I preordered my Acai bowl immediately when I got off my metrolink train. I ordered the Cali Bowl. Once I reached the store, I was greeted immediately by one of the staff members. I let her know I was picking up an online order. It was ready before my arrival. I had a thought to eat my bowl at the beach but it was windy & also didn't want seagulls to attack my food .. Anyways I decided to eat my bowl right outside of the store. They have stools and a bar style table available for you to enjoy your food. I received a reusable insulated bag with my order. The regular size was quite filling so I ate half then an hour later finished it while chilling at the beach.

Another great visit! The Tahiti bowl hit the right spot. Topped with granola, blueberries, banana, and strawberries. I had some in store and the rest later at night for a delicious dessert! Clean place, seating inside and out and quick service.

This Acai Republic location was super close to our AirBNB while in San Clemente recently, so I stopped by twice for breakfast! The first visit I walked in and ordered with a friend onsite. Ordering from a terminal vs a human is not my favorite, but it was pretty straightforward, so we figured it out. We quickly noticed that there was only one person working, and we waited quite awhile for our orders. This was a bit frustrating, but the acai bowls were delicious, made with fresh ingredients and care. We took them to go and enjoyed once we got there. The next day, my daughter asked for another one, so I pre-ordered on the website this time. It was ready when I arrived. I recommend this if you're not wanting to wait. I would definitely return for fresh acai and juices in the future... fun vibes despite slower service. Enjoy!

Went for a walk at the pier and when we walked back to the car we got a flyer for Açaí republic. Decided to then go get an açai bowl. I got the Cali bowl and the person was helpful. I like their menu and it was hard to decide on which one because they all sound great. Would definitely come back again. They have tables and you can also sit outside.

Food and service are awesome. Staff and G was super friendly. Glad we found this place. Highly recommend

We had cash and said they would not accept cash so we had to wait for someone to bring us a card then they started making our drinks. 20 minutes after that they came back to the front and we told them that someone is coming with a card and then they said "well we accept cash but card is preferred." We then paid with cash and got our smoothies. Let's just say they tasted horrible. They were watery and tasted like medicine. So if ur looking for a açaí or smoothie place don't go here!! Also 2 small smoothies were 20 bucks!! Not worth the money at all.

Their açaí bowls - I recommend the The São Paulo - it's amazing!

I order fresh OJ from here pretty often. It's not cheap, but a good size and tasty, so it's worth the splurge; however, last time I ordered, you could tell it was bottled juice and not freshly squeezed. I had bought one the day earlier and had a little leftover, so could easily compare taste and appearance to see it was definitely bottled. At least explain this and have the offer of a refund/credit instead of trying to pass off fresh for bottled juice. read more

Five stars all the way. The nicest, most patient guy worked the front today. We came in an absolute hot mess with three tired kids straight from the beach, and he could not have been more kind. He took his time, let us try samples, answered all of our questions, and never once made us feel rushed or like an inconvenience. That level of customer service makes such a difference. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend. read more

Terrible customer service.

My wife and I stopped in to Acai Republic over the weekend and had a very nice experience. The gentleman working (didn't get his name but he is from Brazil) was very nice and went out of his way to make it an enjoyable stop. He gave us a free bowl of fruit for our toddler and let us try a Brazilian soda. The bowls were good and reasonably priced. It was walking distance to our VRBO so also very convenient. We'd definitely go back if staying in that neighborhood again. read more

Who doesn't love a good acai bowl?? Acai Republic is the real deal. I had the medium and it was perfectly satisfying. Lots of fresh fruits, granola and the star of the show is the acai. They are located in the north end of San Clemente next to the Dominos pizza. The vibe is beachy and the service is always so friendly. Very prompt too. I have also had their cappuccino coffee and it is splendid. Just as good as any barrista would prepare. You will love this place!! read more

They added eggs and bacon today. Maybe, for Easter? I really liked the tritip, seasoned sirloin, most of the filet mignon, sausages, family said shrimp was delicious. Now with the cons. After the first round of meat, we hardly saw much of them again. Maybe, in spurts. We would try to make eye contact but I guess it was kind of busy but still not an excuse for the gaps in service. Some of the meats were salty which we just ate more of the unlimited mashed potato. For unlimited meat and salad buffet, we didn't even stay long. I have gone to 3 other Brazilian steakhouses and this one is my least favorite. This one just doesn't live up to the other ones. I felt the price tag was outrageous for the quality given. I have never had to wait so long to be attended to either in other restaurants. My husband did not care for the place at all. My daughter was bleh about her first time. We just expected better than what we received. Isaac was the best part of our visit but I doubt we will ever come back.

