We took the train from San Diego to San Juan Capistrano. This restaurant was right across the tracks. Easy to get to and good food. My husband and I both ordered the lamb gyros. Yum! Both my kids (7&9 yrs) ordered the cheese quesadilla. They were made with large flour tortillas and were very good. They were each able to... More

The food was reasonably priced. We ordered a gyro and a hot pastromi sandwich about $8.50 each and a good sized cup of chicken soup for $3.50 which was served with pita bread.Yummy! It was very filling and I took half of my sandwich home. The restaurant is in an old historical home. We ordered inside which had a few... More

Absolutely one of the most beautiful cafes in the world, you order incredible Greek food at the counter then sit in a beautiful tile patio garden right in the historic heart of San Juan. A must visit restaurant for anyone visiting!!

My new favorite place to take visitors, or go-to place when I want to be away from the usual south OC crowd, if ya know what I mean. (ie: Javier's, Newport Beach) This is a very cute & casual, low key place with a few small tables inside & patio style tables outside with heaters. You order from the inside... More

We enjoyed a nice hot pastrami sandwich on rye and a turkey on wheat, which were both tasty along with an appetizer of farva beans in a mediterranean sauce with pita brea which was tasty. Sit on the back patio under a shade tree and enjoy the sounds and the occassional train, which stops at the depot across the tracks... More

My husband and I were strolling through San Juan Capistrano. After visiting some shops and the delightful llamas at the petting zoo, we decided we needed some coffee. We stopped in at the Hummingbird House Cafe and treated ourselves to a delicious dessert. It was a flaky pastry with a delicate lemon flavor. We took our coffees to the patio... More

After spending the day at San Juan Capistrano and waiting for the Amtrak, we decided to eat at Hummingbird. The seating is very limited inside, but the day was beautiful, so we opted for the lovely outdoor, shaded seating. Surrounded by trees and flowers, it was lovely. The food is healthful, Mediterranean style, with tziziki, salads, delicious food. The only... More
