El Caporal Prosser

Our place to eat when we are bumming around Prosser. Food is delicious and the restaurant is nice. It’s right on the corner too so it’s easy to get to. Not really a lot else to say about it. It’s worth the stop if you’re in the area.

Food and service was amazing!!! Definitely will be visiting this place again for the carne asada, beans, and rice.

This place is a find. Good Mexican food, great selection, cold Negra Modela, and friendly servers. We’d head back anytime we’re in Prosser.

It’s ok. Average tasting food, good service, a little on the pricier side.
Considering you don’t get to many options in prosser that are in a walking distance, is at good as it gets.

real nice meal, quick service and great prices. traveling thru town on a trip around Washington and stopped for a quick meal. Really a nice little place for lunch. My wife loved her salad with all the fresh ingredients and the meat and cheese and other toppings were a plenty. I would come back if we were in town again.

We have dinner here almost every week — these folks are like family now. And, we’re starting to see other regulars there as well, some are neighbors.
Good food and service — we love going there.

Had a great meal here, shared the fajitas. These were good but extremely oily. The salsa and pico de gallo were good but the guacamole was awesome! Overall decent place to eat but I might try another place next time.

The staff are magnificent. They remember us whenever we come in and even what my girlfriend’s «usual» is == the ceviche (oh crap – El Caporal makes some outstanding shrimp ceviche!!).
And then there are the drinks. Of course we’ve gone with Mexican beers (tonight, the Bohemian bottled beer was tasty in my frosted mug). But then there is their tequila. We went with Don Julio Silver and wow, they make truly full pours, and supply you with many slices of lime, although you can get along with one slice, because it’s oh so smooth.
This place is always open, too.
So yeah, Prosser is slowly beginning to explode on the culinary scene with all the wine tourism they are surrounded by, and with old standards like El Caporal, be sure to always make a pitstop in Prosser!

Based on the reviews we read before coming in, I had high hopes for great tasting food and an overall pleasant experience.
We were seated pretty quickly, fresh corn chips and a delicious salsa were brought out really quickly, and then we waited.
And waited.
And waited — for someone to come and take our drink order.
After we decided what we wanted, from drinks to appetizers to entrees, and we’d both used the restroom, we still had time to polish off the chips and salsa. We were only 1 of 5 tables that had two waiters and a busser.
When our server approached us he simply asked, «are you ready?» and we ordered everything right away.
Our drinks and food came out really, really quickly– one frozen and one Otr margarita, ceviche, and a fajita combo of shrimp and chicken. The ceviche was a little chewy and oily, but the fajita combo was really tasty, and I was really considering buying a jar of salsa to bring home.
Unfortunately the bar staff was in the middle of a cleaning project that included the use of a vacuum that was so screechy, that we couldn’t have a conversation. It went on and on for the entire length of our dinner, and it left me with a ringing in my ears that took quite a while to subside.
At one point I asked our server if he could ask them to stop and he said «they’re not done yet, sorry.» I have to admit, I was shocked by this. It was the middle of the dinner rush and they were cleaning upholstery NOW?
Needless to say, we ate as quickly as possible and got out of there.
I decided against buying their salsa after having my ears blown up for an hour.
