El Caporal Restaurant

The exterior of this establishment provides a false representation of the nicely designed interior, but you are immediately greeted with loud music to where the waitress either cannot hear what you order or there's a possible language barrier which resulted in my food being sent back three times because each time was wrong. I ordered the chicken nachoes but received steak and they rectified it the second time but adding chicken on top of the steak nachoes when I only wanted chicken nachoes (dietary restrictions) forcing them to remake it again. When it comes to their menu, you'll find dishes you won't see in your typical Mexican restaurants but they come with higher pricing between 18-30 dollars a dish.

I am super impressed with the pricing on this menu. So affordable. Reminds me of 10 years ago. And the food quality was very high and very tasty. I highly recommend eating here or simply ordering for takeout. They were timely and respectful.

The place is nice, but the food has no flavor. The fish tasted awful; they clearly had no idea how to prepare it. The Texas fajitas were bland, and the shrimp was tough. We left the food because the waitress took forever to arrive, making us wait a long time. I left with a stomach ache and feeling nauseous.

Mexican restaurant. Meals offered range from large dinner plates 🍽️🥩, to inexpensive a la carte tacos and sopes 🌮. Alcohol is served here, with a restaurant-bar 🍺🍻. I've only eaten here once: * My sope supreme was extremely good; the chorizo was cooked differently than I'm used to - I'm guessing flame broiled, maybe? * I ordered yuca frita more out of theoretical curiosity regarding cassava/yuca; it was served just one step firmer than pudding, green, chilled, and artistically cut - I liked the sope much more, to be honest. * Complimentary chips and salsa were served at the table. My waitress was busy doubling as a bartender, but was polite; didn't ignore me, despite her workload; and spoke fluent English. I was never close enough to hear, but I'm sure she must have spoken fluent Spanish to most other patrons. My visit was on a Friday karaoke night 🎤🎶. Festive, informal, loud. Nicely furnished. Lots of television screens. Restrooms in the back 🚻.

Our food was delicious and service was excellent. The guacamole was very fresh and very tasty. Huge portions. Lots of options for my kids, including breakfast. I cannot express how huge, and delicious, the pictured tlayupa(?) was.

I went tonight for the first time ever and it was great. 1. Walked in and Mireya great us with great energy and personality. 2. Mireya made our first time experience great with being very detailed about the food and drinks. 3. She went out her way to make the entire night good with checking in on us. 4. Mireya is great and deserves a 10/10 5. The food was really good and authentic and you can definitely taste the love that was put into the food. 6. The live karaoke was great, even though I do not speak Spanish. 7. The entire night was great and I highly recommend for many other people to go and try it out for them selves. 8. We had tacos Dorados. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love the food here. The service was good. The atmosphere would be like this, the place is nice inside. The music is loud and the last waitress I had literally asked me 8x what I wanted to drink. At a certain point they do karaoke and the music gets loud. I realize this is like Mexican tradition. I just don't understand how having to shout to the people you are with is appealing. So, I just go earlier.

Food was delicious! Can't wait to go back!

This place is the definition of a hidden gem. I discovered it on my way from IMS back to downtown-- it is in a strip mall that looks rundown and kinda dead- it is not a big restaurant, but it had this at-home cozy vibe inside. I had the 3-taco special (carnitas) to go. They said 10 minutes but I think I I it waited for 5 minutes. These tacos were overstuffed with meat. I've never seen such generous amount of meat in tacos! It was really juicy and tasty. I loved that it came with sautéed onion and a pepper. Great value. I loved it so much. Definitely one of the best places in indy for tacos.

This place recommend if you're looking for some good Mexican food in Indy, not just that I know the people and they're super nice, and are on it!! The food here is to die for! Love that they have a variety of aguas frescas! Last thing, both their green and red salsa are great!

Buen restaurante, vale la pena ir. Satisfacieron mis antojos, pero tienen mucho más que lo que he mostrado. El servicio es gentil, están recomendado.

I don't know what Joshua is talking about. My wife and I eat here every other weekend and they never disappoint. It's the only place in Indianapolis with authentic Mexican food. It's always on point.

The food is trash and they only have 1 worker the service is slow and they take long to take the food out if i could give it Zero stars I would
