El Caporal Restaurant — Restaurant in Texas

TERRIBLE experience. We went for lunch today and first we asked if they had fideo because on the menu it showed as a side. The waitress went to ask the cook if there was any today and the cook said no because she didn't feel like making any. Since it's Tuesday and the special was 4 ENCHILADAS Mexicanas with queso fresco as can be seen on the menu they have posted online, that was what we ordered. They literally brought red tortilla straight out of the package it seemed like and put shredded white cheese inside and on top. We have never seen enchiladas with no sauce, the cheese wasn't even remotely melted like the tortilla wasn't hot and the waitress Brought out hot salsa that was used for the chips and salsa to try to make it better and it was just terrible. We tried explaining to them that the wording they have on the special is misleading as we expected enchiladas and got red tortilla with cheese. One of the other waitresses came and agreed that what was on our plate was not enchiladas. Then another person in our party had the tacos dorados which come with either 3 or 5 and since I didn't specify I wanted 5 they brought out 3 so I asked for the other two as the person with enchiladas was not going to eat their plate so she could have some tacos and the 2 were of desebrada instead of carne picada as originally ordered. We didn't say anything because we weren't getting anywhere with the enchilada situation so we decided to just mention it when checking out for their information and the waitress said "well y'all didn't say anything about it at that time". While we were there we noticed a different waitress waiting on another table and literally talking to them with her mouth full. I understand being hungry or eating while working but walking up to your table with YOUR mouth full is entirely unprofessional. Aside from the "it is what it is" attitude they had. It was just a terrible experience, we will not...

My S/O and I went in for lunch and saw they had lunch specials so we have them a try, the waitress was not helpful whatsoever. She gave us a look and did not even greet us. They usually give chips and salsa but for some reason the waitress decides we weren't worthy of getting chips. I saw their menu and the lunch specials regular prices were a little pricy so I thought to myself we were getting a good deal on the plates. When we ordered the waitress seemed like we were wasting her time, I asked for a sweet tea and she brought me a water. I asked if they had sweet tea after words and she replied with "Umm yes" and I asked her again for one. I never got the drink. When she brought our plates she barged in and threw our plates at our table and left. I honestly do not know what her problem was. The food was good I'm not gonna lie. When we paid they ended up charging us the regular price for the Lunch. I got no receipt and she had the nerve to ask what was wrong with an annoyed face. My S/O didn't want to make a deal so we left. No "Thank you for coming" or anything. Like I said the food was good but the service is what killed it. I'm never going back to The Caporal. I recommend your take your food to go but be weary they charge extra for...

The breakfast here was very good, I didn't order the Huevos Rancheros like I normally do but I ordered the closest dish to that, The Huevos Divorciados, I ordered the Deluxe version of it and changed the 2 salsas to be the same and for $8.99 you get 2 eggs, 2 fried corn tortillas, ham, chilaquiles, refried beans and potatoes.

The eggs were perfectly cooked over medium, the salsa for the eggs was okay it was mostly cooked veggies with not much salsa texture (to solid almost no juice), the fried corn tortillas were very tasty, the ham was okay, the refried beans were amazingly full of flavor (probably a lot of Lard), the potatoes were very bland slightly soggy, the chilaquiles very vary simple not much flavor just a lot of cheese.

The flour and corn tortillas were both really good, they serve you chips and salsa while you wait and the salsas they give you are both tasty.

Overall I would definitely recommend the breakfast here, the place has a traditional look that is...
