EL ADOBE DE CAPISTRANO
authentic Mexican cuisine
The old El Adobe restaurant site has been recognized as a California State Historical Landmark. Situated just two short blocks south of the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano and the Train Depot. The building was originally two separate structures. The northern section was originally the home of Miguel Yorba Adobe, built in 1797. The southern half housed the Juzgado (court and jails) and was established in 1812.

If you're visiting San Juan Capistrano and feel like Mexican food, El Adobe is the spot...President Nixon thought so. Great food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommended
