Found this little ice cream cart close by to the Immaculate Conception church in Maztlan, Mexico…read more Got to say that they make very very good ice cream. They serve about a dozen different flavors at affordable prices. Service that we received was excellent cause they were friendly and helpful. 5 stars for customer service! Wifey and I were so confused cause every flavor sounded so good! They provided samples for everything we requested. Made us more confused because all the flavors were deliciosa!!! Wifey decided on one scoop of Mango and a scoop of Kiwi. I had a scoop of Nuez and a scoop of Fresa Natural! Talk about fresh and amazing!!! Absolutely loved Don Hilario's ice cream!!! Highly recommend this spot to everyone! Enjoy!!

We ordered the chilaquiles poblano because my wife wanted to compare to yesterday's (next door). We didn't finish yesterday's and after eating the plate here, we left hungry. We were also disappointed that our menu showed panela as part of our dish but they were out. They put some shredded cotija. And no cheese to supplement their being out of panella. We sat in the cafe, which was slightly cooled, but the service (waiter and cooks) are in another room. Food is not bad, overpriced like every restaurant on this street. In a pinch, I guts it will do but they have some strong competition close by with better food, service and at the same prices!

It was in old Mazatlán away from the tourists and crowds. There were maybe three other parties while we were there. This place reminds me of Tarzan or jungle book. Presidio means fort, we learned which was exactly what it was used for when it was built. Now it's a restaurant/bar with a wonderful atmosphere. We wanted a quick bite to eat before we headed back to the ship. I ordered the tuna tostada. Serve with a generous helping of tuna and two tostadas. Delicious, fresh and surprisingly filling. My friend go the shrimp aguachiles. She loves spicy so this was a great pick for her. And a large portion as well! We had chips to start and they served chips with their unique dipping sauce that consisted of peanuts, roasted tomatoes and spices. I wish we were here longer to try some of the other dishes. It was a fun adventure and I highly recommend coming here !

My parents would bring us here as kids (yes to this Mazatlan location) and now it's one of the first places my kids request while in Mazatlan. As you walk in you get the homemade waffle aroma, so for $35 pesos you can get a delicious waffle cone with a single scoop of Ice cream (or 2 scoops for $52 pesos). Yes it's expensive, but it's also expensive in the states so deal with it. Things aren't always cheaper in Mexico!!! To find it go to the Zona Dorada, across the street from Cinema (which was featuring X men and Maleficent for $15 pesos... I had to ask twice cause I couldn't believe it). The shopping center looks like it's seen better days, but the interior is incredibly nice. They offer air conditioning, Wifi, tv with music videos playing, and a comfortable place to sit and enjoy your ice cream. What always gets me is the customer service at these places. Girls working are always dry and provide crappy customer service. I wouldn't let that deter me from enjoying this place. Just dont take it personal, that seems to be their normal face while working. I guess I would also have a "fuchi" face if I was getting paid very little.

WOW, I am putting KUA on the Yelp map tonight. You can skip the review and just come here to eat…read moreanything and it is going to be amazing! We had reservations at 8pm and when we arrived, not only did the wait staff open the door as we were walking up, but they had a reserved sign on the table. Everything about this place is first class. From the decor to the very attentive service, to the outstanding selection of items in the menu to send your taste buds all over the place from savory to spicy, this place could compete with the Michelin rated restaurants of San Francisco. We started out sharing several appetizers. The shrimp tamale and lamb taco were extremely creative with many components giving it a very elegant look. The tamale was soft, moist and bursting with nice pieces of fresh crisp Mazatlan shrimp inside. The tamale was on bean with Cotijo cheese and the beans were as creamy as soft butter. Delicious! The lamb taco was exquisite accompanied by a tasty slaw. The lamb was delicious, moist, and as tender as you can get it. For the main course I split the Octopus with Mole Sauce and the Carne Asada. Octopus, my favorite dish in all of Mexico and it is abundant in Mazatlan. The octopus tonight was amazing! Nice big plump tentacles charred to perfection and set atop a fantastic mole sauce. While the octopus had some heat, the mole sauce (not very sweet) balanced the octopus perfectly. I cut my octopus with a fork easily. Finally, the most amazing piece of meat I have ever had in Mazatlan and probably one of the best anywhere. While most Westerners think of skirt steak when you order Carne Asada, this dish comes as two nice 3 oz medallions of beef. I knew as soon as I tasted the first piece that the chef had a secret weapon in back...the sous vide machine! Sure enough I had to ask and he confirmed ALL the meat is sous vide each night when ordered. This answers why it took about 30-45 minutes after we ordered to get our food but everything is really cooked to order and not sitting around waiting for a reheat. The meat ordered medium rare as it is best served was done absolutely with perfection. Cut with a fork, I knew this had to have been sous vide. Seasoned nicely with a few specks of course sea salt, this dish really sent me over the top. We ordered the Flan for dessert which is served with Caramel ice cream and crushed oatmeal cookie. This flan is more of a cheesecake consistency than a soft custard consistency like the ones you find in the U.S. but I love it! Not wet or super sweet, this dish was a perfect finish with a great cappuccino. KUA has only been open for 8 months and I believe it will soon be in the top 3 restaurants in all of Mazatlan for those who want Michelin level food at an affordable price. I have moved KUA to my #1 slot in Mazatlan for new Mexican cuisine. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE. It is a little out of town and will cost you 80-120 pesos depending on whether you get a truck or Pulmonia. This is my first Michelin quality food experience in Mazatlan ever. There are a few close seconds but this is by far my #1. 5+ Stars

