The rice with shrimp and veggies was disappointing, the rice itself was terrible. It was cold and wet, like about to spoil. The shrimp and veggies are okay. Soup is good. Tacos are good. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

Guys, it was "fine". You don't need to go out of your way to eat here. We ordered 2 of the seafood platters for 5 adults. There's plenty of food and no one left hungry. Everything just tasted of old oil though. This is not a good example of "fried seafood". The shrimp ceviche comes out warm. Not room temperature, but cooked. Eh, it was edible but I'd likely try somewhere else. Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

A must in Tulum if you like seafood. We had the seafood soup and the combo for 2 whichcame with ceviche included. We couldn't finish the food and it was very delicious. Totally recommend it. The service is perfect and the margaritas are really great Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $900–1,000 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Seafood Soup

We had lunch at this place a couple years ago, and I couldn’t wait to have their fish again. Sadly, it was a disappointment. The fish was overly fried, small and dry, not the way I remember it used to be. Very good guacamole though Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The captain has left the ship before everyone else and taken all the seasonings with him. We had the grilled fish filet with vegetables and chili and the Camerones and fish taco’s. The vegetables served with the fish were steamed without any seasonings. The chile was just baked in oil and then put on the fish, we expected the fish to be baked with fresh garlic and chile. Fish was okay but there were some burnt parts which tasted very bitter. The tacos were served with coal slaw in mayonnaise, which had not that much flavor. The pieces of fish and Camaron were fried but did not have that much flavor and were wet (seemed like they were kept warm under a plate).

Skip the “fancy-americanized-overpriced” restaurants in the area and come to El Capitan for authentic flavorful local food and atmosphere. We have been coming here since 2015 for their good food and service, they also have the best Mexican ceviche you can taste in the area.

I was dying to try a authentic Mexican food and it was a completely disappointment. The fish was greasy and everything tasteless. The pictures you see is how we left the plates. Couldn’t enjoy it. You can definitely see that it has no love in this kitchen/bar. The drinks terrible as well. I do not recommend. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

I was unsure of all the local tourist traps but this place was recommended by a local taco truck owner. They are known for their ceviche and it was huge, fresh and tasty. Special call out to their pescado which was Cobia and aquachile. The sauce was sour and spicy (in a good way). Special dishes were about 250mx each. Reasonable enough for all the protein that was ordered. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $200–300 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Fried Fish
