada or a cold Mexican Beer, perfectly paired to enliven your taste buds. The classic Salsa and Chips offer an addictive crunch and the perfect tangy-spicy dip to start your dining adventure. For a comforting, traditional twist, their hearty Menudo and garlic-infused Al Mojo de Ajo provide warmth and depth of flavor that remind you of home-cooked coastal Mexican cuisine.

Beyond the food, Clemente Seafood Restaurant exudes a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere where friendly, attentive staff make you feel like part of the family. Customers routinely highlight the hospitality and genuine care, noting that the portions are generous and the flavors authentically vibrant without being overwhelming, unless you request extra spice. A loyal visitor even describes the ceviche as the best he's found outside South Florida, underscoring the quality that sets Clemente apart.

While the ambiance is relaxed and casual—perfect for a comfortable meal with friends or family—the passion behind each dish and the fresh ingredients create an effortless dining experience that leaves you eagerly anticipating your next visit. If you’re seeking unforgettable Mexican seafood tacos and more, Clemente Seafood Restaurant on W MacArthur Blvd stands as a must-visit gem in Santa Ana’s culinary landscape.

    Super nice person. The food was good and really good portions. Not really spicy unless you request that from the beginning.

    was one of the empty restaurants there which is sometimes not a good sign. but i was totally positively surprised by the food and quality. the fish burrito was very fresh and tasted extremely well. some nice herbs and rice with cheese made it fit together perfectly. totally would recommend to go there. service was also super friendly and nice. only at the ambiente i rate 4 stars because it was quite hot there when i was there and the ventilation was off. would give it a bit more comfort when eating. service was fast. restaurant was clean. perfect!

    The ceviche de camaron was fresh and well prepared! They give you a small container of ketchup sauce and it was amazing very well done ladies and gentlemen!

    I have to say, they haven’t lost their touch even after all these years! They still have the same cook too, good for them . Back when I lived in S.A., I used to go to the one on 1st & Broadway as well as this location, and they never disappointed. The shrimp cocktails and 7 mares soup were always my go-to after a night out. I’ve long since moved away, so it’s harder to come by now, but I made it back today, and I was not disappointed one bit. I commute a lot and I've been coming more and more to OC do to work. So let's just say that you'll be seeing me more and more now.
