Amazing food and service! So glad new management has taken over. Felipe always has a smile on his face and is willing to help make your experience a great one! Bacon wrapped shrimp followed by the chicken taquitos or carne asada are my favorite. Huge improvement in the environment and cleanliness of the building. Highly recommend. read more

This was perhaps the worst Mexican mess I hv e had in a very long time. I don't like leaving poor reviews but this was so poor. The Mexican pizza was a pile of food atop a soggy flour soft tortilla. Ate perhaps six bites max. The salsa watery and no flavor. The enchiladas just gross but the rice was good. We also ordered cheese crisp That was fine. Service was good but that is where the star goes. If basing upon service I'd have gave it a 4 star at least but the food? Honestly I will not ever be back. Loads of other places to spend money at that prepare food filled with flavor and good presentation. So disappointed read more

I hate giving one star! The only reason why I did is because they have food and water there! New paint interior & exterior Ihop meets Baskin Robbins! Coffee was served ice cold, resteraunt was ice cold. We had to ask if they could put heat on, we asked for extra napkins we got one! We sat in the bar side lights were all on so bright in there, other customers said they should have worn their sunglasses. No atmosphere! Manager came into bar tried to put soccer on he couldn't get it in so he left the TV on static and walked away, At least put a low rider show on, meet me half way dude!!! Food was old. You could tell it was reheated! Chicken was burnt and dried out. We will not be returning! They also brought in all new staff, lack of experience in hospitality!! I sure miss the old staff they were personable, professional! This use to be a Great Seahawks place! Not no more! None of the regular customers were there, the place was empty for it being a Friday night! Oh ya the waitress never brought our waters!! When I pointed out that the menus were new, she said really? Well imagine that!! We were checked on only once we were asked how did the food taste and she walked away never asking if we needed anything! Mexican music blaring, Kid Rock songs in Spanish, Juke box is gone! All in all over staffed that congregated at the bar ignoring the few customers that were there, when customers were finished it's like they ran out of the building, because it was no longer warm and inviting! People did not want to stay and socialize! We must find a new hangout. read more

The food is amazing! We always go in for the molcahete and it never disappoints. The service is always amazing as well. Management is extremely kind. Oh and let me not forget about the piña colada, even better. read more

It might have been that I was with my Mother at the time, but I really did enjoy myself and the food. The chips and salsa were very good, although the salsa was a bit spicy for this gringa. I can never make up my mind on what to get, so I normally go for the combination plates. And even those weren't quite right, so I got two items from the a la carte menu. When they came the portions where HUGE! Enough for two people - easily! My mother got a nacho plate from the appetizers selection and that was also borderline ridiculous on the size chart. But regardless of the size, the food was good and we got to take leftovers home! Oh, and the strawberry margarita was *lovely*!!! :D read more

I did not read the other reviews until I sat down in the restaurant so I was a little worried. But my worries were squashed by the awesome salsa and extremely fresh chips. Followed up by a really good house margarita. I took the waiters suggestion on a meal since I'm from out of town and this is the first time here. I do not remember the name of the dish pit see the picture. The beef chicken and shrimp were awesome! Very flavorful and and seasoned well. I did not have to add salt or pepper to anything. Accompaniments were great as well. The decor is a little dated, OK well a lot dated but the place was very clean and comfortable. Staff was super friendly and service was excellent. I travel a lot and recently spent several weeks in San Antonio Texas and this food was at least as good, mostly better than any Mexican I had there. read more

Mazatlan Restaurants - This was an awesome dish. - Mexican Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

In town for business. Ordered the polo de creme' Very poor to poor flavor. Serving size was nice and the service was average. I won't be eating here again. read more

Dont mean to be rude, but it is a basic Mexican restaurant. And honestly, I would prefer Azteca. I ordered my go-to, arroz con pollo, and it was lackluster. Good for a quick meal (speed was amazing!) But I've had better and prefer elsewhere. If you're close and wanna grab something quick, go for it. Otherwise, you're better off at Azteca or Moctezumas (if you're in Tacoma). read more

Came with my pregnant wife, service was relatively quick. You could enjoy the restaurant atmosphere while you waited thanks to the decorations. When we got our food there were generous portions and their fried 10/10 amazing. overall the food and service was great. Would come again. read more

Mazatlan Restaurants - Mexican Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Awful food and service. Ordered a Toastada that was covered in lettuce, and meat was disgusting. Chips where old the salsa was store bought.

