El Caporal II

Chicken enchiladas for the win! My daughter and I both have celiac and did not get glutened. Don’t eat the chips or salsa. They’re not gluten free.

Keeping it simple as previous long time customer review suggests ,corn tortillas & carne asada. I do think the majority of the menu is pretty safe, but for Celiac as I am I kept it simple. I did try a few corn chips before finding out that they have what sounded to be a shared frier ( frier may also be used for flour tortillas) . I’ll update if 3 fried chips cause an issue or not… Update! I didn’t have any issues from a few chips, very tasty excellent meal. I’d still suggest avoiding the frier if your very sensitive. Stick to basics that you’d order at any traditional Mexican restaurant. Explain your Gluten allergy politely, and that you’ll get very sick. For me , I asked for no spices on my carne asada, just salt and pepper…I think it was the normal way, but my server made sure. :) excellent big meal. No issues !

I absolutely LOVE El Cap!! I get their chicken enchiladas all the time and have never had a problem. They said they do not use flour in their enchilada sauce.

Other Characteristics

• Good for lunch
• Good for takeout

I think the food is pretty tasty! I usually get a meal with tacos or tostadas and have never had a reaction. I haven't tried the enchiladas because I asked once if they used flour in the sauce and they said yes :(

We have eaten here repeatedly for over 15 years and have never had issues as long as we make menu selections that are simple (enchiladas, fajitas with corn tortillas, etc.). The staff isn't necessarily knowledgable about gluten, but with smart selection of menu items we've never encountered a problem.

Don't go here, no matter how long you have been driving.
