In the deep heart of San Juan Capistrano lies the very best Carniceria in all of Orange County… El Campeon is such the place.  It’s actually much more that just a Carniceria, but more of a culinary and cultural institution that anchors the Adobe Plaza on the corner of Camino Capistrano and Del Obispo.
