In-N-Out enthusiasts will soon be able to enjoy eating at a new location in San Juan Capistrano, California, in Spanish mission revival style.

The architectural theme is expected to “complement the traditional and historic character of the city,” according to a city agenda report.

Currently being built on a former Marie Calendar restaurant site, the burger shop will include a single-lane drive-thru and mission-style roof, columns, archways, domes, stucco walls, and a flower bed.

Located at 31791 Del Obispo Street, it is within walking distance from the two-and-a-half century-old Mission San Juan Capistrano, which welcomes over 300,000 visitors each year, according to its website. The mission served as an outpost for the Spanish to spread Christianity to Native Americans when it was first founded in 1776.

The new branch will be the second In-N-Out location in the city and the second in Orange County to adopt the mission style, which is already featured by a San Clemente location that opened in December.

The construction and preparation could take eight to nine months before the restaurant is officially open, Mike Abbate, the chain’s assistant vice president for real estate and development, told Orange County Register.
