El Capitan Seafood and Grill

We really enjoyed El Capitan! It is a Guadalajara-based Mexican seafood restaurant. The salsa isn’t the traditional tomatoes paste sauce like everywhere else. The food was excellent (reminder: it’s not your typical “Mexican” restaurant. It’s a coastal based Mexican.) with its uniqueness! Our service was perfect. Yes, the menu has a lot of Spanish words on it, but our server was very helpful. We had the fish tacos and fajitas. The atmosphere and decor was delightful. We will most definitely visit again.

The majarras frita was exceptionally great. Fish was moist and the El Capitan sauce was just the right spice. The charo beans were a nice side. Enjoyable dining experience.

This is a good seafood restaurant. The is very clean and I loved the decorations. Very nice atmosphere and I loved all the natural light. So many restaurants are so dark you can hardly see. Our meal was tasty and everything was enjoyable. There are so many unique dishes I haven’t seen anywhere else. The reason for the 4 stars was our waitress that day didn’t speak English. We were trying to find out how spicy different dishes were and what ingredients were in certain dishes for allergies.

Different but really excellent food. Just walking in you can tell that your in for a treat. We had the Pasta Brava and it was simply delicious

Great place to eat. This is NOT Tex-Mex food. Was here on a Sunday night. Pretty busy. Most of their menu’s are in Spanish so you might have to ask for an English menu if needed. The fried fish was excellent as were the bacon wrapped shrimp.
