    Carlos and Lucia - The best mojito I've ever had! A generous portion of fresh mint crushed with a wooden mortar and pestle + freshly-squeezed lime juice. Yum!

    A great change of pace from typical local food, friendly staff, great food, easy to get to…read more As a native Californian, I am accustomed to high quality, authentic Mexican food, and as such the typical cuisine in Mazatlan rapidly became a bit boring. Don't get me wrong; giant plates of fresh seafood and ceviche at fantastic prices is great, but variety is the spice of life. I thoroughly enjoyed the giant mojitos (tired of over sweet margaritas), the fried plantains (tired of corn chips), and the congri (tired of refried beans) When we walked up, we were immediately greeted by the proprietor Carlos, who was sitting out front. As we were the only customers there, he spent a lot of time chatting with us, and answered all the questions we had about which dishes were the "most cuban". He spoke great english, was very charming and friendly, and even accepted USD from us when we realized we didn't have enough pesos (they don't take credit). He also gave us a fair exchange rate, which we had not expected from our research about paying in USD. The food was quite delicious, with the high point surprisingly being the black bean soup. We also had the Ropa Vieja (as good as any I've had) and the Onioned Steak (super buttery). We liked the experience so much, we even went back a second time; we generally like to explore as much as possible, so repeat visits are very rare for us. Admittedly it was for lunch instead of dinner, during which we had the garlic soup (good, but lesser than the black bean soup), Tacos Carlos (refreshingly cleaner than the over-fried local tacos), and cuban sandwich (a lot less fatty than the ones I've had in the states, still tasty). Highly recommend this gem to anyone staying in Mazatlan!

La decoración tiene su propio estilo, con detalles que hacen que cada rincón sea agradable y divertido de mirar. La comida es simplemente espectacular. Cada platillo estaba lleno de sabor y preparado con cuidado; se nota que utilizan ingredientes frescos y de calidad. Me sorprendió la variedad del menú: hay opciones para todos los gustos, desde los que aman los sabores intensos hasta los que prefieren algo más ligero. Cada bocado se siente como un pequeño placer que te hace querer probar todo lo que ofrecen. El servicio fue otro punto alto. El personal fue atento, amable y siempre dispuesto a dar recomendaciones o explicarte los platillos, haciendo que la experiencia sea aún más agradable. Además, los tiempos de espera fueron razonables, y todo llegó a la mesa en perfecto estado, caliente y recién hecho. En cuanto a los precios, son justos considerando la calidad y cantidad de comida que ofrecen. No es un lugar donde tengas que gastar demasiado para salir satisfecho, lo que lo hace perfecto para cualquier ocasión.

    This was our first time in Mazatlán and knew Panamá was a restaurant I couldn't leave without…read moretrying. We saw one a few blocks from our hotel, so we dropped off our luggage, changed and headed out for Brunch. The place is so cozy. It had some Mexican decor, but maybe it was because Mexican Independance Day was just a few days away, either way it was adorable. Aside the restaurant there is a bakery, which I believe is how they started off. The bakery has everything from cakes to pan dulce, YUM!! I had Café de Olla and Chilaquiles Rojos, which were served with grilled Chicken and Beans. I added scrambled eggs, but they really weren't needed. Probably the best Chilaquiles I have ever had. Everything was so savory. I do have to rant about the sauce on the Chilaquiles. Wow, what flavor!!! Absolutely delicious!!! We tried to go again on a different day, but went at a peak time and the wait time was longer than we were willing to wait. So, we got coffee and pan dulce to go. The service here is also very good. They definitely run a tight operation. Almost too rigid, but for the Chilaquiles, I would come back over and over. Unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to come back, but if you are ever in Mazatlán, you have to try this place.

    Great service and great food. They accommodated our large group of 14 with no problem. Would…read moredefinitely return and try again.
