20 Best Mexican Restaurants in San Juan Capistrano

“The best tacos I've ever had. Lots of fresh meat and they weren't dry like the kind at a more popular restaurant. The best deals are on Tuesday. We will definitely be going back for more. This place is great and I want to try their other items.“

“Always my go when I'm in town. I grew up in the area and it's still the same amazing hole in the wall restaurant. Great service with friendly staff. Always fun to see the owner still working onsite. I dream of these crunchy chicken tacos and house green sauce. It's fabulous.“

“The food and service at this restaurant are excellent. However, the noise level is off the charts and we went on a Wednesday, not exactly a normally busy day in a restaurant. I wish they would open the back patio for service in these lovely, warm summer months. It would be SO MUCH more pleasant out there! We will eat here less often because of the outrageous noise level. All hard surfaces and nothing to absorb sound. It's really TOO LOUD!“

“Great place and pretty authentic food and top margaritas.“

“Definitely authentic food. Service was fantastic. Friendly staff. Only disappointment are refills on soda are charged at a dollar each. When it costs less than 2 cents to fill up a soda and I spend almost $45 for my family's food, I think one refill should be free.“

“Always amazing food and Staff“

“I got here during close-up hours, so the atmosphere wasn't really much there. I did enjoy this place

Parking: There's not much to say. The parking was there. Only one other car besides me in a 30 parking available area“

“Place is great, I lived in central Mexico for years and can say this place is authentic and delicious. They also have a whole array of juices , Agua Frescas, an entire bakery, and a small convenience store/ butcher next door. A must try!

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly. Tons of food options

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible via wheelchair“

“I like Nono's Affordable Mexican food, and a front patio to also eat at. I like there enchiladas, tostados, tacos.“

“We used to live in California. We always make it a priority to hit Los Golondrinas when we return for visits. We are big fans of the breakfast burritos or chorizo breakfast tacos!... But all of their food is good. They make their tortilla chips there in the shop. Love their guacamole and salsa.“

“the food is more then what you pay for it tacos are big n all meat is delicious“

“Our first time visiting this restaurant and overall it was great. We sat on the "patio" section and we could hear each other talk which is a plus! The only reason for 4 stars is I'm not a fan of watching wrestling while eating. They have two TVs in that section and my 13 year old niece had to watch bloody matches while trying to enjoy her food. I would suggest turning the TVs off unless there is a specific event which would warrant watching them in that section. Overall though, our food was great and our service was great. We will return.“

“What a nice and quaint little gem for quick Mexican food. The interior is clean with a cute layout. The food was prepared in the open kitchen, which you can see over the cashier shoulder. The food was not bad at all, the rice could use a little more seasoning/salt, but over all not bad. Definitely give this place a try, and be turned off by unkempt strip mall.“

“First time there, and we had a great service.“

“The food is flavorful and there are many options. Quesadillas, burritos, and tostadas of every protein. Many sauces: tomatillo, tomato, mole, avocado, and more. The ingredients are fresh without fat. And also the price: $17 for two large plates.“

“This alpollo loco has been here for as long as I can remember. 20 years plus that's a testament to how long it's been there. It is what it is. They have what you expect. And they deliver. Can be busy at times. Weights can be long.“

“I didn’t smell a smoker and there isn’t a choice of sauces, but the three meat sampler we shared of brisket, smoked pulled chicken and pulled pork was quite tasty. And the fried dill pickle appetizer was one of the best we’ve had, with thinly sliced pickles and a nice coating.“

“Old watering hole from the 80's when i was in the USMC. Came to our 40th reunion and stopped in to wet our whistle and reminiscing about old times.

Beer is cold whisky is poured. What else can you say except drink up and have fun.“

“This is a good Taco Bell location.
Seems to be fairly new, dining area is clean, easy to find parking.
Typical Taco Bell fare, no issues there.
I found that I really like the “Breakfast Salsa”, good flavor with little bite.
My only complaint is that I asked for a drink carrier and told they didn’t have any. It can be difficult to carry multiple drinks.“

“Stopped at Del Taco on a whim - it was so good! The staff were super friendly and the food looked and tasted great!“
