El Caporal Mexican Restaurant Richmond

So pleased to see Enchiladas Poblano on the menu. Loved this in Mexico and local favorite, El Caporal, did not disappoint. As for the typical Fried Ice Cream dessert,it was not typical,.in fact it was a glorious original version

This was my bestie and my spot 8+ years ago and I on a whim remembered it. My boyfriend and I ate there tonight. It was served fast and hot. The waitress check on us several times to make sure we ordered and received everything before the kitchen closed at 9:45pm. I do not normally enjoy the white sauce at any restaurant in Virginia. Although I am proud that it's a Virginia thing, so I at least try it. I loved the white sauce there! I believe I fell in love with white sauce that long ago Every white sauce I have had since then has been a disappointment and caused me to not like it. But I'm back home and I promise you that this is the best white sauce in Richmond!

⭐☆☆☆☆ – Disappointing Service and Cold Food My wife and I have eaten at El Corporal near Regency Mall many times in the past, but this visit was bad enough that we won’t be returning. We were seated and immediately ordered two medium margaritas. After that, our waiter disappeared. A couple seated next to us after we arrived had their full drink and food order taken — and delivered — before ours was even completed. My fajitas rancheras came out by themselves, missing half of my order and my wife’s shrimp chimichanga entirely. The fajitas barely sizzled for about a minute, were mostly green peppers and vegetables with very little meat, and the cheese on top wasn’t even melted. By the time the rest of our food arrived 10–15 minutes later, my meal was completely cold. During all of this, t

This is a hidden gem, everything was so good! The service was really nice and we got free refills on the salsa and chips. The prices were very affordable for HUGE portions.

I'm just here to add another 5 stars! Hands down probably the best Mexican I've had, either this or Chociloco in Scott's Addition. I got the Burrito Macho Esteban and it's spicy! Full of flavor and I will go back. The prices aren't bad to begin with but the huge portion size I got made it even better! I was referred here by three friends and today was the day. You'll never see the restaurant from the road and probably pass by it a million times and not notice. I feel bad for them, if they were in a more visible spot they would probably be slammed with business all the time. However, don't let this detour you, the restaurant itself is not difficult to access. I will be back!!
