ABOUT VAQUERA
Vaquera is nestled in the heart of historic San Juan Capistrano, within California’s oldest neighborhood, the Los Rios District. Rooted in the spirit of Californian cuisine, our farm-to-table, wood-fired dining experience celebrates the rich heritage and natural bounty of the region. Our thoughtfully curated menu pays homage to the land and its history, drawing inspiration from the local terrain and the generations of people who have called San Juan Capistrano home.
OUR WOOD GRILL IS THE HEART OF OUR KITCHEN
Our custom oak-wood grill is 11 feet long with 9 feet of grill space and three feet of open hearth. The grill came first. We built the restaurant around it.
PRIVATE EVENTS
La Vaquera is the energetic center of the exciting new River Street Marketplace. Our location offers dynamic indoor and outdoor dining and event areas, a full bar with handcrafted cocktails made from artisan spirits, local craft beers, and an outstanding wine list of local and Old World wines. Ideal for an intimate family gathering, celebratory party with friends, or large corporate event.
