    Stopped by for a bite and love the atmosphere and selection of foods. We ended up with the QUESA BIRRIA with burnt ends brisket, queso de la casa & hibiscus onions. The mango salsa on top really made these so very delicious, ask for extra! We also ordered the fresh Paparade pasta with bolognese sauce. The pasta was a bit over cooked and the sauce was just ok. We had fun walking around and enjoying this venue. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other eateries.

    My review is based on the Rodeo River Street Food Hall only. The food options are limited and pretty pricey. We were here on a Monday afternoon around 1:30-2:00 and it was pretty empty. With the exception of the cookie shop and the flatbread/pizza option there was no food displayed so if you're not familiar with these particular eateries it's hard to make a decision on what to eat. While there is not a lot of seating inside the food hall the market place offers a nice outside atmosphere and tables that are shared with all the other restaurants and eateries in the marketplace. I hope these places do well but they need to do something to lure more people in as I was surprised there were no amazing tempting aromas welcoming us into the hall.

    Woooow! What a fun event space and restaurants! So many to choose from and something for everyone Dog and kid friendly! Plenty of outdoor seating - music playing and such a good vibe

    Rib eye sandwich was delightful!
    Jim J.

    Despite the collection of flies in the window near our seat, the food was excellent we shared a rib eye sandwich on sourdough bread. The meat was cooked to perfection with perfect seasonings and flavors, tenderness was on point. Came with ranch style fries and homemade ketchup. Come here, but ask for fly fan.

    This spot recently opened up in San Juan Capistrano and it has it all! There's a little indoor market with many restaurants including: Italian, Hawaiian inspired cuisine, Sushi, seafood and empanadas. It can get a little packed around lunch time, it's less crowded in the afternoon. They have lots of outdoor seating and grassy area for pets! They even have a McConnell's ice cream shop- originally founded in Santa Barbara. We would've stopped there, but the line was sooooo long so we opted for another spot. The bathrooms are so clean and modern, the fountains are a work in progress. I'd definitely come back, I was so impressed with my shrimp and chile lime ceviche bowl!

    I always enjoy trying a new food hall spot. This one is very clean, new, modern and not too large but has a good variety of cuisines to choose from, rice bowls, sushi, Mexican, fried chicken, ice cream, boba tea, and so much more. Great indoor and outdoor dining options with great space for pets and kids alike.

    Visited Rodeo River Street today during Swallows Day parade. Boy, was I in for a surprise by the parade. I'm saving it in my calendar for next year and will come back better prepared. We finally found our way through the massive crowds to Rodeo River Street. We came through the back way by the train track from Old Mission Road. It felt like walking through a country town. It had a nice vibe with all the bar and restaurant and music filling the air with different live bands playing or djs spinning. As we got to Rodeo River Street from the dusty dirt road, it was filled with food vendors. We only tried Bred's Hot Chicken. We had it in Costa Mesa at their other location. But, we heard they just opened a new one in San Juan Capistrano. We got the Chick & Waffles. My favorite way to eat is make it into a sandwich and drench it with the syrup! Definitely, recommend it! Their comeback sauce is a must with the hot chicken. They have a non spicy and spicy one to pair with the spicy level of the chicken you got. Their homemade banana pudding is such a treat if you're a sweet tooth eater like And to finish it off and wash everything down, we also got the Sweet Honey Ice Tea which is the SHiT! Get it? Will definitely be back again when in the area to try something new!

    I really liked this new food hall/center in San Juan Capistrano right next to Zoomar's. I was surprised to see how big it was and the variety of restaurants and shops. I loved the ambience with country music playing in the background. Lots of restrooms, tables and chairs to enjoy your lunch. Great addition to this area.

    The food court lots of options
    Renee T.

    Super cute new center in historic San Juan Capistrano. I haven't been down this way in a bit and was super happy to see this outdoor center. Many restaurants, food courts and shopping all in the beautiful OC. My friend and I went shopping after we ate and discovered so many cool places. I will def be back in the near future, beautiful place and everyone was so kind! Adult and kid friendly:)

This is a dangerous for people who have severe dairy allergies because milk is not a common ingredient in lemonade. I ordered this for my 4 year old who previously had an anaphylactic reaction to milk. I only realized that it contained milk when I approached the food stand from the other side of the kiosk and happened to see the allergen menu while waiting for the ube beignets that they forgot in my order. When I brought it up to the cashier, she was dismissive and stated that dairy is noted at the drink dispensers and that she does not know what kind of dairy is in it because it comes from the distributor/manufacturer. I told her that there are two ways to approach the kiosk, from the drink dispenser side (where it is barely notable because of the font color choice. Picture included) or from the side through the entrance coming from River Street Ranch. From this entrance, neither the allergen sign or the drink dispenser sign is visible. The lack of proper signage in the menu and the careless attitude of the cashier is so upsetting. I told them calmly so she can bring it up to the manager to change the menu wording but she didn't even seem to care.

Every time I go, the customer service feels off. It's like someone doodood in their cereal before their shift . The employees always seem like they don't want to be there, and whenever I ask for help, I'll get an eye roll or a rude attitude. I completely understand that everyone has bad days and I'm not judging anyone for that, but when it happens EVERY single time I go, it becomes noticeable and really takes away from the experience. They could at least fake a smile or make an effort to be welcoming. If you want to shop at Hollister, I'd honestly recommend going to the Spectrum location or somewhere else instead.

They have most of the usual shops and eateries that you will find in most malls, but they do have a rather large food court with some unique fast restaurants like Oniguro, dizzy bird, and the Paradise bakery and café.

We had a late lunch at Islands. They are also expanding a large outdoor area I believe. This mall is extremely clean, all the stores were open, and it had a very nice modern feel to it. I really enjoyed our stay here and will come back. Parking is easy and the mall was not super crowded, especially for a Saturday.

I don't think it goes well with the bowl. I'd rather have steamed broccoli or less charred broccoli with a fat like mayo or cheese based sauce Bok choy: this also doesn't go well as ginger overwhelms your palette and it takes a while to reset and taste things normally. I'd suggest changing it to soy bok choy sautéed in sesame oil. Combined with nomnivore rewards, it's still surprisingly great value for money (sweetgreen value territory or even better).
