" I'm a loyal customer of El Caporal. Their super nachos are my absolute favorite, loaded with toppings and served hot. The dining area maintains a good cleanliness level, and the service is always attentive. My only complaint would be the limited room inside the restaurant as it can get very packed. Still, I would recommend it to anyone seeking genuine and tasty Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Caporal is a hidden gem! I stopped by with some friends after hearing great reviews, and it certainly lived up to the hype. I had a beef birria and it was the best I've ever tasted. The meat was tender and flavorful, served with a rich dipping broth. Service was friendly and attentive. The place had a casual vibe, which I liked. My only criticism is that I wish it was open longer on weekends. I will absolutely return for more of their delicious offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Caporal is without a doubt a fantastic find for Mexican food lovers! The carne asada fries I ordered were enormous and incredibly delightful! The meat was seasoned well and savory, ensuring I enjoyed every bite. I appreciate that they serve both traditional and contemporary dishes. The only thing that might be considered a downside is the occasionally long wait time during busy hours, but patience is worth it for such quality. Overall, highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to El Caporal for dinner last week. The ambiance inside is cozy, with colorful decorations that reminded me of dining in Mexico. I ordered the shrimp ceviche and it was refreshing, zesty, and full of fresh ingredients. The staff was warm and attentive, which really added to the experience. I might have wished for slightly more portion size, especially for the price, but everything was delicious. Overall, I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for genuine Mexican flavors in a friendly environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time trying El Caporal, and I was pleasantly surprised! I had the quesadilla de carnitas and it was a true delight loaded with flavor. The atmosphere was lively and the staff made sure to check in on us regularly. Despite the slight wait for food, it was worth it. I would go back again to try other items on the menu!

" I've been coming to El Caporal for a long time, and it never disappoints. The shrimp ceviche is one of my favorites. It's so refreshing and packed with flavor. The customer service is always top-notch as well; I feel welcomed each time I visit. I highly recommend El Caporal for anyone who enjoys authentic and tasty Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great service, but the food did not impress me. I tried the carne asada burrito hoping to find the flavors that have been talked about, yet it felt a touch dry and lacking spice. The staff was wonderful and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. Unfortunately, while service was fantastic, the food fell flat for me. I might reconsider returning if slightly more seasoning is added. " (*Curated Review*)
