The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. I would come here any day over the mediocre popular tourist restaurants around.

I love the flavors of Mayan cuisine and this restaurant hits close to home with such delicious and savory food❤️, the service is great and every meal feels perfectly homemade and flavorful! My go-to will always be the enchiladas made with chicken stock sauce with the salsa, fruit, guac. I love this place and it will always be my go-to❤️

We found this location sometime during COVID. I wasn't sure if I remembered where it was. But I was so happy I found it again. Loved it again for the 2nd time. ❤

We came here to eat before getting on the road and we weren't even they hungry. LET ME TELL YOU BEST MEXICAN FOOD I HAVE HAD OUTSIDE OF MEXICO probably ever. None of that Americanized stuff. So good. Literally we couldn't stop eating even though we weren't hungry. You cannot go wrong

Outstanding Red Snapper fish taco plate. Friendly service and cute atmosphere.
Great food, produce and fish was as fresh as it gets. Great price and sweet environment. Server was super kind and cooks had great vibes. Highly recomend

The location of the restaurant is super cute! Very reminiscent of Mexico.
My boyfriend ordered the garlic prawns and I got the cochinita panuchos.
The pictures don’t do the food justice! The prawns were well seasoned and the dish came with fresh tortillas on the side.
I got the cochinita panuchos which come with 3 panuchos. It’s very filling! The bean stuffed maize patty is topped off with cold slaw and avocados.
The service was okay. The prawns were the only fish option available which was unfortunate since one of us is vegetarian.
Plenty of seating.

I almost didn’t go because I don’t *love* Mexican food in America but I saw reviews that said food is rly fresh and loved the variety of things I saw on plates so i went. Those reviews are 100% correct. Well seasoned, fresh ingredients FRESHLY prepared, and perfection portioned and served. Very friendly service, unassuming interior, very charming and unique atmosphere. Great for dinner for 1 or with lots of fam/friends. Server walked by to see if I liked the food, and all I could say was “this food is literally amazing” and I made eye contact with the chef!!! Highly highly highly recommend when in HMB.

Wow! We got off the main road in Half Moon Bay and found Cafe Capristrano in a quiet neighborhood on October 4, 2025. Don’t be fooled by the small older home-turned-quaint-casual restaurant. We were utterly blown away by the food. Best homemade chunky guacamole. The Mayan style chicken adobo was moist and tender. The garlic prawns were cooked to perfection. The cheese enchiladas with Yucatán style sauce were to die for. The Cochinita Pibil (pork slowed cooked in banana leaves) was tender and moist. Many of the dishes are served with generous and delicious portions of black beans, fresh salsa, fruit salsa, guacamole, rice, and Mayan coleslaw. The staff is friendly and make you feel right at home. We can’t wait to go back to try their other selections.

The food was awesome, and well thought out. Super cute little home converted into a restaurant. Always served with a smile and good energy.
Get the cochinita pibil and sit outside on a nice day!
