    Sweet potato tacos
    Melanie G.

    Decent tacos for a food stall in a food hall. Went on a Saturday around 12 and food came out in under 10m. 2 tacos for around $11.50 is pretty average nowadays and especially not bad for a food hall I got the sweet potato tacos. It comes on blue corn tortillas and your choice of mild, medium or hot salsa. I got the mild salsa verde which was tasty and cut through the heaviness of the taco. I wish the sweet potato was cubed rather than smashed because it was very heavy. There was also a bit too much cheese for my liking and/or it could've been melted more but it did add good flavor. I probably would've enjoyed it more if i was a bit hungrier but not a bad meal at all!

    Burnt ends brisket burrito "mission style"
    Spencer S.

    Within the Rodeo River Street food hall. Gated paid parking lot. Walking distance from train station if that helps you plan. Order at the register, they take your phone number, and you get a text when your order is ready. Took around 10 mins on a busy weekend for us. Casual atmosphere with a ton of shared indoor and outdoor seating. They've got a brisket burrito, which I had to try! If you want all the fixings, you're going to have to add-on "mission style" for more money (guac, rice, beans, pico de gallo). Crazy taste combo of bbq and Mexican, but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless! Generous serving size, which I expect when paying nearly $20 as of March 2025.

    Shrimp Taco, Quesa Birria (Brisket) taco, Shrimp Ceviche
    Natalie Y.

    tacos were pretty heavy but still good! i liked the shrimp one the most but the quesa birria was also quite yummy. ceviche not so good, the shrimp was cut really bad. we got some huge pieces of shrimp and some tiny ones. def not consistent and would NOT order that again service sucked too. the person handing me the order didnt even acknowledge or look at me, just was talking to her friend and pushed the bag towards me without looking.. what is with the customer service nowadays? i know the younger generation gets a bad rap for customer service but im also a gen z and i had better service when i worked a min wage food job back in college :/ the tacos were good but would probably not come back bc the customer service needs way more improvement

    I honestly don't know why this place is sitting at 3 stars because everything we tried was DELICIOUS. I would go back just for their Birria burrito and the coconut shrimp ceviche. Both were packed with flavor and so satisfying. The location is super cute too. It sits in a little lifestyle center that's fun to stroll around and makes the whole experience feel extra cozy. Capas also just rolled out a new seasonal menu and there are so many great options to choose from. What I loved most is that they don't skimp. The tacos are LOADED with toppings and meat, exactly how they should be. I'm honestly tired of other taco spots in OC serving "cute" tiny tacos with barely anything inside. Capas goes all out and delivers big flavor every time. Went on a weekday and it was pretty mellow and quick service - we got the food rather quickly. If you want a little lightweight taco, this might not be for you... but honestly, you'd be missing out. I'll definitely be back!

    Beans and yellow tail ceviche
    Vu N.

    Capas located in the rodeo food hall in Sjc. Cool location and set up. Wish it was bigger with more seating though. The food for the yellowtail ceviche. Very interesting how it was served like prepackaged but it was still decent. Fish was cut way too big for my liking though. Tasted fresh but it was Just a different take that wasn't up my alley . Beans was pretty good. Almost like beans and hummus. We all did enjoy this if you like beans

    Carnitas tacos
    Becky F.

    We visited the new Rodeo River Street in San Juan Capistrano and we tried a couple different places. This was our favorite of all the places we tried. Pros: the tacos come with a great portion of meat, the guacamole was very good and my kids loved the purple tortilla chips, and the smoked brisket, carnitas and birria meats were tasty Cons: the salsas were a bit of a let down (they missed the mark on heat - they actually tasted kind of sweet), the birria tacos didn't come with a consume so that was a let down, the drink options are pretty limited (I couldn't find any restaurant in the strip mall with plain old unsweetened iced tea) The staff were nice (it was opening weekend so they were very busy). The whole river walk is walk up food options but you can find lots of seating outside which is nice.

    Olivia is so sweet and she helped me pick out something that was not too spicy and no cheese and no red meat. She gets all 5 stars. I ordered the shrimp à la Plancha tacos and the yellowtail ceviche. The chips are sooo good! Make sure you eat the ceviche the same day. Come and check it out ASAP

    Yellowtail ceviche
    Sherry T.

    I love ceviche and tacos. Unfortunately, this spot doesn't quite hit the mark and taste authentic. I love seeing a new food hall open in South OC (it looks like the same people behind Rodeo 39; the parking to get here is nuts so just pay to avoid the madness or long walk). You order at the counter and get texted when it's ready. There are plenty of seats indoors and outdoors (at least on a Friday lunchtime). I got the yellowtail ceviche where you get plenty of chips. The fish is fine. I understand it's leche de tigre (which is a bit less spicy than typical ceviches), but it's really missing on the heat and sour citrus flavor you expect. If those 2 components were amped up, this would be a better dish. I also got the carnitas tacos with melted cheese which were fine. I got the medium salsa which tasted more like a BBQ or ketchup sauce; it was a bit too sweet and could have used more Mexican flavors like peppers and cilantro. A few tweaks to amp up the flavors and heat would improve the dishes and make it taste more autentico.