Decided to meet my gf here for dinner and picked this location so it would be more convenient for us both, Yay for this decision!!! First impression of the restaurant itself was that the layout was much cleaner:) that's a big plus for me! Also the waitress was very pleasant and very attentive as well. Food was pretty good, I ordered the Arroz Con Pollo, which I haven't had in a while and was greatly pleased with the outcome, it was DEELISH:) I live closer to the Parkland location on Pacific but this location really isn't that much farther, might be venturing out soon to visit again...... read more

2 star because the staff is friendly &a place is clean... The food on the other hand was blah! The salsa is not authentic & was okay... I had the carne asada plate and the carne asada & rice had no flavor -____- . My husband had a burrito & he didn't like it also. He originally wanted chile verde but when he ask for it to be extra spicy, the waiter told us that the verde sauce was pre-made :/ this was our first visit & will be our last. TIP: do not ask for extra sour cream it's an additional $2 buck (crazy) read more

Big portions, great ice tea, great service, horrible bland food and yes the salsa looks and tastes like tomato sauce (they put is on everything) - should not be considered "Mexican Food". I had ice tea, a chicken appetizer, fajitas burrito, and tamale on the side - none of it had any flavor and I ended up smothering it all in bottled hot sauce. $40.07 (not including tip) very disappointed. read more

Stopped in for dinner last night since it's close to home. the service was just ok, while he was attentive he was very forgetful as well. Dinner was even worse, I ordered there enchilada, chili relleno, taco combo. The chicken was bland and the sauce was not much better. The taco soggy to the point that it couldn't be eaten without a fork. The chili relleno was by far the worst I've ever had ! It tasted terrible, the egg appeared to have been burned at some point before it was frozen and then reheated in the microwave. Which it's obviously what happened, by the fact that the ends of the chili, egg, cheese was hard as a rock, dried out and congealed together like glue. Unless your starving I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone ! I know I won't be back. Next time I'll deal with the wait and go to Moctazuma instead read more

Won't be coming here again. Maybe they got a new chef but this place has went down. Portions seem smaller. The beans are very salty. The enchiladas are dried out and the to go salsa container is over priced. I tried to give them the benefit, I came twice within two weeks and it just is not the same as it was a couple months before. Won't be coming here again. read more

They are under new management. The place is clean and the food is great! Very friendly staff and quick service. The chicken taquitos are very yummy! read more

Not authentic! I ordered tacos .... going to a Mexican place I thought I would be getting Mexican tacos in a corn tortilla instead I got them in a hard shell if I had wanted that i would have gone to Taco Bell.... read more

Day 2 of another disappointment..ugh, this place been open for Years, I never tried it until today..how has this place been open this long with very horrible Mexican food... I can make Mexican food it's ez, more ez than Asian food. But still, how? I ask how this place serve horrible food. I rather eat taco truck, they make way better real Mexican food... read more

This is our favorite place, it is always kid friendly and has an excellent menu selection. Their food is amazing and the atmosphere is enjoyable. Used to go here as a teenager and now we bring our kiddos. Good food and family time. Their staff is also fantastic. They have great customer service and the main host/waiter has exquisite manners. "Always ladies first." Keep it up guys! read more

The service was really good, however I will not be coming back because the food tasted like it was removed from a can of chef boyardee. No flavor, no spice. read more

Mazatlan Restaurants - Cracked chip bowls? - Mexican Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Wow. Grungy and tasteless. Dry chips, bland salsa. On a Saturday evening it's not very busy, and I can tell why. While the decor and service was fine, my tortilla soup and taco were not. Really, I don't think I'll be back. read more

My wife had a taco salad and I had the veggie burrito. The salad was small and the burrito was huge. Both dishes were tasty but took a loooong time to come out and even longer to get the check. The restaurant was less than half full and it looked like there were only 2 servers. Would give more stars if the service was better. If slow service drives you crazy, pick some place other than here. read more

This is the worst place I heve ever eaten at in my life.. the chips were old..the guacamole was def brown I ordered chicken tacos and all I got was shredded chicken from a can with enough liquid to drowened the plate.. the only thing that was ok was the expired tacate beer lol what a joke this place should be shut down. read more

Sorry to write a two star review, as this has been one of our go-to restaurants. As always, the staff was friendly and attentive. Ordered a grilled chimichanga. Was in no way grilled. The server stood fast that it was grilled. Taquitos were as bland as hospital food. And, the gauc tasted "off". I don't know if they have a new cook, or what, but tonight was disappointing. We'll go back in a few months, see if they have improved. read more

Been coming here for over a decade, that being said, this place is now trash. I will never come here again. Found a bug in my water-normally that alone would have me leaving- told the waiter who brought me a fresh glass, set it on the table and walked away, no apology, nothing! Ordered a burrito with chicken instead of beef...got a chicken and bean burrito with NO BEANS! Again, no apology!! I told them not to worry about bringing me a new one- I don't eat returned food. I was then made to pay for my wife's meal!! Unreal horrible service read more

