Reviews of El Caporal - Mexican Bar & Grill (Restaurant)

Love the food and great staff! Rarely have to wait to be seated and away prompt with drinks, ordering, and bringing out the food. Endless supply of chips and salsa to be had. Inside and outside dining options and great prices for the portions. Need to stop and check this place out!

Grace Stein

BEST FOOD IN OHIO!!!!! Must eat here!!! We come here 1x a year and always eat here first day!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

James Brown

Really awesome place. Food is great, margaritas are generous with the alcohol. Only downside is place is crowded on weekend nights and can be a wait. Still worth the wait though.

rjjm88

Absolutely amazing food and service. They were more than happy to make tacos traditional Mexican street food style. I ordered the pork, beef, and chicken tacos and they were all incredibly good. Will definitely be going back!

Chris Connaughton

Great food, service, and the margaritas are the best in town!

J Steven Osborne

Good, consistent food. Reliable service.

Cheddar Wang

I can't remember but I believe I got smothered burritos; one chicken and one beef... I couldn't have had it cooked any different. In broad terms it was exemplary in showing how well they can present, cook and serve! Everything was excellent and at a great price! Muchas gracias!

Andrea Lynn

Very good food. The salsa is homemade, very fresh. I ordered lunch fajitas, just found it odd that there was no salad topping included. It's chicken pepper and onion fry .. with rice, beans.

Robert Bolin

A bit noisy but very good food and reasonable prices. We stopped in for Cinco de Mayo and even though it was crowded as one would expect, we still got seated right away. The wait for the food was very reasonable. I had a stuffed chicken breast Relleno-style. The chicken was so tender I cut it with a fork. My wife said they had great seasoned ground beef in her taco salad. We will go back again.

Mikele Boyd

Service was fast.

Jason Crouch

Went here for lunch very good

Damien C

Best Mexican restaurant in the area. Food and service are top notch!

Venkatraman Ramani

Yesterday (09/06/2019) we went to El Corporal, Mason OH and had a terrible experience. We ordered Veggie Fajitas and it was horribly cold. There was no sizzling noise. Our Evening dinner was a disaster. We will never recommend this to anyone.

Their service deserves 4 stars alone. Took in a party of 13 on short notice during a Saturday evening. Left no one in the party waiting. Even helped pull off a fun prank with one of our party! We'll be back if in the area again.

Lunch was real good, the chicken burrito was a little salty, but good.

Jason Gifford

The staff is always friendly, our orders are correct and for a family of five we feel like we get a lot of great food for our money. Their menu is huge, you can try something new every visit and not be disappointed.

John Sanford

One of the very few Mexican restaurants that will match my spice level requests. The service has always been prompt and courteous and the food delicious.

Kelly Mackey

This is a great place to go if you do not want to have to wait a long time for a table, even during peak weekend hours. It is casual, but they have a nice atmosphere and a decent patio for this area. Big plus on a nice day. Service is friendly and competent. The food is some of the best traditional TexMex I have been able to find here in Ohio. Good salsa, too. Being from Texas, it has been a struggle finding good Mexican food, but we found it here!

kerry gordon

I have literally been coming here since my daughter was in a pumpkin seat...and she is 13 now! The food is fine but the margaritas and the people are amazing. I feel like I am visiting family when I'm here :)

Maria McNeely

Fajitas for two was huge portion and tasted terrific! Service was friendly and fast. Only complaint was server told us margaritas were 5.99 but was more like 6.99 when the bill came. Though since it was closing time and we didn't take the time to address the discrepancy.

Matthew Shrock

Great food, excellent staff! Best authentic Mexican food around. You can't go wrong here! If you have a group of people I would highly recommend the molcajete. Check it out!

Delicious food, very authentic! Excellent service and large selection of menu items, something for everyone.

I would give it a zero if I could.. The worst service I have ever received. They were in such a hurry to close down that they messed up our food several times.. will stick with El Rancho Grande from now on.

Torben Fasoldt

Dinner chimichangas were small and so so.

Danielle Partridge

Got my meal through Door Dash, which included tacos and queso dip. Food was very very good and authentic. Will be trying again....

