35 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.“

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

“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. 🤯“

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

“1/4/26:

Came back the second time with some friends.

1. Pear Favor cocktail: 4/5 - great, well balanced with flavors, sweetness and citrusy. I would prefer some spicy.
2. Cob Salad: 3.5/5 - good but lacked of flavors. The dressing was so bland, needs acidity, salt and pepper. Otherwise, it would be terrific.
3. Burger: 3.5/5 - good but I missed the umami, lacked of the charred smoky flavor.
4. Thai curry dish: 2.5/5 - ok, too sour and abit salty. The acidity overpowered everything else.

The service was good.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time at this restaurant. We had to sit outside because there was a party going on in the indoor part of the restaurant. Even though the heat lamp was on, it was still on the cold side. Through no fault of the restaurant, being outside on the patio facing the street, a car horn was going off for about 5 minutes which was very annoying. The waiter made several mistakes, I asked for no bacon on the salad and it came with bacon. My friends were half way done with their salad by the time my replacement came. The entree was very good, Tandoori shrimp, very tasty and unusual. I had asked for separate checks when we placed our order but when he brought the bill it was all on one check so he had to go back and redo it. I liked the food but not sure I'd go back. The menu didn't have a ton of options for vegetarians and I wouldn't want to get stuck eating outside if it was cold again. My friends enjoyed their meal as well.“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“Excellent everything!!!!!“

The pasta dishes were delightful, showcasing fresh ingredients and excellent flavors. Each plate was beautifully presented, and the portions were generous.

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

“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“

“Crivello’s Italian Bistro is hands down the best place for amazing Italian food! Every dish we’ve tried has been absolutely perfect—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is always kind and attentive. Highly recommend Crivello’s if you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine paired with outstanding service!“

“Great food, great vibes!“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“So happy that we discovered this SJC neighbourhood gem! Expect authentic, fresh, no-frills sushi and maki rolls, with wonderful chef and staff service (at the sushi bar). Our fave this visit was the 'Aburi Hamachi Roll', but we are looking forward to coming back often to try all the menu options!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“This is my favorite bar!! I’ve been coming here every week for over a year and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. I live for karaoke Tuesdays with G and the buy one get one free burgers. The fries here are my favorite ever, and these burgers are absolutely 🧑🏼‍🍳💋😍. The chicken tenders are incredible, the sausage rolls, the churro waffle sundae, fries sampler, everything I’ve tried here is incredible and I’ve never been disappointed. I’m very picky but according to my friends their roasted brussels sprouts and cauliflower is great too. Their December burger of the month is a must-try, I literally have dreams about it. Vivi is an incredible bartender, I am a lemonade snob and the Hennessey house-made lemonade with Tito’s is my all-time favorite. The margaritas are also great. I highly recommend this place. Good food, good vibes.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“
