We spent half of our day here and had a great time! We were even able to borrow beach towels because we forgot to get some from the cruise ship. The restaurant has direct access to the beach which was great for the kids, they also have a few lounge chairs where you can enjoy the view. We had the ceviche especial and the soft fish tacos. We were surprised by the amount of food we got but finished it all! It was delicious!! Chewy was our server and he was great! When it was time to leave, we asked for directions to get back to our embarkation port and everyone gave us the most precise directions so we wouldn't get lost. Traveling alone with my kids, I appreciate the help very much. We can't wait to be back!

Great food, drinks and beachside location. They let us borrow sand toys for our kids. The perfect spot to spend an afternoon!

Every time we had come to Mazatlan El Túnel was a great option, until last night. The food was…read moretasteless we asked for an asado, tostadas and taquitos, but literately nothing came up good. The service was average. The restaurant itself is in a good spot near plazuela Machado, and is very nice open roof. Avoid this place, I won't be coming back here again.

El Tunel is located in Machado Plaza right around the corner from inside the square. With a very…read morelong hall entering into the main dining area you will see what it's called El Tunel. This is what it's about when it comes to traditional Mexican food. No fluffy fancy names or sexy hybrid dishes, but good old down to earth tamales, enchiladas, Mexican Plate (the best!) and fresh made tortillas where they are making them and pressing them before each serving. Everyone had the Mexican Plate as we were really in the mood for some solid local flare. The plate consisted of a HUGE Chile Relleno stuffed with cheese and lightly breaded (thin) which was great. This was very tasty, and mine was slightly spicy while others said theirs was not spicy. The arrachera or skirt steak was melt in your mouth (probably some of the best I have had around Mazatlan) and the refried beans were very creamy and delicious. The enchilada was great and the rice was very flavorful. You won't find anything fancy here (you don't get chips and salsa either which is good or you would fill up on that and not be able to eat your big Mexican Plate). When I walked in to make reservations the day before, the young man I spoke to didn't speak english which is no problem as I speak Spanish. When we arrived and our waiter came to the table I spoke to him in Spanish and he replied with perfect English! Hillarious...didn't expect it since the day before no one spoke English. All wait staff seemed to speak English at dinner, and the menus were in English. I'll be back in December 2019! 5 stars

With great surprise and sadness I write this review. Topolo was the pinnacle of my dining…read moreexperience journey when visiting Mazatlan. Magical. Delicious. Memorable. The gold standard of what I loved about restaurants when we visit. Last night I was shocked and disappointed. It's changed...and not for the better. Still the best is the head waiter. Was grateful for him. Kind, inviting, knowledgeable, professional. He is the one waiter in my world travels who I love the most. Now the bad news. I noticed the seating had changed and become uncomfortable, ugly, gross. I remember being amazed by the antique tables and large comfortable locations in the garden. They are all metal now. My wife needed a seat changed out because the first seat was hurting her. The salsa was still delicious. The beer cold. We all enjoyed our drinks. The salad I ordered came, with dust or dirt in it. I was the only one who ordered a salad. The meal came in a reasonable time. My wife had fish. It was good. My aunt had Carne Asada, she said it was good. We ordered 3 beef Filets anticipating succulent delight. We 3 gentleman couldn't have been more saddened by the meal. Overcooked to zero pink after ordering medium rare. We could have sent it back but,..the filet was so tuff and stringy my father in law choked on his, I couldn't cut mine, and my other uncle just stared at it in disbelief. There was no recovering from this 440 peso disaster. Topolo. Take this off your menu or buy beef that hasn't worked a field the past 10 years. I have zero desire to return as my time in Mazatlan is short and I focus on telling others about and spending money at restaurants I truly want to return to, Your wait staff was good to us. But I will not be paying 900 pesos to be driven to you again. I will remember you as you were, not what I experienced last night.

Everything here from start of meal to finish was outstanding. I had the chicken with a corn fungus…read moresauce.
