    It's Thrifty's ice cream so you know it's delicious, but they improve on it because they offer…read moreeverything from a single scoop to a banana split. 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.

    Food is good, atmosphere and music is very nice, bathroom clean…read more Service was slow and price is on the higher side.

    You know that one restaurant that is calling out your name after cross researching Yelp,…read moreTripadvisor, Google and top restaurant lists while you're on vacation? Alright, Presidio wasn't calling out my name; it was the absolutely obvious choice when visiting Mazatlan while on a cruise last week. The location is very easily accessible from the cruise port (easy 20 minute walk) and right near the middle of town as well as the Malecon (beach boardwalk). The place itself is gorgeous and most everyone in our party commented that they felt like they were inside the Jungle Ride at Disneyland. A lush tropical interior courtyard with a lovely fountain, a hint of rustic flavor and decor of a bygone era complete with aged/damaged walls which were there either purposely as planned decor or as a sign of age and weathering. Either way, these walls as well as arches were lovely. And you'd never expect an interior courtyard like this from walking by outside. Oh, and the long old bar located at the back of the courtyard screams of yesteryear probably lined with old friends, old stories and lots and lots of margaritas, mezcal cocktails and probably quite a few banditos. Service is friendly and laid back; as is typical of non-U.S. countries, it does take a bit to order and get your food and drinks but when you're in that 'Hidden Courtyard', it doesn't really seem to matter. The margarita tradicionals are fantastic if a bit small for a drunk like me. I also tried one of the mezcal drinks and it was fantastic. My 16 year old daughter ordered the Pan Roasted Salmon for $419MX or $23 and she said it was the best she'd ever had. The creamy mixed pepper sauce with smoked chipotle was outta sight good. I kept sliding my fork through that stuff when she was done. My 13 year old son ordered the Esquites and Tuetanos ($324MX or $17USD - Regional corn cooked in butter and epazole her dried pepper aoili, cotija cheese, sour cream, cilantro with two huge bones filled with juicy bone marrow with roasted garlic. This was really great and one of our friends ordered it as well and enjoyed it. My wife ordered the Carnitas for $399MX ($22USD) with the optional Smoked Cheese for an additional $49MX ($2.70USD)...that's kind of funny...just throw it in there, guys! This dish was delicious. I ordered the Smoked Pork Shank ($489MX - $26.75USD) which is smoked for 12 hours with an anaheim pepper au gratin with smoked cheese (no extra charge!) with a roasted cambray and port demi glace. This was absolutely sensational and massive. Wow, this thing could very easily feed two people (or three if you order some apps). The smokey flavor was persistent through every bite and the meat fell off the bone. Really an amazing dish that I wish I could have eaten more of! We shared the Yellowfin Sliced Tuna ($289MX - $15USD) with a soy vinaigrette with ginger, sesame oil, macha sauce, wakame and kombu seaweed salad, cucumber and red onion. Even though this was definitely not a Mexican dish, it was absolutely fantastic. My mother-in-law ordered the Roasted Pear Salad ($254MX - $14USD) and very much enjoyed it. It looked great! Our friends ordered the Seabass Ceviche ($299MX - $16USD) and generously offered us several bites and it was fantastic as well. They also ordered the guac which was sensational. Overall, we all were so pleased with this place and continued to talk about it throughout the rest of the cruise and considered it one of the highlights of the entire trip. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
