Cafe Capistrano - Raleigh

I’ve consistently had good experiences at this restaurant. Their tortilla soup is the best I’ve ever tried. The plate-sized quesadillas are also excellent. I really enjoy their smashed beans, and the chips and salsa are tasty as well. The ambiance isn’t anything special, but the focus here is definitely on the food. Service can be inconsistent, but overall it’s quite reliable.

The food was excellent, as usual. Like many restaurants these days, they could benefit from having more staff. If you haven't visited yet, I highly recommend stopping by, and if it’s been a while since your last visit, it’s definitely worth returning!

I've visited this restaurant multiple times for both lunch and dinner, and I've always been pleased. The food is fresh and incredibly tasty. I like to refer to it as "elevated Mexican cuisine" because it offers much more than just standard tacos or burritos; each dish is full of flavor and prepared to order. The menu is extensive, featuring a wonderful variety of options. I believe this place is somewhat of a hidden gem; it's never overly crowded, but it definitely deserves more attention!

OMG, so delicious! Our server Brandi was amazing. So considerate and helpful! Their Salsa is the best we have ever had in Raleigh. We always buy extra to take home!!

I read comments about poor service but that was not our experience at all! The one server Brittany was super attentive and friendly. The kitchen is whoafully under staffed so actual delivery of food is slow. The claim of Mexi Cali food is very specific to SoCal for those who know the difference. The food was fresh and well seasoned. The guac made to order. The claim to fame on the quesadilla is well earned! The mahi mahi taco is Devine but be ready for the lime! Will definitely make this a weekly stop. Enjoy!
