Food is good, service is friendly, restaurant is clean and decorated nicely. Taking away a star because their water is absolutely horrendous. It tastes right out of a garden hose. You can taste chemicals and whatever else is in tap water nowadays. We ate our meals and went thirsty because it was that bad. Remember to bring your own filtered water if dining in. read more

My family & I finally tried La Capital for the first time. It did not disappoint. The decor is El Día de los Muertos. They also have a few TV's playing different sports. Everything was very clean & inviting. I ordered the birria guacamole burger with fries. It was DELICIOUS! Handmade patty with fresh guacamole, birria & sautéed onions. I didn't even have room for fries because the burger was huge. My husband had the quesadilla bacon avocado burger with fries which was really tasty too. Our kids got the kids hot dog with fresh fruit (standard hot dog) & the kids bean, rice & cheese burrito with fresh fruit. They were happy with both. For dessert we got the homemade flan (so good & a nice size slice) & the deep fried cheesecake with ice cream (really yummy). We also had horchata to drink (homemade, not the mix) which was really good also. Our waitress (Jenny) was extremely helpful & very nice. She made sure we had a great experience & would want to come back again. We will definitely be back! read more

Service was exemplary- super friendly, prompt, and accurate. Ambiance was quaint and was comfortably quiet; an open layout and lots of seating near windows with a pretty view. Lots of food options, including salads and sandwiches. The chimicanga was enormous! So good, and enough for leftovers to enjoy later. They also have a meeting room you can use. Overall, it is a lovely place for a relaxing meal. read more

La Capital Cafe and Grill Restaurant - Chimichanga with red sauce - Mexican Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

A one and done here for me. Sterile atmosphere in a nice building but it was mostly the terrible service that stands out. Had to go up twice to ask for water and chips. Took a long time for the food to arrive and when it did it was mediocre at best. The chile verde was the only acceptable item and the portion was sadly minuscule. I'm being generous with 3 stars. read more

Who orders CFS in a Mexican cafe on Taco Tuesday? A gravy-aholic! Hi, my name is Lana. Today was my first experience here. Noon on a Taco Tuesday. Not super busy, about 4 tables came in about the same time. Quick service. Pork Carnitas Taco lunch special. $9.99.. but the gravy on the CFS was highly recommended. It didn't disappoint. I'll be returning next Tuesday to try the tacos. read more

The cafe is a bit hard to find but once you're there, the interior is colorful and welcoming. My server Gali was very warm and friendly, and my food came out super-fast! The Tacos Jalisco were piping hot, topped with grilled onion and cilantro with consomme, rice, and beans on the side. Fantastic flavors that really popped! The Flan Napolitano I ordered for dessert didn't have the smooth, custardy texture I was expecting, but it was still tasty. Definitely check this place out! read more

Another great meal with excellent service from Jennifer! I came in thinking I was going to have the Huevos rancheros for breakfast but when I heard they had homemade clam chowder I could not help but order it. It was superb! I have officially put clam chowder into my calendar as a reminder on Fridays. Yum! read more

Great taco spot, their birria taco is the killer for sure! Make sure to try it when you visit! They offer great variety of food, not just Mexican food. The service is good, the staffs are very friendly, but the waiting for food is relatively long at least for the last couple of times I visited. read more

7/9/2022 Wanted to give it a try at the new restaurant in town.. Plus: portion size of the birria tacos is great for the price-3 tacos.. Another plus: was able to use the Yelp check in discount.. I didn't care if the birria tacos.. they were very bland.. hence I only ate half of one.. The carne asada tacos: very disappointing.. Only one corn tortilla-not doubled.. And the meat was diced into squares and not as tender as my other place in Sparks.. Service was decent- a little longer wait from the time of ordering to when it arrived- Plus a pesky fly was zooming by! Glad to give it a shot.. read more

Good Restaurant However I went there Thursday and it is closed Building is vacant everything is gone read more

I really love the decor. Dia de los muertos is the art theme and is very cool. The service is outstanding. Luz R is awesome. I had the Mar Y Tierra seafood combination. Mussels, shrimp, chicken, and chorizo mixed with peppers and onions on rice. The veggies, though cooked, were still a bit crunchy...perfect. The rice was cooked evenly. It was quite spicy but had flavor, not just burn. It came with toasted garlic bread as well. It was quite awesome overall. Mom had 2 eggs as they do all day breakfast. She gobbled those suckers down. She was quite pleased as well. We will be back. Protip: they are slow during the week during evening. We went on a Monday at 6pm and were the only customers there. They said they are busy in the morning and at lunch and slow down during the evening but have a busy "to go" business. read more

