MAZATLAN RESTAURANT

Wow, this place is terrible. Bad drinks, bad food, worse service.Most of the food came out cold, including the fajitas which really boggles the mind. Cold fajitas!? It took them 15 minutes to get the tortillas for the cold fajitas. The enchiladas tasted like hose water.Diet Pepsis were never refilled a single time. They literally ran the whole table dry for over an hour. And I would have been able to cover this with the server if he wasn't constantly running off after one word.

I came here after being at home for three days. I had some laser resurfacing for a few spots of skin cancer. I looked a wreak. Had to get out of the house and reconnect socially. My first impression at this restaurant was from a young man who stared at me horrified. Ok, almost left. But my server was so gracious to me. She disregarded my facial disfigurements and was so kind to me. I had a frozen margarita and a wonderful soup. Just noting how welcome the positive energy she gave to me , in my time of need. Thank you so much. You Helped me through a difficult time and I appreciate your kindness.

Don't go there for the basic enchilada/chimichanga stuff. Go there for their signature dishes. I had their enchilada/chimichanga combo which was alright, honestly had better, but their signature dish called Mazatlan Molcajete won big praises from my husband! The service was pretty quick and we ate outside during the sunset which was nicer than expected since it's by a pretty busy street. They have a large menu to choose from. We will return to try their other signature dishes!

Stopped in after nothing in the area was open; we searched for an hour. THANK GOODNESS, we sat in the bar and the drinks, food and service were all unmatched. I tried my first guava margarita and it was delicious, I like tequila but don't like the aftertaste much, the drink countered the taste perfectly. We ordered our dinners and both were delicious. They were very attentive and friendly would definitely recommend to anyone. Not to mention the bartender had many other tables and was able to keep up with everyone. Stop in!

Do they even care about service????Walked in after a long shift for a well earned drink. They were busy, so I went straight to the bar to order in person as I knew the servers were overwhelmed. (Was one for many years) The bartender looked at me but ignored me while he cleaned glassware, then about 5 minutes later - as I continued to stare at him - he came over and said "are you sitting here?" (not hello, not how are you) and I said no, but I just wanted to order a drink so I can go sit down. He said "well go away,. Go sit where you're going to sit, and a server will come to you." I asked if I could order a drink first? He said, "Well, are you sitting here?? I asked him if I needed to sit here in order to get my order of a drink, and he waved me away and said, "Go sit at a table. A server will come to you." So I did.7 minutes, no server. So I moved back to the bar and actually sat. Because apparently I have to be sitting there in order to get any service. One of the customers right next to me said " I'm beginning to feel really sorry for you. " as he watched all this. So the bartender came up and said "What.?" And I said I would like to get a drink. And then he turned and started talking to a friend of his at the bar shop and took his drink order instead. When I grabbed a passing server and complained, the bartender came back and was like, "What do you want?" I told him what I wanted, and he brought it to me without any politeness, printed up my bill and slammed it in front of me. Didn't return again. This is service??? Damn. F this place.*** the bartender miraculously appeared when he saw me talking to the manager. He said something to the manager real quick in Spanish and walked away. I guess he didn't realize I speak Spanish.... and it wasn't nice. Management apologized and said it wasn't the first time with this bartender in particular. Offered to buy me another drink, and I turned them down. Wasn't about to stay there after this experience.**

Being Texan, and knowing my way around a bowl of queso, I was floored at how incredibly delicious the queso here was. Could quite possibly be the best I have ever had. The vegetables are fire roasted, and the queso is made with white cheese and very runny good. They also sprinkle it with a dryer cheese on top and then obviously put it in a oven. It almost looks like crème brûlée when it comes out. On top of that, the chips and salsa are to die for. If you like a nice, thin, slightly greasy chip, this is the place! The cheese enchiladas, rice, and beans are absolutely delicious. Exactly the way I like them. I can't express enough how wonderful our server was, and the other servers. Extremely friendly, sweet and funny. I live in Bellingham and can't wait to make the drive to go back!

I'm torn about this Mexican restaurant. I want to like it because of the space, but it's just another typical Mexican restaurant in America with the same feel as Mexican chains. They have a happy hour menu, but no prices are listed on the menu. When I asked the waiter for prices of some of the items, he told me they aren't able to make certain ones (mainly the fish items on the happy hour menu). It ended up being most of the items I was interested in. I don't know why they bother having the happy hour menu then given both these issues. I ended up getting the chicken taquitos for simplicity.They offer free chips and salsa, which I always like and expect of Mexican restaurants. At one point, the waiter gave us a bean dip, which was very nice. However, the taquitos and chips & salsa, along with the difficult happy hour menu, aren't enough for me to come back any time soon.

During happy hour, we got the blended peach margarita and the mango margarita, both half-priced! Loved the peach margarita the most! Street tacos were delicious! Would add just a little more sauce and lime if possible. Everyone was super welcoming and the environment was lovely!

Love this place. Friendly people and a great happy hour ($6.50 for a 25 oz micro draft). But I keep coming back for the Borrego - a lamb shank served with a bowl of the spicy tomato sauce it's cooked in. Man oh man.

Good food & service. Large dining room, cozy-ish bar. My husband loves the margaritas!
