Restaurant Recommendations
Here are a few of our favorite spots that we have found during our time spent down in San Juan Capistrano: -Ubuntu Cafe (located at River Street Marketplace)--try the Brazilian Cheese Balls, one of Jillian's favorite items she frequently gets at their Long Beach location! -Mayfield (located on Verdugo St.)--try the hummus and the baba ganoush, Riley went crazy for it over Valentine's Day weekend! -Heritage Barbecue (located across the street from the Mission on Camino Capistrano)--a local favorite recommended by Jillian's godfather Michael Marvin! -El Adobe de Capistrano (located on Camino Capistrano)--Jillian ranks their margarita highly, and she has done a lot of field testing. Fun Fact: this was one of Richard Nixon's favorite restaurants!
