El Adobe de Capistrano, Historic restaurant in San Juan Capistrano, California.
El Adobe de Capistrano combines two adobe structures connected by sunken wings, featuring wooden beam ceilings and multiple dining levels inside the building.
The northern section was built in 1797 as Miguel Yorba's residence, while the southern part from 1812 functioned as a courthouse and jail facility.
The restaurant transformed from continental to Mexican cuisine following President Richard Nixon's frequent visits while residing in nearby San Clemente.
Located at 31891 Camino Capistrano, the establishment offers dinner service, Sunday brunch, and accommodates private events with full catering options.
The former jail cell beneath the restaurant now functions as a wine cellar, with original prison bars and wall inscriptions from past inmates.
