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

Dined at Gema to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Overall, we were disappointed with the food. We ordered cocktails, two appetizers and 4 main courses. The short rib main course was good, everything else was fair. This was the consensus of all 4 of us in our party.

Awesome food, all gluten free! Staff were excellent and knowledgeable about the menu. The Tomahawk steak was just the best, delivered by the chef himself. Great unusual cocktails and a hefty bill, but worth it. Would go again.

Trying to be honest here. We got a gift certificate to Gema and were excited to experience this place. In full disclosure, we love great food and atmosphere but typically prefer not to spend our money on hyped "foodie" restaurants. As a point of reference, Pizza Port is more our speed. That being said, everyone that we interacted with at Gema was spectacular. The hostess was kind and welcoming and our server was probably one of the most enthusiastic we have ever had. One of our biggest issues was their complete lack of accommodation. There are NO substitutions and although they say that they will try to accommodate you, they don't mean it. My wife asked if they could make her a mocktail and the answer was a firm no. Total bummer. And you have to order EVERYTHING upfront. The food was good, but not exceptional. We had the Tlayuda (highlight of the dinner), Chili Relleno (dry and no flavor), Gordita (delicious but crab was lost in the dish) and the swordfish, which was delicious. 2 non-alcoholic Agua Frescas, 2 Modelos, a shot of tequila and a rose. Total with tip came out to $250. Atmosphere was upscale casual and the vibe was great. Our entire experience lasted a little over two hours, due to the speed of the service. Personally, I love a long dinner but if you are in a rush, this is not for you.
