participating Taste of San Juan restaurants will offer specials that week set at a $10

Capistrano Chamber of Commerce Restaurant and Tourism Council, their goal is to

promote the wide variety of extraordinary restaurants in San Juan Capistrano and

surrounding communities.

All Taste of San Juan participants will receive voting ballots to select their favorite

restaurants in the following categories: Best Main Course; Best Original Dish; Best

Appetizer and Best Dessert.

The Taste of San Juan is a major fundraiser for the all-volunteer, nonprofit San Juan Capistrano Fiesta Association. Proceeds from the Taste will be used to present a variety of community events throughout the year – most notably – the 55^th Swallows Day Parade on Saturday, March 23, 2013.

Advanced tickets may be purchased with cash or check at the San Juan Capistrano

Chamber of Commerce (31421 La Matanza Street). Tickets will also be sold at the door
