COMPLETELY UNSATISFIED! this food was totally a disappointment. The food lacked all the flavor. I got taco Enchilada, bad taste, horrible rice, and pour quality meat and cheese. My sister had chicken fajitas, poor quality chicken, soggy, tastless,tortilla soup horrible. All dishes are over priced, no service, people are rude. Most basic food (Chips) were bad, seemsrecycled. the meat had absolutely no seasoning. The food was horrible I will never go back ! don?t waste your time and money onthis. Bad representation of what Authentic Mexican food is. And the service was also terrible, the waitresses showed nofriendliness, they look disappointed to be there as well. Bad service ???? they need ne...
This place has a lot good things going for it: dedicated vegan menu with several choices, burritos, enchiladas, and various specials really good chips and salsa and beans and rice right along the coast with ocean views lots of interesting authentic decorations, reminds me of Dia de Los Muertos I ordered the special potato enchiladas covered in a green mole sauce. It was expensive but quite tasty. The green sauce could have been a bit smoother but I’ve never had this dish before, so perhaps this is how it’s supposed to be. The beans and rice were just about perfect in taste and texture. Also yummy chips and salsa with a good kick to it. Lots of margaritas to choose from as well. Service was g...
I feel bad giving this place a low rating, but the extra star is for the cool location, nice ambiance, and good service. I appreciate that they offer a dedicated vegan menu, but the food was really underwhelming—almost like it wasn’t seasoned or salted at all. I ordered the mushroom enchiladas, which were way overpriced for what they were: just mushrooms in corn tortillas with a bland red sauce. Also, why aren’t the chips vegan? That doesn’t make any sense. Better luck next time.
This is one of our favorite Mexican food spots. The food of course is delicious and fresh. The chips, salsa, beans and rice are primo. Our criteria is if a restaurant can nail those, then everything else seems to fall in line. ???? It's nice to walk nearthe beach afterwards.

Great little place with a good vegan menu. The vegan bean dip is by far the best! We had enchiladas and potato taco that were very good. Beware that the chips are NOT Vegan. Jalapeno margaritas were exceptional!!
Great Mexican food, patio across PCH from the beach and ocean. Doesn't get better than this. I highly recommend the Tortilla Soup with chicken and the traditional chicken mole. Oh, and the jumbo margaritas! Yum!
I had the mushroom enchiladas and they were amazing. My family and I were very happy with the vegan choices. The food was great and the quality is excellent. They have both vegan and non vegan options here.
I’ve tried to visit Olamendi's Mexican several times, but each time the staff blame closing early—over an hour before the stated time—even though the signs, lights, and music are still on.

I've been enjoying Olamendi's at various locations in Orange County for 30 years. This location in Capo Beach is dear to me. The food, drinks and service are always top notch.
The view is priceless. The history is notable, and the staff was great. But... nothing could save the food, unfortunately.
