    A solid stop that's inexpensive on your roadtrip. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality, flavor, and cheapness. Total meal for me was under $10. Tacos are about $2.20 each. Refreshing sight! I got the Aztec DF taco and the chirriga taco. Both were great. The sandwiched cheese in between the two tortillas is tasty. The tortillas held together well. Yum. Friendly service and didn't take too long.

    Thier Chili con Carne was insane! Super tender pork, expertly spiced. My wifes burrito was also delicious. Easily the best I've had from a Mexican restaurant. Really friendly staff. Do yourself a favor, and check this spot out!

    2 traditional tacos (al pastor and cabeza) and 1 Aztec DF (carne asada). Delicious.

    Best decision to stop here on my drive from Boise to Idaho Falls. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and swing by for some tacos at a minimum. I opted for two traditional (al pastor and cabeza) and one Aztec DF (carne asada). Delicious. All meats cooked/prepared perfectly, and the specialty taco was an added bonus. The staff is super friendly and attentive, and the ambiance gives family restaurant vibes. All great reasons I'll come back anytime I'm driving through.

    Taco plate, different meats, were really tasty.

    Now these were some great tacos! The service was good, our server was polite and helpful. Salsa was a bit to watery, had a hard time scooping up anything of substance. But just going for the tacos, I will definitely go back.

    Wow we saw some great reviews about this mexican restaurant as we stopped on our trip. Being from southern California we are a little skeptical about mexican food in other states. We did not go wrong. We were kind of in a hurry racing a winter storm on our trip back from Boise so we decided on the buffet. We had Chile relleno, enchiladas, tamales, chimichangas, corn and flour fajitas, rice, beans, and a rice pudding desert. several very tasty sauces were on the buffet as well. We were astonished that all of the buffet items were so tasty. i especially liked the chimichangas and chile relleno. All of these items on the buffet for only $8. Oh I almost forgot the buffet also had authentic menudo. (tripe soup) This was the best mexican food we have had in Idaho ! I will be back.

    THIS restaurant on the Snake River was so beautiful & relaxing! We sat outside on the patio…read moreoverlooking the river! We were road tripping through Idaho & after our meal we couldn't believe we got in with no reservation! Our waitress Kara was great! My strawberry salad was super tasty. I added salmon & it was perfectly cooked & flavorful- not fishy tasting at all. My hubby had beef stroganoff & said it was ok but the sauce was not hot so it made the noodles "pasty." He LOVED the bread pudding which is one of his favorite desserts. He eats it often at many different restaurants bc we don't make it at home. I absolutely do not like bread pudding & I really enjoyed this one - it was caramel-ly & gooey but not custard/egg-like - which I preferred. We would return if we lived there!

    Terrible service and food, but restaurant is clean and well put together…read more Had a group of 6 and 2 people ordered halibut. It smelled super fishy and tasted horrible! They had to send back their plates and order something different. One person ordered a steak and the server put it in as Wagyu, when it was not. Received bill and the halibut was not taken off the bill. Had to tell them to take it off. To top it off, the manager never even came to the table to question the disgusting halibut. All around terrible experience, and we have eaten here before and it was good. I'd definitely recommend a different place until this place can get it figured out!

    What a step down. We loved their aquachile when we went a year or so ago. We had to come back. Back…read morethen they substituted octopus for shrimp in the aqualchile as my spouse is sensitive to shrimp. We saw they had greatly expanded their coastal Mexican concept with an entire picture menu of offerings, but no prices nor descriptions. So we just decided for a repeat - oh, the aquachile is ONLY available with shrimp? Well, a year ago... "it's only shrimp." - My spouse is allergic to shrimp. "We have other offerings." - So you won't repeat a year ago? --- Finally, "ok, but you won't like it. [Given the attitude, probably a correct statement.] And it's about a 60% higher price if you want octopus". [maybe cheap farmed shrimp versus frozen octopus?] We were traveling across Idaho and had not eaten that day. Still, I decide not to have anything. My spouse decides on a taco salad with shredded beef. She has it, I munch on the chips and salsa. Later [TMI - read if you wish], we had to make an emergency stop - she was feeling quite sick and had diarrhea. And we had already avoided shrimp. We won't be going back.

    My partner and I loved this place when we dined in 2023…read more We tried them again in early November 2024. Actually made a special trip to visit since our first visit in 2023 was so amazing. I'm not sure more could have gone wrong. I have a shrimp allergy. None of their Aqua Chili's have seafood other than shrimp. in 2023 they were able to substitute octopus in place of the shrimp with only a $5 up charge. When we asked this visit they said they could not do a substitution. When we said they did this last year our server went back to ask the chef and the chef said to double the price of the entree. So we looked over the menu. My partner filled up on their free refills of chips and salsa and I ordered the taco salad. It was good in taste, reasonable in quantity of food. BUT...it caused me an upset stomach within 15 minutes of finishing my meal and then some diarrhea about three hours later. Not a good recommendation. I'm not sure it was food poisoning, it might just be a sensitive stomach to their ingredients. However I did not experience this discomfort last year. As to the service, it was not very good. We had to ask for water refills and salsa refills. The server was not friendly when we asked for no shrimp and please substitute with octopus instead. Overall not a good experience and they definitely have gone down hill in the last year. And their prices have increased. I will not return!

    So as a local I absolutely love their food the flavor is alway on point. But…read more.... We came in and ordered the fajitas and I gotta tell you, don't, just don't. Theirs so many better options out there. Let me expound, they give 4 tortillas less than a spoon full of guacamole maybe a spoon full of sour cream and ZERO cheese. Our waitress was rude and completely messed up our drinks cause she wasn't even listening. I'm like ok no problem will just take them at 15.00 a drink. If you want WAY better service and food all the way around go to Janitizios. They have fajitas where the extra mile to drive is well worth it . We've been there so many times but because of the time they were closed. This is now a second time fail on el Caporal. Last time it was the lack of communication on their seafood. I've gotta say as a local I'm probably not gonna return to this establishment. Obviously the owners do not pay attention to where the mistakes need to be addressed. With so many options available in twin I'd say avoid this place and seek way better options. Sad to see a restaurant capable of doing better and actually offering the amount proportionate to the plate completely fail on every level. But also seeing other restaurants have the ability to fullfill that at a way better price refreshing. Janitizios for the win!!!

    Best burger I have ever eaten…read more I ordered the bacon burger, and my son ordered the pork loin, and we cut them both in half and shared. It was the best burger I have ever eaten. Most burger patties are just okay, the majority of restaurants rely on unique sauces to carry the taste of their burgers over the top. We had a large dinner party, and more than one person ordered the burger. Every single person said they could have thrown away the rest of the burger and just eaten the patty and it would have still been phenomenal. It was that good. Then I had the pork loin. Best pork loin I have ever eaten in my life. It's the only time I've had a pork loin that was so tender and juicy, that I could have cut it apart easily with a fork. It was incredible. And the ginger and soy sauce marinade that they left it in gave it an amazing flavor. At the end of the night, I'm not sure if the burger or the pork loin was better. But, I haven't eaten food this good at a sit down restaurant for years. The owner of the restaurant came over and talked with us about how he makes the burger, and it was a cool conversation. He was a very nice, and grateful guy. If I lived in twin falls, this restaurant would become part of my regular circuit.
