El Caporal

Been a customer here since around they opened, never disappoints. Their horchata is the best I've had in RVA, and it's not even close. I generally avoid ordering quesadillas, but theirs are AMAZING!! The chicken and shrimp quesadillas are to die for, not to mention pollo yucatan and fajitas (I could go on and on). Total visits are definitely well over a hundred times by now, and my orders have been super accurate. The only time there was a mistake, they insisted on fixing it even when I assured them it was okay. Love you guys!!!

Took a break from our usual spot to try El Caporal, and we were not disappointed! Really great food and service, and our food came out almost impossibly fast. We visited at 5pm and got there at just the right time, because by 5:30 the place was packed, with not an empty table to be found. Seems to be very popular, and for good reason!

we had lunch. i had the fajita ranchero. really really good. comes with steak and chicken with green pepper, onions, and tomatoe covered with cheese. on the side is beans, lettuce, tomatoe, and sour cream. plus three tortillas. she had the fajita constello. not sure i spelled it right but it is close. that is shrimp, and scallops with green peppers, tomatoes, and onion. plus beans and lettuce, tomatoe and sour cream. plus three tortillas. the nachoes were good too the roja sauce was a little spicy but not too much. the service was excellent and the small space makes it very cozy. will go again for sure. worth every cent.

Perfect place if you want a relaxed, casual experience. The spanish music is kept at a normal volume, the service is fast and friendly, the food is delicious and the servings are generous. It's a little hard to spot wedged between the 7-Eleven and a house used as a business, but this just adds to the charm

Great little place all around. The staff are so nice. The vibe is casual . Great alcohol menu, mixed drinks and beer, served cold and fast. You get a basket of chips with red spicy and white sweet/spicy sauces to crunch on. Me and my friend split King Nachos and we didn't even get through half. We both loved it.

We visited El Caporal for our son's birthday on a Tuesday evening. The restaurant was busy with locals. There were many items on the menu, making it hard to choose. The portions were large, sending us home with lunches for the next day. The wait staff was friendly and personable. If we lived in the Richmond area, we would make this a regular place to dine. The parking situation is a little odd, but we have a plan for the next time! Highly recommend dining here.

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!
