"Just steps from Mission San Juan Capistrano, this historic spot has been serving traditional Mexican dishes since 1948. Part of the building dates back to 1797, once housing the town’s courthouse and jail — its former dungeon now serves as a wine cellar. Terracotta tiles, wrought iron details, and equipale chairs bring the restaurant to life. The lychee margarita, made with Astral Blanco, offers a subtle floral sweetness. But the real draw is the setting — a perfect stop for visitors looking for a taste of old California." - McConnell Quinn
