San Juan Capistrano Metrolink Train Station

This location is a stop for both Metrolink and Amtrak. It does not have much of an office or office hours.
Location is nice and its worth a day trip if ones in southern Orange County. I would recommend eating at el Adobe its one of the better Mexican food places. The mission is also worth a visit.

I wish the trans would come every 20 minuts or every hour on time because they are always late

I just started riding metrolink and I am totally enjoying it. Not having to sit in traffic is awesome. What’s even better is being able to catch up on my reading. The only drawback to the SJC station is the parking is not free. Though I cant really complain since the fee is only $ 2 for the whole day.

Heard you can ride the Metrolink from anywhere in Orange County to Union Station in LA for a total of $ 29 round trip for up to four people. This $ 29 fare applies to weekends only on their «Friends and Family 4-​Pack,» so decided to take advantage of it. Met up at San Juan Capistrano station where there is a Metrolink and Amtrak station in historical downtown area. There was a kiosk at the Metrolink station where you can purchase your tickets. We were planning to make a trip to Philippe’s for a french dip sandwich and also to Olvera Street, both which were within walking distance of Union Station.
Train makes several stops in Orange County including San Clemente, Mission Viejo, Irvine, Tustin, Fullerton, Orange, Buena Park, etc., and arrives at final destination of Union Station.
It was fast, comfortable and and most importantly, really cheap. Much better than having to take a car and find parking in LA. Union Station, itself, is a really cool place to visit also.
Would highly recommend as a neat way to travel to LA without having to hassle with the parking and traffic you would have to deal with in a car. Chinatown is right near Union Station also. For the money it is a great deal and a cool, different way to get from Orange County to LA at an awesome price.