This is a fairly typical Mexican restaurant but it is above average in quality of service and quality of the food for the Seattle area. Being from SoCal, I don't often eat Mexican food away from home, and certainly my past experience has been that most Mexican restaurants in the Seattle area are not up to par. Mazatlán was the exception. Very friendly people and very quick service. Good variety of Mexican beers and a full menu that allows for a variety of choices. If you live in this area you should give it a try. read more

This is the ideal Mexican restaurant to visit when you want a nice glass of water, when you are hankering for salsa fresh from the can, and processed, grated Kraft-style parmesan cheese sprinkled on top of your food. How creative! Reminded me of mom's spaghetti, circa 1977. But I digress, this is the kind of place you take the kids too, because the portions are large and you can spill stuff, sling your refried beans around and no one's going to care. Live it up! The vinyl can take the beating! To get to the point, on the expensive-delicious scale somewhat analogous to Barney Stinson's Hot-Crazy Scale, the food didn't have enough deliciousness to match the price. If you want fresh, inexpensiveish Mexican food, Chipotle is a paradise, comparatively speaking. read more

Okay food, way overpriced. Most of the lunch items were 8.99 and over, and consisted of beans, rice and one other small menu item. Our server seemed to forget about us. On the upside there was plenty of parking and seating but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. read more

Yummy and HOT food! Friendly service and staff. We stopped here for lunch during our lacrosse tournament stay.

Friendly waitress, over priced bland food. The taste doesn't even come close to being worth the price. Vague menu makes ordering difficult. Wont be coming here again read more

This place seems to provide very Americanized versions of Mexican food. I state that only because when I ordered two beef tacos with rice and beans I was expecting to be served fresh corn tortillas rather than what appeared to be taco shells that had been pre-made. Also, the beef in lieu of being shredded was ground beef. The taco shells were soggy on one side to where I had to eat them with a fork. The rice was decent but a bit dry and beans were beyond bland. Perhaps I should lower my expectations and next time I will ask when ordering regarding my two main issues listed above. The waiter was attentive and it was a decent lunch but can't say I'll be returning any time soon. read more

The food was tasty but for the price I expected a little more. We got our Order to go, so what limited time with the staff the service was good. And with a complicated order that got it all correct. read more

Came in for lunch and was disappointed. Ordered a Mazatlan Burrito and what came out was a pathetic excuse for a burrito. It was a corn tortilla filled with greasy ground beef. Nothing else inside. Like a slightly larger than normal enchilada topped w cheese. The other lunch food ordered by friends looks no more than average. For $9 and up, I'd expect better lunch. read more

I have been going here since I was a kid. Loved it then, still love it now. The food hasn't changed, which is a good thing. The manager is way cool, and looks like he rapper Pitbull. My wife and I love it here. read more

3 stars for service. They were nice. First time I have ever been in. Ordered arroz con pollo takeout. The dish just didn't appeal to me. I have had it many times in different mexican restaurants. This was not even close to what I have had everywhere else. Maybe there are different versions. This was the undercooked one. I took it home added some flavors and put in the oven to knock down the crunchy, thick white and red onions. The flavors were not incorporated. The chicken tasted boiled and added in with those raw onions at the last minute. The tomato sauce was sour, mushrooms rubbery, and too thick. 2 stars for the food. read more

I went here a few times with coworkers for happy hour and sometimes for special occasions like birthdays or going away dinners. The margaritas are pretty good here for a fair price, and there's a variety of flavors. Dinner portions are large enough to feed two people. It has unlimited chips and salsa which is nice. In general, most of the staff are pretty nice and attentive. However, the last time we went, one guy was particularly off putting because every time anyone had a simple request (i.e. another round of drinks, extra napkins, taking a group photo), he would always say "hold on." While it's understandable a larger group might have more requests, a simple yes answer would have sufficed. This happened 4-5 times that night, and it really felt like it was his automatic answer to say "not yet" or "hold on" even though we weren't being pushy. The most irritating part was when he breezed over someone's request to put the birthday person's food on her tab because he said "hold on" so much and then forgot the request and brought out the tabs separated. It just felt so rude. read more

This place the people are rude!!!! The reason I gave this place a one star because the person taking my order was rude as heck! Food was okay but the people should be train on customer service read more

My family arrived near kitchen closing time, unbeknownst to us, yet our server was gracious enough to cater to us. Though it wasn't very busy, he seemed to be in a rush (understandably so) and was hard to get his attention. $4 margaritas was a nice little bonus, but the taste matched the price. I got the spinach enchiladas. Though it hit the spot, there was too much cheese and the ingredients (mainly the avocado) were not too fresh. I'm willing to give this place another chance when I'm looking for a big meal and fairly good service. read more

awesome food awesome people. great for families and not fake like azteca!!! go ahead and come here if you are having trouble deciding read more
