This joint is the epitome of guilty pleasure/gluttony/comfort food. I have loved The Cap'n since I was a boy. And still do.
Is this "authentic" Mexican cuisine? No. And without apology. It is what it is; and that is delicious.
No trip of mine to Cleveland is complete with a tussle with a 1/2 pound Burrito Elite at Cap'n Taco. The Midwest never married old Meh-he-co better then The Cap'n, so do yourself a favor and brave the parking lot. It is worth the rigor, and part of the charm.
You can trust a gringo like me!
