A one of a kind restaurant, the Ramos House Cafe is situated in the heart of the Los Rios Historical District in San Juan Capistrano. It is the oldest remaining residential street in California. Los Rios dates back to 1794 when about 40 adobe structures were contructed to house soldiers and workers overseeing construction of the Mission.
The Ramos House began its new life as café and residence for Chef/Owner John Q. Humphreys in 1994. Preserving a majority of the original structure, John added a commercial kitchen to the back of the house, restored dilapidated portions of the building and laid out the exterior patio seating area around the century old Mulberry tree. An ideal location for an American Restaurant, the Ramos House Café opened its doors on October 4th, 1994, and has been cooking ever since.
