Maria Isabel Mexican

First time here Excellent service and great food I had a Menudo and a Mojarra with a Horchata I will definitely return Oh by the way, the guacamole

This is our new favorite restaurant and maybe one of the best Mexican meals I had. It is busy at dinner hour, but a bit before or after seem to sit fast. Great view of the basilica on the street. Open the terrace and the small seating area. Perfect size restaurant! The table service is a little slow, but they know what they do and just have to deal with the undercut. And as mentioned, food is phenomenal. literally everything on the menu is fantastic!

The recipes are truly unique and everything is handmade. The salsa is also unique as it uses the dried Japanese chiles from Mexico. The Chili Colorado is exceptional and partly because, I think, they add pumpkin seeds. Also the mol sauce is very complex and at a time it was told to come from Mexico. Try this restaurant!

Always a great meal here. Great menu. I didn't repeat a meal in three years and we're here 6-8 times a year. Chicken Verde is great. Great spices!

The best Mexican food I’ve ever had in my life. If you want authentic Mexican food made with love, this is your place. The outdoor patio is super cozy at night with the soft overhead lighting and sounds of The Mission Bells in the background with views of The Mission San Juan Capistrano. My favorite place to relax and enjoy some quality food. The owners are extremely polite and super friendly and can cook like no other. Plenty of vegetarian options as well if you desire. I highly recommend The Huevos Rancheros I discovered taste buds I didn’t know I had. Also, Breakfast is served 24/7 which is awesome since I prefer breakfast for dinner sometimes. Try it out and experience one of San Juan Capistrano’s local gems
