    They have a good sense of humoe

    One of the best local places I have been to in the past 10 years in Mazatlan. Wildly popular with the locals (menus are in Spanish only and waiters do not speak English) so make sure you bring your Google translate but do NOT let that steer you away..just the opposite. A lot of photos of the food dishes are on the wall. There is live music but unlike other places, they play outside and in front so it's not blasting your ears as you eat. Service is quick and fast but they are very patient. Just say "Cinco Minutos" and you will have 5 minutes to look at the menu. The menu is broken down into clear sections for beef, pork, fish, specials, and grilled. I noticed they had some very interesting dishes including Oysters Rockafeller which I love but rarely order it. Well let me tell you this was some of the best Oyster Rockafeller I have had. HUGE 3 inch wide oysters with cheese and very thin crispy bacon pieces and spinach along with their white sauce made these fantastic. TIP: Eat then first as they will get cold quick. Next I ordered my all time favorite dish, the Pulpo (octopus). Cooked in garlic and butter this dish is a 5/5 and then some. Generous portions of octopus cover the plate. Accompanied with some flour tortillas, I could eat two of these dishes! Do not miss this dish! Next up was a tuna tostada and let me tell you, this was great tuna from the belly (not that red died tuna they feed you in the states. Marinated in lime juice, every piece was as tender as the next and melted in your mouth. Almost forgot the Guacamole. Anyone who has been to Mexico and orders Guacamole knows the avacados in Mexico are much different than in the U.S. If you like rich and creamy Guacamole then you are going to love it here. Smooth as butter and seasoned slightly it's a must to accompany your meal. If you love shrimp then you must order the shrimp tacos that come 4 to an order. These were by far the #1 shrimp taco I have had in Mazatlan so far. Huge prawns (really they are that big, not the small shrimp) bursting out of the taco, and with great color and flavor we devoured these tacos in no time. We had a few Margaritas which I wasn't crazy about as they were super sweet, too sweet but everyone makes the margarita differently so it's a crap shoot when ordering one anywhere. I always go for the Cadillac Margarita if they have it. After you leave if you do not speak any Spanish, you simply can walk two blocks west to the Malecon where to s of Pulmonia's drive by. One will stop for you without a doubt. For great local flare in Mazatlan and a massive menu that has probably anything you could think of, this is my new favorite spot in Mazatlan when it comes to a place where the locals bring their families. 5 stars!

    This place in Mazatlan, MX was amazing. The atmosphere was great. Service was exceptional. Food was excellent. We need to have this kind of service in the states. The people here were so attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend this place.

    Great ceviche!!! This was our best part of our recent trip to Mazatlan. The fish was so fresh and barely "cooked" with the citrus. They also weren't afraid to heat it up with their hot salsa on the side and peppers in the dish. Make sure to get the Ceviche El Torito (mixed seafood ceviche). I'm not sure why we don't have this level of freshness and quality in the US, but if you are ever in Mazatlan or in Cabo (there is a location their too) you have to stop in.

    Muy rico! Delicious spot. Drinks were good. Food was good. Nice to be off the Melecon and in the barrios a little bit more. Lots of locals. Had the Chile's rellenos with Cameron which was really good. Hubby tried the coconut shrimp. Overall great experience. Didn't really care for the fried calamari, but that didn't stop us from eating it all lol

    We ordered the mixed ceviche; I think it's called the Ceviche El Torito.

The environment is full of energy, if you're looking for a lowkey spot please look elsewhere. The food was delicious! We ordered aguachile, shrimp tostada, tuna and la Reina (the queen, octopus tostada). The food was fresh, the flavors of the citrus and seafood were a perfect match. The views and ocean breeze are top tier. We go here at least once on our trips to MAZ. If you like culture and live music check out this place.

Being in one of Mexico's most famous coastal cities, seafood seemed like the obvious choice, so we decided to have lunch at El Muchacho Alegre, a restaurant right on the waterfront. I have to admit, my first impression was excellent. The location is hard to beat. Sitting outdoors with the ocean directly in front of us, watching the waves roll in while enjoying the sea breeze, it felt exactly like the kind of coastal Mexico experience you imagine before arriving. The view alone almost made me think that even if the food turned out to be average, the setting would make the visit worthwhile. We ordered the grilled seafood platter and a seafood margarita, both of which sounded promising on the menu. After all, when you're dining in a city known for its seafood, expectations naturally rise. The seafood platter looked impressive when it arrived. The plate was loaded with a variety of seafood and certainly made a great first impression. Unfortunately, the actual flavors didn't quite match the presentation. Several items seemed overcooked, leaving the seafood a little dry, and the seasoning was fairly ordinary. More disappointing was that a few of the seafood items carried a noticeable fishy taste. That was probably the most frustrating part of the meal. The ingredients themselves appeared to have potential, but the preparation never allowed their natural sweetness and freshness to shine through. Sitting beside the ocean, you almost expect that one bite that reminds you why fresh coastal seafood can be so special. That moment never really arrived. The seafood margarita followed a similar pattern. It looked colorful and appealing when it was served, but the flavors felt surprisingly flat. The different seafood components never came together in a particularly memorable way, and in some bites the fishiness was even more noticeable. As the meal went on, I found myself spending more time looking at the ocean than thinking about the food. Around us, people were enjoying drinks, taking photos, and relaxing with friends and family. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable, and I began to understand why the restaurant is so popular. Many visitors probably come here for the setting, the views, and the overall experience rather than for exceptional seafood. Viewed as a beachfront restaurant where you can relax, enjoy the scenery, and spend a pleasant afternoon, it succeeds. Viewed as a destination for memorable seafood in Mazatlán, it felt much more average. When I left, the strongest memories I took with me were the ocean views, the sea breeze, and the relaxing afternoon by the water--not the seafood on the table.
