El Caporal Mexican Restaurant in Altadena

Delicious food!!! Lovely place gives you Mexican vibes.

This site is my number one restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I prefere it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this place. Whenever I feel like having a fair meal, this place comes right away to my mind. extremely good and all kinds of food and a rich menu.professional team, and great vibes. Also important, the price is decent. I sent my friends to this restaurant with great pleasure.

Burrito was pretty good. The staff seemed to be on a meeting there or something. I think I would order again because of the food but not for the staff.

I very much liked their food and service, awesome area close to my apartment. The workers are always very nice. Will come visit again.

Burriots de asada are great

Great service and food was delicious

Food is tasty. At a reasonable price

In love with this little slice of heaven.onenofMy favourite Mexican spots in LA. Phenomenal service, I’ve never had a disappointing meal... consistently excellen, good prices. Highly recommend.

1sm orange juice, 1cooki. 1 mix tostada. Total $27.08.

Another one of Altadena hidden gems. The food is amazing. From the made fresh guacamole to the seasonal mole dishes. But truth is the service is probably the best I have encountered in some time. The restaurant is clean. Shows that everyone from those in the kitchen, to behind the bar, to those cleaning and serving to the management team cares.

We got food poisoning after eating the molcajete plate. We didn't know the restaurant had a major food violation on their last inspection.

This is a decent, but not outstanding, little Mexican place that doesn't get as much business as it looks like it needs to survive. I agree with many other reviewers tht the place is clean, and the staff is always friendly. But the prices are on the high side and the food quality depends significantly on what you order. The tortilla chips were fried a bit too long for my tastes, and I never found a salsa that I liked. Both my wife and son got asada burritos and really liked them. I got a combination platter with a taco and an enchilada. The chicken taco was okay, but the shredded beef enchilada was delicious - especially with the rice and beans. I would get that again.

Quick service and amazing foods

My wife and mother in law. Who are O.G. Mexican.Found that this place out of ALL Los Angeles..Is truly number 1On there homemade Chicken MoleAnd the MenudoI have to sayIs THEE BEST IVE EVER TASTED!NOT GREASY AT ALLBUTTHERE WAS A CERTAIN TASTE THAT I COULD NOT IDENTIFY..THE WAITRESS SAID THAT IT WAS A SECRET FROM HER MOTHER IN MEXICO..AND THE SALSAAWESOMEI BOUGHT SOME EXTRA TO TAKE HOME😀

Great place and great food . My daughter has lot of food allergies and it is really hard to eat out , but Neddy was very helpful and she know all the ingredients on the menu. Their Fajita is the 💣💣 and the salsa is the best since when I don't remember .It is just sad seeing some of the negative reviews on Here regarding the prices but they are not high at all and the prices are oon the menu so why these people complaining afterward ? Stop giving this great family owned local join a bad REP that they don't deserve . I would 110% recommendrecommended .

Good food good customer service first time coming here highly recommend this place

I love their wet burrito

Food and service are both great here

Enjoyed my wet burrito of birria

Exceptional and tasty food, I like the atmosphere the place has, and the staff members were friendly. Will surely come back again.

Small casual place serving traditional Mexican food.What elevates So Caporal above the standard "rice and beans" place 8s the care the cooks put into the preparation of the food and the warm service provided by the serving staff.Last night I had Chivo ( goat) served with a delicious broth. I had never had this preparation before ( the 2 other times I have had chivo it had been roasted in a pit) so I got to try something new to me and I was glad I did! It was delicious!I do wish the owner would invest in better lighting and signage for the exterior as it is rather hidden and hard to spot from the street.

We came to this spot for a meeting. my friend recommended this place. Well, we were not disappointed. The crew were extremely nice and we had a great feeling. The meal was fresh and delicious. We had a great time and we will definitely return to this restaurant. Keep it up.

Love it mexican food

Great food great service I love their street tacos

Love the service they are friendly and treat u like family. Food is great and reasonably priced

Good food and value. Great service ND friendly staff.

Called and placed a phone order. 20 minutes later after I arrive, I finish paying and then they barely start making it. I was in a rush and had somewhere to be . That's why I called. What was the point in calling ..... The whole time the lady watched the cook cook , until she saw me she then went to go drop down my fries. Don't waste your time here. Place used to be good. now it's not when even worth the price. Lost my appetite.

This is the most delicious place ever! It's family owned, and has an amazing staff. I feel at home there. Awesome breakfast, lunch and dinner too! Lot's of parking in the back. So happy i found this place....Linda
