2023 Mazatlán Restaurant Guide and Listing

This is a 2023 Mazatlán Restaurant Guide and Listing listing a large selection of restaurants that are the main and popular restaurants for visitors to and residents of Mazatlán.

There are thousands of restaurants in Mazatlán.  We can't possibly talk about every restaurant, but will discuss a selection based on our many years of eating out in Mazatlán.

We will give you a mix of different types of restaurants (e.g. street food, regular restaurants, restaurant/bars, sports bars, outdoor restaurants, etc.) serving different types of food (e.g. mexican food, seafood, healthy food), in different locations in Mazatlán (e.g. Golden Zone, Cerritos, Olas Altas, Plaza Machado) at various price points (e.g. cheap, reasonable, expensive) and provide information for you to contact them to make reservations.

Most of the big hotels also have fabulous restaurants that we won't mention.  We especially love the weekend buffet at the Hotel Playa Mazatlán and the eggs benedict at The Inn at Mazatlán Resort and Spa!

Mazatlán also has many street food vendors selling hot dogs, tacos, seafood and other foods.  Most of the hot dog vendors are located in the Golden Zone near the Nightclubs to feed all the hungry people coming out of the nightclubs late at night!  In other parts of Mazatlán, there are street food vendors that serve taco and seafood on the street!

Mazatlán also has it's share of the big chain fast food restaurants such as: McDonalds, Burger King, Carl Jrs', and Starbucks.  We recommend that you support the non-chain Mazatlán restaurants to really experience the flavors of Mazatlán.

If you have any restaurants that you recommend, please contact us with details and we will add it!

Street Food in Mazatlán

Throughout Mazatlán you will see food stands.  Normally, these are on corners.  In the Golden Zone, there are many hot dog stands.  There are larger stands which sell other foods such as tacos and seafood throughout the city.

Our rule for eating street food is that the place must be busy with people!  This means that the food turns over and thus should be fresher!

Fast Food Chain Restaurants in Mazatlán

There are many fast food restaurants throughout Mazatlán.  McDonalds was probably the first of the foreign fast food restaurants.  There are large McDonalds, Burger King, and Carl's Jr restaurants and a Starbucks in the Golden Zone.

There are rumours that Dairy Queen will re-open in the new retail/restaurant complex building that was built on the same location where it used to reside.  As of December 2021, the new building was in it's final stages of construction.

There used to be a few Subway restaurants in the Golden Zone, but they have both closed.
