Coastal Cowboy CA Eats

by Dina Scaglione

What if you blended rustic cowboy charm with beach shack coziness… enter Coastal Cowboy, where the coastline meets the corral. San Clemente’s newest eatery, located in the heart of downtown on Del Mar brings an unexpected vibe, from the moment you enter. The menu reads like a love letter from the old west to its healthy surfer cousin featuring grassfed burgers, blackened fish tacos and hearty dinner entrees. Coastal Cowboy has perfected ‘refined fast casual’ — a hybrid of upscale fast food and traditional dining — when you walk in, head to the counter, place your order, find yourself a seat; and relax; your meal will be brought to you.

Committed to offering delicious and health-conscious fare, Coastal Cowboy boasts a seed oil free menu as well as vegan and gluten free options. Fan faves include the flavorful corn chowder, which takes this traditional bisque to a whole new level with sweet corn, coconut broth, potato, charred corn, and a kiss of parsley and cilantro. The Asian Cowboy Crunch salad features crunchy cabbage, green leaf lettuce, carrots, almonds, chopped chicken, tossed in spicy peanut dressing. The gluten free Crispy Chicken Breast Sandwich layers spicy lime crema with shaved cabbage slaw, garlic aioli, stacked on chipotle telera bread. Order it with a side of the tasty, seasoned to perfection beef tallow fries — they will have you rethinking what you ever thought you loved about traditional fries.

Choose from a wide variety of adult beverages including tap beer, traditional wines and elegant yet unfussy cocktails like the Coastal Kookumber Mash, made with gin wine base, mint, agave and fresh pressed lime juice. Another interesting drink to try is the tangy Aperol Spritz with cava, Aperol, amaro, blood orange, and soda water. Weekly specials include Wine Bag Wednesdays: select red or white, grab your $20 secret bottle and enjoy. Whether you are looking for a quick bite or prefer to linger over a fun craft cocktail, Coastal Cowboy enables you to choose your own dining adventure, with a bit of salty sea air freshness and cowboy grit.
