Chock-full of charming Mission-era architecture and lush trees, the Los Rios Historic District is a feast for the eyes and steeped in history. The Orange County neighborhood is nestled in San Juan Capistrano, a city established by the Spanish in 1776 as the seventh of the Spanish California missions. “It just feels like a step back in time,” third-generation resident Damian Orozco told SFGATE. Orozco’s family operates a tea house on Los Rios Street in the historic city, but he says the neighborhood hasn’t always been tourist-friendly.
