" Disappointed after my latest visit to El Caporal. I used to love this place, but the service this time was slower than usual, and I had to wait quite a while for my food. When it arrived, I found it decent but not as authentic as I remembered. The flavors were there, but it somehow missed that home-cooked feel that I had experienced in past visits. I hope they can return to their former glory because I would love to enjoy their food again. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had dinner at El Caporal last night and were overall quite pleased! The service was efficient, and the meal came out piping hot. The enchiladas had authentic flavor, and my kids loved the bean dip that came with the chips. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere which made it a perfect family dinner spot! We'll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my latest trip to El Caporal, I was pleasantly surprised! The restaurant had a lively atmosphere, and the decorations added a touch of authenticity. I went with the shrimp tacos, which were flavorful and not overly greasy. I appreciated the size of the portion as well; they were quite filling! I enjoyed the meal overall, but felt the service could be improved—the staff was friendly, just a bit stretched! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at El Caporal struck a chord with me for its authenticity. I indulged in a fabulous mole which had the perfect balance of spices.

I look forward to stopping by again in the near future! " (*Curated Review*)

Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)
