    Sat right alongside the beach. Must make a reservations to secure a spot. The service was amazing got tequila shots before and after dinner along with kahlua and milk for free after dinner. 4 of us and all our meals were amazing. My step mom said best salmon she's ever had anywhere! I had fajitas they were good my dad had the Mexican plate and it was huge I wish I had ordered that instead. My sister ordered a chicken dish I can't remember what it's called? A bit pricey but worth every penny. For 4 of us botttle of wine 3 beers and margaritas 20000 pesos.

    We've been to Pancho's on the beach lots of times. This is our first time to the Pancho's on Camaron Sábalo. We're staying at El Cid Marina so we just walked. Excellent food and service. Ask for Ariel. He's fabulous!! We ordered shrimp fajitas and it was more than enough to share. The drinks

    Came to celebrate my brother and her wife after their small marriage ceremony. Staff was very attentive and right away gave us a complimentary guava mezcal shot that was creamy, sweet and just perfect. I ordered some fish with a side of rice and veggies. It was deliciously fresh. My son enjoyed some fried chicken tenders. I drank a virgin michelada substituted with just mineral water. We all enjoyed the food, staff and the restaurant. Needless to say we were all ready for a siesta after this satisfying lunch. Perfect cool place for a lunch or a romantic dinner.

    Amazing service (Hector was our waiter), great food and ambiance. We had table side margaritas which were a huge hit! We got a booth right on the beach. Great spot for locals and tourists! Highly recommend when in Mazatlan!

    This was our favorite restaurant right on the beach in Mazatlan! Such a fun atmosphere with good shopping right next-door. It was definitely our favorite fun place to go! Infact, we are headed back there tonight for our last night of vacation. Great Margaritas also

    Secret hidden restaurant though an alleyway of eclectic shops at the very end, right on the water. Service was immediate and friendly, the shrimp trio was the best to get a taste of 3 different ways the shrimp is cooked. The restaurant was open and airy to hear the sounds of the ocean just outside.

    The water is to fresh.

    The service is so nice and the coconut shrimp is the best we've had. I think the marlin tacos are better elsewhere but a solid choice.

    This is a conchita (complementary), and an expresso

    Mexican platter

    Another amazing place on the beach. To get here from the street you walk through the "mall" some vendors and then you come to it at the end as you see the beautiful ocean. This place is always busy so come early if you want a spot near the ocean. But honestly it's great wherever. They have an upstairs and main floor. We were seated right away but this time not at the beach which is fine. Three people in our party. We had margaritas (tutti fruity and lime) and I had a Corona. When you get seated they bring chips and salsas. Which are delicious. We ordered the Mexican platter (which is huge) can feed two maybe three people. We also got the Panchos chicken breast (which is covered in cheese it doesn't tell you that) comes with side of veggies and fettuccini Alfredo (so yummy) and lastly the half chicken. I ended up swapping my friend for the Hall chicken as I don't like cheese much, all our food was delicious. Came out hot and flavourful. There is the option here to bring your leftovers home too. The bathrooms are located upstairs and are super clean and lovely. The staff here are awesome. We got great service. They also gave us tequila shots and a few other shots for no charge! We had a wonderful time here. I highly recommend.

    Nice restaurant with a nice view. Not the friendliest of what seems to be all male servers. Most patrons seem to be tourists (as were we). Beach access from here. Food was ok. They provide complimentary bread/muffins, although we did not get any until they overheard me questioning why everyone else got some except for us. Decent price. Coffee was good, we may return to try something different.

    Marlin machaca for breakfast

    Wonderful place for breakfast and dinner. Waiters speak fluent English and extremely attentive to your needs. Even though it is after breakfast they allowed me to order the marlin machaca and was huge and delicious!! This is a must go to restaurant while we are visiting Mazatlan.

    I had the best coconut shrimp I've had anywhere in Mazatlan. Our friends loved the place. Service and entertainment were excellent.

    With the exception of their coconut shrimp, food is just ok. Service is hit or miss. Expensive for quality and taste of food.

    This place is actually called Mr. Lions. Came here last year and was unimpressed but my friend…read morereally wanted one of their drinks in a coconut "coco loco" is what it's called. Some positives: - it's on the beach, - great view of the ocean, - the special guacamole is delicious That's all. It took over 20 minutes to get a server to take our drink order and the place wasn't busy. But in the meantime the tequila sample guy brought over 4 bottles of tequila for us to taste. Eventually a server came by after we flagged one down took our orders. My order came wrong twice. How do you screw up a beer. Oh well. The coco loco took a long time to come to the table, but it's a giant coconut and probably took time to break into. I shared the special guacamole with my one friend and the other ordered the chicken chimichangas. She loved them. If my friend didn't want to come to this location I never would have come back.

    Nice venue. Nice hospitable staff. We loved Cesar and Jesus, they were extremely attentive and…read morekind. Drinks were great and the venue allows for live music and some dancing. Staff keeps the night moving with a fun party vibe. I'd definitely recommend this place for a small group looking for fun, music (acoustic 80s/70s top 40 hits) & drinks. Food was VERY bland. I had the enchiladas rojos and it didn't taste like anything at all... tortillas were dry and the chicken inside was dry and bland, the cheese was thick and greasy and it dominated the dish. I definitely wouldn't return for any food. Looking for authentic mexican cuisine and this was a disappointment to the taste buds.
