El Adobe de Capistrano The restaurant site has been recognized as a California State
Historical Landmark. Situated just two short blocks south of the
historic Mission San Juan Capistrano and the Train Depot. During his administration, former President Richard Nixon
enjoyed the Mexican dishes prepared exclusively for him by El Adobe’s
chef. These dishes inspired El Adobe’s change from continental to
Mexican Cuisine.
In
2003, Hatch Designs was contracted for the remodeling of El Adobe. The
architectural elements of El Adobe de Capistrano artfully reflect the
history of both building and location. Antiques, furnishing, and décor
were all chosen to compliment the genuine Mexican-Californian ambiance.
Included in the renovations, El Adobe’s kitchen received a complete
overhaul; and it incorporated a new mesquite-burning grill and hood
system, so that fresh steaks and seafood could be added to the menu.

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.
