18 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.“

“El Adobe never disappoints. The food is absolutely incredible—so delicious that we always clear our plates, and that includes the kids, which says a lot. You truly can't go wrong with any dish on the menu. The drinks are just as good and always perfectly made. The service is consistently friendly and top-notch, making you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. On top of that, the ambiance is lively, fun, and full of character. El Adobe has become our family's favorite spot, and it's always our go-to restaurant whenever friends or family are visiting from out of town. It's memorable every single time.“

“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.“

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

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

“Always amazing food and Staff“

“It is somewhat chaotic the ordering of food. There's is a line and have to know what you want from the menu ahead of time. If you are not familiar with their food or have questions, staff does not have answers. There is a separate line for drinks but you got to wait in the same line of the food people to come to cashier, oder and pay.“

“Have been here multiple times and they have been consistently serving authentic Mexican food. There’s seating indoors and a few tables outdoor. We got the. Carnitas, birria and carne asada tacos and all of them were delicious! Do give them a try.“

“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.“

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

I got an enchilada meal, 2 cheese enchiladas, and it wss rich and
satisfying.

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

“So everything was good. Workers we're nice. Didn't have to wait for the food very long at all. But only one thing that I have to put out there... the new Caramel Flan dessert, absolutely disgusting. I highly suggest getting the churos instead.“

“This place is legendary, what a vibe. This is the dive bar we all need in our lives. Bartender poured them heavy which is appreciated and great prices. We even bought some hats because they were so dope. Band was awesome and just made for a great ending to our night. Do it, go… I dare you not to have a good time! :)“

“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!“