This was one of the best meals and a truly wonderful evening. My husband and I were going to a…read moreshow not far from there and we looked for a nearby restaurant to eat at beforehand. I was a little bit intrigued about the moqueca and when we arrived, our waiter Dave explained everything to us and we decided to split the mahi-mahi Moqueca and it was delicious. We also had the shrimp appetizer and green collared with extra garlic Yum Yum Yum Even though we were stuffed, we could not turn away the chance to try the passion fruit mousse and the guava cheesecake All I can say, is the restaurant is great. The food spectacular and if you're lucky enough to have Dave as your server, you'll be as happy as we were.

Went here for Mother's Day, and although it was very crowded due to the day, the experience was…read moregreat overall. I've been to Fogo many times, and this was the first time checking out Texas de Brazil, and I have to say, I think I like Texas De Brazil better! The meat service at the start of the dinner was admittedly slow for what looked like the entire restaurant, there was a solid 10-min where no meat was coming except for a chicken sausage. I think that is because they were cooking the meats, because soon after, a bunch of meat started coming out of the kitchen all at once. The quality of the meat was great! The salad bar I think is better than Fogo: I felt the veggies and salads tasted fresher and the area around the salad bar was cleaner. The cheese bread and plantains were amazing as well, much better than Fogo for sure. Overall, I really enjoyed this place and if I am craving Brazilian BBQ again, I'll head over here.

Celebrated Mother's Day early at Texas de Brazil with my son, and overall we still had a nice…read moreexperience. The salad bar alone is one of the best restaurant salad bars I've ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and the chimichurri is honestly the best I've had outside of homemade. I also personally think the meats here taste better than at Fogo de Chão. This visit wasn't as strong as previous ones though. The meats were not seasoned as well this time, and there weren't many well-done options available. Some medium well cuts were coming out bloody and a little tough, and a few meats weren't as hot as they should've been. The biggest issue was consistency with the meat service. We were sitting near the bar area (not at the bar), and it took a long time for meats to come around. We kept requesting certain cuts and they either took forever or never came until much later. This has actually happened to me before here too. That said, our waitress R.H gave some of the BEST customer service I've had in a very long time. She was AMAZING. From start to finis. She should be head trainer! Lol She kept checking on us, putting requests in, and really trying her best to make sure we got what we asked for even when the meats still weren't coming out quickly. Some of the churrasco servers were also really good about making sure we eventually got certain meats. Overall, it was still a nice Mother's Day experience and I definitely left full and happy spending time with my son. I just wish the meat service was faster and more consistent because this place really does have amazing flavor potential. One thing I noticed there was a guy walking around our entire visit with a CIA demeanor. I believe he could have been a GM. Blue shirt on. Walking around just looking and never once greeted, smile or asked if anyone was doing ok. They should have a friendly person who likes being around ppl & understand customer service. & knows how to really be in charge the correct way handle that position. Restaurant is nice & clean. Dim lighting.

Izzy, you won't believe what just happened! I went to Acai Republic and OMG, it was like stepping into acai heaven! First off, the bowls were so colorful, it was like a rainbow exploded in my mouth! I took one bite and I was like, "Is this magic?" The acai was so smooth and sweet, I felt like I was eating a cloud. And the toppings? Don't even get me started! They were piled so high, I thought I was climbing Mount Everest! The staff? They were so nice, I wanted to invite them to my birthday party! They made me feel like a VIP, and I was like, "Am I famous now?" and OMGGGG did I mention this sweet girl named izzy she's like the sweetest person I've ever met! if you haven't been to Acai Republic yet, drop everything and go! Your taste buds will thank you! read more

The açaí bowls were really good, same with the music and beachy vibes, but when I was taking a little while deciding what to order, the lady rolled her eyes and seemed pretty annoyed. No worries though, I understand it could be pretty frustrating read more
