38 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants San Juan Capistrano

“Beef rib today was mostly fat It was pick up so no way to complain Overpriced Disappointing“

“Second visit to Limoncello and want to say the food is excellent in every way. Last night I had Arugula salad (very lemony dressing), the Risotto (outstanding) and chocolate gelato which was VERY chocolate. Topped with a nice wine. All Excellent. As for atmosphere, lots of large parties there last night celebrating Christmas and birthdays so was quite noisy, but 'tis the season. Highly recommend Limoncello. Food and service are excellent and above average. Menu is extensive with very different and interesting options. If they would have served a shot of Limoncello after dinner I would have thought I was dining in Italy.“

“Very pleasant to be surprised by genuinely good food and great service atop the "busy corner" in SJC. Pro tip: go early (4:30-6) for your choice of seats (with nice views) and the happy hour menu which includes some of the best small plates and cocktails. Bang Bang shrimp is a "must". Staff is super friendly too!“

“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.“

“The food is all amazing - family favorites are the Bacon Quiche (it goes fast), the pasta salad and the lavender lattes!😍“

“I’m from SC. I wanted to surf fish while here and brought a rod/reel with me on the plane. I’m here for 5 days total. On day 1 I wanted to try a local doughnut. I saw they had gluten free. I don’t need it but my kids do. I bought some from a dude in a flannel shirt. I thought it weird, but it’s California so whatever. I got them back to the place we were staying and we all sampled about six different doughnuts. 🤯 OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! I’m a Krispy Kreme lifer but DANG THESE ARE GOOD. Today I went back and bought 6 more. These are expensive so there went my fishing budget but it’s worth it because my kids and enlaws loved it. My father enlaw said the maple bacon should be illegal it’s so good. Listen there are a lot of choices here but if you are going to try just 1 or several this should be your first stop and if like me it will be the only one you need. I’m not big on California, sorry, but the only thing better than the weather and scenery are these incredible doughnuts. 🤯“

“Every cup is brewed with care, tradition, and a touch of serenity. Best place to make memories with loved ones,“

“Ok, so first up it was a bit pricey. But holy cow the burgers were all amazing, the place was clean, staff was wonderful. If you want ridiculously tasty burgers and don't mind paying for it... I'll give this place 5/5 stars for sure.“

“A classy and cozy setting with an abundance of tastings followed by a fun selection of some notable varietals. A nice range of dishes to complement our evening appetite. Includes a large sofa area and patio for casual gatherings. Memorable! Next visit soonest!!“

“We were in town visiting for Labor Day Weekend and ended up meeting some friends here and it was delightful. Everyone from the hostess to random staff were incredibly hospitable. We left something on the table and someone who didn’t even wait on us chased us down to return it, greatly appreciated. Food was exceptional, drinks were exceptional, and service was equally exceptional, believe our servers name was Jazmine and couldn’t have been a sweeter gal. They had a live band that was very enjoyable and weren’t so loud you couldn’t maintain a conversation, perfect vibe for a SoCal Saturday. Happy with our decision to meet there and would 100% be a regular if we were local. Check it out!“

“a truly wonderful restaurant and by far the best in San Juan and one of the best in Orange County. a cozy French country side atmosphere run an absolutely wonderful family. and it will.benopem for breakfast soon and I can't wait!“

“We found this little Gem recently and fell in love! Amazing food and the friendliest staff! I have Celiac disease and their menu offers me so many delicious choices! 💙“

“The best around, the bread is so fresh with a crunchy crust.“

“Favorite coffee shop in the area! Super friendly staff and delicious cold brew and iced matcha, especially their seasonal drinks. Home made granola is also delicious. If it’s your first time visiting, the line forms straight back from the register and goes out the front door… it does not curl inside. You’ll figure out what this means when you visit!“

“Note: reservations are a must during the weekend!

We decided to go there on a whim after a great massage next door and we're lucky enough a different party didn't show up to their reservation. We waited outside while one of the servers/hostess figured out somethings. Communication could have been better but alas we were seated and promptly served. Food was delicious! The Totoya roll is a must, it just melts. The salmon skin hand roll was super crunchy, caterpillar and eel and avocado rolls were smooth and velvety. Not too pricey but we also didn't order alcohol.“

“We came to celebrate a birthday and there were six of us. We were seated at a round table in the dining room, and it was perfect for conversation. The waiter who served us was excellent and he made guacamole for us table-side. He poured a champagne toast for us and mage sure we were well taken care of. The Mexican food selections at this restaurant are numerous and so delicious. “

“Had been about 25 years since our last visit and this was an eye opener. Excellent food and drink. Very comfortable with excellent service. Patio seating is very comfortable. Highly recommend if you like a great Italian American dining experience!“

