    They have a good sense of humoe
    Jay G.

    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

This is a very spacious waterfront restaurant with a lot of tables and wonderful view. The place is clean and pleasant. Restrooms are also very clean. The four of us shared a Zarandeado Fish KG (Fish of the Day) which was a whole Red Snapper and a Grilled Seafood 700G which included Grilled and Breaded Fish Fillet, Stuffed, Coconut, and Breaded Shrimp, Diablo Sauce Shrimps, Governor Tacos, and Empanadas. Food was amazing and plentiful. We were each given a plate of salad with a scoop of rice. That was plenty of good, fresh seafood. Two of us ordered drinks, a Pina Colada and a Mojito Tradicional. Servers speak good English and are friendly and helpful. Prices were very reasonable for American standard. All the food and drinks with gratuities came to about US$85. All four of us were very full and satisfied.

The restaurant is located right on the water. The service is semi friendly and no effort to speak English was made which is 100% understandable. Thankfully we had a few people in our group who spoke Spanish. Everything we ordered was fantastic the shrimp and steak molcajete was served with fresh corn tortillas. The shrimp were enormous and the steak was really tender. The seafood ceviche tasted real fresh excellent lime and chili flavor. The fish and shrimp tacos were excellent as well. When paying try to always pay in the local currency if possible. If paying in dollars will not always get the best exchange rate.

    Our cruise stop in Mazatlán was relatively short, so every meal felt like an opportunity to…read moreexperience something memorable. 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.

    Staff was friendly and very willing to make do with some one-semester high-school level Spanish we…read morehad in our group, and there were plenty of tables at this amazing by-the-beach spot. There aren't any walls or windows to get in your way: views were really great (though I couldn't decide whether to wear sunglasses for the views, or take them off to see indoors). The food was good. The tostadas were crispy, and the tacos were superb. The marlin came as a recommendation from a local friend, and was probably the best thing we tried. We got a molcajete, which was visually appealing and the oysters were my wife's favorites. I got a cocohorchata, which was both larger (in size) than I expected and rounded the meal off well. My biggest downside is the live band went around playing at various tables (they ask if you want them to play), and it's really loud. Combined with the music in the restaurant over the loudspeakers and it's a noisy restaurant.
