WELCOME TO THE BEST OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO Every year, we celebrate the best San Juan Capistrano and Rancho Mission Viejo have to offer by honoring local businesses, nonprofit organizations and individuals with the People’s Choice Horseshoe Awards, as selected by you, the readers. At no other time in our publication’s history have those recognitions ever been more important, as this Best of 2020 highlights the resiliency of the local community that faced unprecedented challenges over the past year.
