Reviews Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant

Very quick service. I love that the chips come with salsa and refried beans. My kids don’t care too much for salsa, so the beans are a hit. They will also bring more if you ask. The food is consistent and of high quality. I always comeback here for Mexican food and it doesn’t disappoint. It can be busy because it’s a popular place in town.

One of my to-do' lists since moving into the area was to find a go-to sit-down Mexican Restaurant and I believe my search is over. Mazatlan was within my target area and me and the kids decided to check it out. The reviews that patrons have left seemed promising so we wanted to experience the restaurant for ourselves. We were greeted by a nice, spanish-speaking lady and she brought us to a nice table towards the back corner of the restaurant. The area wasn't as busy and we had our nice little cozy private spot, The decor was really nice, colorful, lots of colorful tiles and colors adorned the walls with this fun-looking decor. We were given some nice, freshly made tortilla chips along with refried bean dip and a salsa on the side. It was a delight to have 2 different things to dip our chips into. The chips were an instant hit- it didn't last long until we finished the bowl when the lady came back and asked us if we wanted more and we said yes. She knew we were enjoying the chips and it was a nice-to-have before our entrees came out. For our drinks, we went with Horchatas all-around and I tell you, the Horchatas came in large, plastic coke-labeled glasses. Large Horchatas.- Wow!! When the lady came back with our menus, the kids were overwhelmed and excited to see many choices from the menu. What really impressed my son a lot was that he never saw steak + shrimp offered on the same plate (kind of like a surf and turf) which was a delight to see. It was a hard decision to make but he opted for the Carnitas plate when he saw the photo on the bottom corner of the menu. This also caught my eye as well and we both ordered the same. My daughters went for Chile Verde and Enchilladas respectively. Our eyes even lit-up wider when our plates came out- LOTS of food, I mean LOTS!! They were prepared in round, ceramic bowl/dishes and hot out of the oven. My son enjoyed how creamy the refried beans were and I enjoyed the carnitas meat- nice, tender but the bomb was the sauce that came with the meat- it was a lemon-salsa type of sauce that woke-up the carnitas. You have to absolutely dip the meat into this!! My daughters enjoyed both their enchiladas and Chile Verde- all tasty. We were served so much food that we didn't have any space for our appetizers. Obviously the highlight of the dinner has to be the left-overs that we get to bring home and continue to enjoy again for tomorrow's lunch. Friendly waitresses, very attentive and always asking if you need more water and checking in on you. Great customer service and they made us feel at home- we really enjoyed our dinner tonight and what a great first-time impression!!
