Taqueria Caporales

Worst place ever called in for a cocktel when I went to pick it up not even saltine crackers or tostadas did we get I get home and my cocktel had like 8 shrimps and I paid $ 13.00 for it now that’s a ripe off

Cheap? Really? Fajitas and Enchiladas. $ 10.55 and $ 11.50. Ripped off b/​c we were gringos. Asked to see a menu. Told they don’t have one.

This a good spot when you’re looking for quick, but good quality, food. Not «mass produced,» and the effort is shown in both taste and presentation. I agree, as some others have mentioned, the place looks a bit aged, but you don’t come here for the pictures on the wall. It’s about the food…

This is my favorite place to get a burrito here in Oxnard. Al pastor ftw.

Went here today for a quick lunch and boy was it quick…
the restaurant it self needs a little updating its old looking a lot of junk everywhere. The service was average nothing bad nor nothing good, this is my second time here and both times have been good. There salsa variety is small but they all taste good. I do have to agree with a couple reviews below I hate how they have outdated pictures of the food menu. A nice big menu would be very helpful and also knowing what your going to pay for will help out, I hate having to ask how much is something looking like I’m broke or something.lol.
But anyways back to the food, first time I went I got the California Burrito it was pleasant nothing where I was super happy but it was still good enough to eat. I love there papas in Vinagre with jalapenos and carrots there pretty yummy, today I purchased 2 tacos de carne asada for 2.69 the tortilla was a lil soggy they had a good amount of meat, the meat did have a lot of grease but they were still edible. I don’t think you will go wrong here but I also don’t think you will become a great fan. I will eventually return since it is just down the street from my job.

I tried it since the reviews were favorable about this place. Sadly things weren’t as good or cheap as I’d thought. There is no menu, only pictures on the wall of food to choose from with no prices. I saw a review in here about $ 3 burritos and was excited to find a cheap and good spot. I ordered a carne asada burrito only and it ended up costing $ 5.50. That’s almost the same price as fancier local mexican restaurant take out.
The burrito was decent and chips were free, but also left out in the open without a sneeze guard or anything. I was looking forward to the real cheese a reviewer on here had mentioned before, but it apparently does not come standard on the $ 5.50 burrito and there is no way to tell from the picture on the wall.
The establishment is also kind of dirty in certain ways. For example, the tongs for the uncovered chips hangs on the heating lamp above them, which is grimy and dusty.
This place isn’t terrible, but the review on here about $ 3 burritos is not right. They are $ 5.50 now (2013), and for the quality are not very competitive in the burrito game in Hueneme/​Oxnard.

Muy bueno!

I’ve been craving authentic Mexican tacos and I finally found them! These are great! I’ll be ordering from here more often!

This place is LEGIT! The food is excellent, the fresh made Mexican drinks are fantastic, free chips and killer salsa bar… just can’t go wrong with any of it. My favorite: the 5 taco plate wi carne asada or el pastor. This is my go-​to spot for Mexican every time I’m in town.

I LOVE this place We pick up tacos to go all the time. I love the chicken or fish tacos. He likes the burritos. The fish tacos are AMAZING! I have had fish tacos all over Southern California, Hawaii & Mexico and I not found any that can compare to these. Not much on ambience, but well worth it!
Sometimes the juke box is blasting, but likely they will turn it off if you ask. Nice people.
Seriously, some of the best food I’ve ever had.

The burritos and tacos are killer. The bass plate was surprisingly delicious. I don’t know why but their rice tastes AMAZING.

The seafood is the best thing on the menu. The prices are super low. The other reviewer isn’t joking about the jukebox. Just remember not to sit too close to it.

The food here is pretty authentic. Although some others would prefer the overpriced, over-​hyped El Chilitos, they haven’t enjoyed real Mexican food, yet. The pescaos y mariscos reminds me of fare that you would find in Puerto Nuevo, or Ensenada, and some dishes like the grilled flattened pork steak resemble a Mayan inspired «poc chuc» and «cochinil pibig» like we enjoyed at Ek Balam during our visit to Chichen Itza and Ik Kil in the Yucatan peninsula. The food is relatively inexpensive here. A large burrito will cost you about $ 3 here when compared to El Chilito’s $ 7 – 8 burrito. Caporales uses real grated cheese, when compared to El Chilito’s «cheese flavored» canned liquid cheese. Now is real cheese too much to ask for these days? «Note cheese flavored» Although places like this use manteca in their beans, too much can lead to heartburn and a bile induced coma. Opt for the seafood dishes like fresh fish or the oysters and the fresh roasted pork carnitas. The jukebox can be frightening as it plays random «Banda Machos» hits at full volume. yaiii… yaiii…yaiii…hheeee…ollleee…
Cool place, good food, low prices, can’t go wrong.
