El Adobe De Capistrano Mexican Cuisine at its finest, in the heart of historic San Juan Capistrano. Our restaurant site has been recognized as a California State Historic Landmark situated just two short blocks from the Mission and the Train Depot. The original structure dates back to 1797. El Adobe restaurant opened in 1948 with the wedding and reception of the First Commandant of Camp Pendelton. During his administration, Former President Richard Nixon enjoyed the Mexican dishes prepared exclusively for him by El Adobe's chef. These dishes are what inspired El Adobe's change from continental to Mexican Cuisine.
Ricardo's Place The success of La Cocina de Ricardo is dedicated to the family tradition of excellence that began with Grandma Juana in Mixtlán Jalisco, México. She was the main chef of her town and would prepare the food for small and large events, from parties to weddings, making every occasion memorable. This tradition of thoughtfully prepared recipes was passed to Mamacita Alicia (the current chef and Owner), who brought all this knowledge to Southern California some 3O years ago, along with two brothers & eight kids.
Ricardo, a San Clemente High School Graduate, convinced Mamacita to share her recipes with the Orange County people and so she did, opening their first restaurant in the middle 1980s. Ricardo, Alicia, Alejandro, Estela, Bertha & Rosa as well as the rest of the family, are dedicated to maintain a clean establishment, the best, healthiest and most affordable Mexican food around. We thank you for your business and consider you an important part of our family tradition.
