El Corporal is the best taco truck on the ridge, maybe all of Butte County. This place is my go-to when I am craving some tacos, tostadas, a Supreme burrito and even their new mulitas. Franco and the staff are always friendly. They have authentic fresh portions, that will fill you up. read more

Writing this review is literally making my mouth water. My husband and I love Tacos El Caporal. He gets the veggie burrito, I get bean and avocado burrito (yeah, I know it's weird). The prices are excellent - especially for the quantity of food. We are pretty active burrito connoisseurs and this spot is definitely in our top 5 for Butte County. I kinda almost wish they would open a restaurant, but then again I don't because it would ruin the Taco Truck ambiance. Haha. I literally am going to go get a burrito right now. read more

The best tacos in town! Have been going here since we knew they existed. The taco truck is pulled up alongside a remodeled former home in order to accommodate patrons who wish to dine in. The gravel parking lot offers plenty of space for the lunch and dinner rush too. But get there before seven because the truck pulls out and heads home to the fam. Other than the cheap and delicious tacos, they offer quite a big menu selection. The burritos are huge! But my favorite thing about this place is the service. Always top notch and they get your food out quickly. read more

Tacos El Caporal - Dressed up for Christmas - Mexican Near Me - Paradise, California

See all

So far my favorite Mexican food in Paradise. I think it's kinda cool the way the truck is just pulled up to a building. I'm a big fan of the hot salsa. Being a vegetarian if a Mexican food place doesn't have good salsa and hot sauce then I'm not into it. I have yet to try the mild but I love that the spicy is actually spicy. So the vegetarian burrito is less than $5 and I can't even eat it all at once. The vegetarian tostadas are also a great deal and very yummy. Make sure if you want chips and extra sauce you ask for it. Also throw in a couple quarters for some candy to help the local shelter while you wait for your food. I will be back read more

I'm sort of a burrito connoisseur, burrito junky, burrito fein. In my travels as a road warrior, I've eaten burritos from all around the country. And I do have a extremely high expectation on the quality of the food being served to me. A good restuarant has to put plenty of love into their food, for the food to be exceptionally good tasting. A good restuarant do not deviate from how the food taste, good one day and then the next time not so good. A good restuarant has to be constantly, and consistantly delivering great food. TACOS EL CAPORAL please taste test the food you serve. Then if you really like your own food, the public who you serve will like it also. Could be much better. read more

Tacos El Caporal - Mexican Near Me - Paradise, California

BEST TACO TRUCK IN THE WORLD! I moved away a few years ago and every time I come back to Paradise I have to come here, no other taco truck has come close. read more

Almost died of food poisoning a few years back and never got any help for the hospital costs. All I wanted was some help with the deductible. I even told them I would accept small payments...nothing . read more

This is one of the strangest setups I've ever seen, literally a food truck pulled up to a trailer with one of the smaller ends open, the food windows facing into the trailer. Patio table style tables in the trailer. You pick up your food from the window when they call your number, as if these were a picnic table by a food truck- which it is, but indoors (kind of?) In any case, the burrito was exactly what I'd expect from a taco truck. I enjoyed it greatly, it's my fav burrito in Paradise since that one place on lower Skyway closed. Very little reason not to get it to go, but if for some reason you don't want to you can eat there, somewhat protected from the elements although I'm sure it would be cold in the winter/warm in the summer due to how it's set up. I'm sure in the winter it would be much more pleasant to stand in there and wait for your food truck burrito than standing in the rain. I do appreciate the setup for that, but I don't think I would plan on staying there to eat. No booze sold here anyway, I gotta run home and make a Margarita! That said, I have gone back to this place probably 30+ times and they are always consistent. Way better than Casa de Paradiso. read more

These guys have the best Mexican food in town - for sure. No matter who is behind the grill, everything is fresh and delicious. I have never had a bad meal there. Now that they have the indoor seating, it's even better! Taco truck pricing - sit down restaurant booths. But these folks went above and beyond for me and my family. While the specifics aren't important, I'll say that it had nothing to do with their actual business. You expect business owners to do their best when they are serving you in that capacity. But this was completely unrelated and they neither asked nor accepted payment for the help. In the course of this project, they helped more than the people the project was intended for. Words alone cannot express my feelings and my thanks. read more

Great food truck with the best indoor seating I've ever seen. Love the carne asada! Shrimp tacos are good too! Customer service is friendly. I'll be baaaack read more

Tacos El Caporal - Shrimp taco & carne asada taco. - Mexican Near Me - Paradise, California

Prices have jumped since two weeks ago and the specials have less tacos. I've had the last two orders to go messed up as well. I always order the small beans and I've come home twice to find rice and beans. Food is still good but I think I am going to check out Fiesta Taco when Amigos de Acapulco isn't open. Since I have no receipt I can't give the order numbers and it would cost more in gas to drive back to fix it. Hopefully prices drop again soon and they pay attention to the orders. read more

They have stuck with Paradise even after the fire. Love these folks and their food. No matter how many times or what days I eat at the truck it's always always consistantly delicious! Hot, priced very fair, fast and just yummie! Friendly neighbors helping build again with terrific food. read more

Won't return. Chicken burrito supreme- which husband and I ended up sharing because my food was inedible. Hubby thought the burrito was bland; I thought it was average. Under no circumstances order what the guy at the register calls "carnitas". It's shredded fat with pieces of pork attached. No rendering of the fat through proper cooking or finishing off on the flat top to crisp up. I threw my bowl of pork and fat away. read more

First time I had chicken and beef tacos and they were quite good. Good enough to come back for a veg burrito, which was lukewarm and boring. Very white, cheap-o tortilla stuck to my teeth, adding an unwanted gumminess and an unwelcome post-lunch flossing. read more

Best Mexican food in paradise. The only place up here to have authentic foods like sopas and lengua.

