El Caporal II Ellensburg Reviews
I grew up in Arizona. I know what authentic Mexican food should be.
This place is authentic! The food is good. The service is amazing. It's always clean with friendly service. Ask your server what they would recommend. If you don't like it too spicy, they can accommodate special orders.
It's also possible to call in an order to pick up.
What's not to love?
Best food I have ever had at a Mexican restaurant. Wish they could expand their food here in North Carolina.

El Caporal II Ellensburg is a restaurant with a long-standing reputation for good food and friendly service. Visitors often mention that the servings are large and the atmosphere is pleasant, making it a convenient stop for those traveling through Ellensburg. The food is generally considered good, with some favorites like the taco salad and Macho Burrito receiving high praise. The chips and guacamole are consistently well-liked, and the restaurant has a history of providing a clean and well-maintained environment.
While many reviews highlight the positive experiences, opinions on the salsa vary. Some find it fresh and delicious, enhancing their Mexican meals, while others find it watery and inedible due to large hunks of raw onion. The service is described as super friendly, and the staff are often praised for their kindness. A few reviews mention that the food is basic but satisfying, and the place has been a part of the community for many years, even forming memorable connections with customers.
However, there are a couple of criticisms, such as the margarita tasting artificial and the salsa not meeting everyone's preference. Despite these minor issues, El Caporal II remains a popular spot for authentic Mexican food and a friendly atmosphere in Ellensburg.
