Great food, warm service, literally! I stopped in at El Capitan in Yuba City for seafood and was pleasantly surprised. The food was so good! I had the best chile relleno I've ever had in my life. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and well-priced. The drinks were on point too, they make a really good mimosa, which isn't always easy to find at a seafood place. The only downside was how hot it was inside it didn't seem like they had air conditioning, so it got pretty warm while eating. Still, the food was worth it. I'd definitely go back, maybe just not on a 100-degree day! read more

I love aguachile, but this one was respectfully really really sour. It didn't taste like aguachile just limón which made it not enjoyable at all. The shrimp was clean tho! read more

This place is a local hidden gem. The food is delicious and our waitress was friendly and attentive. I love their seafood here. I had the shrimp a la Kora and it was so delicious and full of flavor and big portions. The home made tortillas are amazing . The mimosas I had were good and I enjoyed the Tajín on the rim :) Also the vibes in the place are welcoming and I loved the music they had playing. There's a live band if you want to request a song you can:) definitely come here if you're looking for good seafood :) read more

Excellent surprise find in Yuba City! Thank you, Yelp for steering me in the right direction once again. I was in the mood for shrimp tacos and Mariscos El Capitan popped up loud and clear. The decor is utterly charming! Seaside white and blue abound with beach touches like model ships, sand and shell shadow box tables and anchors. Super super clean look and feel. I had one breaded shrimp taco and one garlic shrimp taco. Wow! Both were amazing...generous portions and spot on with accompaniments. Kudos to M.E.C. For offering s green salad as side option in place of the ubiquitous rice and beans. Everyone I encountered was super friendly. I was in a bit of rush and my server hurried the order for me and delivered a check promptly so I could skeedadle. Highly recommended! read more

Mariscos El Capitan - Stuffed jalapeños and quesabirria taco - Seafood Near Me - Yuba City, California

They use to have a good michelada. Good recipe and came with all the fixings. Bought two of them and they had no flavor. The cup was small. Not worth the 14 dollars a cup. It was the same that you get from the flea markets. Almost as if they took the Chelada tall can and poured it over ice. Use to recommend them to people but won't be doing that again. read more

Rarely ever give 5 stars. This place is located in an unassuming strip mall with pleasant but kitsch decore. But don't let any of that fool you! This affordable local hot spot is world class. The food was clean tasting, bright, balanced and inventive while still being classic, amazingly original, while still being traditional AND unexpected. The complimentary fish/salas and chips appetizer lets you know you are in for a treat. There were touches of carrot, generous amount of fresh lime, and just a perfect hint of dices crisp peppers in the appetizer. We add the guacamole and were in heaven. The Spanish rice tastes like it was cooked with chicken broth not just water, the beans are rich and delicately laced with smoke, possibly from being slow cooked with ham hock. The fish is bright with citrusy bursts of lime. The sauces complex be they over shrimp (peeled and/or non peeled your choice!) or a chili Relleno. The orange juice is fresh squeezed the beers cold and the drinks other guests were ordering (we didn't have any adult beverages) looked like we were missing out. Eva our server made it a true five star experience she was just as bright, confident and approachable as the food. We are so coming back and regret not finding this gem earlier read more

Good shrimp. Best refried beans around. Rice ok. Make shrimp w tomatoes onions jalapeño sauce thicker! It was like water. Best Coen tortillas I've ever had. More garlic on shrimp. Coffee fresh and hot. Very nice people there. Will go back. Corn tortillas and refried beans Best ever. My complaint is no chips and salsa w my plate dinner. read more

Came here for lunch today and it was pretty dang tasty. The inside was clean although some of the tables were closed for repair....but they were not needed as plenty other tables available. The staff was friendly. Our first waitress did not speak much English and we did not speak much Spanish so she got another waitress to help...totally understand. The only downside was the chips weren't great but the salsa that came with it was really good it was almost like a crab salad vs a tomato salsa. Now they good stuff we ordered a six piece shrimp empanda it had a good amount of cheese and shrimp and it came with a mayo chipotle and verde dipping sauces. These empandas were amazing, good sized and you can tell were homemade not from the freezer. I got shrimp/fish mixed ceviche and it was fresh and well seasoned. I also got a few fresh flour tortillas because I read they were homemade...they were thin but fluffy and oh soo good. The man got the seafood tower which easily could of fed two (I should of skipped the ceviche and just shared that). All of the seafood was well seasoned, fresh and beautifully plated. Now that this is on our radar we will be back. Also gives me a chance to work on my very poor Spanish. read more

