    Cuando en Puerto Nuevo El Capitán #1 es el lugar. Mi gente se los recomiendo. Ningún otro lugar tiene las langostas grandes como aquí. Gracias a dios el restauran se ah quedado en familia, y siguen con las mismas deliciosas recetas. Desde chiquito me traía mi apa, y ahorra yo de grande lo traigo a él. Ay que seguir complaciendo los gustos al Rey. Feliz día del Padre.

    The service here is GREAT! Me and my boyfriend were walking around trying to find a place to eat, and all the other restaurants were trying to get us in to eat to their spot but when we came across this one, the lady was nice and didn't pressure us at all. Which my boyfriend liked a lot so we decided to give it a try and WOW. We don't regret it. The food is amazing. Aguachiles and caldo de camarón was great, boyfriend really liked it. Especially since he loves spicy food. The server even gave us a speaker to bump music. Definitely recommend!

    Overall: good food, lots of it, friendly service but not aggressive, no mariachi (positive in our book) and good value for price. Note: menu had English but very little was spoken. Came into town around 7:30/8pm and a lot of places were closing up (not high season) but still lots of hassling going on (come here I give you good price, best lobster in town etc) They still had the open sign and a guy welcomed us in without hassling which we liked. They seemed to be eating themselves on the first floor but quickly got up to serve us. One other group at a table upstairs, we picked a table on the balcony a few down from them. Service: very friendly. Not pushy and they have items in the menu that are pretty cheap too also the lobster. Food: delicious and plentiful. Two types of salsa, one spicy like I like. Fresh and amazing tortillas. We both got the shrimp, garlic and diablo, fresh and cooked perfectly. Beans and rice to ensure you had enough to stuff yourself.

    First off the hospitality is amazing here. The waiters and waitresses are very kind and helpful. We ordered the pina coladas and they were amazing. They first brought out a tortilla soup that tasted home made. Also chips and salsa were brought out with the drinks and were delicious. I ordered the large lobster that came with rice, beans and tasty tortillas. My wife had the rojo aguachiles that was amazing and fresh. Everything at this restaurant is home made and tastefully seasoned. Will definitely be coming back for more on the next vacation!! Update: February 1, 2020. We always come here for the quality of food and hospitality. They treat us as family and the food is always delicious. We ordered the shrimp and octopus cocktail, lobster dinner and the green aguachiles. The margaritas are delicious, my personal favorite is the tamarindo margarita. I will always return here on my trips to Mexico.

    Visited Siete Mares on 3/22/25 after our original plan to eat at Ortega's fell through (they only…read moreaccept cash, and the nearest ATM had outrageous fees--over $50!). Luckily, Siete Mares was a solid backup option. The restaurant has three floors, each with a different vibe. The first floor is quiet and relaxed, the second floor is pretty hot with no open windows for fresh air, and the top floor has a norteño band that sounds amazing but is super loud--definitely not the best for conversation. My family chose to sit on the bottom floor, where we enjoyed a nice cool breeze and a great ocean view. There's a small outdoor balcony, but it's only big enough for small groups. I started with a strawberry margarita, which was just okay--not much flavor. Then I tried a michelada with Dos XX beer and a Tajín-rimmed glass, and it was delicious! Definitely the better choice. For food, we had the lobster, stuffed shrimp, breaded shrimp, carne asada quesadilla, and rice with beans. Everything was decent, but nothing really stood out as amazing. What really made the experience enjoyable was the great service! The staff was super attentive and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Overall, it was a good experience, especially with the ocean view. I'd come back to have a michelada and listen to the Norteño band.

    The service was excellent. They were very fast in taking our order and giving us our drinks and…read morefood. The food was delicious. I just got a dozen oysters and a bucket of beer. The oysters were so fresh. They catch them daily. The deck view is amazing. It's so relaxing hearing the waves crash. Mariachi players do come out and play for you, but you have to tip them per song. The restrooms are very tight.
