They used to be good now it's a joke prices went up to $22 a plate ordered the enchiladas and hardly any chicken what a mess food was NOT good. For $15 I could have went to mucho burrito and got at least a decent meal. Avoid this place ....... Ohh I am paying the bill and the owner just charged me for tap water at $2. read more

This place was a fantastic find. So impressed. It's a little bit hidden in off the beaten path but well worth seeking out if you're looking for authentic and delicious Mexican food. The owners were so kind and welcoming and the food was beyond delicious. We actually just returned from a trip to Mazatlan Mexico less than two weeks ago and this food was actually better than pretty much everything we had down there. So amazing a real treasure. We started with an order of the guacamole which was out in less than two minutes and it was so fresh it tasted like he just went and picked everything out of the garden. It was amazing and the chips there are so crunchy and delicious. My husband ordered the chimichanga with beef and he absolutely loved it. It was crispy and delicious the fillings were seasoned to perfection and again the ingredients were so fresh you could taste the quality. It wasn't greasy at all despite the fact that it was deep fried and the beans and rice were amazing. I ordered tacos and gave the gentleman who I believe to be the owner the option to choose which type for me. I was very happy when my dinner arrived and he chose the chorizo tacos. The chorizo in these tacos was not that dry mealy chorizo it was huge juicy pieces of delicious sausage. The onion and cilantro on it just perfectly made these the best chorizo tacos I've ever had. My husband does taco reviews and I've probably had over 200 different restaurant tacos and these are the best chorizo ones I've ever had including from California and various places in Mexico. Hands-down the best chorizo taco I have ever had. We have actually decided we're heading back tomorrow so round two here we come... read more

Well lemme tell you about this place Went a couple days ago with a buddy both had Fajitas 1 beef 1 Chicken Yikes it was sizzling when they brought it to our table The whole place looked sounded and felt Mexican But alas the food SUCKED no flavour in either dish Nasty corn tortillas when the menu said Flour but the tortillas wouldn't have made a difference. Nice friendly older couple clearly have given up and are not trying any more. What a shame spent 50 dollars when could've done it at home with Old Elpaso and would have gotten more flavour. Stay away unless you like diarrhea and upset stomach Bring plenty of Tums and Pepto Bismo read more

Interesting place for authentic Mexican food located in a warehouse area and hidden behind the main street. You won't find anything fancy here such as décor, furniture or layout; however, you will find friendly owners who have a good sense of fun and can serve delicious dishes. CASH ONLY! with ATM in the establishment. Parking is average. They serve flour tortilla chips with a different kind of salsa that what an average Mexican restaurant serves. We stuck with bottle beer instead of house made drinks just to be on the safe side :). Not sure I'd dream of coming back just for the food, but I wouldn't hesitate. read more

So much yes! This is, hands down, my favourite Mexican restaurant! The menu is ultra authentic and ridiculously fresh. I appreciate how when you come you can order the same meal multiple times and it's always the same quality, but you can still tell that it is made to order, not previously frozen like some other restaurants around. Juan and Anna-Maria are gracious, funny and beyond friendly. You feel like family here and I love that. I also really like the spice level in their food. I get a pleasant zing without it being unbearable, but they still retain the flavour you're looking for. Most excellent. They also have a decent beer selection (Mexican import) to accompany the meal. I have had items off of both the lunch and dinner menu; the lunch sizes are perfect for a midday meal while the dinner will most likely guarantee leftovers (unless you're crazy-hungry... I'm not here to judge) If you appreciate real Mexican cuisine beyond run-of-the-mill burritos and nachos do yourself a favour and check them out. Bring cash, they're cash only. read more

Really authentic. The owners serve you and you can sense the love they put into their dishes. I had the enchiladas. They weren't drowning in sauce; they were just right. There is also a patio with four tables. I don't know if I'll be in Abbotsford again, but if I am, I'm stopping by. I'll try the chiles rellenos. read more

Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant - Starters. Fresh, handmade, delicious. - Mexican Near Me - Aldergrove, British Columbia

