A real surprise find in a small town. Great Mexican seafood, music and drinks in a sport bar environment. Very clean and friendly.

Amazing service food was delicious give it 10/10
My tostada mixta was soo delicious. One on my favorite places to eat coming from Sacramento or Bay Area. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was quiet, we arrived after the lunch rush. It was a 9/10.

A soulful stop in Arbuckle—El Capi is more than just a mariscos spot.
We found this place by chance on the way through Arbuckle, and it turned out to be a gem. My mom was craving fried fish, so she ordered the mojarra frita, which came out perfectly crisp and flavorful. I got the fajitas mixtas (beef, chicken, and shrimp), which were generous enough to share, and my dad enjoyed a refreshing coctel de camarón.
But beyond the food, what really stood out were the stunning backlit acrylic artworks lining the walls. I spoke with our server and learned the owners are from Nayarit, and the images reflect that cultural pride—featuring traditional Wixárika (Huichol) attire, sacred symbols, and vibrant coastal scenes. The whole atmosphere feels like an homage to ancestral roots and spiritual connection.
We finished the meal with a lava cake and vanilla ice cream—warm, rich, and the perfect closing note to an already memorable experience.
It’s not just a restaurant—it’s a visual and sensory experience that honors Mexico’s coastal and Indigenous beauty. Definitely worth a stop if you’re anywhere nearby.
We will be back!

They advertised margaritas, but it was just wine, they gave us paper plates, definitely not the experience we were looking for.

My husband and I are always on the hunt for good mariscos places, and we had been seeing a sign off the freeway and we finally were able to go. It did not disappoint from the price to the presentation, cleanliness, and customer service. My husband had the Agua Chiles and I had ceviche tostadas. Definitely will be going back again. We both loved it.

Great restaurant. Ate a plate of seasoned shrimp and it was really good. The interior is really nice so I recommend bringing the family here.
