Mazatlan Family Mexican Restaurant

A quick review here. We stopped in tonight on our way to Richmond NC for my son's HS football game. As we were driving through Aberdeen we decided to stop here for a quick bite. The restaurant is family owned and is on the main strip in town. The service was quick. My wife enjoyed her Margarita and the Corona Extra I ordered was ice cold. We both got the same entree which was the Chori Pollo ($13.99) My wife skipped the cheese on hers. The dish was tasty and hot. The chicken had a nice seasoning to it. The sausage on top wasn't too spicy. The rice was cooked correctly and the lettuce and tomato were fresh. Overall it was good. This is a nice place where the food is pretty good as well as the atmosphere inside. They have lunch and happy hour specials daily as per the sign. Skip the chains and give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

Yes. Recommend! We had a delicious lunch and can't wait to go back. I had the chicken fajita burrito with shredded chicken and fajita veggies inside. The veggies were so flavorful and yummy. I ate the whole thing. My husband had the fajita burrito too with steak tips. Loved it. Salsa to start has a unique smoky hint. Chips were warm. We loved the crushed ice! Also used in delicious margaritas. We were actually going to a different Mexican restaurant across the street but noticed this place--it was curious the restaurant was mostly full at 3:45pm on a Tuesday in August. We are here for a kids golf tournament. None of the patrons appeared to be. We will definitely go back!

This was suppose to be Chori Pollo, ordered it with extra chorizo and this is what I got absolutely awful dish will not be going there again and yes went back just to be told this is how chori pollo is made lol did not mention it was supposed to have extra chorizo yea this was awful...

Got here around 9:15 and the place closed at 10:00 ? Everything we ordered was thrown down at us . Clearly late night is not the time for visiting this establishment. The waitress was no nonsense and the whole experience felt like we were inconveniencing them. The food was good. Nothing remarkable to report . Probably because we could not relax. We had worked all day and had driven from Raleigh so the hour and half drive to get dinner was very disappointing. Hubs ordered the fajitas and I had a couple tacos with beans & rice. Would I go here again ? Probably not. Their first impressions were not good. Sorry amigo . Muy decepcionado!

My husband & I stopped in from Raeford. We came into town for another store & wanted to grab lunch before heading home. Service was great, our waitress was attentive & friendly. The food was delicious! & it wasn't a long wait, either. I enjoyed the ambiance as well. It wasn't loud, even though the restaurant was pretty busy. Overall, we enjoyed our visit & will be back!

Service was not great.. Got served after people who came after us and they messed up on the bill

Small and family owned vibe, very friendly and extremely affordable! Fast service and food came out fast too. Good sized menu with everything you would hope to find, but I have to say this isn't exactly authentic Mexican food. I had a lunch combo which was a great price, and for what I paid for the meal I would say it was good quality. The salsa for the complimentary chips and salsa was one of the best ever with a smoky chipotle flavor. The guacamole was also exceptional. The chicken in my quesadilla had great flavor but they used a white nacho cheese for the quesadilla which I'm not used to. The ground beef (chalupa) and refried beans did not have a lot of flavor. I'm giving this five stars for value and service, not necessarily the most amazing food and I'll probably go back!

Mazatlan is always our first choice for any restaurant when we go out. Their entire team is so sweet. The plates are large and they are not shy with putting a LOT of meat in their dishes. We love them!

Food is great and the service is great I've been going here weekly for years. I love the guacamole and the salsa

Had dinner there tonight - roach ran across the table and I didn't make a scene just let it happen and killed it. Told the waiter and he said okay. When I went to leave I asked if they could discount our bill seeing how the roach crawled across and they said no. We can't do that. So I'm here to let y'all know, there is roaches crawling on tables and messing around plates and the staff don't seem to care. I for one will not be returning.
