El Tequilita Restaurant and Bar. — Restaurant in Sinaloa

Tequilita restaurant

This was our first time to this restaurant. It’s a short taxi ride from Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay. Great food! The restaurant atmosphere reflects a lot of the Mazatlán experience. It’s an open air restaurant with a thatch roof. Very quaint and authentic. It’s a very relaxed and laid back atmosphere. The staff was very attentive and personable. The Mexican Sampler Platter was very good and offered a good variety of foods. Very filling. One person in our party had the seafood soup as an appetizer but it turned out to be a meal into itself. It had a huge amount of crab and shrimp. The shrimp fajitas were excellent. The only down side, which really is outside the restaurant’s control, was a foul aroma which occasionally would drift through the restaurant. Not sure if this was a one time event or a regular event. Will be able to judge better next...

I was passing by and they had a vendor selling coconuts in their restaurant, it was early afternoon, there were a few workers standing and said coconuts, I thought I should give them a chance , I sat in their restaurant while they served me the coconut , I drank it they they took it to cut and brought me back with basically about a small spoon of “coco meat that is added with salt chile, lemon. Ok no problem . The cost $75.Pesos !!!! I thought no problem , I got not much of coco meat , but I am sure they know their cocos pretty well ! But to charge me that , 👎 The. It’s is $40.Pesos but sure I stayed in the shade of the restaurant and I had to pay almost double ! Five years ago coco was 15-20 pesos I wanted to check them out to see if I can bring my family there but now I am not sure! Staff were nice 👍...

We went here ti break food monotony in Riu Emerald. We ordered the “Mariscado” this is the mixed seafood platter. I should say the taste is not much of a difference from the food in buffet at the resort. Though you will not get the whole fried grouper fish in the hotel buffet. Service is ok because we are the only customer at that time. The most disappointing one is the cost of their Tequila.. I have read in the review here how expensive their tequila. For some reason my husband still insisting on buying 2 bottles there. Their tequila the mango and passion fruit flavour worth $59 usd each. When we check it out in airport duty free the price of Patron Tequila ranges from $35-45 usd same...
