The Best Mexican Restaurant in San Juan Capistrano
Our dream began in late 2014, long before we became the “Best Mexican Restaurant in San Juan Capistrano”. It began inside a 17- foot food truck with the burning desire to change the way guests perceived food truck cuisine to be we have always believed that mexican food should be MORE! More complex, modern, enjoyable and healthier forĀ ourĀ bodies.
We are delighted to introduce our new partners Maiz Cocina Group, who like us started as a food truck and share our vision and dreams. We are excited for our future and can’t wait to see what GOD has in storeĀ forĀ us

Simply Amazing! The starting by all the great drinks, especially the margarita tasting flight! The food was perfect! We enjoyed every meal! The staff was super friendly! They were able to accommodate us without reservations in a busy night! So if you go there you have to try the butter cake! š I want to come back there just because of this cake!
We heard about it and went for a 3 birthdays celebration. I had Tamarindo cocktail, very good. I did taste my hubby's Cadillac, the liquors were abit more dominant than the sweet and sour lime juice mix, was good but didn't knock my socks off. The grilled pineapple cocktail was pretty good but overwhelmed with the smokiness. The guacamole sampler was good, the carnitas one stood out but the regular one was ok and the lobster one didn't have lobster chunks and the flavor didn't come thru. My chilean seabass was so amazing, cooked perfectly, flaky and buttery, I could taste the sweetness of the fresh fish. My hubby's steak dish was very good, the steak was tough for this kind of restaurant. A friend got a chile verde pork, the chile verde sauce was very flavorful but abit overwhelmingly tangy if not sour. And another friend's carnitas dish was very robust with flavors. The churos desert was crispy and airy. The butter cake was also good and rich for sure. We got a surprised Tres Leches cake for birthdays, delicious but didnt care for the mexican cinnamon "whipped cream" dollop, preferred vanilla whipped cream and fresh berries. The service was spot on, especially the 2 owners, Alfonso and Rafael, stopped by the table to greet and check on our dining experience. We really appreciated for the personal touch. Definitely will come back.
Dinner was delicioso! Excellent Food, decor and service. It was a busy Saturday night, sat outdoors with reservations. Inside had some big groups but service and the meal came out promptly. Shrimp taquitos are the best, tender prawns with crispy corn tortilla wrapped around them and all the flavors come together with the sauces and toppings. Chicken mole enchilada was tender and mole was on point. Carnitas were tender and crispy. Camarones enchiladas super flavorful. Margaritas refreshing and well made with top shelf tequila options. Service was friendly and manager came around asking how our dishes were.
Excellent first visit. Very friendly staff and manager, Alfonso. Really liked the table tortilla chips accompanied by pico de gallo and warmed bean dip, nice touch. I had the Sugar Cane filet, what a nice change from āstandardā Mexican fare. Great flavors, meat was excellent, cooked as ordered and no waste. Rice had sweet corn in it, very good. The chile de arbol crema was delicious. Recommended, we will be back.
Dish āMar y Tierraā Enchiladas, great ! Place is great. Servers are very attentive. Better quality food than Javierās
