I am a huge fan of Mexican food and have visited more than 70 Mexican restaurants in last 3 years but this one is something else… everything I have tried (an I have tried almost every dish) was more than perfect..food is fresh and portions are huge! If you are ever in Sunriver or Bend you have to pay them a visit it will be well worth it. Ask for server Oscar or Carlos they are the best!
And of course don’t forget the best margaritas in town (hibiscus margarita or classic one)!;)

The food here is decent. We eat here a couple times a year and it’s very consistent. The service is good also. The area is pretty small and can get very crowded. Like all sunriver restaurants we try to avoid peak times of year.

I found this place amazing. Came here off a recommendation from a friend. Had a larger party of 9 people and they were well prepared and ready to serve us. Though coming in closer to there closing time as a big group, they didn’t hesitate to take us in.
Wait time wasn’t terrible, it was expected and for the food we got it was well worth any wait time. The place was decently full when we got there, and they still managed to be attentive and serve excellent dishes.
My parents always take me around to many Mexican restaurants, but I have to say, the food here hit beyond my expectations. Everything thing had an authentic flavor, the dishes were a lot larger than I thought(worked out fine for a big group), and I definitely will have to come back!
Biggest recommendations, for what I’ve tried so far, any of there tacos. Along with the shrimp being bacon wrapped and topped with cheese, made my day. My group also said there fajitas for two is definitely worth a try.
Price ranges, depending on what you choose. But way worth it.

Delicious food and very nice wait staff! The food portions were generous and fresh. Everything tasted great and it was a well rounded experience. There was also an impressive variety of margaritas on the menu. The menu was very large and plentiful.

It wasn’t busy inside though there was a short wait for dining outside. The service was prompt enough and everything came as ordered. The food was good, though I wasn’t all that impressed with the tortilla chips, but not really a big deal. I was very tempted to give a four star rating because I did not like the responses to some of the reviewers with personal slights. Nothing at all wrong with explaining or defending your business. It’s a lot better also if responses weren’t only made to negative reviewers. The prices are very affordable and it is definitely a good place to eat.

My wife and I were craving cheesy, crispy food and she wanted a pina colada. Mexican it is!
El Caporal is a restaurant in the village in Sunriver, OR. Inside is average size, clean and mildly decorated with about 15 tables. We went on a Wednesday for an early dinner, about 5 pm, and there were 2 other tables occupied. Bathrooms were ok, stocked and neither messy nor great smelling, just ok.
Our server, Cesar, was awesome from beginning until end. Chips and salsa were served along with ice water. The salsa is delicious – a bit spicy and smooth, not chunky. My wife got her pina colada ($9) and we had the cheese crispy appetizer. It was a large flour tortilla fried flat, then topped with cheddar cheese and baked in the oven ($8.50), nothing special. Her entree was one of the house specials, camarones al mojo de ajo ($24). Very tasty. I am a huge fan of taco salads in the shell, so I ordered the shrimp salad ($19.95), excited to see some new variations of fillings, thinking it would come in the shell, but to my dissatisfaction it didn’t. Even though on the menu it says the salads come in a shell. Nor did I get a choice of dressing, and the ranchero cheese was missing. The salads was very bland, and the shrimp seemed boiled instead of grilled or sautéed. I’m so glad that I added on a side beef tamale, which was deliciously soft and hot! Oh well, I know to ask next time.
The menu is quite large, and covers all the choices you usually have at a Mexican restaurant, plus some. Perhaps it was the cook that day, or that’s just the way things are served, but some sour cream or salsa sides would have gone a long way. Maybe not in Sunriver, but in my opinion there are much better Mexican restaurant choices out there, such as Hola.

My family and I stopped here for lunch. This review is just about our sever. We have no complaints about the food itself. We ordered carne asada burritos but when we were served it was just steak. We chocked it up to a miscommunication and said sorry we ordered carne asada burritos. Instead of just making the order right the server proceeded to argue with us and said we were wrong very rudely. Honestly we probably would have just eaten what he brought if he was a little more courteous.
In addition to being super rude when we got the check he added 20% gratuity automatically and we had to tell him to remove it. We saw the note on the menu that larger parties have gratuity added automatically but we only came in with 4 people. I feel that this is super unethical and the service was the most horrible I have ever had.
WARNING: Make sure to check your receipts as they might try to add a tip automatically or better yet just don’t eat here.

Not a great dining experience, food wasn’t too good, service wasn’t too good or friendly, bathrooms had no hand towels so had to pull the old “open the door with the shirt” trick. Wouldn’t recommend this location. Of course, as with nearly all restaurants in this area, food & drinks were overpriced.
