The food was amazing and the service provided by Judith was nothing but the best! The place was very chill overall!

We came here for lunch & we're seated immediately in a booth, the waitress was nice & knew the menu as I asked questions; I ordered 3 types of tacos: Taco El Gobernador - it was ok Taco de Pulpo a las brasas - not good Taco Sebastian - delicious! My husband ordered the Costillas de Res & he loved them! As we were finishing our food some musicians came in to sing, it would've been OK, but they literally came to the table next to us so it was a bit loud good thing we were almost done and we left. I forgot to mention as an appetizer we ordered the chili Caliente those were delicious. I would definitely order those again! read more

OMGOSH, exceeded our expectations. I wasn't hungry when we got there but I was nibbling off of my husband's plateS and next thing you know I've eaten the entire ceviche plate. There is a cervecie sauce that is a combination of( I'm guessing here) of balsamic and some kind of heat. It's to die for, the suttle heat after the sweetness is mind blowing. Our waiter David was all that you would expect from a 5 star restaurant. HAPPY HUMP DAY PEOPLE, run don't walk to Mariscos el capitan NOW read more

What a great place for some seafood. We came in towards the end of the night and glad we did! The servers and the atmosphere of the place was so friendly that I knew it was going to be a good time. Our group was so hungry and we ordered multiple orders of the cucarachas! It was amazing and couldn't stop eating them! It maybe a little messy but well worth it! The bacon wrapped jalapeños also hit the spot! Overall loved the place and the food! I heard on the weekends they have live music so even more of a reason to come! Recommend if you're in the area! read more

Best mariscos in the valley. The oyster shots are a must! David was amazing! Excellent food. Excellent service. Will be coming back!

Avoid this place at all costs! This place is an absolute disgrace to Mexican food. The "carne asada" tasted like it had been boiled in dishwater, the tortillas were stiff as cardboard, and the guacamole had the gray tint of something that's been sitting out for days. My "fresh" salsa was lukewarm and had the unmistakable tang of canned tomato puree. The service was just as bad--our server vanished for half an hour after taking our order, then returned smelling strongly of cigarettes and handed us the wrong food. When I pointed it out, I got an eye roll and a sigh. Even worse, I saw one of the kitchen staff handling food with bare hands right after wiping their nose. The floor was sticky, the bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned all week, and there was a suspicious sour odor drifting out of the kitchen. I left feeling sick to my stomach--literally--and spent the rest of the night regretting every bite. Avoid this place like the plague. You're better off eating gas station nachos! read more

Mariscos El Capitan - Aguachiles Rojo and Pancho roll. - Seafood Near Me - Coachella, California

Me and my wife came to La Quinta for a nice quiet day. She was craving seafood so she looked up on Yelp. She came across Mariscos El Capitan and liked the photos of the food. So we decided to give it a go. The food was great and the service was top notch. I got an order of oysters, a seafood molcajete, and sides of rice. Everything was delicious!!! We will definitely be back here again. read more

This place has good food. The staff is really friendly. My only down fall about this place is they let the client get to loud and don't respect the other client eating with family. I believe they should set a limit to being so rowdy read more

Sites for the first time. I ordered the garlic and butter shrimp. My dad got the camarones de Luna (I think with cheese?). Complementary chips and salsa. Salsa has a nice kick but not damaging. :-) Both of us finished our meal. Well, he had half and saved the rest. Plus he got a mango margarita that was drained. Server gave a thumbs up for his order of the toast. I got tortillas. Both fresh. That was Texas toast. Big slab of soft bread with butter and garlic. Good for dipping in my butter garlic sauce after my tortillas were done. Apparently they have bands a few days of the week too. Will try again next time in the area. read more

The best Mariscos in town hands down. Delicious sea food, chiles, sushi, drinks and especially their Langostinos. Every time we come to Indio we stop here before heading back to Los Angeles. You won't be disappointed. The entire staff is super friendly. Ask for David he is the best!!! Amazing service read more

Had lunch around 1pm with a friend while we did some errands. Gloria is a great server with great personality we had a few laughs. Cantaritos here are always 10/10! Salsa and chips 10/10. We decided to go with the Molcajete Ranchero, this includes steak, chicken, shrimp stuffed chiles wrapped in bacon (kind of a chile guaritos), nopal, more green peppers, green onion, chorizo, cheese stuffed peppers, all the peppers lol. But it was great, dont let the red sauce fool you it's mainly the chorizo that gives it that color and flavor. Its not crazy spicy either. Definitely coming back again soon! read more

One of the best places you can eat seafood in the Coachella Valley! From the staff to the ambiance

This was our first time visiting El Capitan, and Rafael made the experience unforgettable! From the moment we were seated, he was warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever feeling rushed. He took the time to recommend some of their most popular items, which turned out to be absolutely delicious; clearly he knows the menu inside and out. What really stood out was how genuine he was. Rafael not only made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal, but also encouraged us to come back and try more dishes in the future. It's rare to get service that feels both professional and personal, but Rafael nailed it. If you come to El Capitan, ask for Rafael, you won't be disappointed! We'll definitely be returning soon. read more

Love their cucarachas camarones, super delicious. Chavelas con modelo negra 10/10, super attentive service would definitely come again

Came for our anniversary! My husband comes here with his friends and he wanted to bring me. We were seaters right away the place was very authentic with beautiful Mexican music playing our Waitress Ivette was super attentive and caring. The food arrived super fast and it was so delicious! Really home made delicious, each sauce has it distinctive flavor, Ivette was super attentive and made sure we had everything. The cucaraxhas (shrimp) plate was my favorite. They have live music on Sunday's, but I hear is really loud (lol). Will be coming back for sure again and again. Date of visit 9/26/2020 read more

A gem in the desert is found at Marisco's El Capitan in Coachella on Harrison Street! The cucarachas (grilled shrimp) were world class with an addictive seasoning blend. They were served on an oval platter over a bed of rice and ringed with very fresh salad greens. Anxious to go back but plan your timing carefully as it is packed during traditional eating hours. The Sunday lunch crowd was just leaving at 1:15 pm and we were promptly seated without delay. Gloria, our waitress, was delightful. Highly recommend and anxious to return to try more of their copious offerings! read more
