I recently had the pleasure of dining at Petiscos Clairmont, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a charming blend of modern and rustic decor that makes you feel right at home.

The menu offers a delightful array of Portuguese-inspired tapas, each dish bursting with flavor and creativity. I particularly enjoyed the Bacalhau à Brás, a traditional salt cod dish that was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Piri-Piri Chicken was another standout, with just the right amount of spice to tantalize the taste buds.

The service was impeccable, with the staff being both attentive and knowledgeable. They were more than happy to provide recommendations and ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect.

Overall, Petiscos Clairmont is a gem that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience. Whether you're a fan of Portuguese cuisine or simply looking to try something new, this restaurant is sure to impress.

Review is for breakfast only. Order the gringo, was supposed to come with chorizo, but came with bacon. No big deal, but it was probably one slice of bacon if that. Also no way there was more than one egg in the burrito. There was, however, probably a half pound of large potato chunks. Can’t recommend.

Great spot if you have a hankering for tacos and nachos! Presentation was pretty good, food look great! I thought the meat was a bit over salted but maybe that's just me, but the quality of the meat was pretty solid though a little chewy for certain cuts. Would definitely come here again though because I loved the ambience I'm just sitting outdoors with fresh air, eating tacos, you get the vibe!

A great find. This tiny outdoor eatery has a couple TVs and always plays the Dodgers games. Good prices for tacos, burritos, sodas and beers. The staff is friendly and there's a fire pit for colder nights. Enter on First Street or the alley in back. There's a nice serve yourself salsa bar. The meats are tasty but I have one suggestion: instead of store bought taco shells that get stale within a couple hours of opening, try real corn tortillas and deep fry fresh on every order...Id bet you'de see a big jump in sales. Your location is really perfect.

Ordered a chicken taco made into salad, beautiful and delicious. Back patio area was casual and cool, even in the middle of a hot July day. Cinnamon horchata topped it all off. There’s also a kid-safe axe and ninja star throwing game to occupy all. Update: went back the next day for a carne asada salad. Kids got quesadillas and chips.

Instant favorite! Fish tacos are killer, and worth trying.

Before getting the goods, I was immediately taken by the atmosphere, and vibe of the place. The backyard style outdoor seating is so neat. I arrived during the evening, so really enjoyed the patio lights and bench tables.

I tried Kobe Taco, Pork taco, and Fish taco. Immediately blown away by the fish taco. I had to get seconds. The Kobe and Pork tacos were tasty as well, but were in the shadow of the fish taco. Paired with the street corn, it's a lovely pair.

Highly recommend!! Definitely coming back for the burrito.

Quaint little place, with good food and friendly service! Outside seating only, it's like sitting in a friend's backyard. Lunch tables to be shared. Order at the side window and pick up at the back window. I had a chorizo burrito and the red sangria on this particular day. I've had their fish tacos prior to this visit they were delicious!
