They have a large selection of beer and wine, plus some fresh produce, basic supplies, tortillas, and lots of yummy homemade salsas (the medium salsa verde is quite good). They even have a deli in the back that serves lots of Mexican-style meats and takeaway items. I came by to buy tomatoes, salsa, corn tortillas, and cilantro to take down to my camping site on the July 4th weekend. Everything was really fresh and yummy! Definitely recommend checking this spot out when you're in San Onofre.

Primos is actually a small mexican market with a working kitchen, lots of food to go. There is no seating area. The service was quick and friendly . I tried the adobado tacos and a fish taco. The tacos are street size, small, but they pack a lot of flavor. The adobado pork was a little salty for my taste. The fish taco was delicious. The cream sauce they use is full of flavor. The market had lots of sample to try, including their homemade ceviche, a must. Great deal and tasty tacos.

The closest non-expired options were only good for a few more days, but I ended up buying them anyway because I needed them. I also saw some cute strawberry glasses and asked an employee who was stocking right next to them about the price. She said she didn't know and told me to take them up to the register to find out, which wasn't very helpful. Overall, the store felt kind of depressing. At checkout, the cashier (who was wearing a mask) was openly complaining about another employee not helping, while a coworker mentioned he was the only one on shift and stretched thin. I know these are all small complaints but they add up.

I pumped the tire up and I could hear the leak, but it appeared I could get it to Holley's Tire across town. (stick with me, this is actually a review of SC Ranch Mkt, also see my review of Holley's Tire!). Holley needed the car for about an hour, so I decided to find some place to fill my belly with some good grub within walking distance. Still on my journey to find the best breakfast burrito in the San Clemente metropolitan Tri-State area, I searched Yelp for something nearby. SC Ranch Market came up and I headed out as it was a couple minute walk. The restaurant and bakery are attached to the SC Ranch Market but I am not sure if it is the same name or different. My bad for not figuring that out. Upon entering, I saw the menus hanging above the counter and there were a huge amount of choices of tasty Mexican fare. I concentrated on the breakfast burrito section to see what I wanted. While there were some interesting choices, I went with the basic breakfast burrito with sausage. The BB is eggs, cheese, beans. After ordering and paying, I headed to a table to await my tasty breakfast treat. There are several tables near the door. The tables were all dirty, so I tried to choose the least dirty one and then got some napkins to wipe off the remnants of other people's breakfasts or dinners. Kinda yucky. Finally, I was called to pick up my burrito. My extra large breakfast burrito. Dang it was heavy. I lugged the log o' burrito to my semi-clean table and the table was able to handle the heft of this brute. I was nervous. A cool thing is that they have a nice salsa bar with some great choices and other condiments. I got a couple of tubs of salsa to try them out. Spoiler alert, they were both great salsas. Got that out of the way. The burrito was large, it was hot and it was one of the best breakfast burritos in the local San Clemente area. Eggs perfectly scrambled and cooked. Tasty, tasty beans. Soft, warm, grilled (always a fav of mine) tortilla. Melty, gooey cheese to bind it all together. A five star breakfast burrito. You will not be disappointed if you get one and I highly recommend that you should. After only eating half, I was actually pretty full. That did not stop me from stuffing the rest of the tube of deliciousness down my throat. I could not stop eating it. Go to SC Ranch Market and order a breakfast burrito. It is in my top 5 in the San Clemente area. You will not be mad at me for referring you to go. Bring a moist towelette to wipe off the table and you are good. Just go. Take it out if you don't like the tables. Try all of the salsas. Oh wait, I forgot one amazing fact. IT WAS $8.99! Less than 9 bucks for a massive, delicious, breakfast burrito. Where can you find that? Where? Tell me where! Just go. Stop what you are doing and go. Please go. I'll even throw in a moist towelette... Go! Eat Well!! Have Fun!!!

