Cafe Capistrano

Everything tasted good and was well prepared. The preparation of the mango shrimp was different from anything I have had before - there were several individual small tacos. The size of my wife's asada was too much for her and a lot went into a doggie bag. The soup was tasty, Our server, Zoe, was super. In my view, the food here is different from the typical Mexican restaurant perhaps that is why it says"California style". We will return.

The best Mexican food in the triangle. So good I travel from Fuquay-Varina to eat it. Excellent and chill vibe, excellent service and a smaller family joint. Fresh homemade ingredients and excellent food! Recommend the tots/chorizo on the appetizer menu with an over easy egg. To die for!

Great service! Delicious food. We had the mango shrimp starter. Creative and flavorful. For dinner Mahi tacos and Santa Fe enchiladas. Mahi tacos reminded me of my time in San Diego. We will definitely go again.

Let me tell you guys a secret about Cafe Capistrano, I have been coming to this restaurant since I was a child. I have fond memories, as a seven year old, eating beef tacos, on flour shell of course, with my family. I was mesmerized by the fountain in the middle of the restaurant. Literally, this memory was enough to keep bringing me back to Cafe Capistrano. HOWEVER, not only do I have great memories as a kid, but I used to come here every Tuesday in high school. My best friends and I would all cram into a car, and speed (not literally please don't report this review) to get a chicken quesadilla with a side of rice and beans. It would cost us all a whopping $5 each ,which was less than $20 total, for an amazing experience and meal. They even served us chips and salsa, except the bag of chips was literally a garbage sized bag. I kid you not that was enough chips to feed me for the next five years. Also, Omar is the nicest server I have ever experienced. He knows our names because of how often we come here, and he has become a good friend to us. It's always a pleasure seeing him and catching up with him. Wow, this review got so sentimental I forgot to even talk about the food. My pictures don't do this justice because I've been using my IPad a lot more recently. Oh, and I ate literally half of my food before I remembered to take a picture. But! The chicken quesadilla is always my go to order. It's extremely huge portion size, it tastes great, and it's served with a Santa Fe sauce. This Santa Fe sauce is literally so addicting I could drink it by the gallon. It's tangy and creamy. That's all that needs to be said. Also, their queso is bomb. I have loved this queso for my whole life, and I will never stop. I love Cafe Capistrano, I always have great food, the portions are big, so just come on down here with your friends, and I guarantee you'll have the best night.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!Absolute worst service and experience ever!Asked for a drink that they didn't have and was cut off with a stern NO by the waitress.. proceeded to order my food. That was a mistake. Food was trash. The chicken in the quesadilla was still pink! Not cooked all the way through. We didn't eat the food because of it. Wouldn't comp the food. Deliberately didn't even try to make things right. Downright rude and disrespectful. And the chicken tortilla soup had a bone in it that I almost choked on. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT come here thinking you'll get authentic cuisine or even at the very least, common decency, or quality service. DO BETTER! SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN

Ordered take out, Sante Fe enchiladas and Pasolini. Service was great and quick! Was super excited to try the Pasole, as you don't find that often on menus. It was very delicious but could have been spicier. The enchiladas were delicious, loaded with meat and sauce was tasty. Did not care for the rice. Would definitely go back to fine in. Casual ambiance.

There were 4 of us for dinner. We had 4 margaritas, guacamole & 4 dinners. When we asked for addtl salsa we were informed there is an additional up charge of .75!!!!! What??? I find this pretty inappropriate after buying all the other items. We did pay for it, but that was ridiculous!!!

Food was cold which is highly unusual for a Mexican restaurant and they were not even crowded When I called to give them feedback their response was "ok we will let the kitchen know" Avoid as there are way too many better options

We joined another couple and found there was an upcharge for more than 1 small bowl of salsa for the table. Ordered a $14 margarita which arrived in a 12oz glass overflowing with ice - weak diluted drink, so we tried beer, which was warm and flat. Finally the waters arrived, which were the best. Below average food at a premium price as nothing on dinner menu is less than 13.99. We won't be going back.

attending a conference nearby, and I needed a good lunch before a long day. Nice and clean, quickly seated and waited on. I had an excellent TORTA sandwich and tortilla soup-- white meat, chicken, well cooked and perfectly seasoned.I highly recommend!