“Easter Brunch 2023 was outstanding! So many options for a Starter, Entree and Dessert. Frankly, when our beautiful server came over to see what I wanted, I wanted ALL the starters as I have enjoyed them for years! The Filet Mignon eggs Benedict was perfect. The bottomless, large mimosas were so fun with choices of orange juice, pineapple or watermelon; I tried them all😊 We all passed around our desserts. The Crème Brûlée and Flowerless Chocolate Cake were standouts for sure“

“My wife found this little gem whereas we stopped in on a beautiful Saturday morning for brunch. Ramos Cafe did not disappoint. Brunch was delicious and the atmosphere quaint.“

“the food was amazing! service all of it! it’s so hard to find a good alfredo sauce
but this place knows how to make it well!
fresh pasta was soooo good
everything here was absolutely amazing
don’t skip on dessert either!“

“My husband and I had a wonderful evening at Tannins Restaurant. We kicked things off with the Shrimp Scampi and Cadillac Margarita—both were simply amazing! For our main course, we indulged in the surf and turf, which was delicious and perfectly cooked. We couldn’t resist finishing off the night with a delectable Tiramisu. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great dining experience.“

“Docent is Decent. Got me a Mouthful of Church on Time, 8.2 DIPA. Lisa has a Peel Top.“

“Good place to go to eat, even if you are not a golfer.
First visit, we sat inside, but there is a large outdoor dining area.
I had the Western BBQ Bacon Burger. It was good, plenty of bacon and tasty BBQ sauce. We also had the Butter Toffee Cake for dessert, very good.
Table service was a little lacking, but wouldn’t keep me from a second visit.
Prices are reasonable.
Recommended.“

“Our weekly treat for the grandkids this summer. They have so many delicious items and coffee is excellent and not overly pricy. I’m hooked on their matcha Perfect little gem for downtown San Juan“

“A's has the Best breakfast burritos and there lunch is also fantastic“

“Phenomenal experience every time! If you are not a member of the Rancho Capistrano wine club you are missing out!!!!“

“Great food, great vibes!“

“Awesome employees. Awesome service and always delicious food and drinks.“

“Our Server, Brian was outstanding! My friend is allergic to garlic and onions and he went out of his way to check with the Chef only to learn that onions had been fried earlier that day in the same fryer/ oil as my friends French Fries and would have been contaminated. He took our concerns to heart and made sure the food was prepared safely. Bravo Brian!“

“Haven’t been to this Starbucks in years, since I was stationed in El Toro and I still love it! It’s just so quaint and peaceful to me. The surrounding area is beautiful as well and the baristas are always friendly! � It was so nice to stop through there again.“

“You can only have 2- FAST, GOOD, OR CHEAP. Chick Fil A is fast and good. IN N Out is good but slow. Thats life. I love their ice cream soooo much, its a must. They offer orange soda which is kind of a rarity these days as well. Make sure if you order a chicken sandwich and you want all the vegetables and sauce on it, that you order the correct number And type.“

“My favorite morning routine is coming here and grabbing the delicious and fresh raw juice (tastes like its made with the freshest ingredients every time and I LOVE that they use the whole fruit and vegetable and its not too pulpy. Their juicer is high quality for sure), and a delicious salt bagel that isn't over done or too heavy. Not to mention, everytime I eat something here (even the sandwiches are delicious and they actually use enough ingredients to make it not to bready) my sensitive stomach doesn't hate me. They are definitely doing all the right things! Their coffee is always hot too and will offer to make more if they are out of your favorite. I look for the closest thing to a New York bagel everywhere I go. I have had some come close, but this one is the best!! They are also reasonable on pricing. They are friendly and work well with everyone. THANK YOU for your high quality ingredients, caring attitudes, and consistency with my orders. I can always find everything I need here. Also, I appreciate that DoorDash is available here so that I can continue my routine wherever I am!!“

“Great time .. and the most amazing food .. dubble bubble shot is a must here never in my life anything like this .. but the best ohh and the cabbage wrap Thai style is the best“

“First visit, I had the “special” (see photo) smash burger. Really good deal, only $6, instead of the normal price of $17.25.
Outdoor seating on the street side, was nice, friendly server did a very good job.
Irish Nachos was good, served on a hot plate.
Double patty “smash” burger was good, my only complaint was it really wasn’t a smash burger, because it didn’t have the normally tasty crispy edges.
Plate served hot, good fries with very good ranch style dip.
The best parking is a paid lot to the rear of the restaurant. But the walk to the restaurant is difficult, especially for a mobility challenged person, due to the steepness of the alleyway.
Recommended, we will be back.“

“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.“

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

“This place is awesome, under new Ownership who they really know how to make it happen, their food is great, drinks are also great, their entertainment is by far the best in San Juan Capistrano and their staff is really second to none!!!! A must !!! So if you are looking for the best place in town, this is it.“

“Great BBQ in San Juan Capistrano area. Meat is tender, flavorful and baby back ribs fell off the bone. we will be back each time we visit the area.“
