They advertise they open at 9am on Sunday and they are closed. Don't come on time if you plan on eating here. The menudo is good their just not accurate with the time.

First time here & accidentally came in late & close to closing, once we realized we felt bad & asked to switch our order to-go, FRANSISCO told us not to worry & just enjoy our meal .. which made the experience beautiful ! We got to enjoy the beautiful restaurant & music playing .. this is the best food I’ve had in a long time ! Everything about the service was nothing short of amazing ! Thank you so much Francisco & El Caporal team for such a good meal & a memorable time ! Well definitely be a consistent returning customer

Kind of a little hole in the wall, and maybe a bit dumpy looking, but some of the best Carnitas and Mexican Style Fish in the Pasadena area, and I have tried a lot of them.

Ordered a Carne Asada Burrito. Although flavorful, it felt very small and not filling enough. Too expensive for the price paid for it, as the flavor couldn’t compensate for the price and size. Also those sauce containers are so small!

Huge disappointment. Tacos are simply awful. Asada is awful and looks like chicken. Bought quesa tacos awful. The tortillas seem like I was eating Chilaquiles. Don’t bother.

El Caporal is a great spot for Mexican food lovers. They offer tasty dishes at affordable prices, with an authentic flavor. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, and they even have a parking lot at the back. Plus, they welcome pets in their outdoor seating area. The staff speaks both English and Spanish, making everyone feel at home. Definitely worth checking out!