    Comote y queso
    Miranda P.

    I thought this place was pretty good. We ordered a cheese quesadilla for our kids, the burnt tips burrito, and comote y queso (potatoes piled with guacamole and cheese), and chips with guacamole. The burrito seemed like a black bean wrap. Not much meat at all and pretty small. I overheard someone else who ordered this telling the cashier they were given the wrong thing. I think the name and description is misleading, but what it was tasted good. The comote y queso was also good, though some potatoes were cooked to perfection while others were maybe undercooked. But overall, the flavor was good and portion was filling. The cheese quesadilla was probably the best thing, surprisingly. Came out hot and had good flavor. The chips were overly salted and guac was kinda like a mix of green salad and avocado. Not the best.

    Fried Chicken burrito
    Sherry N.

    The food was not great..... there was barely any meat in the two burritos we got. Also no one to take order or even ask any questions. I would never ever go back. Save your money and goto Taco Bell!

    Best carnitas tacos ever had. Tacos were packed with crispy carnitas with lots of bbq smoked flavor, the blue corn tortilla had lots of flavor as well The nachos were a tasty to, I ordered chicken as the protein and it tasted like a crunchy chicken enchilada So good, will Be back

    Corn bread squares. Not sure the exact name but that doesn't matter because they're little squares of delicious.
    Dan S.

    So far this is by far the best place in River Street. The birria tacos were juicy and delicious. The shrimp tacos were fabulous. The beans and rice were different but extremely tasty. And the cornbread square things (not sure of the exact name) were phenomenal. Everything I've had there has been delicious, I highly recommend this place. There is limited seating inside, split among other restaurants but there is ample seating outside. It's a fun place to eat and hand out!

    Two of us tried the smoked carnitas and the questobarria tacos; if you like greasy food, it would be amazing. We don't - gross...

We arrived around 7:00 p.m. and were seated on the patio right away without any wait. The food was amazing! The Our Famous Carnitas ($29) was absolutely delicious, served with tender braised pork, rice, beans, guacamole, salsa cruda, and tortillas. It's now my favorite dish at the restaurant! The braised pork was cooked perfectly, flavorful, juicy, and incredibly tender. We also ordered the Tacos De Hongo ($39), which were excellent as well. The prime outside skirt steak was perfectly cooked and paired wonderfully with the portobello mushrooms and grilled onions. Thanks to our server for recommending these two dishes, I might have ordered something completely different otherwise! For dessert, we had the Butter Cake ($16), and it was outstanding. So far, it's the best butter cake I've ever had. The service was excellent! Our server was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations truly made our dining experience even better. The prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food and service. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience at Sol Agave in San Juan Capistrano. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes, and I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends!

I completely understand that gratuity is automatically included once you reach a certain party size, and I have no problem with that. However, our group consisted mostly of kids, and one of the adults wanted to order a kids meal because they weren't very hungry. The request was denied by our server. As someone who manages a restaurant myself, I understand the reasoning behind the policy. That said, I also believe there are situations where a little flexibility can go a long way in creating a great guest experience. It wasn't a huge issue, but it did leave us feeling like the restaurant was prioritizing policy over hospitality. Overall, the food and ambiance were excellent, and I'd still recommend Soy Agave for a nice night out. I just hope there can be a little more discretion in situations like this moving forward.

    Whenever I need to supercharge at the Tesla chargers I get to get some food here at El Camperon…read more The store does not have seating inside and so you will need to sit outside. The store is split between savory and sweet. I ordered a few tacos (carnitas, cabeza, and lengua). The full size tacos are quite large and filling. I have to remember to order the street taco version. The flavor is good and with the salsa it hits the spot. I also ordered the menudo to dip my tacos in. Paired the food with some horchata and agua fresca. The service can be a bit slow, maybe because it is usually busy. One thing to note is that you will need to order the drink with your savory order but pick up is on the other side with the sweets.

    I really wanted to like El Campeón because the food is actually pretty decent. Unfortunately,…read moreeverything else about the place brings the experience down. The biggest issue is the environment--it feels very hostile and uncomfortable. The atmosphere alone makes it hard to enjoy your meal. On top of that, the condition of the place is rough. Basic things like lighting don't seem to get fixed, and the whole place feels like it's falling apart. It also comes across like management just doesn't want to invest back into the business. When an owner cuts corners like that, it shows, and customers notice. It's disappointing because the food has potential, but the poor upkeep and negative environment make it hard to recommend. With better management and some real effort put into maintaining the place, this could be a much better spot.
