Mariscos El Pirata — Restaurant in Sinaloa

We’ve only tried several beach restaurants on the malecon. In past years, only two have been our seafood go-to each time we visited Mazatlan.

El Pirata was recommended by a friend. Figured why not give it a try since she’s raved about it about so much.

Our server, Miguel, was welcoming, friendly and attentive. Our dish on the other hand, was not so favorable. Shrimp ceviche was bland and shrimp was skimped, the coconut shrimp was on the tough side, lacked crisped and crunch, and the campenchana was mediocre. The fish soup, no complaints.

Eating in a palapa was enjoyable. Had a great view of the ocean. On -the-beach dining. Just missing some music. I did request that music be played. That never happened.

Will we return to El Pirata?...

They kept us waiting for more than an hour and fifteen minutes for our food. When they brought it out, it wasn’t what we ordered. My friend got his food, but I had to walk across the street to Starbucks to get food.

While I was at Starbucks, they brought out a second plate for me, and it was also the wrong food. The server was very rude after this mess up as if it was our fault.

To make this entire thing worse, they weren’t even busy. There were three tables in the restaurant with guests, so I can’t fathom how it took them so long to...

Voy a empezar por el lado malo: No me pareció un lugar muy agradable, desde la entrada hubo un detalle que no me encanto, comente que llegue ahí por “recomendación del Mimoso” y me contestan “ha el baboso”, creo que si hubo una recomendación por alguien con esa trayectoria lo menos que podrían hacer es recibirte con un poco más de respeto y atención; mucho vendedor ambulante; y la comida no es deliciosa (a mi hija y esposa si les gustaron sus platillos) pero al menos a mí no me lo pareció, al igual que muchos otros que comentan, el coctel de camarón se me hizo malo, por ahí lo describieron como “parecía agua sucia, desabrido a más no poder, pura cebolla” y pepino, mejor descripción no se me pudo haber ocurrido, hay personas que me recomendaron otros lugares, pero como les comente, llegue ahí por el video del mimoso ((57) El Mimoso- Desde La Playa En Vivo - Grupo Firme - El Flaco- El Yaki - Grupo Codiciado - YouTube); y si se puede decir algo bueno del lugar, pues es la vista y la música de banda en vivo. Hasta ahí mi reporte, Ustedes...
