    Went there for lunch and ordered red pozole, which had a lot of hominy, which i liked. It was very mild, could have used spicing up. The pork was in big chunks, hard to cut in a soup bowl. Husband had green enchiladas with chicken and loved them! Rice bland but beans tasty. The people there are very nice and we got good service. But be aware this is a place to go when it's warm enough to sit outside, because inside in January was like sitting outside!

    Writing the minimum to post because I want to let the tasty, spicy and delicious pictures speak for themselves! Nachos To Go:

    Mole Chicken enchiladas-only on Monday nights!

    Excellent! I had the best Mole Chicken enchiladas ever and (the mole sauce was what did it) my husband said that all burritos should taste like the one he had! Also he said was the best burrito he has ever eaten. The chips were also extremely fresh and a good salsa that had great flavor without heat, as I can't handle spicy! Service was friendly and quick. Lots of tables outside to enjoy your food and the awesome view of the mountains!

    I've never been creative when it comes to Mexican food, but after reading what al pastor meant, I wanted to try it. I ordered the three taco plate and had one al pastor, one chorizo, and one birria taco. Pineapple on a pork taco was a first for me and won't be a last! They gave me one of each sauce so I experimented with the heat also. It was so good, after I washed my hands the dog wouldn't stop licking my fingers!

    Pretty good food. Carne asada burrito was big and flavorful. Pastor tacos were good but I did think it was weird that the pineapples were fresh, not cooked. Usually al pastor will have the pineapples cooked with the meat. The regular taco meat tacos, sadly, weren't very good. We brought them home then they got thrown away. And I had to pay for roasted jalapeños with my tacos. Overall a pretty good place to stop for lunch. Outside dining was lovely.

    Nachos

    Nachos were fantastic and filling for 2 people! In fact 4 of us shared them. The bar is actually outside and that was really cool and unique. You order your food inside but it would be hard to eat inside because the area is quite small. We ate outside on this hot sunny day and thoroughly enjoyed our cold beer. Chilaquiles we're ok. Not how I have had them before. I thought the cut up tortillas were supposed to be soggy with scrambled eggs and oil. But these were more like nachos with some hard chips and some soggy ones. It was odd but not bad tasting. They were topped with crema and queso. The stuffed jalapeños were excellent and the biggest I've ever seen! They came out hot and wrapped in sizzling bacon. They are stuffed with chorizo and cheese. Interesting and a must order item.

    A nice dog-friendly outdoor seating area, and a friendly staff, make this restaurant appealing. The food is much like what you'd expect from a food truck (I suspect that they formerly were a food truck, but don't know). We had tacos: a taco plate (3 tacos with rice and beans) and 3 à la carte tacos -- we tried carnitas, fish, and carne asada -- each of which had a tack-on additional price (75₵ for carnitas 99₵ for fish and carne asada). I guess that chicken is standard, and these others aren't. The sauces were good (different spice levels and flavors), and the tacos came on soft corn tortillas. The carne asada and carnitas both had some flavor, but not as much as you'd expect. The fish, described as mahi-mahi, was a white fish, and it was cooked without being deep fried (which is good), and came with a white sauce (pretty standard). Each taco had cilantro, onions, and lots of shredded iceberg lettuce. I would describe the food as adequate, but unfortunately somewhat uninspired, not being particularly flavorful and with the iceberg lettuce actually detracting from the quality. So, there's nothing wrong with their food, but it's not so good that I long to go back.

    Food was good excellent! Prices were very reasonable. The staff was friendly. Friend and I came and were the only people dining, they told us we had to eat outside even though there was indoor seating. Just wish we could eat inside

    Stopped in here for lunch while passing through. It was later in the day so ordering was off the…read moredinner menu (didn't see a lunch menu but it may have been separate). The atmosphere was typical for a Mexican Restaurant. The server was quick and attentive. Chips and salsa were good. Salsa seemed homemade and had a little kick. I went with my traditional new restaurant order; taco, enchilada and chili rellano. They offered shredded beef which was my first plus (hard to find in the Midwest). Both the taco and enchilada had plenty of meat. Sufficient toppings on the taco. The rellano was excellent. Cheesy but. It over the top. The rice was very good as well. In all this was one of my best first experiences in a Mexican restaurant. If in the area it would be a must-return.

    I actually like El Caporal, and I've gone for years. However, they have gotten way too expensive. I…read morepicked up a Fajita burrito to go, that was it, and after a 20% tip it was nearly $30. It's above average Mexican food, but I don't think the quality matches the price anymore. If I'm paying $30 for a burrito, it better blow my mind. And it didn't. It was fine. It was $15 good. But for $30, not worth it. You gotta do something El Caporal. Either justify the cost by raising the quality, or lower your prices. Otherwise it'll be Rio Bravo for me most of the time.
