El Capataz Food Review 🌮🍹
I stopped by El Capataz and decided to try the Peruvian Roasted Chicken with fries and white beans, along with a margarita. Here’s the breakdown:
• Fries 🍟: Totally disappointing—soft, lacking crispiness, and unremarkable.
• Chicken 🍗: Just okay. Definitely not what I’d expect from Peruvian roasted chicken—missing that signature spice and depth of flavor.
• White Beans 🫘: Standard, nothing special. They were cooked fine, but they didn’t stand out.
• Margarita 🍹: Absolutely fantastic! The perfect balance of tart and sweet with just the right kick.
• Service : Excellent! The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience much better.
Overall, while the food was hit-or-miss, the great service and killer margarita made up for it. Would I come back? Maybe—for drinks, but not for the fries. ⭐⭐⭐/5.
Love the food. This is actually one of the nicest restaurant in Laredo. Aside from the scrumptious food, excellent service and chill ambiance, the price is very reasonable and worth it. Must try and a good place to take your friends and family for a semiFormal meal. We ordered the burger and the appetizer with 2 sodas and paid $40++.
My husband and I went back to this place. I just added new pictures on what we ordered. Fish tacos were okay, not my favorite. But it wasn’t bad. Then we ordered the Peruvian chicken, that was delicious and came with fries. And for the appetizer, we ordered the one with the goat cheese. That was my favorite!! A must try! We paid $73 including 2 drinks and a small side of fries.
Favorite dinner spot in Laredo. I'm halfway through the menu and everything l've had has been on point! The gentleman behind the bar not only knows his drinks but can easily advise someone who is unsure of their appetite. I hold a pretty high bar when it comes to dining out, and it’s not very often that I find a place like this that meets and exceeds my standards. Whoever is running this place knows exactly what they're doing and it's much appreciated. The ambiance gives you a fancy dining experience while still feeling like a relaxed social environment. The entire staff is impeccable. I can't wait for my next dish as I venture through the menu. Thanks again!
This is a must visit restaurant. They have a really good beer and drink selection, tasty appetizers and a good variety of entre's. The food tasted really fresh, and the service provided was great. The ambiance of the restaurant made everything even better.
From the time we walked in the door to the time we departed atmosphere was perfect.
Food was WELL above expectations and the creative dishes were on point.
Great service from each of our servers and will go back even tho the drive is one hour away
Thanks El Capataz
