Do not, under any circumstances, miss the opportunity to experience Ramos House Cafe! We stopped in San Juan Capistrano for brunch, found Ramos House, and have officially decided that we will be driving here just for brunch many more times in the near future. Seating is all outdoors, on a beautiful patio terrace surrounded by gardens. The patio itself is... More

Well, this used to be such a fun place to go for lunch.....Times have changed, but unfortunately, not too much has changed on the menu. It's getting a little tired. Food is tasty but portions are not generous at all and prices are fairly high. We showed up at 11:30 am for lunch on a Wednesday and had to wait... More

I've read quite varying reviews of this restaurant (after our visit) but our experience was very good. The food was very innovative but not so much as to make it one of those posturing super-foodie places that bends over backward to create strange exotic combinations and expects you to eat flower petals. We had a family party of 8 (one... More

A great place to enjoy brunch and the beautiful outdoors in scenic/historic Los Rios District of San Juan. A few blocks from The Mission. Next door to quaint little shops and the train station. A great place for photo ops too.

We love Ramos House for a late weekday breakfast lunch and have dined there many times as we are "locals." Flannel hash and crab hash are our favorites. Be aware that the weekend brunch menu is fixed price, includes drinks, etc. Check the website.

Great little restaurant with good food. Service was good, although our waitress seemed to be rushing us a bit. Small place with few tables, so there's a bit of a wait - all the seating is outdoors

The Ramos House Cafe is absolutely adorable and we enjoyed a prix-fixe menu on our impromptu trip up to San Juan Capistrano. The shabby-chic/rustic country decor is very sweet and feels very home-like. Service was all right, nothing to rave about. Then again, Southern California is notorious for terrible service so my expectations are never that high. The food is... More
