The story
From the owner
El Capitan Fresh Mexican Grill and Seafood serves up traditional Mexican fare with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and value.
Owners Emma and Carlos, who've run the respected Buon Gusto Ristorante in Mission Hills since 2000, opened this second location in their hometown of Simi Valley in 2020. The menu spans breakfast, lunch, and dinner—think ceviche, enchiladas, fajitas, and their signature Simi Strong Nachos. They handle private events with custom menus tailored to your needs. Reviewers consistently praise the quality of the food, the attentive service, and the welcoming atmosphere.
