El Adobe de Capistrano

We have eaten at el Adobe since 1974. Always my favorite.Nothing like it used to be. Last night was the third time recently and sad to say the last. Waiters do not understand when ordering. Even the manager didn't come around . Table next to us had tacos brought to table. I was told I had to go to another area if I wanted tacos. I know that's the protocol but make it uniform from table to table. Sadly happened last three times but no more. Lots of other Mexican restaurants to chose from.....

Decided to get brunch here after Mass at the Mission; it did not disappoint for authentic california mex! A lot of food for the price

Kaela was absolutely AMAZING!!! I’ll definitely be coming back!! BEST SERVICE EVER!

Their 'Taco Tuesday' dinner specials are great. The three street taco deal is delicious and a great deal. Also, the table side Guacamole was awesome.

We treated east coast family to some authentic Mexican food and atmosphere at El Adobe and they LOVED it. They cannot get good Mexican food in DC so it was a real treat! Both of them ordered the President's Choice and they cleaned their plates!! I had the Cilantro Pepita Salad with Salmon and it was delicious - fresh greens, tasty dressing and the salmon was cooked perfectly! My husband chose the Blackened Fish Tacos which he also thoroughly enjoyed. The service was attentive but relaxed so we were able to enjoy a nice visit with our relatives without feeling rushed.

It's our little tradition to come here for my husbands bday every year. Never disappoints.

We came here for Sunday brunch and really enjoyed it. Large menu of breakfast items. Food was outstanding.

El Adobe de Capistrano is our favorite Mexican restaurant in all of OC! It's a bit of a drive for us to make for us but totally worthwhile. We ordered the cucumber cilantro margarita which was perfection - just enough zing, the right amount sweetness and balanced well. For dinner we ordered the cheese enchilada salad and carnitas tacos. The cheese enchilada salad is the best! You get a fresh salad with tasty cilantro peppita dressing and then two cheese enchiladas on the side - it's such a great option and so delicious!! Our server was fantastic and fun! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and loved our meal!!

The food and the ambience was great, but our server was awful. We had to ask for dishes. We had to ask for water. We had to ask your place our order, but the food was great and would definitely come back just because of that.

Chips and salsa always good. I like their enchiladas and chile relleno since I don't cook those at home.Service was excellent even though they were busy. We have come to El Adobe for birthdays, a wedding anniversary and a wedding.
