A Hidden Gem in San Clemente – Tabouli Kitchen Is a Must-Visit
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tabouli Kitchen in San Clemente, and from the moment we walked in, we knew we had found something special. We were warmly greeted by the owners themselves who took the time to walk us through the menu in detail. What stood out right away was how thoughtfully the menu items were named after national parks and notable points of interest (e.g. Yosemite, Sequoia,Big Sur, etc), adding a creative and personal touch that reflects the spirit of adventure and care behind their culinary offerings.
The food? Absolutely fantastic. Each dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and surprisingly filling. It’s clear that quality ingredients and attention to detail are at the heart of everything they serve. As an added bonus, we were given a selection of salsas to sample, and I have to say, every single one of them was delicious in its own unique way.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy an unforgettable dining experience. I can’t wait...
Read moreTabouli Kitchen is a new resident in the area, we arrived just after they opened for the day. The food is amazing and I can see why they named the restaurant after their signature dish. The Tabouli is amazing and so full of flavor! I enjoyed a plate full of fresh veggies, quinoa hummus, gyro, falafel and yogurt sauce. The garlic whip is so good (you should not be around your significant other afterwards)They're still ironing out the the details when ordering, but when they find their groove it's going to be a line out the door! As we enjoyed our lunch, there was a steady stream of customers that seemed to know the menu already. This is good news for a restaurant barely past it's initial...
