    Tryed it for the first time last night and every thing was excellent! The menu is extensive and the selections are varied so finding something to like is easy. I had enchiladas and the flavour was out of this world!! A friend got the Cóctel de camarones and said they are the best he's had in Midland. El Capitán is definitely at the top of our list for Mexican food in Midland.

    It feels like Tampico is back. I’ve been two times in the last week and it’s been delicious both times, I’m so thankful that I live so close. lol I think it’s the best Mexican food in town.

    Every time I go eat, they welcome me and are very good people. They always make sure we’re doing good and the food is delicious. Real Mexican food. A nice restaurant and very generous service

    Surprisingly excellent. 49 states, 31 countries - El Capitan served me the best chicken enchiladas I have ever had. I was actually stunned. Salsa is fresh. Burria tacos are 10/10. Tamales are the best I’ve had in Midland and I HAVE HAD THEM ALL, and been mostly disappointed. I’m looking at you Garelly’s and Reyna’s. Had a sparky server that brought laughs to our table. My wife thought they might have live music, and if the guy drunkenly singing along in the bar counts - they had live music? Absolute, unexpected gem.
