“This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in all of San Juan Capistrano. The atmosphere is wonderful and the food is delicious and not overpriced. The Happy Hour is the best deal around. You get so much food and drink for so little price. The service is absolutely the best. I HIGHLY recommend this place!“

“Always amazing food and Staff“

“Busy place, tasty food. Went back to try the burritos and not disappointed. Loved my licuado, papaya and carrots. (Smoothie). Also, the aguas frescas, watermelon and pineapple, yuuuummmm!. Did not rate atmosphere bc, well open shopping center: has tables outside, clean bathroom....it was super hot one day, and today, a lot cooler with a breeze, yay!“

“I have been coming here for over 4 years and Annalee’s margaritas are hands down. She brings her own squeezed lime juice and there is another ingredient she won’t tell us. She is always polite and friendly. She knows when it’s time for another drink. She pays attention to all of her patrons and ones coming in.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The staff is very nice.
I got an enchilada meal, 2 cheese enchiladas, and it wss rich and
satisfying.
I got a bag of chips and it is a good reminder that they have the best chips around.
I have to come for taco Tuesday“

“This El Pollo Loco location is always solid! The chicken is perfectly fire-grilled, juicy, and full of flavor every time. The sides are fresh, the portions are generous, and everything tastes made-to-order. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean and well maintained. Quick service and consistently good food — definitely one of my go-to spots!“

“Came for a California burrito w/ Shrimp - They said it’s not on the menu but they can make it. It was one of the best burritos I’ve had - meat had a little more cumin but overall amazing burrito - Piping hot, perfectly wrapped.

Wish they can add it on their menu!“

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

“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!“
