Twenty-five years of authentic Mexican cuisine served from the heart of La Palma. The chips and salsa guests call the best they've ever tasted. The Cadillac Margarita you'll talk about on the way home.
From the moment the chips and salsa arrive to the last sip of a Cadillac Margarita, La Capilla delivers an authentic Mexican dining experience that keeps guests coming back for decades.
La Capilla Mexican Restaurant has been a cornerstone of the La Palma community for over 25 years. What began as a family's vision to bring authentic, home-style Mexican cooking to Orange County has grown into one of the most beloved restaurants in the area — with generations of loyal guests who have grown up eating here.
The menu draws from deep Mexican culinary traditions — slow-cooked meats, house-made salsas, and dishes that have been refined over decades of daily service. Every plate is made with the kind of attention that only a family-owned kitchen can deliver, and the warm, unpretentious atmosphere ensures that every guest feels like a regular from the very first visit.
From the Cadillac Margarita at the bar to the flan that closes every great meal, La Capilla is the kind of restaurant that becomes part of your family's story too.
Open Tuesday through Sunday. Reservations accepted — groups always welcome.
