We were here on Sunday, June 1, and our server was Victoria, and she was great! My husband and I are not Hispanic and don't like hot spicy Mexican food. The food we had was great. Everything was either mild or we had mild choices. I had the garlic shrimp and he had the pineapple half stuffed with shrimp. Both were well prepared and nicely presented. Our meals came with rice, lettuce salad, french fries, garlic bread, preceded by chips and salsa and a fish dip mixture. The Horchata was great! Prices are not cheap, but we felt we had gotten a good value. We will return! read more

horrible customer service, place is dirty. would not recommend 0/10, hostess is rude and if they get your food wrong they blame you.

Came for Mother's Day and were seated with Angie. We enjoyed her recommendations and appreciated her help with a couple of food mods. We were greeted with a couple of salsas and a seafood dip. I got the Pulpo al Ajo (it came with fries, rice, and lettuce and tomato on the side. My parents both got the Vuelve a la Vida cocktail, my dad asked for no imitation crab. They came with saltines and we asked for extra limes. There was a live singer, and she was great as well! She's apparently here Friday and Sunday nights. She kept things lively! Overall a great experience, we'll come back! read more

El Capitan - Bar area - Seafood Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

This restaurant opened recently and did a fantastic job of remodeling the old Pizza Hut. The food is primarily seafood but there are other options. With the chips and salsa comes some ceviche and a spicy green sauce--both amazing. My husband and I had shrimp dishes that were done well. We were there celebrating a birthday and the servers really went above and beyond to make it special. Great experience all around. read more

El Capitan - non alcoholic piña colada - Seafood Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

First time here and we had a party of 13 on a Sunday evening. We made reservations and good thing we did because it was pretty busy. So I recommend reservations for larger parties. The service was excellent and the food was very good. I didn't realize that Sundays are live Mariachi night so it was pretty loud for a little while but after they were done the noise level dropped and it was back to normal. Our server Jesus was extremely nice and was constantly checking on us. All our orders were correct and he was great to talk to. Just an FYI their meal portions are very large. They serve everything from Seafood, Pasta, Tacos, Steak and Burgers. Their Tacos are very big. Double compared to other places. They also have a bar. It started to get very busy after 7pm so the noise level when up quite a bite. We will definitely come again to try their other menu items. Their prices are fair and the service is great. read more

The restaurants decor and space is very welcoming. The menu had a lot of options and child friendly Our server Angie was very attentive. We had the shrimp cocktail, empanadas, shrimp piña and the fish soup. Everything tasted great (some items were a pinch salty) and to top it off on Sundays they have a mariachi that was excellent. We definitely plan to return. read more

We liked everything about this place except the noise level - a busy restaurant with no soft surfaces will be noisy. I had shrimp empanadas and tacos birria and both could have been a meal on their own. The other person had a seafood burrito which they enjoyed. Service was friendly and prompt as well. Well definitely be back! read more

Enjoyed the mellow scene and had a fantastic Pina Colada and Guacamole was great, will be back to try dinner and fajitas read more

El Capitan - a plate of food on a table - Seafood Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

Good! Bit of a drive, but that's ok. This place was good. Place has their own parking. We went in, we're seated right away staff was friendly and quick with service. Ordered some fish and an horchata. Like most seafood joints they give you big plate of fish, rice, salad, garlic bread, and fries. So it was very filling and the price was reasonable. They have my beer, which is extremely good! Place was spacious and clean. They have tvs showing the games. Tip was included for our table because we have 5 or more people, which is fine, then I don't have to figure it out. I would definitely come back. read more

This place deserves a 0!! I have been there twice and had horrible customer service both times. Once they refused to serve us because they were closing in a hour and a half, plenty of time for us to eat. The second time we went to celebrate a friends bday. They were so rude and unprofessional!! They told us to move our car because they had called a tow truck. When I went out i was told I'd have to pay another $10 cover fee even tho I had already paid and was wearing a wristband. We patiently waited for our food for almost an hour and then the waitress served our food with the worst attitude. Never came back to refill our drinks or ask if we needed anything else. Dont Not waste your time! HORRIBLE place!! read more

Definitely recommend! Food was very delicious and flavorful. Costumer service was amazing as well! Our server and other servers were constantly checking up on us which we loved. Also place was very clean! read more

Coral sushi was really good. I was not a fan of the mango habanero shrimp, too sweet.

The garlic bread that came with my pasta was AMAZING. That was not something I expected but was pleasantly surprised. The food was great overall. read more

the food was good. i enjoyed that very much. however, the service was awful! we asked for water...2 or 3 times until i waved down the waitress. for another drink i walked to the cash register and requested one. the cerviche that came w the chips...we requested refills twice. she never came around. lots of waving and asking the waitress next to our table. dessert??? that was waving also. she never brought us our bill, we had to find her at the cash register and in between checking us out, she left t o seat someone. why did i not leave a tip? when the bill came, the manhattan i had ordered and explained how to make WAS $25!!! i had 2 and a mojito w/o licquor. the licquor was $75!!! will never go back and have told more than yelp about this experience read more

The food and service were excellent. The music was too loud. as we couldn't hear each other across the table. Probably won't go back, because it was so loud making it uncomfortable and less enjoyable. read more

if i could give 0 stars i would! wanted to celebrate a friends birthday on a Saturday night and decided to give this place a shot, worst mistake ever!! i was asked to pay a $10 cover charge repeatedly even though i paid $10 already and was wearing a wristband. i was then asked to move my car to a different parking spot because a tow truck was called, when walking out of the building to move my car i was told i need to pay another $10 to walk back in the building. when i returned to my table i ordered my food and did not receive it until 30 min later even though it was just a shrimp cocktail. when i received my food it was served with a horrible attitude. in addition to all of this horrible service there was also no womens bathroom available at the time that i was there. Overall this experience was BEYOND disappointing and i will never be returning or recommend this place to anyone . read more
