Food was delicious, but… This place is a little too foofy with the cuisine. It’s my fault I didn’t review the menu before coming (figured it was similar to Tamarindo which was there before). But it’s a Mexican place and you can’t even get chips and salsa? We dine at high end restaurants all the time so I’m not exactly pedestrian, though I felt like it here. Very limited mocktail options too. “Mocktails” are juices despite a fabulous looking cocktail program. I asked if any of the drinks could be made into a mocktail and got the whole “they’re crafted to be perfectly balanced” type of line. It’s nearly 2025 and lots of folks no longer drink. Disappointing. They were out of NA beer too. Server was attentive and knowledgeable. Food was truly delicious, but I left still hungry. For five of us, including a kid and a non drinking adult, our bill was nearly $500 with tip. The value wasn’t there in my opinion.

Incredible food made by scratch. The flavors and textures of the food were so unique and so delicious! Cocktails and wine all from Mexico. Entire staff is so passionate about the food!

Our dinner was more than a meal; it was an experience. The flavors and presentation will both be remembered. The ambiance was beautiful, and the service was next level. Lucca was attentive, helpful, knowledgeable, and passionate about the food. Can't wait to return!

Our server was really good, I want to make that clear. Reason for my poor rating was we waited almost 90 minutes for our food to finally just ask them to make it To Go as we weren’t willing to sit there any longer as we had a 2 year old with us and spending 90 minutes in a restaurant waiting for our food was too much to ask.

I’m amazed at all the great reviews. We ordered six different things on this menu, and all four of us agreed that the flavors just weren’t there. The food is way overpriced and our swordfish was cold. The service was really good, but it didn’t make up for the mediocre food. Save your money and go somewhere else .

Gema is quite possibly the best fine Mexican restaurant in San Clemente. The food options are gluten free, the fish and meat are delicious & fresh, the wine and tequila selection is top notch without the top line price! Definitely recommend Gema for an evening out with family and friends.

Wonderful food! Especially for those tired of Mexican street food being treated as real Mexican dinner food. This is the kind of great food that you get it at high-quality restaurants in Mexico. Real nice serving staff too.

San Clemente is truly fortunate to have Gema, a refreshing departure from the usual South of Nick's Mexican fare. It’s a treat for the senses, offering inventive flavors and fresh, vibrant ingredients that bring something excitingly different to the table. Gema is a hidden gem that deserves far more buzz in South Orange County's food scene—impressive in every way and absolutely worth the visit for anyone seeking a delicious, novel dining experience.

Service is always amazing & personal. They do take their time to explain each item but I don’t mind it here. We have tried most items & never had a bad meal. A little pricy but value is there
