Located on the corner of 27th Street near the Hwy 20 intersection, El Caporal is a newly built, colorful building, meticulously designed by owner and architect, Luz Delia Anaya.
Luz and her husband, Carlos, have owned the family-operated restaurant for nearly 22 years, since its premiere in the Twin Knolls Retail Center in 1997.
“The owner wanted too much for it, but as an architect, I said, ‘Well, let’s make him an offer and see what happens,’ and he accepted.”
Anaya had visions of a space with large rooms for a bar, dining area, and better-functioning kitchen, which is now a reality.