Kua really disappointed us this time, after such a fantastic meal last year…read more We started with salmon carpaccio, fantastic! Then a "toast", which wasn't a toast but a crisp tortilla with dots of sauce on it. Underneath was shrimp with delicious vegetables, but it was impossible to eat them together. Our main course was pork belly with I forget what tiny amount of sauce, it was good, but the pork belly itself was tough, chewy and bland. And finally, we were so excited to have their fabulous house dessert again, caramel ice cream and flan. It was served to us minus the ice cream, just a pile of cookie crumbs next to the flan. Luckily, in addition to the menu description we had a picture from last year, so we talked to the waiter, who came back and said he was sorry, they were out the ice cream! Just for the night! As if it was OK to serve a dessert with a key component missing and not say anything! He said he would comp the dessert, which was nothing without the ice cream, but he didn't, til we called it to his attention. Not planning to go back.

I love coming to Mazatlan and trying different restaurants. Hector's is small intimate restaurant…read morewith amazing service. We had reservations so we were seated right away and our drink orders were brought to us straight away. The manager came and introduced himself while we were there too. I live to see that. I ordered the saffron risotto with pork shank and I loved it. My husband had to the pork chop and it was sooo undercooked. As a rule, when he sends something back, he won't try anything else. He was disappointed but at least he had the mussels as an appetizer. We were with a big group and that was the only meal that was under done so try something else if you go there. This is very close to the Plaza Machado so enjoy walking the area when you're here. I recommend if you're traveling abroad and want something different from resort / hotel food.

Nothing suits so well as ice cream on a hot and sultry Mazatlán afternoon…read more An ice-cold Mexican Coke might do in a pinch, but when the heat's on, when you need something sweet and refreshing to make the day "soportable", that's where La Nueva Michoacana comes in. Located on a busy outside corner of the Mercado Pino Suárez - itself a block-square structure packed with stalls selling everything but frozen treats - La Nueva Michoacana sticks to its knitting, offering sorbets and ice cream - mamey and guava are excellent choices - and paletas, in flavors that include two of my favorites: grosella (red currant) and limón con chile. And for the tired shopper - the store is located amid Mazatlán's Centro district, where much shopping is to be found - La Nueva Michoacana provides chairs, positioned between two open doors to catch the breeze, and graciously allows non-customers to rest themselves. Such hospitality can lead people to be hospitable. I recently walked into the shop, bought a treat, and sat my large self in the last available seat, a plastic lawn chair that objected to what was happening. The man sitting next to me quickly offered the wrought iron seat he occupied. I agreed, and when we'd swapped and settled, I asked, "Were you afraid my chair was going to explode?" "Yes," he said, with a chuckle and a grin. Grateful for his generosity, I offered the man, whose name was Salvador, half of the pan de elote I'd purchased inside the mercado. He took it, and as we ate, we agreed that such abuela food is getting harder to find in public, and is thus doubly gratifying, once found. For a few minutes, we chatted about our homes (his, east of Mazatlán; mine in San Diego) and our governments (both shockingly and inexcusably corrupt). Eventually, Salvador's kids arrived, and he introduced me to his happy family with a quick recap of the whole chair business. Everyone laughed, the kids bought paletas and soon, Familia Salvador went about their day. But first, we took a group selfie, which my new friend was kind enough to email to me. And in our email exchange, we agreed to find a way to visit one another again. All of this, thanks to La Nueva Michoacana.

Finding vegan food in Mazatlan isn't easy. In fact, La Ruta Vegana is one of only two fully vegan…read morerestaurants in Centro Historico Mazatlan. But it's so good that we ended up there twice for dinner during our recent visit to this vibrant city. The restaurant feels a bit like you have been invited into someone's home. An open door welcomes you in, and you are swiftly greeted with a friendly smile and shown to a table. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxed, and a cat sometimes strolls in through the open door to have a look around. La Ruta's menu includes a salad, several pasta options, pizza, hamburgers, dessert, and of course an array of Mexican dishes. We opted for Mexican dishes each time, obviously. FYI, most of the servers speak some English, but it's helpful to have a translator app if you have questions about something in particular. On our first visit, we were given a free appetizer of a soy-based ceviche. We were starving, and it really hit the spot! We washed it down with a refreshing agua fresca (guanabana aka soursop). My order of quesadillas de asada (made of soy meat) were delicious, but my husband's fajitas (made of seitan) were out of this world! The flavor of the meat was incredible -- succulent, juicy, well seasoned, and just slightly fatty to really give that meaty feeling to it. On our return visit, they were sadly out of the fajitas so I chose the asada tacos. They were great, and my husband ordered a huge plate of nachos that were quite tasty. They had a homemade cheese sauce on them that was lighter tasting and seemed to be made of vegetables. Again our server was really sweet and friendly, and we enjoyed our visit. I highly recommend visiting this lovely restaurant. La Ruta Vegana is clearly passionate about making quality food, serving it in a pleasant and welcoming environment, and doing it all with a smile.