We came in to San Clemente'sFarmers market It's been awhile…read moreand it was a perfect day A little rain but this didn't stop us Our first vendor squash yellow pan mini's and squash blooms He was great I was talking to him and he was nice He thru in more squash blooms He add Air in the bag so the blooms won't get damaged I wish they had more vendors but everyone one was friendly, one farm is from Clovis by Fresno 5 hrs. Away we bought delicious apples and olives Almond butter we tasted was good too! But we need to finish what we have first. But let me say The coconut Almond butter was delicious She gave us samples I will come back for this for sure. There was a vendor selling Cimichurri that was good we bought 2 jars 1 for and my niece bought one also We enjoy the lady who sells Tamales she was so sweet and told us how she doesn't use lard But the masa was so soft and white She gave me her secret on her masa On the smoothness I really enjoyed the Chicken w/ green chili And also had chili relleno tamal Very good too That a 5 for me In flavor and masa They are pricey but good You get 3 in pack. But the variety is a lot She have only ran out of one kind But she had savory to sweet. We tasted a sample Of sweet corn, and scallions that was good I would never think that combo But yes very tasty Walking around the flowers were pretty I pick a big bunch of eucalyptus the silver dollars So big $5.00 We enjoy the day until next time

Parts of the farmer's market are located on the sidewalk, which can make it very difficult to walk when it gets crowded. Although it was pleasant to visit, I didn't see anything that I wanted. The tomato vendor had beautiful tomatoes. But, I found that most of the other produce seemed a bit wilted. The plant vendor's prices were very reasonable and he had a nice variety of air plants at great prices. Chaupain Bakery has a stall for a quick stop for a pastry. The bakery is walking distance and so worth a visit. Overall, if you're in the area , it's a nice stop. I just wouldn't go out of my way to visit.

March is definitely spring season and there were so many fresh flowers at store front. Picking up groceries was mainly the purpose of the day. From snacks to salads to basically anything you might have forgotten in your toiletry bag. Price is always right, service from all clerks and cashiers are very consistent whenever you visit any Trader Joe's in any state. What I didn't expect to see was crowds and crowds of customers at this location, and the store clerks were extra friendly. Also bought a bunch of reusable canvas bags to use on the way home and more to give away as gifts. Trader Joe's is always a must go whenever on the US Mainland.

It feels like a local spot with endless options to enjoy. Their baristas (Lucy is the best) can make everything but also don't shy away from suggesting something new. I've recently fallen in love with an iced flat white with vanilla for a little summer sweet treat. Their drip coffee is divine too! Talk about range... we frequent for brunch/lunch/date night too. Their wine list is truly endless. You can sit inside at the bar, at a gorgeous table with air conditioning, under their adorable pink-striped umbrellas on the patio, or in an extended patio off the sidewalk with plenty of seating. You will be treated with exceptional service regardless of seating. Their brunch menu is delicious. Their chive biscuit breakfast sandwich is incredible, as is their breakfast burrito, chilaquiles AND biscuits and gravy. To be fair, we visit most regularly for a cheese board and meat with a glass of wine. Recently enjoyed the ceviche and smash burger with side-winder fries which was hand crafted and filling. Even our young boys enjoyed every bite. On Sunday's (1st and 3rd of the month) they have live music which is wonderful. Last thing, the cellar cookie is incredible. It's hard to just drop in for a coffee and not leave with one when available. You will never regret a visit to The Cellar! One of the best places in San Clemente.

It was the kind of place where sharing plates and a bottle of wine make sense. From my visit, we tried the Charcuterie & Cheese Board, sliders, ceviche, and the Burrata Salad with grilled peach. Everything was solid, but the Burrata Salad was the clear favorite. The combination of creamy burrata with grilled peach, heirloom tomato, fresh herbs, and the bright vinaigrette had a great balance of sweet, savory, and fresh flavors. It was the dish I'd come back for. The other plates rounded out the meal well, especially for sharing, and the wine selection was a highlight. For tips, I'd come ready to share several small plates and take advantage of the wine program. Since the room can get busy, expect a more energetic experience during peak times rather than a quiet dinner. This is a good fit for date night, catching up with friends, or anyone who enjoys wine, cheese boards, and a lively downtown San Clemente setting. The only small drawback is that the busier atmosphere may not be ideal if you are looking for a calm, intimate meal.