If you are looking for GREAT FOOD, PRICES, & SERVICE look no further because La Capital Cafe and Grill has it ALL!! La Capital is hands down my new favorite place to eat in Nevada. Not only do they serve Mexican food but they have a very diverse menu from sandwiches, burgers, and so much more! The decor on the inside is nice and very welcoming. Very family oriented restaurant which is awesome. The service/waitress was absolutely amazing. We never had to ask for refills, she read back our order to make sure everything was right, after the food came out she checked how everything was tasting and if we needed anything. La Capital is the definition of a perfect restaurant! Anytime I pass through Carson City I'll definitely be at La Capital! read more

We have been attempting to eat breakfast here for a year or so and finally were able to catch them on a day when they were actually open when they advertised they were. To me, this place has a really good vibe. I'm not sure what it is, but it does. Unfortunately, the breakfast did not fit the vibe. Service was good, food was served in a timely manner, but the food was just average. I had the Huevos Ranchero and could barely cut through the tortillas at the bottom. I mean barely. The flavors were good, but the portions were kind of small. My wife had the breakfast burrito and loved the green sauce, but the burrito itself was average. We will definitely be back to give the place another try but not for breakfast. read more

The hubby & I stopped in for lunch to energize before heading to the dreaded Home Depot. I wanted the share the Birria pizza-dilla, but he was not cooperative, even with the giant Sculpin beer! Sadly, I'll have to get the queso dip next time too... He did enjoy a lovely carnitas burrito with green salsa. I ordered a house margarita and the Tacos Jalisco, 3 queso birria tacos with delicious consume'. It was easily enough for 2 meals and very tasty! I requested hotter salsa, which I would have liked with the chips too. Very spicy, just how I like it! Food was fresh and flavorful. The service was friendly in this great, family friendly and large space. There are several different rooms to choose for seating. We'll definitely be back. Oh, and the bar is cute and cozy. read more

If you are coming from Reno this is very easy to find: get off the 580 freeway at College Parkway (exit 6) turn left on College and the restaurant is less than a mile up on the right. Take a right on Goni Rd and the parking lot is right there. We loved this place! I got something I have never heard of: birria pizzadilla which is a pizza-sized quesadilla which has amazing flavors. Lots of flavorful meat, cheese, grilled onions, guac and a couple of dipping sauces. Just yummy! Update: the dipping sauce which is referred to as a consommé in the menu is unbelievable! I did not try it at the restaurant but brought it home with me along with the leftovers and I don't know enough about cooking to know what is in it but it is great. Don't pass it up! I cannot believe I did not have my phone/camera with me so I have no pic. Too bad because it is a very impressive sight. The menu is broad which I love. Lots of choices. My only gripe is that the print on the menu is too small for my old lady eyes! Overall, nice place, good service, good food, and parking! No idea why this place is not super crowded, but I will be back. read more

Had brunch at La Capital for the first time ever. I wasn't very hungry, I ordered the chicken tortilla soup. It was not as hot as I prefer, the flavor was one note but nothing special. I won't order it again. Our waitress was very attentive and patient with our large group. The restaurant was very clean in the front of the house. read more

I don't venture there often but when I do, the food is good , the services the same , and the price is not bad and they seem to keep it very clean so I definitely would recommend it La Capitale café ! read more

The service was awful last night, we ordered drinks and appetizers. The drinks didn't come till after the guacamole and the chips were served in a tiny bowl. The elote wasn't very good. The waitress was scattered and rude. The place itself is very nicely decorated. But that's really the only good thing I can say as of now. Please train your staff to be friendly and efficient. read more

We love their hours. Being open early is awesome for breakfast. My husband and I ordered takeout breakfast burritos and they were awesome. They have so many different varieties of meats and everything tastes so fresh. Our order was ready quickly and pick up was fast. The staff is very nice and friendly. We look forward to trying supper there sometime soon! read more

The food is good and it's always nice to have another place that serves delicious birria tacos . The only downside is that even during slow times it can take a while for the food to be brought out, which is a little frustrating if you're the only customers there at the time. Other than that the food is tasty and the staff are nice! read more

