“I walk in to fragrant Indian spices. My mouth immediately starts to water. The appetizer comes out Some kind of vegetable dumpling my son ordered. One bite dipped in an incredible mint curry sauce and I'm in Nirvanna. It only gets better from there... SO GOOD!“

“One of our favorite places to eat in Orange County. We always bring visitors here because of the fantastic atmosphere. And the fact that it was built when it was still Mexico is such a cool cultural bit, it's also haunted spooky! We had our graduation party here for our daughter, 13 people, people and they did such a fabulous job taking care of us, I just can't recommend this place enough. Go check it out.“

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

“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!“

“Super fresh, smelled clean inside. Owner is quite friendly and really cares about making a nice bowl.

Got the large bowl with brown rice, and a selection of great sides and toppings. Not *too* many, but each one worth considering. Flavors and spice level were spot on, not too salty or sweet, which highlighted how good the fish choices are.“

“It's a very nice place with indoor and outdoor seating. The service has always been good. We've been here several times. The service and food is always consistently good. There's a nice selection of dishes. The salmon isn't farm raised which is a plus and hard to find these days.“

“Great place to dance. Lots of energy. Older crowd a bit (like 50s up) but some younger as well. Eveeyone was moving to Monkey Puddle who were superb. Great dance floor with fans (I think one vent for AC directly above middle of the dance fair might be not working well, but there are others available as well as a casual outside area to sit and drink and get fresh air). Copious amounts of free ice water was much appreciated. Cheap well drinks.“

“Yummy food. I went for lunch and was extremely impressed“

“Yummy food, great drinks and service!“

“Always amazing food and Staff“

“The restaurant is self service style where you order at a counter, take a number, fill your drinks at a fountain, and wait for your food to come to your table.

The food was tasty and portions generous, only downside is the prices are a little high. Might be worth it if you're looking for a good sit-down meal in a comfy and clean atmosphere.

They sell plenty of options of cuisine including burgers and sandwiches, breakfast, and Mexican food.“

“I love the vibe and environment but the food was the best!!“

“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!“

“Just love this place!! This past week our group was there for an early dinner and we were treated with such great customer service. Our server, Taylor, was so attentive and friendly and quick to respond to any of our requests. The food was so good and the ambiance was lovely.“

“I've seen so many great shows here. Every seat is a great seat...food is good too. Fond memories seeing Ace when he came through a few years back.“

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

“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.“

“I mostly always build my own omelette and its always amazing. Great fast service with a smile😎“

“Guys, I dunno what to tell ya... even when they are having a bad or off day, this place is still the spot to go. They never disappoint. 6 of us went in last night around 7:00 PM and it appeared there was only one person serving the floor and one bartender serving the bar area. Our server, Leslie C, did not make it even seem that way. She took great care of us and was keeping us informed along the way as well. I have a lot of health concerns and they were very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind about it. More servers like her. She deserves a raise, y'all!“

“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!“

“Excellent place to eat/ snack/ drink/ dessert, relax, hang out, shop, or people watch at various hours of the day. Many choices to select from. Lovely views, enjoyable ambience, and plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Nice areas to walk around. There are restrooms. Depending on what you order you can spend anywhere from a few dollars to plenty more. It can get busy and wait times certainly vary from a few minutes to almost 30 minutes. Good place for all ages and groups.“

“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.“

“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“

“We came for lunch right after visiting the mission. It was right across the street and we wanted to try a different lunch spot. The food was great. We ordered steak and shrimp and a Shepards pie and calamari as an appetizer. The drinks were great and we enjoyed some music from the patio. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back. The only odd thing was when our waitress came to take our order, I asked about the drink menu and was asking for recommendations and she seemed confused about my questions. She didn’t offer any suggestions and when I asked about a drink on the menu, she asked if I wanted a shot of grapefruit juice.“

“The food is flavorful and there are many options. Quesadillas, burritos, and tostadas of every protein. Many sauces: tomatillo, tomato, mole, avocado, and more. The ingredients are fresh without fat. And also the price: $17 for two large plates.“

“The staff was very kind, accommodating and generous! They even thanked us for coming in today even though we came about an hour before closing. The regular pizza is amazing, and the gluten-free pizza was also delicious. Very unique atmosphere and decorations! Tables could have been a little cleaner, but overall, we would definitely go again!“

“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.“

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