El Caporal - Foid - Mexican Near Me - Sun Valley, California

Either the food is really bland or my expectations are high. I ordered a torta de milanesa combo. Comes with a taco,rice and beans. The Milanesa was bland. No flavor. The Taco was an Asada Taco it was really good as well as the rice. It was very flavorful and I could eat a whole bowl of it lol. The beans were ehhh. The cashier was really attentive and nice which is great. It's a big open area so it can be private, as well as, they have good music playing in the background. Next time I'll get the tacos. read more

1 minute read: I will assign 5 Stars to most businesses on account they're in business for the business. El Caporal won't let you down. Their menu is typical and gaily priced. If you go by there, stop by and get a BUCHE Burrito. My favorite. Thanks. read more

3.5 stars. In a tiny plaza with limited parking in the lot. There is a good amount of seating inside but you can smell the cleaning products. The staff seems to speak limited English. The only service you get is ordering so keep an eye out for your food to come out of the kitchen and it comes out pretty quick. This place is definitely not about presentation. You get your food on a styrofoam plate on a plastic tray. The chips are just sprinkled onto your plate. Chips are great. The al pastor is different from what I'm used to but they were flavorful. The splash of red sauce on the tacos have a lingering kick. Two tacos come out to roughly $5. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid, the food simply never misses. Best tacos de lengua in the valley if not the whole state.

Went here for the first time because it was close to work the food is horrible. The quesadilla was so burnt that when I opened my food at the office every one could smell the burnt smell and it tasted just as awful. Hardly any cheese and it's really hard to mess up a quesadilla. I would never serve burnt food let alone if someone was paying for it... Spanish: la comida es horrible la quesadilla casi no tenia queso y estaba súper quemada que toda la oficina me estaba preguntando que olia quemado. Nunca serviría comida quemada mucho menos cuando alguien está pagando por su comida. Sabe asqueroso read more

Been eating here 4 years. The food is fresh, hot and fast. Great birria and machacca. Prices are reasonable too. The ensalada with machacca is the best. read more

Food is good. Prices are fair. Skimp you out at times but overall we keep coming back.

Food is really good and service is fast. Prices definitely have increased but that's to be expected. The red salsa is amazing

Excellent food chicken tacos. I don't speak Spanish so some of the food required translations from my phone. The cashier was really nice trying to translate for me. They even let me sample the chivas (goat) and it did not taste goaty. It was like shredded beef. I looked it up and it said that it's more healthy than chicken. So yummy. Next time I'll try that goat soup. I would definitely come back to try more. The place is clean but not great decor. Simple. At least the photos on the wall were helpful!! Parking was tight on a Thursday evening but plenty of street parking. read more

Love El Caporal for some good caldo de res, tacos, burritos and ceviche toastadas. The staff is always nice and welcoming. I miss that they don't have pickled carrots in their salsa bar anymore to complement their food. read more

Personally my favorite quick bite Mexican spot In the Valley. Not over priced, service is good, the salsa actually taste like salsa (not overly sweet) & the portions are great. My usual would be a ceviche tostada & carne asada tacos. This place never fails! The burritos are also nice n stuffed (again, great portions). Highly recommend :) *Reading some of these reviews make me laugh, go down the street to Salsa and Beer if you want a full authentic PLATE. 5+ read more

By the good reviews, I surely thought I was in luck to have a nearby Mexican restaurant that is in close proximity to my house. It was a Saturday afternoon, maybe three other patrons inside. I asked if they had some sort of fish or shrimp tacos, where immediately I was told no. I opted for some cheese enchiladas, seems safe enough. Ten dollars, and maybe three minutes later I get my order. I think to myself wow, that was fast! Only to arrive home and have a cold plate of enchiladas. The cheese wasn't melted, the sauce was canned, and to make matters worse the rice was flavourless! How do you even mess up rice?? The beans were just about the only thing I ate. Will not be coming back! read more

El Caporal - Cheese enchiladas - served cold, my fav! - Mexican Near Me - Sun Valley, California

Terrible, I called in 30 mins before closing and they notified me they were still open, I responded okay awesome I'll be there in 10. Upon arriving the cashier appears to be locking the doors and turning the lights off. When I walked up to the door, she just proceeded to just shrug her shoulders saying oh well, sorry we are closed ‍ I find that extremely rude , especially since you could've just told me on the phone that you were closing and I would've just gone elsewhere. I've been coming here for years and have never been treated like this, especially for stopping by 30-45 mins before closing multiple times. I always tip but this experience honestly ruined it for me. read more

Customer service is horrible the old woman cashier has a terrible attitude acts as if she has a broom up her rectum

Wow... Este lugar no se merece ni una estrella. Entiendo que todo ha aumentado, que necesitan aumentar los precios. Lo entiendo por eso seguía ordenando de este lugar, pero esta última vez parece que aumentaron los precios y la calidad y cantidad de comida disminuyó. Ordene una orden de gorditas. Ya me las saboreaba y no podía esperar a llegar a casa a comer. Que sorpresa... cuáles gorditas de lengua, me dieron un plato lleno de frijoles cocidos y unas tortillas remojadas. Que decepción!! Nunca mas, les recomiendo que vayan a otro lugar y no malgastar su dinero aquí. No importa cuando se a caro pero que valga la pena. Esto no vale la pena! read more

El Caporal - Puro frijol y unos tres pedacitos de lengua por casi $15! Como ?? - Mexican Near Me - Sun Valley, California

I had a chorizo burrito, it was very good, a bit spicy for my taste but still very good and flavorful.

My favorite, love the grodita de asada. There red salsa is the best and so is there jamaica.

I went in for Res soup. You can see the pot sitting right there where the guy got the soup from. I get home and pour it into a bowl and it was cold. Clearly it's not being handled at the proper temperature. I was unable to eat it do to being pregnant and not wanting to take the risk of getting sick from the soup not being managed properly read more

Came for Menudo, but they ran out at 1pm. The Mexican food was good. Tortillas were fresh. Red salsa was spicy. Place was clean. Would recommend. read more

It's all about customer service. Ladies act like you owe them. Ive never seen anyone have an attitude like they did

The food is fair. If you are hungry, this place will fill your tummy for a reasonable rate. The 'cafe de olla' is incredibly delicious and if you ask politely you might even get a refill. The salsa bar is fresh. Note: the restroom light is almost impossible to locate so use your phone light to find it in the hall way. read more

Best Mexican food!!! Recommend horchata, torta, burritos, and ceviche de camarón. Have a great spicy opinion.

Ok I have been living in Sun Valley for 5 years now and always seen this spot and thought ah just another taco spot But tonight we decided to give it a go Well we had the camaron(shrimp) ceviche and let me tell you they where awesome Nice pieces of shrimp and the mixture of onion and tomato and juices where right on point also recommend the green salsa Really good and they are not stingy Also tasted a bite from my son's chicken torta and that was really good too We found our ceviche spot FYI they only have shrimp but we like that Also really clean inside and great service read more

Called and asked what time they closed they said 10 PM and we arrived at 9:20 PM just to find out that they were closing doors already. we couldn't eat in so we were forced to take to go . in my opinion bad customer service and if they were leaving exactly at 10 they should close their doors at nine. wouldn't recommend it to nobody read more