La Capital Cafe & Grill is Carson City, Nevada newest family owned and operated restaurant boasting to bring authentic Mexican Cuisine. Unfortunately, I would question its authenticity and flavor which was lackluster for me. + DRINK(s)//FOOD(s)//SHOW(s) [Rating 2/5]: I got a Fajita Salad. it has romaine mix, blackened grilled chicken roasted, red and green bell pepper, red onion, black beans, roasted corn, cilantro, fresh grilled jalapeno, guacamole, pepper jack cheese, topped with crispy corn tortilla, and a side of chipotle ranch dressing. I was hoping that the fajita salad would have tasted great. However, I felt the romaine mix and the rest of the ingredients did not taste fresh. Additionally, the chicken was dry. + OVERALL [Rating 2/5]: The combination of horrible service and food not tasting as fresh. I was extremely disappointed. I would not return. read more

Tried it two times now. Service is slow at best, they prioritize take out over dine in customers. Food was meh, jack in the box tacos would have been better tonight. Salsas varied widely between visits. Some great items on the menu but won't bother coming back to try them after two misses. Ambiance is nice. read more

I saw an ad for this restaurant on yelp and had it saved as a bookmark to try. It's tucked away in Carson city and does not look like a restaurant from the outside. Once inside, the decor gives it the authentic Mexican vibe which goes right along with their menu options! The green sauce on my chimichanga tasted homemade and not out of the can like some other places. We went on a Friday night and it was only my girlfriend and I in the restaurant which was kind of odd. The service was adequate and food was great. We will be coming back! read more

La Capital Cafe and Grill Restaurant - BIRRIA PLATE - Mexican Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

The food at La Capital Cafe is very tasty with generous portions. I've had breakfast and dinner there. The carnitas burrito I had for dinner last night was sufficient for two "big eaters." It was jammed with tasty carnitas and beans. I'm a big man and, for me, this burro is sufficient for two meals. My only issue is that the salsa verde was rather mild for my taste. I've only ordered take-out since I live nearby, but the restaurant is very clean, and in a nice North Carson neighborhood. read more

While doing some errands my husband I decided to stop here for breakfast. Pretty spacious and fun decorations. Our waitress Jenny was super friendly and accommodating. My husband got the parrillada. A meat filled omelet. I got the steak and chilaquiles. We were both very happy and satisfied with our choices. The chilaquiles were cooked perfectly. It's like one of my favorite Mexican dishes so I was so happy to see it on the menu. My husband loved the flavor of his omelet and the potatoes were crisp and seasoned just right. I have to say the best part was the awesome service. The food was great but you can have good food and mediocre service. Not here. La Capital has it all. We will definitely be going back to try lunch or dinner. read more

I've been here more than once and kinda in between to give the stars after my second visit. I guess 4 stars because their service was so nice and very friendly. My co worker told me about this place so we came here later in the day after work. The inside is spacious with large great painting in the middle of the restaurant. By the front door, they also have one nice small bar. We ordered carnitas and beef stew. The tortilla came warm and the tortilla cover was very nice touch so your tortilla will stay warm. Carnitas was good and wasn't dry. The beef stew was also very good sauce. The beef was very tender. Rice was pluffy and also had a good flavor. The habanero salsa wasn't that spicy, mostly had sour taste instead spicyness. Our waitress was Jennifer and she was very friendly and courtesy. She's not rude or whatsoever like the other yelper said. Second visit was also very nice waitress. Very attentive. Sorry didn't catch her name. The only thing that wasn't the same only the food. Same order which was carnitas and this time the carnitas was too dry. The rice was pluffy but no flavor. The habanero salsa was also different. This time was taste like the one from a bottle. Wasn't spicy, just tangy. The tortilla was o my wrap in the aluminum foil and the texture was totally dry and not fresh. It was most like been reheat. No more tortilla warmer cover? I was quite disappointed because the food wasn't taste as good as my first visit. I was also wondering why don't they serve their customer chips and salsa before the food arrives? Well I guess because this place isn't just specialty for Mexican food. Their menu for Mexican food basically so limited. But sure they do have something unusual from any other Mexican restaurant in town like Birria pizza. Most of their menu are typical American food. I guess it's all for the business tactic. So I guess for people who's really want Mexican food, don't get too excited much, because your choice are limited. I'm glad that I gave them a try tho. But I'm sure I won't be back here for months due the limited choice of Mexican food. read more

The food was Fantastic the waitress was amazing the place was clean and fun a lot decoration looks cool.

first time eating here and we were extremely disappointed. our food came late, and wasn't hot. The asada taco meat tasted old.

Just we will never eat here again. We tried this thinking it maybe good. NEVER AGAIN. read more
