ADOBES Restaurant Bar Costa de Oro — Restaurant in Sinaloa

The oceanfront dining room is spectacular. That's why this isn't a one-star review. Adobes is advertised as a restaurant and bar. This is mostly false. We asked three times to order something from the bar. Three different people responded that drinks are not included with the meal. When we said (in passable Spanish) "No, of course not, but we want a drink anyway, so where is the bar?", they were just confused. Eventually, our waiter brought us two weak, expensive cocktails. We chose this place because it had 4.8 stars on Google. The food was just hotel fare. The night we came, they had an "international buffet", which apparently was designed for tour buses. A sad little cafeteria line with maybe 10 items. Desserts included blueberry muffins with a dab of cool whip. The fried fish was soggy. The flautas were dry as dust. And I didn't fly thousands of miles to eat French fries or frozen mixed vegetables. I guess the fried rice was the international part. And the linguine. The clientele was all foreign. I need to figure out where Mexican families go for real food when they vacation in Mazatlan. Not here...

Not sure what happened to this place, but when we showed up at 5:30 we were the only people and buffet wasn’t going to go that night (presumably due to lack of people). Nice view and venue. Ordered tacos and spaghetti bolognese, our waiter actually told us not to order the tuna ceviche as apparently the tuna comes from a can (!!!) Tacos weren’t as described (hard vs soft), tasted fishy (not fresh), and generally weren’t good. My wife’s pasta was just okay. I didn’t complain but also didn’t lie when asked what I thought, which then meant I was explaining and getting gaslit by the restaurant manager for the next 10 mins. They did credit my bill for the tacos but really I just wanted to get out instead of hold up the...

Adobes restaurant at Costa de Oro hotel made our food experience in Mazatlan a positive one. Much of the food in Mazatlan was disappointing in some fashion but Adobes restaurant provided the best seating (inches from the surf), the best view of the sunset, and their beef and shrimp was substantially large and top-notch. I enjoyed their house red wine, and I highly recommend the kabobs as it was by far the best cuts of beef and delicious shrimp and vegetables that I had on our entire week long trip. The service was good, they barely speak English and like other restaurants will leave you alone for hours unless you make direct requests to order or to pay, but it's a cultural...