Yelp led us here, and the loud Mexican music outside was our first clue that it was going to be fun. The "cash only" sign sent us on a quick run to TD, and we went straight back for what proved to be an amazingly tasty meal. The couple that runs the place are authentic in every sense of the word. They worried about the quality of the food, they kept the drinks stocked, and they treated us to a post dinner shot of tequila to wrap the night. Great fun, quality food; like a trip to Mexico without all the hassles of flying. This place deserves 5 stars, if the 5th star was attitude! One star deduction for lack of a working exhaust fan, but wow, it still smelled great. read more

A hidden gem in Aldergrove, WOW! Stopped by for lunch with some co-workers and everyone was very, very satisfied. For some big eaters, they couldn't finish the chimichanga. Service is very personal, like you're visiting a friend's place for lunch. Free chips and salsa to snack on while you wait for your freshly made authentic Mexican dishes. Can't wait to come back and try their new menu that's coming out soon! read more

We visited after hearing a glowing review from a family member. The location was surprising, since it's literally hidden inside a commercial block facing a back parking lot. Had we just driven by it, we would never think to visit... But we were glad we did! The food was really tasty with lots of flavour, and the owners were very friendly and warm. We live in new Westminster but will definitely maker the drive to dine here again :) read more

Better Mexican food than some in Mexico. Food was great. However, place isn't very clean... honestly surprised stomach feels fine. We both received wrong items, but honestly it was fine and it doesnt feel like the type of place to point that out. read more

The food was ok but the price for the tacos was way to high. $10 for three tiny little ones was not worth it. I would go back again if it were not so over priced and had better portions . There are much better places with much healthier size portions for a more reasonable price! honestly for the same money you can buy fake Mexican stuff at the grocery store and make better tasting food at home. read more

A great local Mexican restaurant in a very unexpected location. The people who run the restaurant are amazing, incredibly friendly, and could not have been more welcoming. We were honestly a little skeptical of the reviews because of the location, but having eating there we can say that this is legitimately solid Mexican food. I had the fajita bowl, my daughter had a rice and bean burrito, my son had rice and beans, and my wife had a vegetarian burrito. They were all quite good. They were also super nice to my kids, which is always a big plus. read more

Large portions of delicious authentic reasonably priced amazing Mexican food. Lovely couple runs the place and were very friendly. So delicious. An overall excellent experience read more

My wife and I are originally from the U.S. currently living in Aldergrove. We have been on a mission to find good Mexican food since we got here, so when we saw the handwritten sign advertising Mexican food we couldn't resist. Mazatalan is located just off of Fraser Hwy in an industrial park on a dead end street - so only those who on mission will find it. My wife ordered a chile relleno and I had fajitas with beans and rice all around. My wife swears it was the best chile relleno she has ever had! My fajitas were phenomenal as well! Salsa was fresh and had just the right amount of heat and the black beans and rice were especially tasty (not the typical flavorless, refried slop you get at some Mexican places). Everything was fresh, hot and delicious - not to mention affordable. The service was also quick and attentive. This place was great! We will definitely be going back. read more

Awesome little quaint restaurant nestled in an industrial area in Aldergrove Authentic decor with incredible fresh, tasty food served with good portion size Great owner and chef and wonderful server make this place a excellent bargain Will definitely return often to sample everything on the menu Only negative thing I could think of is it is cash only Otherwise love this little hidden gem read more

Food had no real flavour, rice tasted a little old, tacos fell apart too easy, only one tortilla used. Service was ok, no real sense of how one should line up, wait, etc. Disappointed as when we saw the ratings we were hoping for something better. Maybe it was just our luck. read more

Couldn't believe I found this place it is a total hidden gem and it has some deals on Mobile Bandit app. I had the Prawn Cilantro and my friend had the Tacos. They were both out of this world and so flavourful. Also you have to try the huge margaritas made from real line and premium silver tequila. read more

