Caguamanta Doña Mary — Restaurant in Sinaloa

Recently relocated to the corner of Calle México and Paseo Claussen, Caguamanta Doña Mary has been going strong and delighting customers for many, many decades. At this family-run institution (“¡La Tradición de Mazatlán!”), you’ll not only find some of the best caguamanta (manta ray stew) the city has to offer, but a welcome so warm you won’t want to leave.

We had the caguamanta and the estofado de carne de res (braised beef stew), served with a selection of fresh accompaniments, tortillas and some fantastic hot sauce on the side. Both dishes were as authentic as it gets, delicious and comforting and made with unmistakable love, which we understood when we had the honour of meeting Doña Mary herself, who, along with the whole team, looked after us like family.

We want to thank Jesús Manuel, Jaime, Maribel, and of course Doña Mary, for making our stay a pure delight while we enjoyed every bite, not to mention the view of the Malecón and the ocean just beyond (the caguamanta pairs particularly well with the seaside vibes). We look forward to going back as soon possible to try the caguamanta with tuna fin as well as their variety of tacos suaves (chef’s recommendation: chicharrón) and, por supuesto, to see our new friends.

¡Muchísimas gracias a Doña Mary y familia! ¡Hasta muy...

On the Malecon but a restaurant for Mexicans not foreigners. A true store front.

We were on a food tour, the only reason we would ever stop there.

Known for a fish soup there was very good. Also tried Tonicol, a local vanilla cream soda that was great. Wish it was sold...

This place is a really nice place to take your family out to eat. They have really good service they attend you well the food is awesome! Plus it’s right in front of the beach. They moved right now their just down the street...
