Reviews


This restaurant offers basic meals with no sides and is not very accommodating for young children, however, they are dog-friendly which is a plus for pet owners. On the other hand, customers rave about the authentic Mayan cuisine, with one reviewer even expressing how the dishes brought back memories of their hometown in the Yucatan peninsula. The food is described as phenomenal, delicious, colorful, and beautiful, with fresh and tasty ingredients used in every dish. The cozy and popular restaurant is recommended for those looking to try something different than typical Mexican cuisine. The location, set in a funky old house with a few tables in each room and a neat patio in the backyard, adds to the overall experience of dining at this establishment, on average, the rating for Café Capistrano is 4.5.
