So as a local I absolutely love their food the flavor is alway on point. But..... 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!!! read more

This place deserves your attention. Superb service, amazing salsa, chips & bean dip. The best savory fish tacos I've ever had, so tender & citrusy. Did I mention the Cucumber Margarita?? Get in here, have a stupendous meal & give them a great review! I wish they were in my home town.... read more

They took so long to serve our food the place wasn't even busy there was like two other families. They forgot one of our dishes and had to wait another 20 minutes for it to be in time. Food was cold and burnt. read more

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food. My family wanted to try El Caporal out. I was very surprised. My 15 yr old son and I split a burrito. It was so good. My younger son got the kids chicken strips. It was really good. And lots of food. I'd definitely recommend this spot. Service was great. Food was really yummy! read more

Food is delicious but they have poor customer service, on a non busy afternoon, we had to look for our server after 30 minutes of waiting to place our order. When food came our we had to ask our server for the essentials that we need when we dine in from napkins to ketchup for the kids fries. Bad service but excellent food. We have been there a few time and it seems to be the same scenario of bad service. read more

Best Mexican food in Town...I've tried them all....this by far is a must! Made all by true blue Mexican chef! He is a quiet man but knows his business! read more

I wanted to like this place because of the reviews. This is a prime example of adjusting to your demographic. The dishes are "authentic" in name but not in flavor. Everything lacked seasoning. We had the chicken soup and the combination plate with a cheese enchilada, beef Tamale and a taco. The soup was edible after I added salt and pepper and some of the house salsa that was given with the chips at seating. The enchilada had way too much cheese and I didn't think that could be possible but the red sauce was flavorless and watery so all you tasted was cheese. The tamale had no spice to it at all, the masa was pale as if they only used Maseca and water. The best part was the shredded beef inside the taco and I still had to add salt to it. If you are used to REALLY authentic mexican food, this place will disappoint you. I guess that's what I get, being from Arizona trying Mexican food elsewhere! read more

We were there today. We arrived at 7:30 we understand that was busy. Someone took our order and we waited over an hour. We kept seen people that arrived after us get their food. So we finally asked about our food and the waitress had to ask us to repeat our order to her. We decided to get up and leave. They couldn't even find our order. I am pretty sure they did not even order our food. I love this place and love eating there, but today was the worse service I ever experienced. Waitress wouldn't even acknowledge us. If we didn't ask for our food we probably wouldn't known they never placed the order. read more

Being from Vegas, very challenging, finding authentic Mexican food in the area this place definitely checks all the boxes. Service was amazing. Food was great. The entire experience was amazing. read more

Had dinner at El Caporal Restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho and ordered a shredded beef burrito (No. 71 on menu). I ate only half of the burrito and half of it was filled with beef fat. I pulled the fat out and set it aside for the waitress to see. When she showed up with the bill, I asked if that was standard fair for the shredded beef burrito and was told that it was because some people like it that way. I wasn't happy to pay $13.99 for fat and not meat. My wife and I had eaten for the first time in El Caportal in Burley, Idaho a couple of days earlier and she had a chicken burrito and came across half of a wishbone in her meal. We didn't say anything then and chalked it up to an accidental oversight. We tried the restaurant in Twin Falls a couple of days later, on her birthday when I experienced the humongous amount of fat in the burrito. Very disappointing. If this is "authentic Mexican cuisine", then we shall pass on eating again at these restaurants. read more

Great service. Such pleasant and attentive waitstaff. The food is delicious and, although it's one of a zillion Mexican restaurants in the area, it's really one of a kind. Their seafood dishes are really good. I had the tuna tostada and, although its was nothing like what I was expecting (was cold/more like ceviche), it was absolutely delicious, and was a great option if you want to go on the lighter side. They have numerous other dishes that aren't available at their competition, including octopus and other seafood dishes, as well. Their salsa is very good, as is their bean dip. It's usually fairly quiet, although it can get noisy when it is busy, but the layout prevents it from getting overwhelmingly loud. My favorite Mexican restaurant in the Twin Falls area read more

Best authentic Mexican food in twin Falls and surrounding areas!!! The service is exceptional, the ambience is amazing. Fairly priced, but you cannot beat the taste anywhere in town. So glad to find quality authentic food. read more

Well I normally take pictures of everyone's plates.... But I kinda got excited with my fajita salad bowl lol we have been here quite a few times and the service is always fast and on point. The waiters are always checking in on us and it's a very welcoming family restaurant. I love the vibes, the music they play while having your meal. It's definitely a place to try out. Being from Texas you don't really find good authentic Mexican places to eat here in Idaho. But I would definitely recommend this place and I'll be coming here again. read more

The food is good. The service is inefficient we had 3 different servers and a manager all asking us the same questions like do you want another drink, more chips or whatever.... Just never got the chips or sauce. They need a better system for the servers. Shout out to Carlos! He was especially good. Thank you Carlos!! read more

There were 5 of us. 4 got their dinner, the 5th one didn't get theirs (because staff messed up the order) and we were almost done when he got his. Then they charged the credit card $1000.00 more than the bill was. Incompetent staff and the food was not very good either. Their actions over their mistake were very unprofessional and didn't want to take responsibility for their mistake. Terrible customer service!!We definitely won't be back! read more

Food and service were excellent. Bottle beer prices were fair. Best taco salad in town.

This is a disaster. If you're not Mexican don't waste your time you will be treated like shit. They made my mom move her truck and they do not have required handicap spaces. It was like 85 degrees inside and took forever to be greeted after we were seated. Once we finally got to order it took forever to get our food even though people who arrived after us were already eating and then it came out one plate at a time and was at least 10 minutes before the last plate was brought out after the first. I've left this place since they opened in burley She has done very well, but this Twin Falls Location is sad. It's clear they cater to one specific group here read more

Ambiance was ok, service was pretty good, the wet burritos was so delish- the ceviche wasn't. We will be back ( and avoid the ceviche) read more

We came down from Logan, to see some Christmas lights. On our way there I saw this restaurant! It seemed lively, fun and it was packed. We stopped and the food/ service was great! Everyone was having a good time! read more

Food was great, I really like the fajitas there was good size steak strips and customer service.

Something wasn't right. Were they using left over food from days before? My burrito had a "pulverized mushy" mixture! It was like they ran everythingt through a meat grinder and stuffed the flour tortilla with it! Extremely BAD! In addition, if it had any of the meat they offered and that I specified/ordered, it must have been ground in as well because there wasn't any! VERY, VERY disappointed. I've eaten there a couple of times with friends. None of us came away very impressed. Sorry, if the truth hurts! Oh, and many of your staff just stand around and are oblivious to customers, new and existing! I would "highly" suggest that the owner take a look from the "outside in" and take some corrective actions to improve the food! Far from a local cuisine that should be recommended to others! To their credit, the restaurant looked very clean! Can't recommend! read more

If there was a 6-10 rating, they would get it! This was as authentic as You can get. This chef knows Mexican food! Great food great service! read more
