" Every visit to El Capitán is a treat! The flavors are always on point, with my favorite being their carne asada tacos. They are juicy and well-seasoned, and the accompanying salsa made it even better. The staff are friendly and always eager to help. This is definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone visiting Midland! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had pretty high expectations after reading reviews about El Capitán, but my experience was underwhelming. The food was decent but not exceptional, and the service was inattentive. I ordered a combo plate, and while it was good, I felt like something was missing. I likely won’t be back, especially given the other options in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Capitán expecting great food based on the reviews, and I was not let down! The salsa was homemade and paired perfectly with the chips. I ordered the chicken flautas, and they were crispy and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we enjoyed our meal. However, the noise level was a bit high since it was a busy evening. Overall, I would say it's a fantastic spot for authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food, however, the service was a bit slow, especially during peak hours. I ordered chicken enchiladas and they were good but not the best I’ve had. The environment was pleasant, and the restaurant has a nice charm. I think I would return but hope the service is faster next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had dinner at El Capitán last night, and it was a culinary delight! I ordered the shrimp ceviche, and it was bursting with freshness. The owner stopped by our table to ensure everything was to our liking, which was a nice touch. The only downside was the parking; it was hard to find a spot since the restaurant was quite popular. Looking forward to the next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was fine, but I wouldn't say it was remarkable. The food was satisfactory, but I feel there are other establishments in the area that serve better fare. The décor create a pleasant atmosphere, yet the overall experience didn’t leave me wowed. I may consider returning to give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes but left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The quesadilla I had was decent, but nothing special. The atmosphere was lively, but service was not as prompt as I expected. It’s not a bad place, but I think I could find better options in the area for authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)
