AHHHH>>>THIS FOOD IS AMAZING! I was wooed by friends to try this place and I was skeptical WOW...was I pleasantly surprised by the AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS FOOD so fresh and and beautifully presented... and very nice wine selection..we had a Spanish Tempranillo that was wonderful.. Check out their website. This is real food, folks. Not premade taco shells, canned beans and meats that you can't distinguish. Raleigh has a lot of Mexican food like that..you know where the chips and salsa are the highlight. not this place... THE FOOD IS THE HIGHLIGHT..I had a (real) crab quesadilla with a delicious creamy lime sauce that was world class and the tastiest black beans I've ever eaten they were practically a meal in themselves! ! Okay, okay so the chips were average, but the SALSA WAS SUPER FRESH AND I COULD TASTE THE GARLIC, LIME, CUMIN AND JALAPENOS..VERY FRESH AND TASTY..these folks are not about chips and thats okay with me because the food is where they put their heart and soul. .. AND THE DECOR IS LOVELY..NO SOMBREROS, NO SERAPES, NO PINATAS...VERY TASTEFUL AND WARM..theirs a lovely water fountain in the center of the dining room..soothing...and smooth jazz playing....I really felt like I was in Northern California...Our server was very pleasant and helpful and the chef came to our table...great little place...If you want amazing MEXICAN food and not just chips and salsa...Cafe Capistrano~ California Style Mexican is THE PLACE. Amazing. KUDOS!! OMG, dont forget to try the FLAN!! Best ever!
Pros: EXCELLENT FOOD, EXCELLENT AMBIENCE