The food and drinks are AMAZING!!!!! Their by far some of the best Micheladas in town (and surrounding towns). Seafood dishes have sooooooo much flavor! Whether it's just you, two of you or a whole party.... STOP BY! You will not be disappointed. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of food you're getting. The plates are a good size. Very authentic! If you're in need of some good Mexican food, stop by! Parking is easy and right in front of the restaurant. The staff are super polite and attentive. The decor and tables are so cute! Fit to the style/name. read more

Due to how small yuba city is makes sense why this restaurant is considering the best of the city . Unfortunately to my honest opinion you can get better quality anywhere else in Sacramento and all over the bay area. Now on the other side of customer service it is horrible. We order a main plate not a botana we ask for tortillas and they said that their main dishes don't come with tortillas because it's not caldo or menudo. So unprofessional and rude if they wanted to charge me extra for tortillas that could've been an option. Definitely never coming here ever again when we are in yuba . read more

So good. I've only had fish tacos until tonight and had Birria too. ALL GOOD! I ordered out but everytime we ate in the staff was great. Kids ball game around the corner we need to eat quick they nailed it! Still best fish tacos I've had in town. Mine might be better but...lol. Joking. read more

The shrimp burrito and jalapeño rellenos are amazing! The employees are very friendly and the decor is very cute. Highly recommended!

What a gem! My wife and I were visiting ftom out of town and both are huge fans of Mexican food. Her due to her hispanic roots and large family get togethers centered on food and eating, me because of my love for the genre. Everything from the fresh corn tortillas to the salsa with fish, lime onions.., to the fantastic, perfectly cooked shrimp and delicious chile rellenos! The staff, and Eva in particular were great! I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area! read more

Food and service was a 10/10! Camarones a la Kora were my favorite. They offer handmade tortillas and good selection of drinks.

Amazing place to eat some mariscos. I ordered el Plato Capitan and it was delicious!!!. The Cora shrimp were super tasty along the carne asada. I also like that this restaurants tortillas feel and look freshly made. I will definitely return to try their other tasty dishes in the future. read more

Great place to come and pick up some latin seafood. Probably the best seafood cocktail I've had outside of Miami

The place is alright, not to impressed with the food for the price they charge, they are pretty basic meals. Service is not that great but if your there for a quick bite and just come and go you probably wouldn't mind it. The place can be a bit loud sometimes but if you choose the right day noise shouldn't be an issue. read more

Food was not good at all.. The chips were stale, I asked the server if they had fresh ones cause they were super stale and she said that's all they had. The ceviche looked and tasted like it had been sitting there for a good minute and they skimp you out. The only thing that was good was the michelada. Do not recommend this place at all lol it was a waste of money! read more

My family wanted to try a different place for mariscos since the one on Colusa hwy is super salty now. Well, we decided to try this place and we were extremely disappointed. I called to place my order and they were very sweet and helpful. The only thing I didn't like was towards the end of the phone call I asked for my total and she couldn't give me an answer. Okay, not a big deal. I ordered a plate of camarones y pulpo a la cora and the pulpo was pretty burnt. It was supposed to come with a salad but it was literally two pieces of cucumber and not even a handful of lettuce or whatever else they put in their salad. The beans, rice and shrimp were good though. We also ordered some shrimp cocktails. Med size were not worth it. Just get the large if you decide to come here. We bought 1 large and 3 meds. They were flavorless lol EXTREMELY disappointed. I had to add so much tapatío and ketchup so I could eat and enjoy it. The shrimp in the cocktail were also a little bit overcooked. The agua de horchata was flavorless too. We did not like it at all. The only thing we liked were the shrimp empanadas and the dipping sauce for it. All in all, this is the last time we come here. It's not worth the price and how the dishes are made. They either need a new cook or teach the one they have. Extremely disappointed. read more
