I could be here all day at one of these window seats. The ambiance and the staff are incredible. I’ve never had a bad meal or experience here.
Trevor's at the Tracks
Every one of these locations is beautiful and the chefs are incredible. Take your time here. Go on a week night for more of a mellow vibe and less busy.

My FAVORITE Mexican food in town. Get the margarita flight. Get the Jalapeño cream soup. Get the Mar Y Tierra. Live your best life.

Sports Bar Near Me | Public Golf Course Near San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente, Mission Viejo, Dana Point | San Juan Hills Golf Club
Always an amazing spot to bring people from out of town. Right in the heart of downtown with tons of places to wander around to after. Next to the train tracks for easy access and plenty to do in walking distance.
Ramos House Cafe
Quick eats
I know we don’t always have time to lounge around so here are some spots you can run in and out but still get the feel of our local community.
In the Rodeo building there’s a large “cafeteria” styled dining with plenty of food options from Hawaiian to Italian and the cookie shop at the end for dessert 🤤
River Street Marketplace
As a HUGE BBQ fan this place is a must try in my book. They catered my wedding, they are a quick stop for the perfect lunch or dinner. Or it's a sit and watch a game in the bar section for a hot minute. This place is everything to our locals.
Bad to the Bone in San Juan Capistrano, CA

Best Donuts in California!
