Carniceria El-Caporal is a good little Mexican food store and a great meat shop. It is described as a hidden jewel and a one-stop shop for anyone who wants to eat and shop. The store offers all the Mexican products, including fruits, vegetables, aloe, guava leaves, beans, some dried herbs, hot peppers, and varieties of things that other local grocers don't have. It also has a meat market where the meat is fresh and the prices are really reasonable. Customers can look through the glass and pick out whatever they want. The business includes a little side restaurant inside where you can get some great, great Mexican food or Spanish food for a great price. The place can be busy and it is always packed at the cash register, requiring a wait. However, the staff is always courteous and willing to answer any questions. The folks are nice. Specifically, the guys at the butcher section are great and will go above and beyond to get the cuts you need, often accommodating special requests. It is a beautiful place to be, open for you to pick and shop, and you can't go wrong.
Love the meat market, we get pre-seasoned Fajitas - very convenient for large cookouts
