El Capitan Seafood & Mexican Grill

If I could give this place no stars I would. The service is horrible, the place is so loud that the waitresses have a hard time hearing your order. I yelled so loud that my stomach started to actually hurt. We reserved a table for a party days in advance…we asked to be seated outside. Mind you, the temp is up there during this time of the year but we noticed they had huge umbrellas for shade. No one told us in advance that the umbrellas were broken and could not be opened for shade. We had no choice but to sit inside.
Once we were seated, the issues continued. Can’t tell you how the food was because I had lost my appetite and asked for a box to go. They lost our service 100%. I do not recommend.

Came here on a Saturday night around 10pm, we were seated pretty quickly. They had what seems to be a whole drum line playing, the music was obnoxiously loud to the point that I was getting a headache, & could not hear the conversations going on at the table. We waited and waited about over 20 mins and no one ever attended to us. As a previous server I know exactly how sections work and upon us being seated they had to detached our table from another group so they knew we were sat. Drinks should be served within 2-3 mins after being sat, we didn’t get chips and salsa until about 8 mins in and they quickly left not giving us the chance to place any orders. After begging my friend to leave we finally walked out. Would not go back after that experience. We even kept waiting for a server to get close to us and it felt like they would purposely not come near us

Good food and good service. The only issue is the music is very loud. If you plan on having a conversation don’t come on a Friday night!! We had to write our order on our phone and show it to the waitress.

Experience was amazing!! First time here and won’t be the last. I was going for my sister’s birthday party.

This place has a very large menu but the food was well seasoned, fresh and generous. The drinks are refreshing and it’s pretty loud in there with banda and full restaurant. Bianca, my waitress was very patient and helping to choose what we were going to get, she always checked up on us and made sure we were always good!

We'll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend for anyone looking for good seafood and a welcoming environment.

Wanted to order a sea food pasta around 12:30am, but they were out of sea food lol. Had to settle for chicken and they charged me the same. Drinks were really good…

They have a great variety of drinks
Food was delicious 😋

Look..... I have an old soul, so don't come at me 😅. But this place was OVER-THE-TOP-LOUD at 6:30 on a Friday night. So loud that our table had to communicate via texts at the table for the majority of our dinner.

Our waitress was new, and between the volume of the live band and our language barrier, we did not get the best service. It was rough and we had a native Spanish-speaker in our party.

The food and drinks we ordered were good (mangonada margarita, a few beers, queso, fajitas, etc).
Would we come back? Yes, but for lunch.

Edit: our waitress was asked to split the bill in half and we gave her two cards (one for each couple instead of trying to get things split by what we actually ordered). We paid and went about our business. This morning, while reviewing our card statement, noticed we had 2 charges from the restaurant. SHE SWIPED OUR CARD TWICE and didn't swipe our friend's card at all. We got our receipts and our respective cards back without issue, so this was quite the surprise.

We came on Sunday, if you like extremely loud, live music with drums, all types of trumpets 🎺 😀, AND singing. THEN THIS IS FOR YOU!!! I could not here myself even think, had to take food to go, we had previously been here but we sat outside, it was just tooo HOT today. GREAT PLACE but not for me. On a side note, they had DELICIOUS FRESH PINEAPPLE 🍍 DRINK. Sooo Good!!

Stopped in for lunch with a group of 26. They have plenty of room and put several table together so we could all sit together. Service was a little slow as they basically had one waitress handle the whole table with not much help. Probably should have assigned 3-4 people to help cover a party this large.

That being said, staff was friendly and helpful. Drinks took awhile to arrive. Food orders took a long time to get placed and the food came out a wildly different times for different people in the group. My food was very good though. Definitely hot and fresh. One minor issue, I ordered chicken fajita chimichanga and got beef and I also ordered double beans and no rice and got rice and beans. It had taken long enough for the food to arrive that I didn't bother mentioning it and just ate what they brought me. Again, the food was quite good. Didn't have any issue finishing my plate. Friend's daughter ordered sushi and she enjoyed it.

Refills were a little slow (again just one last trying to handle our very large party).

All in all I'll probably try them again with a smaller group and see how things go. Definitely good and worth a visit.
