El Caporal is a friendly and authentic Mexican grocery and cafe. The staff is incredibly warm, kind, and welcoming, often ready with a cooking tip. The grocery offers a great selection, including high-quality produce and meat, an immense array of dried sundries, dried peppers, neat finds like honey, and special cuts of meat. The cafe serves awesome, delicious, and flavorful authentic Mexican food like tacos, burritos, and the best quesadilla. Customers highly recommend coming on an empty stomach. While a sign says cash only, cards are accepted with a small fee.