Matt Busch

Family favorite for Mexican food. Great service with very friendly staff. Pretty quick service and usually not a terrible wait.

shivangi patel

I’d give the restaurant here a ZERO. The waitress, DIANA here is absolutely rude. She doesn’t take the order properly, and then the food comes out half uncooked and not as told and then she has the attitude to yell at us in front of everyone. When we politely asked for the food to be remade, she came out and just yelled it’s not raw, she didn’t even look at it. If I’m eating it, I would know the difference between cooked and uncooked. She keeps pointing out about payment instead of accepting her mistake. AVOID COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT, go to BDUBS next door for good service!

Christopher Jackson

Great food, friendly staff! They even let our furbaby sit with us in the outside seating!

Patrick Grimes

Great people. Fast service. Big beers!

Robyn Myers

Sometimes slow but my family has one server that makes us laugh.

Best. Fajitas. Ever. I've never had a bad experience here. The owners are super friendly and always make the rounds to say hello. It's the only mexican restaurant we go to anymore. EXCELLENT!

Great food at a great price! Very friendly and helpful!!! First time there and will definitely be going back. I had a combination plate with a chicken taco and cheese enchiladas.

venkat pinnelli

Fantastic, Real Mexican! Not like a regular Mexican chain restaurant. Last minute to-go order and was not disappointed. The ambience is decent and nice seating area. Has a decent size bar. Give it a try!

Bri Rader

They don't mess around when it comes to hearty, wholesome, authentic food. I just ordered a giant meal from them and made the mistake of having my carne asada tacos set to "muy picante", oh boy. I drink sriracha as a hobby and they had me at picante. I will see you on my next day off as I come down there and stuff my face with more amazing food.

Subrat Pati

Very tasteful. Like homemade

Jose Iraolagoitia

Came on a busy Thursday night with my 8 yr old son. Service is great. Food is above average. More authentic than most.

Subbiah Alagappan

Tim Frisch

Good food.

Alexander Schmidt

I took my crew there for lunch & the waiter over there with loud voice is very bad & his attitude is worst I ever seen as a waiter. Y can’t I give them zero star. Worst Mexican restaurant we been to.

Pamela Rhodes

Chicken fajitas were delicious, husband enjoyed his burrito. We will be returning.

Andrew Baxter-armentrout

venkat pinnelli

Fantastic, Real Mexican! Not like a regular Mexican chain restaurant. Last minute to-go order and was not disappointed. The ambience is decent and nice seating area. Has a decent size bar. Give it a try!

Stephanie Rish

Food was disappointing, asada tacos had just steak? Where is the onion, cilantro, salsa?

Ruth McRoy

great food and service!

Elizabeth Marie

One of my favorite Mexican spots in Cincy. Always delicious, and fantastic service. Chips are only so-so, which is only reason this got 4 instead of 5 stars.

Courtney Spanagel

The food overall is good. They have smaller portions and don't give you rice or condiment sides with your entree. The salsa is really good, it has a kick of heat to it. They didn't have music on, and the inside is casual and modern. Price is okay, but you can get a more filling dinner or lunch elsewhere. I would recommend for someone who is wanting a light lunch or dinner.

Deborah Paris

Stopped by and had the nachos.

Erick Meza

I feel very proud about this place all my friends from college always want to go eat there the second we get back home, it's our go to. Food is great and you just get that "local feel" as clients and staff are always interacting with each other. I've been working there durning breaks from college and it's very pleasing to see a locally owned family business serve the community and it's people through its services and employment as well !

Barbara Eisenhardt

Staff are like family. They've had the same staff since they opened. Food is fresh and taste. Margaritas are the best!! Get the skinny margaritas for nothing but fresh squeezed juice and tequila. Yummy!!

Vicki Murphy

Always great food, service and drinks! Have been coming here 7 years!

Rita Sommer-neves

Great food and great service

Jessica Fangman

Amazing food!!

keith moreland

We love this place! Best Mexican food around and the service is always on point!!

Michael Kieffer

Great food and value

Eric Roush

Carnitas... amazing. Pork shoulder cooked long and slow with fantastic seasoned, caramelized onions. Best fish tacos in the Tri-State. Grilled, flavorful fish, not just fish sticks in a tortilla. Killer queso dip, too. Fast, friendly service. Quality all around.

Gary Wagner

Good food and service
