Recommend the parking garage diagonal (SE) across the street from the train depot. It is on the other side of the tracks from Ramos House, but it is a very short walk and the parking garage was not expensive.
Parking in the garage is $2/hr. Remember your parking space #, you will need it to get a ticket.
There is also a parking structure near the San Juan Capistrano train station, it's like two blocks from the restaurant. If I recall correctly it's 2-3 hour free parking
There is a large empty dirt field near the street where the restaurants and shops are that we parked in. It was difficult to find.
