Shrimp tacos were our favorite. Also, we really like the Beria and the fried fish We also loved the nachos and even better was the drink of the day which was pineapple Fresca so, so good. Service was very good. I think our server was Alicia, but I could have the name wrong. She was a young girl,
and she was very wonderful and she had her hair in a bun. The only thing that could possibly improve is having may be a little less spicy salsa or pico for the people who don’t like too much spice. Wonderful seafood, can’t wait to try more dishes.

Best Tacos in San Juan Capistrano especially with a margarita on the side. Serves more than just seafood. Authentic Mexican food to a T. Absolutely amazed by this hidden gem in San Juan Capistrano. The best Mexican Food in San Juan Capistrano. I wanted d to come here a few times before leaving an honest review and I made sure to bring my camera on several occasions. Was not expecting the level of food presentation that I received. The Pulpo Ceviche, mango salsa, Pico de Gallo are so delicious. My favorite has been the seafood stuffed pepper, Chile Relleno with Dungeness crab, shrimp and an amazing sauce. Quesabirria also available. I liked this place better than Sol Agave up the road and other restaurants in the area. It is a family owned local business and the staff are so friendly. Their specialty is the Zarandeado.
