“It’s a Mexican FAMILY Restaurant…” Elias Benavidez, the founder of the El Caporal Restaurants, was frequently heard explaining to employees and customers. The first El Caporal was opened in 2004 with that mission to create a Mexican family restaurant, where good food and a comfortable welcome was for everyone. To walk into an El Caporal is to walk into your local Mexican restaurant, and it goes beyond just fajitas, tacos, and margaritas (Although we make delicious fajitas, tacos, and margaritas!). We offer a wide variety of classic Mexican dishes made with the freshest ingredients. Our menu is inspired by our heritage; merging Latin flavors with American favorites.
Casual outlet featuring traditional Mexican dishes, plus a veggie menu & margaritas in bright digs.

We were just passing through and found this great place. I totally recommend it to anyone who lives nearby. Large portions for the money, and very tasty.

We brought a fairly large group (15) with a mix of children and adults and they accommodated us perfectly. Food and service were top notch and they even sang a birthday song for us on 2 different occasions while we were there ( we had one birthday we were there to celebrate and another coming up 3 days later). We love this place!

Usually well above average, ordered tonight post 8:30 for pick up and after a 10 minute trip back home my hard tacos were basically floating and the ground beef itself was really odd in texture and flavor from what little I could stomach eating.

Spent 20+ years in Arizona/California. El Cap is hands down the best Mexican-American place I’ve tried in the southeastern US. It’s basic surroundings, with a huge menu, super friendly staff and food that comes out incredibly quickly. They don’t have an actual bar, but their margaritas are delicious. Y fuerte! I get legitimately excited when I get coupons for this place bc I know I’ll be back soon. There’s something for the whole family and it gets v busy during lunch/dinner rush, but no matter, those dudes turn tables at lightning speed. I love this place