Finally! I have found a place that doesn't screw with my emotions when I ask for it spicy/hot. I've been here twice now and both times have ordered street tacos, spicy. Both times they were spicy enough to make my nose run - and to top them off, they were delicious!! So much flavor beyond just being spicy. And they give you jalapenos, limes, and chips with salsa on request at no charge. The salsa was delicious! My SO ordered a carne asada burrito and said it was really good! Also, he can't take the heat the way I can and made the mistake of ordering it hot - a grown man crying while eating a burrito is a sight to see. But he tells me they were tears of joy :) read more

I plan on going back!! My family and I tried this place for the first time and everyone was incredibly happy with their food. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors were awesome. We had a large order and they got everything correct and got it all made quickly. Only thing is their mild salsa was too spicy for my family. read more

How many taco trucks have a restroom heat tables and chairs? They have a great menu with more items than I've ever seen from a truck.. Alway customers in and out and they are very fast. Everything I've had was great.. The best Mexican food in paradise! read more

Best Mexican in Paradise by far. Inexpensive, quick and delist! What more can you ask from a taco truck? The burrito bowls w/pastor are my favorite. read more

I live right across the street, but even if it wasn't so convenient this taco truck-turned little restaurant would still be my go to place to get some ah-may-zing Mexican food with free chips and quick service. This cute little place is the best! read more

I love this place, they have the best food truck in town. Only thing it is missing a license to sell beer, because their food goes great with a beer. read more

I love Tacos El Caporal. Definitely one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Paradise. It's an odd setup since the taco truck where they prepare all of the food is parked next to an enclosed building; you order food from the side on the truck while standing inside the building. The business has evolved over the years from your traditional taco truck setup to a "restaurant style" building with indoor/outdoor seating. My favorite thing to order is the Burrito Supreme. The burrito is delicious, full of flavor and very filling. I never leave Tacos El Caporal hungry. The service is also very quick. I never have to wait long for my food. read more

Once again this place has been a disappointment. I'm gluten free so for the first time I asked if I could get a couple small corn tortilla quesadillas in place of flour. Once I saw the cook put the pack of flour tortillas on the front counter near the other window I (and the woman taking my order) saw how HUGE they were. No less than 14", of which they take one and fold in half for an order and is usually an inch thick. I commented on this and she knew that two (of their 4") corn tortilla's were not sufficient so she offered three. I was happy with this and said "thank you, that seems fair". As soon as I took my bag I knew something was wrong. It was way too light. Upon inspecting it in my car I found three COLD, open-faced, soft tortillas LOADED with lettuce. There was next to no meat, no guacamole and no, literally no, visible cheese....on a quesadilla. I took them back in thinking I had gotten someone else's order. They proceeded to argue that they were quesadilla's. Um, what? How's that? They then dug their fingers into the lettuce to point out a truly pathetic sprinkling of cheese, so little it had already dried hard. They continued to insist they were quesadilla's and that I just didn't get that I needed to fold the completely un-browned, cold, cheese-lacking tortilla's in half! Jeez, come on! I felt like I was in crazy town. I didn't have the time or energy to continue arguing, or for something else to be prepared incorrectly, so I asked for my money back, which I got. Most of what I've had here has been good tasting, but being gypped because they simply didn't want to add a reasonable amount of cheese and top them each with another cheap tortilla is ridiculous and insulting. In addition, I cannot count how many times I've asked for limes - no limes, paid for a plate of rice - got home and no rice, asked for chips and salsa - no chips or salsa, paid for a plate of beans - got home and no beans. Damn it, really people? They've repeatedly made eating there a hassle and a waste of my time and money. Try the truck down on Skyway near town hall. It's MUCH better in many ways. read more

Not the best taco truck in the world but certainly not the worst. Really like the tacos and tortas there. Tostadas are really small (I think I'd have to eat about three to be full) and the burritos are a tad on the bland side. The setup there is kinda cool with the truck being parked right alongside a building so you can eat inside. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a good place to eat in Paradise where as many people know pickings are a bit slim. Definitely has the "in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king" factor going for it since I'm not a fan of Meehos (since they changed ownership), La Comida, or Casa de Paradisio which are your other main Mexican options in town. read more

Good taco truck style mexican food, and sadly the best mexican food in Paradise by far!

Best Mexican food in Paradise! Their spicy salsa is amazing (too hot for me but has great flavor)! I will definitely be a repeat customer!
