Mandatory stop for consistently amazing food on our way to the beach. My only complaint is that I don't live closer.

I have eating at Cafe Capistrano ever since he was over by opl in Princeton. Although all his food is always fresh and delicious, I get the same thing every time I go there.... The chicken fajitas! I get extra tortillas and extra cabbage and eat absolutely everything on my plate every time. They are delicious. His unique blend of spices on the chicken and vegetables are unique and absolutely amazing. They are the best plate of fajitas I've ever eaten anywhere and would highly recommend them to anyone who loves fajitas.

My mom said that the veggie quesadilla that she ate here was the best she's had in her entire life. I also thoroughly enjoyed my chicken enchilada. The ingredients are really fresh, and the food is not only delicious, but healthy as well. Highly recommend! Besides amazing food, the setting is adorable. It looks like a quaint little cottage, with stunning flower blooms. There's an outdoor seating area, and an indoor seating area as well, with different rooms to choose from. It is definitely an intimate, seating arrangement because space is limited. But we came here on a Monday afternoon, and there were only two other occupied tables! The service was also amazing. Although breakfast stopped being served at 12pm, and we arrived at 1pm, the chefs still offered to make us any breakfast we wanted! Such sweethearts! Thank you so much Café Capistrano for a delightful family lunch.

This is a cute, quaint spot for a casual breakfast, lunch or dinner! There is a small team working to keep this place running, and they're all super friendly and welcoming. We all chose options from the seafood portion of the menu. The classic fish and chips were solid, with large, crispy pieces of fish. I loved my prawn fajita dish - the prawns were cooked to perfection in a buttery sauce. The rice could've used a bit more time cooking to get softer, but all the other sides were phenomenal, especially the fruit salsa. I wish they served breakfast all day, since all of their egg options looked delicious. I'd also love to try some of the more authentically Mayan dishes.
