This place had been highly recommended to me, and I finally decided to go.
IT'S SPECTACULARLY RICH! The Cajun style shrimp was my favorite, the cocktails are very refreshing and delicious.
The service and attention of my waiter Carlos was luxurious.
Thanks Captain, we'll see you soon.

First time visiting this great restaurant, I loved its concept of eating with your hands and on the table, it is quite fun, it was a great family moment.
The Cajun-style shrimp are delicious, and if you have the opportunity to order it with crab, it is even tastier.
Excellent service from all the staff. Total thanks

It had been recommended to me a lot, and I finally decided to go, I honestly don't regret it.
The food is soooo delicious, the Blackbeard Taco was my favorite, followed by the place's specialty; Cajun seafood.
The place is large and spacious, the service from Carlos was spectacular and to close with a flourish, order a Jamaican Mezcalita.

Had an amazing supper tonight at Captain Cajun. Waitress was very helpful explaining the menu to help us decide on the food. The appetizer "Captains snack " was the best & would return just for that dish!! Daniel our waiter was fabulous.

I recently hosted a group of 35 women at Captain Cajun! The restaurant is very large and open air. The service was top notch and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. It is not easy to look after a large group, especially with people getting up and mingling, but they did an incredible job of taking care of us, We were there for a happy hour get together and the drinks were very good and the margaritas, which were 2x1, were made with fresh ingredients. Everyone who ordered food raved about it and said they would be coming back for dinner sometime soon! Great job, Captain Cajun! Thank you for accommodating our group! I would highly recommend this restaurant, I know I will be back soon!

Great large open space with a nice bar. A local band was playing mixed US and Spanish rock . Young Alberto at the bar is knowledgeable and full of information about Artesan liquor they offer including Raicilla and Mezcal from Oaxaca, He is always happy to give you a sample to try. Moisés, the Manager is energetic and is on top of things. He suggested I try their Wings, which I did. His own creation the House Wings come crispy and juicy in a light sauce that has a unique subtle taste that complements the flavors in a delicious and unique way. I highly recommend them. I went solo and was really never solo and had a great time. Prices are reasonable and the food presentation is very good.

We both had the shrimp and crab boil which had virtually no crab. The season only resembled Cajun / New Orleans in that it was spicy but it wasn't particularly flavorful. The service while friendly was very slow.
The drinks and guacamole were vey good.

Running an errand and found this on Maps. What a great find. For lunch we feasted on the Shrimp Boil which consisted of 1/2 lb of cajun shrimp, corn, potato and rice. You can add sausage which we will try next time. The food was fantastic. We were there just as they opened for lunch so not a lot of folks there, but I suspect the service would be just as attentive and personal, if the place had been crowded. All this for 195 pesos. Another member of our group wasn't terribly hungry so just ordered the Cajun Shrimp Taco, which came loaded with shrimp and piled with veges. They loved it.
The owner stopped by to greet us, check on our meal and advise that they also serve breakfast and will deliver. Extremely accommodating.
Can't wait to go back.

My husband and I went to Capitan Cajun last week for an early dinner and loved it. Like many in the area, this restaurant is open-air, but shaded.
They have an impressive list of house cocktails (in addition to all the usual ones), and our waiter, Daniel, was very helpful in suggesting drinks he thought were particularly good. I had two cocktails, both his suggestions, and enjoyed both immensely.
We ordered fish chicharron, the Viking Tower, Captain Tuna, and a side of cajun fries. Everything was delicious, and we'll definitely come back to sample more. The food arrive quickly, and we were attentively checked on, but not intrusively so.
Daniel was super friendly, speaks excellent English, and let us practice our Spanish with him. We exchanged some slang.

The service was great and our waiter Daniel was very helpful!! But their shrimp boil wasn’t the best. My rating is for their food rather than their service.
I had planned my trip to PV a few months in advance and I couldn’t wait to try this place because the reviews were so good. However, if you’ve been to boiling crab and bubba gump and love them then this place isn’t for you. The sauce in the boil wasn’t anything special and needed a lot more seasoning and flavor. I was expecting the boil to be delicious but I was disappointed. I hope in the future the owners can add more seasoning and spices to the cajun boil because it tasted like I was only eating shrimp with lemon and pepper… very plain.
However the octopus dish and guacamole they gave us was good! But it’s disappointing that their most famous dish lacked flavor and seasoning. And they were out of the clam soup.

We were looking for a break from more traditional Mexican fare and were pleasantly surprised by our experience! The venue is open air and offered many well spaced out tables with fans so it felt COVID safe.
The service was prompt and attentive and the food was yummy with good portions. In fact we couldn’t finish our dishes but they were happy to pack everything up to-go for us. Would highly recommend for anyone seeking cajun spice in a relaxing atmosphere for a nice night out. We will definitely be returning.

It was a very nice place to have dinner. We were taken care of by a kind waiter named DANIEL. I had a Juicy Lucy burger and una cervecita Victoria. My lady had a seafood plate New Orleans style with shrimp, mussels, and blue crab. We loved an open-concept of the place and flavorfulness of the dishes.

I am in PV 6-7 months a year and finally ordered food from Captain Cajun and the only thing I can say is why did I wait so long!! And it won't be the last time!!! The food was excellent and fresh. I had the Elije Tu Pesca with camarones and it was awesome. I also had the chowder and the Viking Tower, both excellent. I have read it is a great restaurant to go to but with covid, I have been ordering in. Their prices are extremely reasonable and their delivery service was great. I find it is really great to support a local business in these tough times and it is much better for the restaurant and you if you can order directly from them because they do not have to pay a delivery service 30-40% of what you pay. I would highly recommend ordering from them or going to the restaurant and enjoying some awesome food.

My husband and I the gumbo and a boil and it was fantastic. Large fans and cold drinks keep you cool. The space is airy. The food is spiced to order. Our server Daniel was amazing. We would definitely go back again even though Versalles has SO many choices. 100% happy customers and my husband is VERY picky when it comes to crab. Loved it!

The food at Cajún has improved significantly ever since the talented and zesty new chef arrived. She sure knows how to cook and to treat her guests! Cesar, the owner, is a great host himself, always there for a smile and a chat. Friday nights: country music. Saturday 9 pm: the absolute best cover rock band you will EVER hear in your lifetime. Kid-friendly options, pet-friendly, and simply… friendly.
Love coming back here, it feels like family, because it is. ❤️
