New COVID update
Update on OC’s Stage 2 regarding COVID
*Update* – TJO is now open for dine-in! We recommend placing in your reservations, and please maintain social distancing protocols.
Hello everyone!
We are aware that Orange County Health Department has allowed dine-in restaurants to re-open with limitations. Currently we are trying to setup our location to follow the guidelines stated by the health department.
Currently we still have take out and delivery available. Please be patient while we transition back to dine in!
A notice for our guests
*Update #3*
Only takeout and delivery orders available. No dine in. As per Governor Newsom’s directive. We also found out that in addition to beer and wine bottles, TJO can also sell hard liquor cocktails as per CA ABC’s notice of regulatory relief. Cocktail sales would have to go together with food orders, however. And they have to be consumed off-site and not in the bar. Will continue monitoring situation as it changes.
As you may have heard, our lives have been upended with the COVID-19 virus outbreak that has been going around the world. Our team has been following the news and listening to the guidance directed by the California Health Department and other local officials. At this time we have adopted the following measures to help reduce the spread of the virus:
- Wiping down high contact areas more frequently (i.e., door handles) with sanitizing solution
- We have hand sanitizer and hand washing sinks available for our guests to use
- We make sure any of our employees who are feeling ill to stay at home
- UberEats and DoorDash is available to use for your delivery needs, which allows for no contact delivery, if you choose to do so.
- We have reduced our opening hours.
If you are feeling ill yourself, please stay home and take care of yourself! We know these are extraordinary events currently going on. We will continue to monitor the situation and change plans accordingly for our operations.
We thank you for your continued support in these trying times.

Posted our latest wine dinner
We just posted about our latest Wednesday Wine Dinner in the image gallery! If you missed it, check out our next one tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, April 24. They have been good and tasty.
After Hours still going strong after 10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, with resident DJ WestWithNoT and KeenKreations doing a b2b set last Saturday. If you haven’t checked it out yet, check out the event page. Always no cover and a late night bar menu (that we will be changing soon!)
Open for Valentine’s Day and President’s Day weekend
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who voted us in the Capistrano Dispatch’s annual Best of San Juan Capistrano. We got gold for Best International Eats and Best Spot for Take-Out. A shout out t0 Ciao Pasta Trattoria, L’Hirondelle and Bad to the Bone!
We will be open at our regular hours for Valentine’s Day and President’s Day. On Valentine’s Day, we will not be doing our usual Thai Thirsty Thursday happy hour.
For the month of February, we have our special guest for After Hours: Hutch! Playing downtempo lounge, it is for the love machine in all of us. And remember, we always have our resident DJs playing at the bar area every Friday and Saturday.
(also just updated the website to utilize https and ssl…notice a difference? I didn’t. But now the line is secure.)
Happy New Year!
Thank you everyone who joined us for the festivities for the 10 year TJO anniversary and for the NYE party we had (both crazy evenings!).
2019 is going to start hot, with our wine dinner resuming on January 30: this time the Boss wants to pour the varietals that make up a Bordeaux blend.
The next day on January 31, is the kick off to the Fiesta de las Golondrinas with the Taste of San Juan! We have participated in this event every year since we have been open, and we will continue this tradition this year. More details about it can be found here. Make sure to buy your pre-sale tickets; it tends to sell out.

Last Wednesday dinner pairing for the year
Looks like our last wine beer dinner for the year has been announced! Every last Wednesday of the month we usually do a wine pairing with a 4-6 course meal. We change it up sometimes with whiskey, bourbon, scotch or tequila. This time we are ending the year of pairings with a beer based one. 4 course, 4 different beers, check out the details here. It’s coming up this Wednesday, so place your reservations soon.
A big thank you to those who come out and support us in these events! Stay tuned since November and December is a busy time for the restaurant!
Also we are doing a Halloween costume party in the evening on Saturday, October 26. Hutch will be the DJ for that evening.
