" I just had dinner with my family at El Capricho and we enjoyed a delightful evening. The atmosphere felt warm and family-friendly. The waitstaff was attentive throughout our meal. The food was quite authentic, especially the tacos. Each of us had a great meal, and the only downside was that the wait was a little long for our food to arrive. I still recommend it if you have time to savor great dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about El Capricho, I finally made it there for dinner. I can say it lived up to the reputation! The food was incredible, particularly the enchiladas. The only drawback was that it took a little longer to receive our checks after we finished our meals. However, the excellent food and inviting atmosphere made it a great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love supporting local restaurants like El Capricho! They provide a cozy environment, friendly service, and authentic Mexican meals. I ordered the enchiladas de mole and they were exquisite! The rich mole sauce was packed with flavor. Even the beans were incredibly tasty! It’s clear they take pride in their ingredients. I’ll be visiting again soon to try some other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to El Capricho happened to coincide with their live music night, which added a delightful touch to our experience. We really enjoyed the flavor of the food! The highlight was the tamales, which tasted homemade. The atmosphere was cozy and enhanced by the ambiance music. I would recommend checking them out on live music nights; it creates a great vibe! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been going to El Capricho for years and I can safely say they've maintained their quality. The food is always consistently good, and the atmosphere has that quaint local charm. I had the burrito again which was just as delicious as I remembered. It's a staple in the community, and I'm always happy to recommend it to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to El Capricho left me torn. While the atmosphere was charming and the staff kind, the food was a mixed bag. I ordered their signature burrito which looked amazing but wasn't as filling as I expected. I also attempted their chilaquiles, which were flavorful but a little soggy for my taste. The wait was longer than I anticipated, but the staff constantly checked on us, which I appreciated. Overall, I enjoyed the meal but felt like they could elevate the execution a bit. I would still consider returning for their breakfast options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited El Capricho and had high hopes based on the hype, but the experience was a mix of highs and lows. The service was friendly, and the environment was charming. I opted for their famous burrito, but it was a bit on the greasy side. While the flavors were certainly there, I felt it could have used a bit more balance. What saved the meal was definitely the accompanying salsa, which was refreshing. " (*Curated Review*)
