" El Capitán has become my go-to spot in Midland! The food is always fresh, and the flavors are just amazing. I love their special enchiladas; they’re loaded with fillings and come with a side of rice that’s seasoned just right. The service is typically excellent, though there have been times when I've had to wait a bit longer for my drinks. But trust me, the taste makes it all worth it. Worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" The vibrant colors and decorations immediately made me feel like I was in Mexico. I tried the burrito, which was stuffed generously and deliciously seasoned. I would say the portions were substantial for the price. The server was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. This place is definitely a fantastic find in Midland for any Mexican food lover. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic restaurant with authentic Mexican flavors! I tried the birria tacos and they were amazing, served with fresh corn tortillas that melted in my mouth. The owner was incredibly welcoming and checked on us multiple times during our meal. I also really enjoyed the tres leches cake—it's a must-try! The only issue was the wait time on a Friday night, but the food was worth every minute. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Capitán didn’t quite meet my expectations. It was very crowded, and the service felt rushed. I ordered the fish tacos, and while the taste was decent, they were overly greasy and lacked the freshness I was hoping for. The ambiance was lively, but it was hard to enjoy my meal with the noise. I'll give it another shot, as I've heard good things about other items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot rave enough about the enchiladas! They were so flavorful and topped with a tasty sauce that complemented them perfectly. The service team was attentive, making sure my glass was full and my needs met throughout dinner. The ambiance was cozy, though it did get a bit noisy at peak hours. Still, I enjoyed my meal tremendously and will be back soon! " (*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*)
