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.

You know that one restaurant that is calling out your name after cross researching Yelp,…read moreTripadvisor, Google and top restaurant lists while you're on vacation? Alright, Presidio wasn't calling out my name; it was the absolutely obvious choice when visiting Mazatlan while on a cruise last week. The location is very easily accessible from the cruise port (easy 20 minute walk) and right near the middle of town as well as the Malecon (beach boardwalk). The place itself is gorgeous and most everyone in our party commented that they felt like they were inside the Jungle Ride at Disneyland. A lush tropical interior courtyard with a lovely fountain, a hint of rustic flavor and decor of a bygone era complete with aged/damaged walls which were there either purposely as planned decor or as a sign of age and weathering. Either way, these walls as well as arches were lovely. And you'd never expect an interior courtyard like this from walking by outside. Oh, and the long old bar located at the back of the courtyard screams of yesteryear probably lined with old friends, old stories and lots and lots of margaritas, mezcal cocktails and probably quite a few banditos. Service is friendly and laid back; as is typical of non-U.S. countries, it does take a bit to order and get your food and drinks but when you're in that 'Hidden Courtyard', it doesn't really seem to matter. The margarita tradicionals are fantastic if a bit small for a drunk like me. I also tried one of the mezcal drinks and it was fantastic. My 16 year old daughter ordered the Pan Roasted Salmon for $419MX or $23 and she said it was the best she'd ever had. The creamy mixed pepper sauce with smoked chipotle was outta sight good. I kept sliding my fork through that stuff when she was done. My 13 year old son ordered the Esquites and Tuetanos ($324MX or $17USD - Regional corn cooked in butter and epazole her dried pepper aoili, cotija cheese, sour cream, cilantro with two huge bones filled with juicy bone marrow with roasted garlic. This was really great and one of our friends ordered it as well and enjoyed it. My wife ordered the Carnitas for $399MX ($22USD) with the optional Smoked Cheese for an additional $49MX ($2.70USD)...that's kind of funny...just throw it in there, guys! This dish was delicious. I ordered the Smoked Pork Shank ($489MX - $26.75USD) which is smoked for 12 hours with an anaheim pepper au gratin with smoked cheese (no extra charge!) with a roasted cambray and port demi glace. This was absolutely sensational and massive. Wow, this thing could very easily feed two people (or three if you order some apps). The smokey flavor was persistent through every bite and the meat fell off the bone. Really an amazing dish that I wish I could have eaten more of! We shared the Yellowfin Sliced Tuna ($289MX - $15USD) with a soy vinaigrette with ginger, sesame oil, macha sauce, wakame and kombu seaweed salad, cucumber and red onion. Even though this was definitely not a Mexican dish, it was absolutely fantastic. My mother-in-law ordered the Roasted Pear Salad ($254MX - $14USD) and very much enjoyed it. It looked great! Our friends ordered the Seabass Ceviche ($299MX - $16USD) and generously offered us several bites and it was fantastic as well. They also ordered the guac which was sensational. Overall, we all were so pleased with this place and continued to talk about it throughout the rest of the cruise and considered it one of the highlights of the entire trip. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My husband ordered the steak tacos with cheese skirt and were fine, but nothing special. He also ordered a tequila sunrise that was also perfectly ok. The service was pretty good as well, our server was very attentive.

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.