The family and I were really looking forward to eating at Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the service was just as good. One of the owners, Ana, personally took care of us. Once you enter and sit down you are served a complimentary order of chips and salsa. The salsa is excellent and just the right level of spicy. We ordered the empanadas to start which came with an excellent sauce as well. My wife ordered cielo, tierra y mar which was a mixed plate of chicken, beef and tasty prawns. My older son ordered the enchiladas and my other son a cheese quesadilla. I ordered a beef chimichanga. All the plates came with a side order of beans and rice. We were all sufficiently suffonsified. The portions were more than enough. Señora Ana who is from Guatemala owns the restaurant and don Juan is the chef, he is the one who is originally from Mazatlan. They were both so friendly and they both spent time chatting with us and making us feel welcomed. My sons are pretty picky when it comes to eating out but both just dug in and didn't stop, a true testament to how tasty the food is at the restaurant. We all highly recommend this place! read more

Firstly, do NOT let the appearances fool you. It's out of the way, small, kinda shady BUT is probably the most traditional Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico. The owners, a 'mom and pop' type, are so nice, personal, and welcoming. He went back to make our food FRESH. Including the. Guac. Right there. On the spot. No heat lamps here. Handmade, cooked and straight to your table. She comes up, got me a nice cold Dos Equis, and introduced herself personally. Mexican radio in the background, you'd swear you were in a roadside cafe IN Mexico. If you like Mexican, GO HERE. read more

I used to live in the Kootenays when this restaurant was in Nelson, Trail and Castlegar. Loved it then and was surprised to see it come up on Yelp when passing thru Abbottsford. I'm happy to report they are still making the same awesome classic mexican items from previous restaurants. This place is far from fine dining, but as soon as you step in the door it gives the feel of being transported to a mini Mexico vacation. The chef is singing in the kitchen, water glasses are scratched and you may have to drink from the opposite side due to a few chips. But that all adds to the atmosphere and the food is Mexico level good, which is hard to find in Canada with the exception of only a small handful of restaurants. Heads up it's cash only. They do sell margaritas although didn't see any drinks on the menu. They also have deserts not shown on the menu, so make sure to ask. read more

I've been here several times for work lunches but thought I'd bring my mom out for dinner. She loved the atmosphere, music and the food. The owners are engaging and give the place a familial feel. Will bring mom back and we'll work our way through the menu read more

My bro-in-law and his wife took my wife and I here for an anniversary dinner. Although the location is out of the way and the atmosphere is definitely not upscale, it has the most authentic Mexican food we've had north of the 49th parallel.

Hard place to find unless you're specifically looking for it but it is easily the best Mexican food I've had in Canada. Friendly staff, delicious food. Very authentic. Make sure you bring cash as they only accept payment that way. If you love Mexican food this is a must stop. read more

If you are in Aldergrove and feel like Mexican food it's a good choice. Not the best, not the worst Mexican food in lower mainland. The sauce on the enchiladas and the burrito had a bit of a kick which was nice. read more

We adore this place! First thing, it is cash only, so be prepared! Cost wise it is on the high end, but the amazing staff and incredible food made it worth it. Chips and salsa are lovely and every meal was fabulous. We tried soups, salads, entrees and margaritas and everything was excellent. Very authentic Mexican food - fantastic homemade quality and friendly atmosphere, made this a win. The place is small, so aim for less busy times - although we enjoyed the lively experience each time we went. Located in a storage unit area, you won't expect to find it, but it is there! Support your local Canadian and stop by for a great meal and lovely experience. read more

Without question the best Mexican food we've had since we moved north of the Border. We have roots in California, and we compared our dishes favorably to authentic High Mexican restaurants in Silicon Valley like Palo Alto Sol , but also favorably to homey authentic taquerias from the San Joaquin Valley. Such a treat to find this place. read more

Don't waste your time...Even if the oil in the deep fryer, had not been months over due for changing, and ultimately, ruining everything that came out of it, the menu was uninspired. I wish I had saved the fuel, and gone to Taco Bell...Yeah...That bad! read more

Was served extremely undercooked chicken but didn't notice till half way through because of the dark mole sauce and am now sick. Absolute worst experience ever. The lady was not even sympathetic and asked if I wanted it cooked more.... read more

Went to Mazatlan the other day, and was blown away by the deliciousness of the food I ordered. Will most definitely be returning real soon.

Super awesome food. Shocked to find this place. We have chicken plus beef fajitas. Will be back!!!!!
