Mariscos Puerto Azul — Restaurant in Sinaloa

This place was probably the best food we had in our entire visit to Mazatlan. They give you tostadas with a super fresh pico to start when you order the zarandeado, really nice touch especially considering that grilled fish takes quite some time to cook.

The fish was really fresh and the flavors are rich and outstanding. Great sides, including the legendary salsa, come with the fish and the prices are really good.

For some the local live music may exceed their decibel tolerance, in which case you opt for a table back on the second tier. The experience is completed watching the other customers likewise enjoy their sumptious seafood meals. Highly...

The food was okay. It is the first time I tried Sinaloa style, so I was not quite sure what to expect. However, service was lacking. We were not told that the wait for a pescado zarandeado was almost an hour. Given the choice, I would have ordered something different. I understand when there's a long longer or not enough staff.
