Mazatlán has the best seafood on the Mexican pacific, thanks to several centuries of colonial tradition and its unique geographical position as the gateway to the sea of Cortés.

 

FOOD
Resting at the beach after an exciting day of activities, or simply relaxing under the warm rays of the sun, the seductive aroma of a whole-some, freshly cooked seafood banquet, reaches out and calls you to one of the many hotel restaurants along the seacoast, to sit at a table under green palapas, open to the sound, scent and the sight of the sea. Let the smell of the deliciously prepared food entice your appetite as you go over the menu, and then try the shrimp ceviche in "aguachile" (raw shrimp "cooked" in a tangy sayce); the dorado "machaca" (shredded smoked dorado, fried with scrambled eggs)

Sinaloa’s traditional "chilorio" (dried meat cooked in a red sauce) and pork tamales; a mouth watering "campechana sinaloense" (Sinaloa’s special seafood cocktail); pickled oysters and fish; "chiles" filled with shrimp salad; the original fish tacos and ceviche tostadas or a "pescado zarandeado" (jeggled fish), accompanied by a chilled, refreshing "michelada" (México’s world famous beer, served over lemon juice in a salt rimmed glass), or a Mexican "agua fresca" (fruit-based fresh drink). For dessert, ask about the wide variety of typical sweets and pastries.

Smile back at the waiters and other friendly customers, while enjoying the merry sound of the Mariachis or a Tambora band, that provide the perfect musical background for an unforgettable and very typical Mexican dinner, made possible thanks to Sinaloa’s traditional cuisine-enriched by its pre-Hispanic, colonial and international backgrounds- and the wide variety of fish and seafood species of Mazatlán, gateway to the world’s largest natural aquarium: the Sea of Cortés.

And when you ask for the check, a final surprise: for the price of a shrimp dish back home, you’ll get a first class entrée!

Revel in the style and colonial flavor of Mazatlán, where you’ll find world class Mexican cuisine for seafood lovers, incredible fishing, and all around fun for everyone.
