LOVED THE PLACE OPEN DOOR FOOD IS GOOD
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!

Tavern at the Mission offers a delightful dining experience, featuring a variety of delicious meals. The menu includes prime rib dip sandwiches, pepperoni and sausage flatbread, onion soup, clam chowder, and halibut fish specials. The salmon taco, described as "to die for," is particularly praised. Guests also enjoy the ahi burger, French fries, pastrami sandwich, ribeye steak, carrot cake, and large fish tacos. Much of the food is made from scratch.
The restaurant boasts a beautiful location overlooking the Mission in San Juan Capistrano, with a patio considered the best in Orange County, providing a wonderful ambiance for a quiet dinner. Guests can choose to sit by the fireplace or outdoors, making it a perfect spot for celebrations or a casual meal. The patio is very nice, and live music from solo guitarists creates an enjoyable atmosphere without being too loud.
The establishment is known for its great service, attentive staff, speedy service, and reasonable prices. Guests have appreciated the upscale tavern-style cuisine, including the lobster Lois salad and the 18 Oz boneless ribeye, seasoned to perfection and topped with spicy butter and crispy onions. The food is exceptional, with big portions, and staff help guests with food allergies and diet restrictions.
