What to order
Los Caporales is the Nizuc section's Mexican à la carte restaurant — traditional dishes, generous portions, and one of the more reliably satisfying dinners for guests who want comfort food over culinary adventure. Open for dinner only. No strict dress code pressure compared to The Grand restaurants. The enchiladas and quesadillas draw the most consistent praise, and the churros with dulce de leche ice cream close the meal well.
- EnchiladasThe signature main — guests call these out across review sites as the most reliably well-made dish at Los Caporales; order red mole if available.
- QuesadillasCrispy, filled generously with cheese and protein; a strong appetizer or lighter main depending on how hungry you arrive.
- Tacos al PastorPork with achiote and pineapple in corn tortillas — the most traditionally Mexican preparation on the menu.
- Churros with Dulce de Leche Ice CreamThe dessert guests most consistently mention — fresh churros with caramel sauce and ice cream; the right way to close dinner here.
