Trevor's at the Tracks

Trevor’s at the Tracks is a true gem in the heart of San Juan Capistrano. The location is unbeatable—set right next to the train station, making it a perfect spot for people watching and soaking in the charming energy of the town. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed watching the trains roll in and out while people came and went. It added a lively, nostalgic atmosphere to our meal. We ordered the Mac & Cheese with Chicken Parmesan and the Spicy Pasta. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The Mac & Cheese is rich and decadent—definitely a comfort food indulgence, and more than my mom could finish. The Spicy Pasta brought the perfect amount of heat without being overwhelming. Loved the fresh mushrooms, tomatoes and spinach in the dish. The service was top-notch. Friendly, attentive staff made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. Trevor’s is clearly set up to accommodate everything from casual lunches to larger gatherings, and the ambiance is versatile enough for any occasion. Whether you're a local or just visiting San Juan Capistrano, Trevor’s at the Tracks is a must-visit spot.

First visit, this is a great, very different location, with a train stopping literally next door. The “Pretty Bird Chicken Sandwich” ($24) was very good, served with very good fries and spicy ketchup. The food was served hot, in a very reasonable time. The “English Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake ($14), was just OK. I’ve had this dessert in England and this was a poor try at it, although it did taste OK. The service was good, paid city parking lot ($2 / hr), but the total experience was quite dear, not someplace to visit regularly. Recommended.

The food was absolutely amazing here! We tried the karate chip chicken salad and a chicken sandwich, along with the tropical cobbler for desserts. There was a moderate to long wait probably because it was a Labor Day weekend, but it was absolutely worth it! They were even kind enough to serve a patty for our dog! Adding to the ambiance was the live music that just made the experience even better. We'll certainly be visiting this place again!

This is a great place to chill with live music, good drinks and excellent food. The only (and not major) issue with the ambiance is the closeness of the tables on the patio. If you are next to a loud group - like some who don’t live here and ride the train from Santa Ana etc - it can be noisy. The food is actually outstanding. See attached pics.

Such a quaint area and ambiance. I recommend it as a cool experience to all. The flatbread I had was yummy. My friend has the short rib Bahn mi. I had the spicy Sicilian flatbread and it was great, the only comment I have is that one side of it was darkened crispy crust and the other side was perfectly cooked. Other than that it was a great experience.

First time here and everything we ate was delicious… kiddos loved the food which is always a win win!! Jasmine was our waitress and she was kind, attentive and informative!!! We definitely will be back!

It's an awesome old train station that has been turned into a beautiful restaurant. Great outdoor and indoor seating. They have love entertainment too in the patio. The Ahi tuna nachos were amazing. Also just across the train tracks is the oldest neighborhood in California, with great art stores. Great place to walk after a great meal.

We visited Trevor at the Tracks to celebrate our anniversary, and the setting couldn’t have been better. The restaurant is located in a beautifully restored 1894 railway depot, with a cozy indoor-outdoor vibe that adds so much character. We started with the Brussels sprouts which were crispy, flavorful, and definitely a must-try. The pasta was okay, but the English Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake stole the show. Moist, rich, and perfectly paired with the ice cream. It was unexpectedly amazing. I’d go back just for that. One disappointment: my husband had spoken to the hostess beforehand, asking if they could surprise me with a crème brûlée and a candle for our anniversary. She said they typically only do that for birthdays but agreed to do something special. Unfortunately, nothing happened. Our server handed us the regular dessert menu and mentioned crème brûlée wasn’t available due to their rotating dessert menu. While we understand things happen, it was a bit disheartening that the message didn’t get passed along. That said, we still enjoyed, and the dessert made up for it. A little more communication would’ve made it perfect.
