One of the pet peeves my girlfriend has is mexican food which she considers ""UN""authentic. Coming from out of state, I am a little bit used to it, I'm afraid. But El Adobe de Capistrano hits the mark with really tasty dishes made in true Mexican fashion. If you can get over paying $10.95 for a side order of guacamole(two advocadoes), the service was pretty good and the food is above normal if not outstanding. They have some of the freshest tortilla chips and best tasting salsa I have had in California, or anywhere for that matter. We had to try a cheese enchilada a la carte just to see if they were up to snuff. At something like $5.25 for one enchilada without beans or rice, I thought the price pretty close to ridiculous. But they are definitely in the running for top 10 enchiladas you will ever have. The sauce is almost perfect and they are not ""Americanized"", ""Texified"" or ""Yuppified"" by cheddar or yellow cheese inside. Just good ole' Monterey Jack cheese, and hot when it arrived at our table. If you want to eat quality Mexican food and you're not afraid to pay top dollar for it, this place is a winner.
Pros: Authentic Mexican food
Cons: Price
